Pellisworth posted:Also an estimate of the size of the rebel stack that might spawn, that would be great. Yeah it's weird when a 5 development OPM revolts with a 40-stack and your forcelimit is only 35 or whatever but a comparatively huge 80 development country revolts and they get 7k troops and spawn on a fort so it doesn't even raise separatism.

PittTheElder posted:Admin is great, because with a -50% core cost discount you can core most provinces for the same amount of admin they give you when you raze them. Diplomatic ideas are actually excellent, since they make vassal feeding more viable in general. And then means you get to take provinces, raze them, and then have someone else core them for you. Economic is wonderful for the autonomy reduction. So is vassal feeding still the preferential treatment with hordes and razing? Never played hordes before this dlc Wouldn't you lose a ton of prestige by taking a prov, razing it, then (I presume) selling it to a vassal?

You can just straight up give your subjects provinces now via the subject interaction menu, which even lowers their liberty desire based on how good the province is.

PittTheElder posted:The really easy thing that we desperately need is to have the ledger list of rebels sort itself by revolt progress. It'd also be nice to sort them by the estimated time they're going to rise up so you can see where your armies need to be easier than having to hover over each one and look for the lowest number if one isn't close to 100%.

EwokEntourage posted:So is vassal feeding still the preferential treatment with hordes and razing? Never played hordes before this dlc Also hordes don't pay the prestige penalty for returning provinces. Vassal feeding isn't really needed for Hordes, but once you get admin efficiency and the -20 prov cost from diplomatic ideas going, you'll find you can take way more than 100WS in peace deals. That's what the vassals are for.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Yea, knew about not getting the penalty for return provs. So I guess you could take some provs, vassal the rest, raze, then return to the vassal? Hordes add a lot of new gameplay to the combat. I like it. Also, despite playing this game a poo poo ton, I basically have no clue what I am doing half the time.

Going for a Kirishitan Japan run, stuck at the Kirishitan part. I let religious rebels revolt, and they converted a lot of provinces. They did not convert the nation however. So I looked it up on the wiki and the wiki says I'd need a plurality of provinces to be Catholic before rebels can make me convert. Since it was a dead tie between Shinto and Catholicism, I let it have another chance. The rebels came up, enforced their demands and...I'm not Catholic. I'm Shinto with 42% religious unity and I'm not sure how to convert to Catholicism. e: Third time was the charm. TTBF fucked around with this message at 10:44 on Dec 24, 2015 |

Agitate for Liberty is the single most annoying thing they've ever put into this game. For 200 years a completely unknown country has been making my colonies and France revolt every 20 loving years and there's literally nothing I can do about it. I've wasted over 3000 dip trying to integrate France only for their liberty desire to go to 50 for the briefest moment when I'm almost done and then BAM they ally all my colonial nations and declare independence.

Welp, the game is suddenly horrendously laggy by often freezing for a few seconds. It's pretty much unplayable now and happened without warning.     Custom nations are a lot of fun. I haven't really been focusing hard on conquest and have spent most of the game too horrendously starved for admin points to do much anyway. No, I have no idea what Sweden is doing in Siberia.

Oof. Finally bought the Cossacks. Any suggestions which country to pick with the new stuff? I have been meaning to take a horde and go Qing, but don't know how hard/time-consuming it is - got myself a gigantic backlog of games including Elite and The Witcher, so I want a save to pad between long sessions of those games

I had the best start to an Oman/Ibadi attempt. Crap ruler dies within the first month and gives me a 15 year old 4/5/5 on the throne, and Najd and Yemen don't bother allying anyone worthwhile. Then...  I've never seen the Ottomans do so well in 1630. They just got done stomping the entire HRE + Castile to grab the rest of Austrian Hungary. They don't even care about me, just happily eating Russia and Europe without my help. To the east a Yarkand/Pasai/Bengal alliance is beating up Ming and making more dirty Sunni land.

Was there a recent change with Cossacks or otherwise to how river crossings work? I thought if the attacking army had a leader with higher Maneuver, no -1 penalty to rolls from crossing rivers. However, I'm cruising around with a 3 Maneuver general and he is consistently getting the river penalty against the enemy 0 Maneuver general and armies without generals at all.

I haven't noticed a problem with river crossings but doing a sortie from a siege and adding an army to it seems to give you the attacker terrain penalty now.

Yeah that's the problem, I had more than 20 provinces and that decision was gone, so I was wondering if I could cheese it via one of the other two Republic decisions. Anyone know if you're allowed to form Russia for Frozen Assets? (it says "start as Novogrod" but I don't want to mess up this awesome run)

Has anyone done a Kazan WC yet? I can't tell if I'm too far behind or doing alright. About ready to burn the rest of India to the ground and I've cut the Ottomans in half so that any of their Asian/African land is distant overseas for them. Finished admin, influence and humanist and about to hit 14 to unlock diplomatic.

Can someone who understands combat mechanics better than me explain the following series of events 1) defeat enemy army 2) enemy army retreats one province over 3) with me in hot pursuit 4) instead of getting stackwiped, they are able to trade favorably before their one tick of morale is used up 5) goto 1 A lot of my infantry died in the initial engagement, i'm guessing it's something to do with that. i am somewhat bootybothered because this caused me to lose a very winnable war

Huh. It looks as though the "would cause so-and-so's annexation or vassalization" modifier on peace deals triggers whenever you try to take as many provinces as the defender has, even if you're actually taking those provinces from their colonial nation. Nice...
