Since they've changed the Base Tax system, I'm curious as to what the heck is going on with vassalization now. Hejaz refuses to be vassalized by me because "Ottoman economic base compared to Hejazi":  But is probably one of the poorest nations in terms of development/economy:  What gives? edit: if it helps, I have 816 total development and they have 56.

randomcommoner posted:Shows how much I know about history that I thought it was a bug. Thanks. The other funny thing was that France joined the Protestant League despite being Catholic. At this time the Hapsburgs were on the throne of Austria and Spain, which also included the Spanish Netherlands, meaning France was surrounded on all sides and it wasn't exactly very centralized or powerful. Luckily for France they had a really clever man dictating foreign policy: Cardinal Richelieu It's one of the most devastating wars in European history. If you enjoy military/diplomatic history, it's a pro-read though the wiki link is mostly just a summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War

Currently I'm trying to play a "tall" game as Genoa. Noticed that in the trade view, the trade routes from the Sevilla node to Genoa and the Champagne node to Genoa have disappeared at some point. Is this an event I'm unaware of or just a bug?

Are my vassals supposed to be able to have vassals too? Maybe I just didn't notice this if it changed recently, or maybe it's a bug. Basically I was warring Khiva who had vassals Nogai and Kazak, I gave all of Khiva's territory to my vassal Ardalan, and after the peace was processed Ardalan had Nogai and Kazak as vassals now.

I've run into the same issue with trying to vassalize someone as Russia. A 5 or 6 province Kiev popped up next to me after they got released from Lithuania by someone and I couldn't vassalize them despite having a similar disparity in development as your game. Seems like it's a bit overkill (assuming the intent is to make it harder for the player to swallow up every nation surrounding him) considering there's already a hard 100.0 dev limit to vassalization and how hard it can be to get +190 rep in certain situations.

Are you using a UI mod? I think I saw someone mention that one of them got rid of those accidentally when updating to 1.12. They're still there, but they don't show up.

Deutsch Nozzle posted:Since they've changed the Base Tax system, I'm curious as to what the heck is going on with vassalization now. Did they just directly translate the old "ratio of your base tax to their squared base tax" rule from base tax to development? By going from base tax to development raw values should have ~tripled, but that means the square of their development will have gone up 9x. So before you would have had ~300 BT to their 20, for a ratio of 300/20^2 = 0.75. Now you have 900 to their 60, for a ratio of 900/60^2 = 0.25. I doubt that's it, but who knows.

Just found out the hard way that though you can select both land and enforce union in the same peace offer, you don't get the land (but you sure get the AE, and the war score requirements, and the diplomatic points taken).

So apparently with the new government rank/title systems there's some fun little Easter eggs depending on your culture, government, and religion. Animist Egyptian monarchies get to be Pharaohs, while Italian ones can become Imperator if they manage to become an empire. German republic empires get Presidents, while Islamic ones get Grand Viziers. If your a Confucian theocratic empire, your led by a Son of Heaven. However if you want true power form a Romanian empire and have your ruler can transcend their mortal form and become a Car. The full list can be found in Europa Universalis IV\common\government_names

Haven't played since just before El Dorado was released. I just bought that expansion (don't have CS, though) and patched up. My game used to run smoothly but now, while the game runs at proper speed, menus open like slideshows, shuddering into being rather than smoothly opening. I have a healthy SSD, plenty of RAM, and while my video card isn't a titan, it has the latest drivers and was more than enough prior (R7 200). Anyone else encounter performance issues recently?

When I start the game it doesn't open as the active window anymore for some reason; I have to alt-tab over to get it to load. Must be what messes it up initially and then another alt-tab fixes it. Thanks!

I know someone told me you can do it, but I can't figure out how to sort the province view by total development. I see tax, base tax, production and other things but not total development.

Can we put a dummies guide to idea groups in the second post? I'm an expansionary-but-still-somehow-Emperor Austria upholding the mighty Catholic faith, and I've got Quantity, Diplomatic, and Economic ideas already. Defensive seems like the most useful, for the army tradition and fort defense bonuses, but I can never remember the usual recommendations.

I'm really loving all the changes so far. The new fort system makes warfare much more interesting, I was getting bored of just marching straight through an enemy country to their capital without further thought. I find this scratches a sort of tactical itch that was lacking previously, and I actually enjoy building and strategically placing forts now.

Now I can finally do that Revolutionary Girl Utena campaign.

So I think the theme of Common Sense should be "Everything's crazy." If you want proof, just look at how my Poland game is going. Highlights include: -No Burgundian Inheritance -No Iberian Wedding -Castille getting it's poo poo wrecked by Aragon/France/Portugal -Nassau (yes really) is the emperor  -Brittany eating part of France -  And finally... Muscovy getting it's rear end kicked by Perm   I've never seen anything like this game. I mean, most of Muscovy being lovely is my doing as I've been feeding them to Lithuania for that sweet, sweet 0 diplo annexation by decision, but I didn't beat them bad enough that they should be regularly losing wars to Perm. After this screenshot they ended up having to release Novgorod and are just waiting to get annexed by Scandinavia or me.

They provinces adjacent to a fort DO get captured in 1 siege tick by rebels, but they should not get separatism/zeal/etc. from rebel occupation unless the fort falls too. If this isn't correct, then the paradox employee who answered this question was either wrong or was talking about a future change.

Tales from Frankfurt, an ironman Free City striving to remain both free and a single city from 1444 till 1821. The holiest, freest nation of one city.  Also the tiniest and most power projecting city in the world (on 1552)  And now protestantism has hit the city and I'm at a lost on what to do. Religious turmoil will be annoying as hell and my income will take a -0.33% hit if I choose to remain Catholic but I don't think I can even reconvert the province back even after religious zeal wears off. I could just jump to protestant but my worries are that it will get converted to reformed and that protestantism is really weak in this world because all 3 religious centers spawned in the lowlands so both england and the denmark alliance remained catholic. Only one free city to look after and I'm struck by indecision.

The Church Power development discount will aid your free city a lot, and most of the minor powers around the area will also flip your way, so the emperor won't be able to do much about it. The centres of reformation will also spread out past the lowlands before long. Spend your papalbux though before you do it. Also, you can take vassals. Beat on the Palatinate to punch out Mainz, then vassalize them and make Mainz into a march then feed them all of the land surrounding you. e; guessing hesse might be a vassal actually, looking twice. They are not as good a vassal as Mainz would be, but they'll do alright.

I did a Frankfurt game, went Protestant and then went back to Catholic after the 30YW fizzled as none of the major nations outsides of the HRE converted. Used converting back as a way to get Austria to like me enough to give me back free city status, lost it when an ally game me Mainz in some war, had a claim because needed a CB to make all the cash money. edit: I used Nassau as my march, probably not the best choice. Also lost some wars due to poor planning.

Mainz already got ate up by Trier at this point. But it's not like I had the freedom to pick who to be my vassals or who to even go to war against since it all depended on the web of alliances. Hesse is kinda crappy though since they're a theocracy who went Defensive and Religious as their first two ideas but oh well.

Was that the sole trigger or was it because your relations with austia wasn't that hot to begin with? I don't think there's a cheevo to track if you stayed as a free city through the whole timeline but I feel like I would have personally lost if I lost the free city status at any point.
