I almost got March of Eagles during the sale but then I remembered that it will never be patched or expanded and it's supposed to only be good multi.

Knuc U Kinte posted:CoP is probably the most worthless DLC unless you wanna play native americans...WoN is the other good one with changes to trade. res publica is good because of national focus but the other stuff you dont really need unless youre gonna be a merchant republic. i hear the polish elective monarchy thing is kind of broken as well?

Yolomancer posted:Yeah I got all the EU4 DLCs I didn't have for like $10. Decided to play a game as the Ottomans. Wanting to do the mission 'Conquer the Levant', but unsure if I should wait for the Mamelukes to fall apart (if they will) or just go for it. Just go for it. the Mamluks crumble really easily and once you take Damascus and a few other rich provinces in the Levant they don't really pose a threat if you're busy somewhere else

Yolomancer posted:Cool. I'll give it a shot. I just finished eating most of Bosnia, Serbia, Wallachia and Moldavia, but I didn't full annex them because I didn't want the AE and I don't really understand the best way to vassal feed. it's probably cheaper point wise to diplo-annex them than core them and you'll need admin points to core mamluk lands. then again it all depends on what points you need or ideas i guess. ottomans are unstoppable if you take humanism if you dont know. with your national ideas you'll end up with everyone as accepted culture except like tuareg. also you'll benefit from the current bug where you constantly get Religious Disunity triggering and then ending for free stability

Knuc U Kinte posted:There's a diplo point trade off with vassalising now if you want to annex. I didn't think much of it until I tried to annex portugal for like 800 monarch points or something ridiculous. without core cost ideas i think it's slightly cheaper per tax base unless you have a claim on every province

oh here's a tip for mamluk killing. if you have the mission that gives you claims on all of mamluk provinces do not force them to release anything because it causes the mission to fail

you get a mission to conquer cyprus iirc. i'd probably grab it anyway though since it won't be much AE. at least with no one that matters (no neighbors and french culture)

Knuc U Kinte posted:What's a good game to do in EU4 after I get this 5 colonies chieve. i did a venice game where i carved through egypt to india. if you have res publica you put a trade post in every trade center province and then in india you grab all the trade provinces and protectorate everyone else and you get insane income because trade power of republics increases goods produced so all you have to do is be strong in an area and your protectorates will generate bonus goods

trade companies do the same but i dont think it stacks with the merchant republic good bonus?. you would still want to make trade companies for bonus merchants

Knuc U Kinte posted:How do you build a trade post. it's a res publica thing. you click the province and there's a weird house building. you have to be a merchant republic though (maybe dutch republic as well?). but it's about the equivalent in trade power of a major river iirc? more maybe? i know it isnt as good as a major center of trade but you can put it ON a major center of trade and then build all your trade buildings there and congrats. now you have a single province with more power than every province in southern china combined

Wormskull posted:Looks fairly epic. It's good as hell. I took a bunch of Athenian cities east of Macedonia but in that main area they bottled up my army in a strait to the north and a pass to the south. lost a ton of men, a city to rebellion (that i got back), and only managed to get one city down there out of all of that. I had to declare a truce but it cost about 1.5x as much as my pre-war truce. Also one of my Balkan cities rebelled but I have a truce with the faction it rebelled to so I can't really get it back. I'll have to rebuild and resupply for like a year or more before I can try again. I rescued Plato from the Athenians though.

I did Mexico in PDM a long time ago and had a lot of fum because i managed to beat up the US enough that the CSA stayed independent and the US went presidential dictatorship. In PDM this triggers Disunited States (states secede from the union) so by end game i was ruling over a chunk of the US and (through my spheres) ruling over an American Anarchy Zone where a bunch of small North American states kept fighting each other or falling to communist / fascist rebels resulting in me having to intervene and reestablish my sphere over them or stopping them from fighting. Funny enough I had fun with the stupid My Little Pony mod that I did an LP of on Badgame (and was probated for when I reposted it here) because it was basically like playing as an even smaller and shittier Mexico. Well except the barely literate guy that made the mod accidentally put a ton of Soldier POPs in Stalliongrad.

Wormskull posted:I learned Victoria 1 by playing as Japan, which are good since you can kick Korea's rear end and China's if you got big nards, or try to kick the Dutch and Spanish out of SEA, and they get a historical guaranteed modernization event, at least they did in 1. I never really tried in Victoria 2 though so it might be different, Oh yeah. Japan is really good learning game for Vicky 2 since it has a lot of stuff it can do and the only really hard fight is Russia and surviving against China's 1 billion crappy soldiers. I think it was my first game in Vicky 1 as well.

I used the Victoria 2 Save Game Analyzer once and I had like 5 million people die on both sides in a war against China. 1 million from casualties in a single battle alone iirc. Also in a game where I played as Russia and went communist about 2 million died in the Soviet-Krakow War which was funny to see.

If you civilize China and take the abuse from Great Powers most of the game you can get insanely powerful. Your income is good enough from just RGOs after civilization that all you really need to research is war tech as well
