PleasingFungus posted:Is their liberty desire over 50%? Also don't forget to set them to siege or supportive. I've noticed that if you leave them on the default, if they have lovely income or manpower they'll just stay at home. Same with your allies who are poor but join anyway. You should probably always subsidize vassals if you don't desperately need their taxes for money anyway.

I'm very sad that the same patch that finally buffed Scotland also massively buffed England. I haven't tried it myself though. Maybe it's easy to jump England when they're down or have all their troops on the mainland fighting France for their cores like they seem to do in the first 10 years no matter what.

Knuc U Kinte posted:Taking 2 provinces and I get a giant coalition against me...sigh...that's what I get for letting my only ally Austria get pwned to death in never ending HRE wars for my own gain. Reminds me of my current Venice game, where I was using a swole, hyper aggressive burgundy to limit Austria's power pretty effectively Until they got about 15 countries in a coalition war against them. I just laughed then took the 25 prestige hit, but now I'm just hoping it screwed over any chance of Austria inheriting them via event.

Turns out Scotland is way, way easier to survive with now that England gets cockier than ever before. They are straight up stronger early on, so as long as they don't attack you first, you're fine. They tried to fight Burgundy for their core, lost horribly, had to cede their northern mainland provinces to Burgundy, who later died to a coalition and is now a weak piece of poo poo. Then they got War of the Roses and Lollard Uprising at the same time. Castile and Portugal never ever sent troops to the Isles, so it was pretty easy to just let the rebels kill their army and then occupy them once the rebels enforced demands. Anyway, the second war was easy as poo poo since now France bordered Castile, hated their guts from the last war, and the Wedding hadn't fired yet. England's force limit was lower than mine without vassals so I just rolled them and took a bunch of land. The only question is, does Great Britain get the mission to PU France? If they do, I should give France those southern cores back that England still has, and if they don't, I should take them for myself and murder France next. Tough choice.

I think! before 1475 so I don't think you can get that PU mission

I think it'll be easier in the long run to just return the cores and then betray France some other time. Since the Inheritance never fired France doesn't really have anything besides 3 extra cores from Burgundy/England, so I'm gonna be roughly even on force limit soon once my autonomy drops. They dont have any other allies so betrayal should be p easy. I'm the same dynasty so I could always keep prestige bumped to 100 and pray for a PU i guess.

after the end is tight. game of thrones is probably the least janky of the big, janky overhaul mods (warhammer, elderscrolls, etc) but jank is jank and it may not fare very well if you don't have any existing attachment to the characters. It's pretty fun if you do, though.

England kicks way too much rear end now. Between the auto naval transport and how weak France and Burgundy are now, you can do whatever you like continental side.

Looting is the free money you get by standing on enemy provinces. You can keep army's on provinces you occupy too. When it empties, move to a province with loot until it refills. You get more per month depending on how many units you have on a province.

heads up if you're playing england: the english civil war disaster is badly bugged and the beginning/end events will fire at the same time. if you let time run eventually the end event will automatically be accepted and the civil war with resolve with the current ruler becoming king of an english monarchy even if you chose the parliamentarians. basically paradox doing its usual poo poo again.

MAnpower seems really easy to deplete. I used to be able to circumvent with mercs, but even with half my army as inf merc I still lost all my manpower in 2 wars where I partook in 3 battles that I won overwhelmingly. I think it's the forts requiring large amounts of troops to siege down.

yeah now that you need a fairly large army to siege and they always take attrition it's really easy to lose all your manpower without noticing. i feel like upping manpower recovery in peace would be a good idea because as it is if it bottoms it out it takes something ridiculous like 25 years to recover to max.
