Russia and the Mamluks declared war on my ally, I killed 400,000 of them, and my ally accepted peace for 220 gold. What the gently caress AI.

How often does the AI leave alliances? I'm trying to form Italy as Savoy and two province Ferrara has allied France. I would declare war on another ally and make them annul treaties, but their other allies are Austria and Bohemia.

Firebatgyro posted:I don't see how different countries having different levels of difficulty is a problem. If you are finding France too easy then don't play France, theres like 100 different countries of various power levels in Europe alone. I like different levels of difficulty but it's annoying how certain aspects of the game get railroaded. I play in Central Asia a lot and every single game, Muscovy forms Russia in the late 1500s and conquers the steppes. I have never seen Muscovy fail to form Russia unless I started nearby and invaded them early (and one game where the Ottomans decided gently caress the Middle East and went north from Crimea instead). Even if Muscovy is supposed to be an easy nation, I would find it more interesting if they sometimes lost to the other Baltic nations, or if an AI horde that unified the steppe had any chance of stopping Russian expansion. England is the same way except that the AI is terrible at fighting on the continent.

Spain declared war on me (Imerina) for my single gold province, despite having no territory anywhere near it. So far they have lost 85 ships trying to invade random islands in Indonesia. Hopefully it's worth it

It's very not fun fighting late game wars against Europe as an African nation. Not even because the game gives Europeans so many bonuses, but because you can kill 30,000 European soldiers on some island halfway across the world and sink their entire fleet and they'll still refuse to sign even a white peace. Also if you control a coastal gold province, every colonizing nation declares war almost every time the truce expires. James Garfield fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Mar 19, 2018 |

as a European nation you don't get crippling military penalties that literally only depend on the name of your country, don't get invaded by every colonizing nation on ten year intervals, and every war doesn't consist of sinking all the enemy transports and then sitting on your rear end for five years waiting for them to accept a peace deal for a war they cannot possibly win.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:It is really that simple - AI allies are too invested in wars that are being lost. If the wartarget has zero armies and is 90%+ occupied, the allies should be more willing to white peace *IF* they are outnumbered.  but AI allies refusing to peace out of a lost war seems like the same problem as Spain fighting a 15 year hellwar with some Indonesians over Cocos Island, so you might as well fix that too while you're at it

The new mission system seems like a pretty large and unnecessary buff to major European nations and a handful of others, at the expense of everyone else. I like it more in theory but it's pretty lovely that European majors get free permanent claims on large areas of land while almost everyone else gets default missions that are worse than the old ones.

Anyone tried Riga/Livonian Order in the latest patch? Everything I find says to fabricate on Danzig and add it to the HRE, but Lithuania starts with permanent claims on all of Riga and LO and Denmark gets permanent claims after one mission, so even if I manage to take Danzig (on which Poland starts with a permanent claim  ) I am finding it very difficult to survive long enough for that to work.I don't want to no CB East Frisia.

Deceitful Penguin posted:(It's honestly super lame that even The Obsidian Empire is just a lump that doesn't screw over to the other side of the world. Should really get missions to do that) They do, it's pretty poo poo missions but they have two each for I think Iberia, Ireland and Scandinavia. I don't think there's anything to give them a CB though, so they get claims on Europe if they take a province but the AI never will.

ZypherIM posted:One thing that I didn't realize for a while and am bad at managing is that the influence of your estates increases the bonuses they give (province wise along with nation wide), along with the number bonuses on their actions. So if you shake them down for monarch points and they're high influence you can get like 150 (not sure if it goes higher, that was something like 75% influence). Then the balancing act is that going over 80% for too long is really bad, but you get rewarded for riding that line. Overall there is a surprising amount of depth to the whole system that I enjoy, though I am really bad at trying to leverage it. You get 200 monarch points if they're at 100 influence. Kind of useful as a two province minor, where your second province is worth like 40% influence and you can rotate it between estates.

Furnaceface posted:Im going to try playing as Riga now that I have a better understanding of the game. Seems like it could be fun if you manage to survive the initial Poland/Lithuania expansion war. Riga is pretty fun. I took all the Livonian Order's stuff while they were fighting Poland, then took most of the Teutonic Order's stuff and joined the HRE before Poland could invade me. Also got alliances with Muscovy and Denmark, so joining the HRE to stop Poland was kind of overkill. e: 14000 Perm separatists spawned in Kazan while I was fighting Muscovy. Every province they care about is forest. I tested buying mercenaries up to my force limit and attacking them; it lost and 2/3 of my army died (and I had 0 manpower due to fighting Muscovy) isn't that fun James Garfield fucked around with this message at 09:48 on May 30, 2018 |

I had a few games where the reformation was really lovely, but all the major powers joined the protestant league and the HRE ended up with like three single province protestant countries rotating through emperor.

Eldred posted:Unrelated note - what's a fun start in Africa? Would like to be away from the northern parts so I don't have to deal with Ottomans and Mamluks right away. I had a fun game as Imerina a while ago. The ocean gives a bit of protection against Kilwa, and (once you unite Madagascar) nobody can discover your capital so Europeans don't invade until you interact with them.

Jay Rust posted:I’ve never played horde. Something about razing turns me off. I guess I just like numbers going up I often play in Central Asia and end up with Russia invading me every 10 years, sending infantry stacks to siege random forts, and taking way too loving long to sign a peace treaty. Playing as Kazan, invading them in 1445 and razing/giving to Yaroslavl all their provinces is cathartic.

The formables thing seems unnecessary because AI never does it in the first place.quote:Speaking of Ming, 1.26 may as well be renamed the Sukhothai update, as declaring an independence war no longer calls in your overlord's Tributary overlord. Sukhothai can now declare war against Ayutthaya without Chinese intervention. Also I don't have that expansion but trade companies seem like an (even bigger) bonus for Europeans and I don't know if Europe needs that many bonuses.

In any case it lead to monstrous amounts of Pretender rebels, which caused a Civil war, which caused more Rebels and in the end I was massively in debt and had lost 80% of my development when Pretender rebels enforcing demands also enforced Mushashas Seperatists demands who held only 2 provinces but got to secede with about 6 or 7 of them.

What are some other fun, moderately challenging ones to go for? I have Ideas Guy already but it was one of my favorites to get. The Riga one was pretty fun. You get the achievement at about the same time you become a major power, so there are no boring wars against countries that stand zero chance of beating you.

I had just conquered a bunch of land so I figured maybe it was some unrest or war exhaustion or corruption or something but then I found the culprit. My trade income was suddenly 0 ducats a month. In my Mewar game I had 0 trade income because I stopped having a trade capital for some reason. I moved the trade capital back where it started and it was fixed.

It gets weird when the AI does that with ships. I've had Spain land 90000 troops on some useless island in Indonesia, sunk all their transports, and then they refused to make peace for years because their only provinces I could reach were islands and I couldn't make enough soldiers to land there and kill their army.

If you want to avoid Europe you could try starting as one of the bunch of interchangeable nations in Indonesia, someone big in India, or maybe Kilwa or Ethiopia. Anyone in the Americas is terrible, but Japan isn't bad.

I've seen the Ottomans decide to attack Albania first even though they were allies with Hungary, and Mamluks+Karaman seem to like invading the Ottomans if they're losing an early war. If both of those happened in the same game I could see the AI giving the Ottomans a hard time.

Family Values posted:It's easy(ish) if you restart until Burgundy allies you. Burgundy will join the war on a promise of land (up to you if you give it to them or piss them off and tank their trust). Ally Castile and Aragon yourself to make them less likely to ally France, even though they won't join the war. Aragon works in place of Burgundy, if they rival France they'll want the southern border province. Also whatever Italians France allies will go fight Naples instead of joining with the French army right away. Also restart until France doesn't ally anyone big, and start by knocking their allies out of the war.

Beamed posted:Really interested in trying a Horde game after the earlier linked Arumba Mongolia game. Any tips for getting Gold Rush? I'm way more concerned about The First Muscovy War than anything else. I did it a few patches ago, but I started as Kazan and attacked Muscovy as soon as they declared war on Novgorod with my starting army and the free cavalry from the estate. Wiping the vassal armies early and fighting every battle on plains was enough to get a few provinces, and then by the time the truce ran out I had taken a lot of stuff from the other hordes and Russian minors. AI Muscovy grows fast enough that I'm not sure waiting would make it any easier. I assume I savescummed that event that makes Crimea an Ottoman vassal. edit: I don't know if I did it when I got Gold Rush, but if Poland doesn't choose the personal union you should be able to ally Lithuania.
