Sooo I'm doing a game as Aragon and everything is fine and dandy, except for the fact that the burgundian inheritance triggered and castile got the netherlands. Which mean that they now have too many provinces for me to form spain diplomatically. Is there any way to deal with that or am I going to have to annex them the old fashioned way?

Phlegmish posted:Yeah, I know, it's why I rarely play Ironman. Do France and the Ottomans of all countries really need a boost? Well, I guess France often gets wrecked in my games with this patch. I think the idea was to make sure that historically successful nations become buff in-game. Also after you become familiar with the systems of the game and know how to use them properly, you don't really notice the lucky nation boost anymore. Maybe with the exception of harder starts I guess. Byzantium

One of the changes in the upcoming dlc I'm looking forward to is the addition of Galipoli that will cut off Edirne from the sea. Should make the old strait blocking strategy as Byzantium a lot more doable. Maybe I'll finally be able to get the achievement this time around.

Do we know when centers of revolution are supposed to start spawning? I want to do the Napoleon's Ambition achievement and it's almost 1750 and nothing's happened yet.

Yeah I think I might wait for a fix for the HRE. All of Italy has joined ( the papal states conquered the south and joined) and all of eastern Europe up to Muscovy is also part of the empire. Autria is mega-swole ( annexed hungary , all of Burgundy, tore the Ottomans apart, has Bohemia as a PU) and is utterly unassailable. And it's only like 1540.

well gently caress, didn't expect Napoleon's ambition would be so hard to get on account of revolutionary ideals spreading so drat fast.

Ok so going for the subjugation war with naples as the papal states is a real trap option, all that AE holy crap I was not expecting that.

Turns out Byzantium makes for a very fun game, provided you can get past the initial Ottoman hurdle. You basically take the place of the ottomans where you can expand in any direction without accumulating AE on one side of your empire and go the other way when you've got too much. I might actually get the Basileus achievement after all these years.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:How do you actually get over that hurdle, these days? I just followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P1_eCee-ck Do note that it's not nearly as foolproof as he says it is. It took me like 10 tries before every step went my way. The Ottomans caught up with my smaller stack in Constantinople way too often and I got screeeeeeewed by siege RNG more than once for example, but it does work and doesn't involve complicated gimmicks or exploits (just fairly simple ones). Node posted:That achievement got massively harder when they changed it so you can cross blockaded straits where you occupy territory on both sides. Before that, it was easy. Go into debt and build enough galleys to beat the Ottoman's fleet, then just blockade the strait while the Ottodorks are picking on some Anatolian minor and have their armies there, while you siege down the Balkans without any threat. They're helpless. Yeah, I know. And I wish I'd done it before that particular change. Karanas fucked around with this message at 11:15 on Jul 6, 2020 |

I'm having a very interesting Burgundy game at the moment. The succession crisis launched around 1470 and I took the option to remain independant and ultimately took the option to inherit all my PUs, albeit at a permanent 50% autonomy cost for all low country provinces. This lead to France and Austria declaring on me one after the other of course. However they were already beating the poo poo out of each other over England's remaining mainland possessions and so France's troops were nowhere near my borders, allowing to siege down Paris and a few forts easily for an easy victory. Austria was already being sieged down by France and gave up without a real fight. So now I'm in a commanding position, my entry in the HRE was refused, but Austria has lost the emperorship to a minor which will make taking territory from the HRE a lot easier. France is surrounded by enemies I can ally with and all I'm waiting for is for the 20 years to count down and revoke the autonomy privilege. Early game EU4 is just the best.

The way forts work is if an enemy army is besieging it and you send an army to attack them, your army will get the defensive bonus associated with the type of land your fort is built on. So build'em in mountain provinces if possible.

Is it still possible to revoke the privilegia before the reformation? Or did Paradox just made that impossible?

Man, playing as an OPM makes it really obvious how the AI does it's best to counter you personally in diplomacy. I'm playing a game as Dirthmarschen, and after taking 5 provinces or so, it's been an uphill battle trying to take more territory as every venue of expansion have formed alliances with major powers to cockblock me. East frisia and France? yup. Lauenburg and Bohemia? Of course! Wolgast and Austria? Longtime historical friends didn't you know? Bremen and Denmark? You betcha. Denmark and the loving Ottomans? Why would you possibly think otherwise? It's been a very tiring game is what I'm saying.

Red Bones posted:This shouldn't be the case, I've done it before as Madyas. How many provinces do you have? You can only form a pirate republic if you have six provinces or less, otherwise the decision just vanishes from the list. Oh wow, I only ever just moused over that bonus without considering it's implications. Thanks for the tip, that's huge.

Just finished my first Ottomans game in 5 years to get Sultan of Rum and Parisian Pasha, and my god are they boring. They're so strong you're playing in 1444 like it's the 1600s. Just non-stop expansion, and no one can stop you.

For republics, I'm a fan of the Sortition reform. You get a random pick from three different guys with randomized stats, no 4-1-1 clunkers every time, or you can spend tradition to pick the one you want and they rule for life.

Speaking of launching the game, what happened years back that just wanting to go back to the main menu makes the game relaunch itself?

So huh, anyone knows how to disable messages for when other countries use favors? There's a bug where countries are asking 0 trust for no favor and it is just happening constantly. It's super annoying. Edit: Oh my god even disabling in the message settings doesn't stop it. Edit 2: no wait I had to go in the interesting nations option. crisis averted, game is playable again.

I would argue that if you're at like 105 % the events are perfectly manageable. It feels like the higher over the limit you are, the worst the events get and they happen more frequently.
