I think this has since been fixed, but it used to be that diplomats increased relations once when they arrived, and then another time at the start of every month. So by juggling them actively you could get more relations faster

Haven't played single player in a while but decided to try to go for the Trebizond achievement. It was going well but QQ attacked me and Muscovy and my vassal Crimea are just sitting there refusing to help. I have military access with Lithuania and Genoa so it's not that. Tried everything I could think of to get Crimea attached and don't know where I'd start with Muscovy. I know the AI used to lock up but I restarted it a few times and still nothing. I have a feeling that if I had taken a direct border with Muscovy through the Golden Horde they wouldn't be doing nothing? Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to wake them up? It would be pretty frustrating to have to start over because of allied AI since this is the best run I've had out of probably ~30 restarts.

If Golden Horde has no dangerous allies, you could DoW them and get military access for Muscovy that way. Figured that might be it?

Yeah I have a 8 year truce with them and my AE is on the verge of getting me coalitioned but I'll probably have to break it. Thanks for the tips. Ignoring Muscovy though, even if my non rebellious vassal Crimea would attach to me I could have a chance at winning without Muscovy. Any ideas there? I put them on supportive and aggressive and moved armies of all sizes on top of them with set to attach checked but they don't move.

I just westernized as Bengal and naturally Spain instantly rivaled me and they're the only country in the world I can rival, is there a point to it? It'd only make them hate me instead of merely strongly dislike me and give me an amazing 5 rival points and I'm not ever even going to reach 25pp with one rival.Deport The Irish posted:The Spanish Empire grew so quickly out of so much good timing that it's nearly if not actually impossible to model with EU4's mechanics. By the way, do coalition wars have a strong preference to returning cores and releasing nations? It feels like there should be, also at a discount since the CB is supposed to counter blobs, right?

Poil posted:By the way, do coalition wars have a strong preference to returning cores and releasing nations? It feels like there should be, also at a discount since the CB is supposed to counter blobs, right? Based on my personal experience, this depends entirely on the coalition leader. If your lovely local-power rival kicks things off, he wants those three garbars 1/1/1 border provinces and will happily send everyone home, deciding you've been properly punished. More distant parties or countries who otherwise aren't interested in your area of the world will demand releases and returns. Poil posted:Be glad it's impossible, in the game they would be 100% stable and never lose anything unless they got into massive coalition wars plus the Ottoman and everyone took some land in the peace treaties. F'real. I was more commenting that actual factual satisfactual Spain managed to play its cards so well Power Fantasy Imperialism Simulator 2015 is like "no, that breaks the very fabric of reality." The same Power Fantasy Imperialism Simulator 2015 that makes it possible for Byzantium to turn the tides on Ottomans in the 1440s.

Brittany has a colony in South America. It has +35 settlers from technology, -20 from treaty of tortillas, -30 quarantine for a total of -15 growth but it's still growing quickly. Is the AI cheating with the colonist percentage? It's growing like crazy.

The quarantine is only a temporary event too, so most of the time they'll be at +15 even without the colonist.

Stacking production efficiency is a great way to grow colonies quickly, because every 10% PE translates to 1% better settler chances. That includes PE from advisers, events, and the +20% you get from being ahead of time in admin tech.

As soon as you westernize, you become an excellent rival candidate for everyone in Europe based on your relatively large development level and tech group. I play in SEA a lot so I've kind of picked up on the technique of raising most big euro countries to 100 relations by the time westernization completes. Otherwise you end up with like 5 European great powers rivaling you right off the bat. Rivaling Spain won't do much but it might help you make friends with Spain's rivals. And Spain is never going to like you or unrival you.

You can probably privateer Sevilla for a lot of PP and cash, and it will provide you with minor benefits if you war with them. Which, in my experience, is an inevitability as a non-European. They will have something you want eventually.

Well my Knights game marches on and the entire Catholic world hates my guts aside from freaking Burgundy. I've pissed off the Pope because when I started colonizing Central America and the Caribbean as my new home continent the freaking Treaty of Varsielles sectioned off all of my possible colonial points for the other European colonizers even though I was there first. So now I'm taking a hit to all of my colonial efforts because of situations like France having one colony in Colombia and claiming the rest even though they haven't picked up another colonial province in forever. I became the curia controller but the Papal State is actualy allied with every target that I want to Excommunicate. I originally planned on heading back and taking the Ottomans apart in the mid 1600's (they are very strong now, not a single European power has attempted an offensive war against the Ottomans since the beginning of the game and no one else is in any position to stop them) , but now I also want to cut the Pope down to size for bungling up my plans.

So I might need some help since some of the older tricks I know don't seem to work. I want to do a quick Gothic run and spread that glorious Theodoro colour all over Germany. My current plan was to day zero non-CB DoW East Frisia and move evacuate the rather dangerous Crimean peninsula. This doesn't work because of coring ranges, AE, and lovely Genoa being a oval office. Anyone have a good idea how I could move my capital into the HRE and culture swap into the Germanic group as Theodoro? vvvvv All the land needed for the achievement is gonna be Germanic culture group, so might as well switch and profit early. I did try the Ragusa way to join the HRE (in fact my current best game is there, I control Crimea, Constantinople, Ragus and partially Venice trade nodes now). It just seems slow and starting in East Frisia seems quicker. Tahirovic fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Nov 23, 2015 |

I have ~650 hours on this game and this is the first time I'm actually completing a campaign. My goal is to own all of Italy, Iberia and the French region by the end. Leon is my vassal and I'm integrating them, so all that really remains is to kick England off continental Europe. I also dismantled the HRE just for the achievement. In some ways Austira being in a PU under Russia has been helpful, because the 200 AE I've racked up with them don't matter at all and nobody else is strong enough to dare form a coalition.
