Effectronica posted:well, the manuals tell you what happens in ground combat, it's just so complex you can't really wrap your head around it, and probably nobody understands naval combat given that they never really fixed cruizerg completely. I meant transparent more in the sense of explained in the tooltips in game rather than it's up to the player to figure out what Gearing is and poo poo like that. I guess by going to a manual but paradox manuals are (were? do they still have them?) full of out of date information. By the time I got EU2 (about 6 months after release I guess) the info in the like 100+ page paperback binding manual was all totally wrong.

OkieMurse posted:I assume this is the Pike and Shot manual? I like it. Yeah. Game looks cool. There's three campaigns (Italian Wars, Thirty Years War, English Civil War) and a skirmish mode with random maps that lets you set up so you can play lesser armies in those wars (including like Turkish and Polish). Apparently a map editor and stuff too.

Getting over tribal is such an expensive pain in the rear end...I guess you're supposed to spend like 200 years slowly doing it instead of rushing the upgrades in your capital and switching immediately.

oh okay it simulates the hungarian migration by just auto-granting independence to everything east of the carpathians when you form it by decision

Abuse the Jews and Anti-Pope if you can. That's what I did. I also got 600 gold once from a mysterious source I still don't understand? Maybe a rich relative died lol

I've noticed every time I switch immediately to Feudal or Republic I get slammed in terms of income and levies since tribal holdings count as wrong holding type.

Yeah you should at fully upgrade 2 or 3 I think. Just so you have the equivalent of raid income. Then again if you're a tribal bordering non-tribal lands you should just go nuts on their poo poo til you can upgrade everything. I bet it's real fast upgrading as a viking

Routing units will be pursued by the unit that defeats them and if it's near the edge of the map then there's a high chance the unit will run off the map after the enemy.

DICKHEAD posted:It was so epic when Paradox farmed out the cold war game and literally the entire game seemed to be based around customizing battleships with doodads instead of politics and it didn't even have pops. well, it wasn't so much 'farmed out' as 'some modders decided they could make a real game and paradox was dumb enough to believe them' still really funny tho

PleasingFungus posted:well, it wasn't so much 'farmed out' as 'some modders decided they could make a real game and paradox was dumb enough to believe them' It's cool that EvW also leaked afterwards. I think Paradox has only had good luck with modders when it was the uh... The Darkest of Days guys and the dudes who did the big EU2 mod that was released as a standalone game (that I never played since it came out about the time EU3 finally got good). And I guess Wiz but apparently Johan had no idea he made CK2+ or anything when they hired him.

The secret to tribal, imo is to just stay tribal until literally every single one of your personal holdings are ready to be turned into castles.
