MorphineMike posted:The new patch stopped the AI accepting CTA for wars from before the start of the game, so Portugal won't be involved in the HYW anymore Okay, good to know. All the rest of that follows though, still good to ally France and attacking Portugal directly instead of joining the HYW is going to be faster anyway in terms of feeding them to Galicia. Galdarion posted:who would start well if you wanted to re build rome? Italian? someone else? Genoa is a fun underdog start, ally France and take the mission to conquer Gibraltar. Bam, you have possessions across the Med and can expand at your whim with Big Blue at your back. Conquering Granada also allows you to get in on colonizing if you like.

Still, every month they don't show up is another month you're getting stronger, and every tech they get before you reform is one more you don't have to spend monarch points on. It really is a good thing for you, even if that is a little

I asked this before, but I think it got lost awhile ago. What's the best way to go about winning the hundred year war as England? Is it still possible with you not being able to call in Portugal?

Blockade, don't lose any battle/get stack wiped, use mercenaries, siege down France's allies first and get them to exit the war. Then pray the AI sends you relief in the form of enemy countries declaring war on a war exhausted France.

Run away as soon as possible, blockade france with fleet access from pope or something. Buy down war exhaustion continuously and keep relations with Burgundy high. Pray burgundy declares on france, then move in and support their armies.

Has anyone had the HYW this patch? Won it as the Protestants and it locked it in, permanently. As in, instead of making it the new dominant religion, it made it the new official religion. Plus leagues are now disabled but the Emperor's getting an extra +100 in voting reasons from the (mandatory Protestant) electors for being the League Leader -- surely that should go away once leagues are finished? Bit wonky.

They changed it in the patch. Now only one league war; if Protestants win it, that's all she wrote.

It seems weird that the German nation-state and the HRE can exist at the same time. Maybe if the Emperor forms the German state by decision instead of Renovatio Imperii it should send all German culture group members a yes/no decision on joining the new German state like when you form the confederations and Germany in Victoria.

Portugal got called into France's 2nd War vs. England and I was able to take enough to be able to vassalize them the next war (and disclaiming their treaties with England + Aragon). 1514 now and the Iberian Wedding still hasn't fired. Is "King Joan" of Aragon ... a guy named Joan? Hopefully his heir "Alejandra" is actually a girl and will give the event a chance to fire in the next 16 years (only goes until 1530, I think). If not... I guess I have to go to war with Aragon to claim Spain. Two colonial nations up already. Though neither has yet to actually colonize anything else by itself yet. Is it worth taking the Ivory Coast for a Trade Company, or should I just focus on colonizing the Americas? I'd like to lock out the AI as much as possible -- quilting the coast, taking out natives on the coast. Right now I've been trying to get a colonial nation up in each Colonial Region to get the Treaty of Tordesillas (will Catholic AI mostly respect that?)

Could this be a bug related to the new DLC? The current queen of Castile in my game is Isabel de Trastamara, but it's missing the accent on one of the "A"s. And so, it doesn't seem to consider itself to be the same dynasty as Aragon's, which is Trastámara. Does this then preclude it from the Iberian Wedding event? I'm assuming that the game generated a pre-made Isabel for Castile from the DLC, but it messed up a little and now it's considered a different dynasty. EDIT: Well, the Iberian Wedding happened regardless. Whew, I guess? Jay Rust fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Mar 9, 2015 |

Castile has exploration 7 and has no idea western Africa and southern Africa exist.  Portugal has both exploration and expansion at 7, but also doesn't know about the Americas. Columbus must have died in transit.  Great Britain has the Ivory coast and exploration 7, but has not discovered the inhabitable areas of Greenland.  France has exploration, but is more occupied with blobbing than anything.  The screenshots don't include that all the countries know about the spice islands. I think they learned about them through discoveries from neighboring countries.

Hey there, sorry if this is a stupid and/or frequently asked question (my excuse is that I haven't needed to do this since my Crimean game, ages ago), but when I westernize will my tech immediately be bumped up, or will I just get bonuses? Since if it's the former, I should use my current monarch points on ideas, right? Rather than spending them on techs I'll bypass via westernization? (since I'm able to westernize via colonial nations, I take it? Since I'm about to dump some colonies near one of Brittany's colonies - who control modern day Chile and chunks of NA - and am hoping to westernize by bordering them) Thanks EDIT: vvv Oh, I'm playing as Malaya, so I take it there's no down-sized bonus like the native one you mentioned - just the lack of penalties for being in the Chinese tech group?

If you are a native, and are reforming as a native, then you get 80% of the tech that the person you reform off of has. So if they have 10 across the board, you'll reform and have 8 in each tech group.

Not only do you remove the Chinese group penalty, but you now get the neighbour bonus relative to anyone in the Western tech group, regardless of how far away they are. You won't auto-gain techs, but for every tech level behind it's 5% off; if you're 10 behind, say, that's 50%(!) off -- 300 points discount, before you even consider any of your other discounts from ideas or the Islamic Center of Scholarly Learning (since you're Malaya, good chance you're Sunni) or whatever

Paradox is incapable of releasing DLCs without massively loving up basics of their games. CK2 went a month with the AI being unable to declare war because they could not dismiss their levies. Rajas of India had the religious unrest bug, making India unplayable, which you'd think they would notice if they tested the DLC for five minutes. Now, unless that save game is an exception, it looks like they've completely broken the EU4 AI by making them unable to colonize worth a drat. Don't buy Paradox DLCs on day one.

You don't need to share dynasties, it all comes down to a traditional couple male/female or a regency council on one side. I got it while my Queen still had a regency council. I am really liking this new flexible idea choice by the AI, makes it so much easier to use vassals to convert large amounts of newly conquered land. In 3 games so far I had vassals pick religious as one of their first two ideas and start converting for me.

Defenders of the Faith covers the battle between the Ottomans and the HRE with good descriptions of the inner HRE and european politics (north Italy campaign, French/English/Austrian power games). The third describes the politics in Iberia with the reconquista and the Iberian Wedding as well as the Spanish/Portugese relations and the way of Columbus until he got his expedition financed by Isabella.
