Oh wow you can full annex a non-belligerent junior partner in a war, awesome. Went to war with Tunis (and Grenada) as Castille and was able to full annex Granada in a few years, truce-be-damned.

Whoever suggested playing as Genoa, awesome idea. I'm having a blast getting random missions "beat up tunis, beat up this random province in morocco, etc". I'm spread all around AND I managed to beat everyone else to Cape Verde (after stealing Grenada out from under Castille). I had to play it fast and loose by keeping an admin guy then a diplo guy long enough to get the idea up but it was worth it. Now I need to get my RT back up and try not to piss off the ottomans (all my missions are beat up the ottomans so I'm hoping to find someone who can help me)...I was the bosphorus.

Somethings things work out. Joined Austria in a minor HRE war just to keep them as allys, my entire army is busy destroying...ahem...turning Morocco into a trade paradise. So this little 6 stack marches in from Hesse or some poo poo, as I get a popup to either lose 10 prestige or spawn a stack of rebels in Genoa. Sucks to be the invading army.

The Ottomans took two Mamluke provinces that weren't contiguous with the ottoman main land. I (Genoa) took a province next door and the Ottomans got the colonialism CB on me. That seems a little...off...

Does that CB apply to all distant overseas everywhere? Or was it wonky because the two Ottoman provinces weren't part of mainland Ottoman.

It's cool, I got back at the ottomans by shoving Austria and Poland/Lith into a war (while they were invading more Mamluke land) and taking everything that borders the bosporus. Deny ME access to the Black Sea, will you!?

I'm best friends with the Papal State. Naples takes Roma, so I take the mission to restore the Holy See. Attack Naples, Papal State is allied to castile, and thus sees it as a defensive call (I guess?) and joins against me. I'm tempted to loving vassalize them for their insolence.

They had a green check for me too which is stupid.

My guess is you're getting it when you're in a war (+25) with your ally Sweden?

That's probably exactly it. Sweden hosed me in the last war by denying me one of my claims, so once I wrap up this horde mess I'm marching west.

Edit: note if you are trying to factor in Production and Trade Efficiency bonuses from NIs and buildings, this table is showing PE and TE combined. So if you wondered how much adding a Workshop for +50% PE would change things, count that as +25% on the table.

I can convert that to a yearly instead of monthly income if someone really wants.

I'd like to see a mechanic where low tech/low morale armies on the run would hemorrhage men as people along the retreat path just said gently caress it and disbanded. Especially for those pesky armies you have to chase all over, as they lost more in-a-row battles w/out reinforcement they should lose men.

I'd also like to see disbanded troops give some manpower back, or in a perfect world give it back over time as people return home from the army but become draftable again (and to prevent cheesery).

Colonial Air Force posted:

Low morale armies do hemorrhage people, but it's reflected in their losses as they flee combat. That's why it takes manpower to restore them.

Definitely agree on your second point, though.

But sometimes you ping pong an army ten times from one end to the other and they only lose a few guys each time till you force then into a stack wipe which is rather silly sometimes.

Plus, you can capture boats why not defectors. Would be neat if they functioned like event spawned guys and disbanded after the war you captured them in.

The game saw how low your power projection was and decided to award you with 10 free points.
Apparently the rivals system is getting a rework soon (next patch, I think?), so it'll probably be better then.

By the way, you might want to edit your images. Just delete the letter "l" before the ".jpg" part, so that the images aren't displayed at just 640x360.

I thought adding the l made them show small but click to embiggen?

I mean, there isn't much actual good history in the game, just very broad strokes intentionally chosen to make a good game.

It's a great gateway for getting interesting in particular nations, regions, etc. and reading up on them outside the game though.

It's stuff like "Oh I know where in the country that native tribe starts" or "I am familiar with the iberian wedding as something that unified spain", stuff like that. Geography a lot too.
