The EU5 question (which is separate from the Clauswitz question) was discussed a lot in the old thread - I think the general consensus was that Paradox is content to continue to do DLC while people are still buying them up.

I would say that it is probably a tossup. Sweden has great ideas and events, but Denmark -as already mentioned- got buffed and has a first age Denmark only bonus that gives them Subject Liberty Desire reduction.

Instead of waiting ten years, Ottomans waited till one of those countries allied some other country, declare on that country, took back their cores, and white peace the allied country.

Now that I have gotten to play some of this, I am really disappointed with how meh Janissaries are. They lost 10% Infantry Combat ability and 5% Discipline, are more expensive, cost MP to recruit, and can only be recruited in heathen lands. The Ottomans are still great, but that is just pathetic compared to what Muscovy gets for units that do more fire damage, which is completely a-historical and a bad mechanic to give to Russia.

IMHO if a co-belligerent can't reach their opponent with a reasonable number of military access treaties, they just shouldn't join the war at all.  No you see this would make the AI too passive and the player could abuse it!

Hrmm I guess I should have recruited Janissaries in Constantinople before I triggered the option to make it Capitol (which converts it)? Or do I lose the Janissaries if I convert the province that they came from? Also I guess I should go ahead and recruit them as soon as I am able/can afford the Mil point cost?

Fister Roboto posted:I wouldn't bother at all, janissaries aren't that great. -10% damage received is nice, but everything else about them is pretty weak. They still draw from your manpower pool to reinforce, and they actually cost twice as much money to do so. The bonus to drilling doesn't affect professionalism gain at all. So basically you're paying 10 MIL to save 10 ducats and 1000 manpower and get a marginally better infantry regiment.  and yet Russia gets a unit that does more fire damage lmao. I may just uninstall and stop buying DLC the way they are going with things, and just wait for EU5.edit: to add on so I sound like less of a baby about it - I was already losing interest in the game when it got to the point that it is so micromanage-y. There are a lot of little things that have added up that have eroded my interest and enthusiasm for the game. Little things like needing to remember to click the War Taxes button once I take the the era-related bonus button thing to make them free, micromanaging estates, and now bigger things like needing to remember to drill my armies between wars or I feel like I am losing out on important things or manually occupying ever province of my war target, needing to march into <far away place> in the 1450s just to kick my opponent's ally out of the war so I can end it now rather than in 5 years. Add all the micromanagement stuff to things like Ming, the new eras, and Russia getting OP free infantry when Russia is already ridiculous enough just burn me out. AAAAA!

Fintilgin posted:I like the idea of them adapting the new War Exhaustion mechanic from Stellaris. Like if you're England, and declare war for a 3 development island in the South Pacific, France is not going to contest it anything like if you declare war for the entire Channel coast or something. You grab the island, sink a couple fleets and after a year or two, France says 'gently caress it' and lets you have the frozen, guano covered rock off the coast of Antarctica rather then burning their entire country to the ground over it. This would allow them to program the AI to do what you're saying - have them be willing to peace out before England needs to sack Paris and occupy half the country just to bring the AI to the table.

I forget how this minutia of Trade Mechanics works - if I have Provincial Trade Power in a node, but do not have a merchant directing said Trade Power to be used for collecting or directing trade, what happens to it IF I have a subject using a merchant to direct trade? Does my power go towards theirs or anything? I ask because I am trying to figure out if I should plan on drawing my Pretty Borders one way or another; if my vassal should own Shirvan or I should. Hisn Kayfa's capital is in the Aleppo node and is using a merchant to pull value from Persia, where Shirvan is; I'm then pulling the vast majority of trade from Aleppo to Constantinople. I will never have enough merchants to plug one into the Persia node to direct my power to moving the value upstream.

doingitwrong posted:First, the game calculates total trade value (incoming + local production). Then it looks at total trade power (collecting + transferring) vs trade power transferring to figure out what fraction of that value stays or goes. Your trade power contributes to this ratio even if you have no merchant. That determines the total value that leaves. The rest is divided up between the people collecting. Firebatgyro posted:Money isn't ever really an issue for the Ottomans, you are going to be way better off if you can grab the -10% AE than another merchant. Honestly you are probably better off with just the 50 adm than another merchant. An ancillary reason for taking the merchant is that Constantinople is just barely the most valuable trade node in the world right now and I would like to keep it that way to get the bonus for spawning Global Trade. Printing just spawned a decade ago so I am planning now for ensuring I can spawn Global Trade. Also I went full Janissary once I unlocked Disbanding Returns Manpower To The Pool for Professionalism, which means when I take losses in war it is doubly expensive. I have stayed at my forcelimits a vast majority of the game in order to grow my Professionalism faster, but that shits expensive, yo. I have switched to the Maliki Development bonus when spawning instutions. It seems like it has worked out well so far.
