This might explain why I was getting monthly notifications on France joining the league.

Are treasure fleets bugged? Despite having a colonial nation in every possible zone as Spain, I have yet to see a treasure fleet. Looking at the meters under the Subjects tab it just says that I am not downstream of any of the right nodes? Even though I'm pretty sure Sevilla is downstream of almost everything.

And since the leagues were screwed up I couldn't get a league war to fire so now Catholic is the official religion forever according to this popup.

Zurai posted:

If no League War ever happened, Catholic shouldn't be the enforced official religion of the HRE. The Peace of Westphalia, which should be the event you got, means that any Christian monarch can become Emperor, regardless of the particular branch of Christianity. I think it's actually the only way to get an Orthodox, Coptic, or Reformed Emperor now.

We mod goon MP games heavily and like to experiment, so the more things that can be customized in mods, the better.

I'd like to be able to set the default wartime/peacetime WE and autonomy reduction one day, though I want to experiment with setting peacetime autonomy reduction to 0.

Peace of Westphalia is if the league war ends without one side enforcing their religion on the other. If the league wars never happen, the dominant religion just stays dominant.

I have to say, the tooltip for exploration is poorly worded, it says "You need a total of 3 Light and Heavy ships" which makes it sound like you need 3 Light + 3 Heavy to do exploration.

Great Britain was the leader of the Protestant league and was allied with the Emperor so they'd never start the war and there was nothing I could do about it.

Yeah this needs fixing, an ally of the emperor should not be chosen as the leader of the opposing league. It's a bummer expecting some kind of shake up or bloodbath when league fires only to get a wet fart to the face.

That's a perfectly fine sentence. If it was intended to be the way you thought it was, it would says "3 light and 3 heavy". If it said "3 light or heavy ships" it would imply they all had to be the same.

Good news! There's a file in your game folder, common/static_modifiers/00_statics_modifiers.txt. It has a section, labeled 'peace', which allows you to set just such things. Knock yourself out. I've never tried to package something as a mod though so I don't know whether this would work for that purpose.

Are rebels out of hand? I'm having no issues keeping down the occasional English or Scottish Patriots (or Lancaster patriots for some reason), but my colonial Mexico is getting torn to shreds by Mayan/Aztec/Zapotec/etc. patriots and zealots.

And these rebels aren't weak native armies, they're on par with my own armies.

I got the war dlc whatever it's called and was gonna try it out but EU4 crashes at the launcher. like i cant even click on anything it freezes up

Gwyrgyn Blood posted:

Just keep launching it. It's a crash related to updating mods in the launcher. It should work eventually.

Failing that, disable cloud sync.

Ugh. Spain invaded me as I was almost done westernising. Took basically all the northern provinces from me, so when I'm going to attack back I'll have to sail my newly constructed fleet all the way around the southern tip.

Playing Cusco/Inca is pretty fun though, but I suspect I might need to colonise all of south america before I start tangling with Spain and England. Yes, England are colonising Brazil for some reason.

Any suggestions for a third idea group? I have exploration and defensive so far. if Economic was better overall I'd take it for the inflation reduction but it is just not worth it. I was thinking of maybe going religious.

Does inflation do anything other than make things more expensive? Like, do you suffer stability problems if it gets too high? I've never let inflation get higher than 12 or so.

Coming from eu3 I have an irrational hatred of inflation!

Should I make as much protectorates as I can?

I've gotten Choctaw and Cherokee so far.

I have over 20 inflations and haven't seen too bad effects right now.

Actually I was looking into the events and I saw this one:

code:

# Financial Ruin 02
country_event = {
	id = 3082
	title = "EVTNAME3081"
	desc = "EVTDESC3081"
	picture = BANKRUPTCY_eventPicture
	
	trigger = {
		gold = 2
		inflation = 15
		has_idea = vice_roys
		NOT = { has_idea = national_bank }
		NOT = { has_country_flag = bankruptcy }
	}

	mean_time_to_happen = {
		months = 600
		}
	}

	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTA3081"		# We are on the verge of bankruptcy
		add_stability = -3
		add_treasury = -1000
		random_owned_province = {
			anti_tax_rebels = 2
		}
		add_inflation = 5
		set_country_flag = bankruptcy
	}
}

I edited out a bunch of modifiers (it gets more likely if you have more inflation) but I also don't know how to parse these exactly. Does this event only fire if you have over 15 inflation AND you have the idea Viceroys (from Exploration)? That seems extremely stupid if so. Why would it only affect countries that have made it halfway through the Exploration idea group?

This is the second one though, there's an identical event that fires if you've got over 20 inflation and you're at war and you have 1 or more loans. So, if you've got stupid high inflation, just don't take a loan and you'll never see any downside. Man, what a stupid event.

It also provides a lot of cool fantasy/scifi modding potential. You could make a fantasy techgroup with wizards replacing cannons, for example, and give them a tiny unit size but tons of pips.

Poil posted:

Maybe replacing cavalry with dragons. Dragon dragoons? But you'd need to be able to set different costs for different tech groups then. Unless you wish to stick in a +5000% cavalry cost and maintenance tradition.
