Is there any guides on the new fort system? I still dont understand any of it except that it takes a lot longer the conquer provinces with the fort icon on it.

Elias_Maluco posted:Is there any guides on the new fort system? - Forts are now expensive, too expensive to build in every province. But they have an area of influence extending to all adjacent provinces, automatically recapturing adjacent provinces if they are occupied by an enemy army. Unfortified provinces take only a month to capture (but will be quickly flipped back if they're by a fortress.) - A fort's area of influence also prevents enemy troops from walking past the fortress without first capturing it. The ZoC rules are a little abstruse but this means you can actually fortify borders, making wars take longer (no more marching right to the capital) and giving defeated troops a chance at falling back safely. - You now need 3 times the number of garrison troops to siege a fortress. The siege system is otherwise similar to before Common Sense, I think. - Forts can be mothballed. This turns them off and depletes the garrison entirely, and cost only half maintainance. But if you do pay full maintenance for current-tech forts you'll get a little bonus to army tradition. - Capitals get a free mini-fort with no area of influence and 1000 mans. I think that's most of it? It makes sense during play for the most part.

Yeah it's a good system just gets a little confusing in complex movement situations and often surprises me and screws me over on any sort of naval landing. Sometimes you can get IN to provinces but you can't get OUT.

You can no longer assault forts that don't have the "walls breached" modifier, and that modifier has three different stages to it. Also maybe I'm insane but it's far more punishing to be blockading a coastal fort, but that might just be an extension of forts being much more difficult to take rather than an explicit change.

How do you circumnavigate the globe? You can't control the fleet that does it, so you can't purchase fleeting basing rights ahead of time and assume your fleet uses those. I assumed that circumnavigating the globe first meant exploring enough waters, getting diplo tech 22/23 before anyone else, and hitting the button. Obviously I was wrong.

If you're playing a colonizing nation who has quality for whatever reason (i.e., misclicking and then deciding to roll with it) the ideas giving additional ship durability and reduced naval attrition towards the end help a lot. That plus a 5 manuever explorer I rolled got me the achievement by the time I hit tech 15 as Portugal.

They won't repair, but they won't take attrition near them either. If you have a colony in south africa and some more in the Moluccas you're most of the way there. Then you just need to get around cape horn.

No but having colonies and fleet access decreases damage taken on the voyage due to the increased supply range.

Maxed out maritime real answer: you can't control the fleet, but you can merge ships into it. just have a few ships somewhere late in the circumnavigation ready to merge; the original ships will probably all die, but the ones you added later will make it to the end. It's not strictly necessary to do this; with colonies in the Cape and Malaccas and Patagonia the attrition will get reset at each stop and you'll probably make it fine, but it does make it a lot easier. also make sure to have explored the entire way beforehand, travelling through TI takes forever.

One issue with the new fort system is that any rebels popping up will basically automatically give you that negative event for them capturing a province (ie: separatism) since it only takes a couple of days for them to capture a non-fort province and it's much more likely for them to spawn on a non-fort province just due to probability unless you're spamming forts.

This only happens if the province isn't near a fort at all. Provinces within the zone of control of a fort get sieged but don't suffer those effects.

It'd be nice to have an easily accessible summary of a nation's manpower, army size, forcelimits, navy breakdown and maybe their income from the normal diplomacy window, as a page over kind of thing. It's not hard to use the ledger, but it's annoying if you want to quickly assess the strength of an alliance of nations with different first letters in their names. It lags like rear end on speed 5 ironman too.

Dammit, how does my ironman save keep getting de-ironmaned? Had a good Ottoman start where I had converted to Orthodox, good progress in conquest and neutered Malmuks and QQ. Guess I get to try that again.

Kinda random I guess. They're both catholic and were allied before, but Lithuania is best buds with Austria and Poland with me, so I can see how that worked out. I sniped away Memel from under them after I got rid of the Hansa, but Russia turned out to be a paper tiger (pretender rebels errwhere and Sweden running a train on them) and France kinda collapsed while I was tidying up in the East. Now I'm lurking near occupied Vienna with half my manpower left and at 92/107 for a League victory, hoping that somehow everything falls apart for the remaining 120k enemy doomstack. Maybe I ought to knock out Hungary but every one of my Allies is at zero MP and sub 10k armies since it's been a murderous seven years

I'd suggest getting it because you'll at least be able to throw diplo on your gold mines (don't push it above ten), and my understanding of natives is that they're better off waiting to neighbour a western tech nation and get free tech levels that way than by actually teching. Not sure what other features are pay only. You're right in that dev largely benefits Europeans though.

Uuuuuuugh, my useless dipshit allies have cost me a massive coalition war against France and Scandinavia because they can't stop losing and Russia won't peace out. This is why I'm usually a massive isolationist gently caress, and also probably my biggest 'gently caress ironman' moment. I could have relaxed at home, wiping out their navies and landing forces as they came and reaped the benefits of ticking warscore but no, I'm -30 from battles that won't go away when my 'allies' finally give up. As long as I don't have to give up holdings on the british isles before I get my achievement it's still a win.

This might have just been luck on my part, but is abolishing the Sejm as the Commonwealth supposed to be a wet fart? I triggered the event, fought the 60-ish stack on my capital, then hunkered down and waited for the next rebels. Two years later I got a pop-up telling me the revolts were done without seeing a single further rebel. Not that I'm complaining but I was expecting something more along the lines of an actual disaster.

Getting call for peace and racking up war exhaustion for a war I'm not even in charge of is so frustrating. It would be nice if they disabled call for peace in that circumstance, or at least gave a "prolonged conflict" modifier that increased trust for sticking it out or something to make it worth it.

I've finally admitted to myself that I only like playing large powers because I hate having AI allies. I loved it when they added all the new vassal stuff like suggesting they attach, and then Enable Scutage gave me a huge erection because I can feed a vassal and then just sit there and tell them to feed me cash and be a buffer zone.

Indeed, a lot of the disasters got pretty toned down. Time of Troubles is also a walk in the park now; I got tired of Rurikids, so I just sat at -1 stability waiting for it to start. Then all I had to do was wait, as my monarch got replaced with sequentially better rulers. Boris Gudonov is like a 6/4/6 or something crazy. But ultimately I just opted for Alex Romanov.
