What determines what exploration missions are available? Just recruited an explorer as Holland in 1472 and the only option is to circumnavigate the globe.

Bort Bortles posted:I am waiting for a building to be added that lets you have a capital sized and style garrison (1k men) anywhere. It would have 1/4 or 1/3 the upkeep of a fort, no ZoC, could not be mothballed, not add much or any army tradition, but let you have at least some mild fortifications on islands or important places. e.g. Crete, Madeira, Gotland or if you have a province next to a fort that is important but not strategic enough to merit a fort, or it is a fort's ZoC but you want this province (a CoT, Estuary, gold province, big manpower province, whatever) to not have a 1 month siege. It would take up a building slot so there would be "opportunity cost" for having it, but it may be just what you need. It also would probably not have any upgrades. I'd just make single province islands have a capital fort for free, which you can improve on by building a fort there.

Remain the senior partner, with all that implies in terms of having to maintain the union. 2. Become the junior partner. 3. Let your king become their king, and put one of his relatives on your throne. 4. Set up one of his relatives on their throne. Aside from determining your ruler, these could also have different bonuses associated with them, like boosted relations, prestige, and/or diplomatic reputation.

I'm a republic, is there any point in staying in the HRE? It got me out of direct wars with the emperor in the past as expanded within, but now every minor war with some stupid OPM ends up dragging the whole empire against me. I can't increase my government rank as a member, so should I just leave?

I think it might be neat to give the player a one-time tag-switch interface on each monarch death. "Your king has passed away. Which court does your heir reside in?" I also think it would be neat to represent China better, although they've apparently gone berzerk in Common Sense. They regularly rule all of Manchuria and most of the steppe now.

Eimi posted:Huh I experienced it as very cheap in the first CS patch. I thought he meant it got increased in 1.13. The cost is the same, 10 DIP and one month conversion time per development. CS increased coring costs a bit and literally doubled diplo-annexation costs, but culture conversion is the same. Religious conversion is a bit easier. Edit: if you wanna sperg it, 1 basetax ~ 2.5 development Previously 20 ADM to core per basetax, now 10 per development, so 25% higher coring costs without claims. The change in claim discount means if you factor that in, +50% coring costs. Diplo-integration used to be 10 per basetax, now 8 per development. Fully twice as expensive to integrate. Religious conversion difficulty used to be +0.5% per basetax, now is +0.1% per development. So conversion difficulty from province size is halved, meaning rich provinces are much easier to convert. Culture conversion was 25 per basetax, now 10 per development. It's the same. Pellisworth fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Jul 3, 2015 |

I've never played The Mamluks so I thought I give it a go and hopefully do the Arabian Coffee achievement, and I have to say that it's one of the more fun countries I've played lately. Good economy, large army and really intense starting position as you pretty much have to hurry all you can to take down the Ottomans before they get going. It's around 1500 and I've managed to kick them completely out of modern-day Turkey so now they're a small state in the Balkans. I would leave them alone from now on and hope that either Hungary or Venice take them out, but I am not sure I can trust them to actually get it done and I sure as hell don't want them trying to reclaim their cores.

According to my Chinese friends this is WAD and please understand their culture. (I'll be a counter and say that I've still seen Ming completely disintegrate in at least 2 different games but when they don't blow up they're scary and probably should be toned down a little.)

Baron Porkface posted:Can anyone make sense of the graph on this page? http://www.eu4wiki.com/Alliance#Coalition It appears to be an empirical scatter plot of some person taking note of when nations would join or leave coalitions against them when said person was at different levels of AE. In other words, it's purely anecdotal. The main observation is that 30 - 40 AE is when coalitions start to really form. According to the caption, the graph is meant to show that nations are much less likely to leave coalitions in patch 1.8. Why this is on the wiki rather than in a poorly written forum post is beyond my understanding.

You're overachieving, but that's fine. Arabian Coffee as Mamluks is really easy, just smash your way to forming Arabia (only risky part is, of course, the provinces near the Ottoman border), smash your way to 50%+1 coffee production, and don't care about the long-term.

Kongo done! Boo Austria for being at 10-15% integration chance for 50 years and not integrating. I even made a road to you through the Ottomans.  ivan noooooooo wat r u doing I hit the achievement in 1750 and just sat on speed 5 and helped a giant Brazil escape Spain, crushed the Ottoman Revolution, and wished stupid Austria would integrate into Africa. I actually got giant France to give me 15% trade power. Oh and I was Emperor of the most dysfunctional HRE.

The cool thing about 1.12 is that Kongo has almost constantly been at war for sure, but you have an army trad of 12.

So Pope Power got a nice buff in the 1.13 beta. 50 Papal Influence buys you a +15% tax modifier for 20 years, or +15% manpower recovery or +1 legitimacy/diplorep/prestige yearly for 20 years. There's an inflation reduction one too. They're still not as good as 100 PI for 1 Stability, but they're a lot better than they were. I'm Catholic Spain and I can usually stay at 2-3 stability and keep 1-2 of those buffs up.

The coalition mapmode really sucks because people at -0 and people at -50 AE are almost the same color, until they actually join a coalition, then they light up. It should color nations yellow or something when they hit -30 AE.

I really hope they change the economic mapmode too, am I the only one that has a really hard time with it? It's just a splodge of near-random colours, I don't see why they didn't just go with a gradient or something. Could stand to be changed to development instead of just basetax too.

It's quite the difference from 1.12 which compared to Poland / Lith muscovy could basically only watch and beat up hordes. Check out the development on Ryazan's provinces. I grab them way earlier now than I used to.

You can vassalize the Livonians in one war so maybe no CB declare on the Teutons with them as cobelligerent, vassalize LO, give a bunch of TO to Poland and then vassalize next war? Take one TO province next to LO so you can get a CB Not sure if Poland will ally you since I've been restarting trying to figure out how to take all of Naples right at the start and survive
