Poil posted:I really wish I could forge claims on behalf of my vassals. The lazy bastards (2-3 of them) have barely made any over many many decades in my current game. Something I see Arumba do a lot, and in the 15 hours I've played this I haven't tried to replicate so I can't say where this happens, is set provinces as special interest which tells his vassals to make claims. I'm currently trying to unravel the mystery of merchant placement and light ships so haven't had time to rummage through the rest of the interface.

Having recently started up an eu4 game after doing ck2 for while I gotta ask, Paradox is aware there are negative things that can happen that aren't "lose reform progress" and "lose stability" right?

https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Save-game_editing I think the format is the same for eu4. Crack open the archive, change the ironman lines in both files inside with notepad++, zip it back up with the right options, should have a non ironman save to check it with.

Anyone have any suggestions to improve EU4 startup time? It takes literally 5 minutes to launch to the main menu every single time (like first startup, having the audacity to click a back button in the single player menu, crashes, quitting a game and returning to the menu, etc). Game is snappy once it's running, games themselves load fast, but there's this 5 minute lag every time the main menu is involved. Every drive in my system is an SSD, 32gb ram, i7-6700, nvidia 1070. Nothing top of the line anymore, but I've seen people with vastly more terrible setups startup almost instantly. Any ideas what might be taking it so long?

skasion posted:Yeah there’s no way that should be happening. Have you tried reinstalling? Don't have many saves (like 6) since I'm pretty new to EU4. Reinstalling didn't accomplish much sadly. Dumped the whole thing into a ramdisk and it dropped from 186 seconds load time to 103, so that's something.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Do you own anything outside of Ryukyu directly?!? He has Japan. With the new hotness Ryukyu there's no need to. Just make Ming kill Ashikaga for you at the start, swap your government to independent daimyo or whatever it is called and eat the corruption, now you can have unlimited daimyo vassals. Sit on your island, drink some tea, paint some cherry blossoms, make your vassals conquer the world for you

dialhforhero posted:I came to this game and CK2 after playing HOI4 and Stellaris and I cannot grasp either EU4 or CK2. Is there something I am missing? The general feel is similar if only because of the engine and some UI elements but drat, the gameplay is totally different. What am I missing? I can’t seem to grasp the economy or intrigue of the two games. While it isn't a tutorial quill18's vaguely recent (ok, a year ago) air campaign got me through the basics since he was re-learning the game as he went https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYAB2vro2qw assuming of course you can get over his meme pronunciation of europe

While true, Colonizer Only is also about the only start that doesn't immediately turn into "how far into a WC can I get". Attach yourself like a limpit to Spain, colonize the new world, reclaim those Portugese gold mines the African tribals have been holding for you for the last hundred years, and just chill

Vivian Darkbloom posted:Too bad Ruyuku isn't a daimyo in 1444, though. The strategy I've seen is to get a toehold on Japan via no-CB war, then eat the 10 corruption to reform the government to daimyo. If you're more willing to restart a few times than eat the stab hit, trying to guess which daimyo is going to get attacked by ashikaga first and getting relations up so you can enforce peace to get into the war works too. Then you just wait for Ashikaga to get real mad about the territory you took and attack you so you can make Ming do all the heavy lifting.

SirPhoebos posted:I didn't recruit any regiments, and I think I built like 1 light ship. Also mothball (or sell) your starting heavies, that'll save you a bunch of money, and be sure to send any light ships you might have to protect trade (it's possible sending them out to privateer would make you more money but protect is the safe lazy option to start out with) If you grab an alliance with Castille it's also pretty safe to mothball your non-african forts (never have an unmaintained fort on the Morocco border) and turn down army maintenance to save more cash
