420 Gank Mid posted:Can you post a screenshot of the in-progress battle screen while this is happening? Its possible your regiments are individually routing before the morale bar on the map updates if they are beat very quickly. Do they enter a shattered retreat or do they just go to a nearby province with still full morale? Can't get a screenshot as I didn't see this post until after that war where it was happening a lot was over and it hasn't happened since. I was getting shattered retreats but the morale bar was still where it was during the battle.

So, the reformation hit early, and the league wars have not yet begun. I managed to stamp out one center of the reformation, but one was all the way in Bohemia. They are too large to force convert (assuming I could even get an appropriate CB). Then I notice that Catholic zealots had spawned. I began to fund them and got a support rebel demand cb. After a tough fight against them, Bosnia and the Ottomans, I was able to enforce rebel demands. But when they agreed, they remained protestant and the center of reformation was still there. Should this have happened? Did the catholic zealots have some other goal than to force convert back to catholicism? Is there a way to check their demands first before I commit my money and men?

I'm cool with them forcing you to restart for MP so you don't ruin everyone else's experience, but for SP it's pretty annoying that they don't give you a choice. Sure I've crashed a lot less since the patch, but it was probably only a half-the-time sort of deal beforehand so this seems like a pretty extreme workaround. It's a little annoying, yeah.

Larry Parrish posted:It's just funny to me that Paradox games can have factors like whether or not its the first time the client connected to the server causing sync errors. How does that happen in a real-time game. Real time games are actually the easiest things to desync because it's not realistic for the server to constantly send out an updated gamestate so a single misstep somewhere easily leads to a giant mess.

Yashichi posted:If you take Malta there's an event with a 10 year MTTH that lets you release them in Malta. You have to be at peace, be independent, and not have your capital in Malta. It only fires once per country but if you haven't had it before you're fine. You're able to culture convert any province to any neighboring province's culture. So, as long as you get a line of province's to some Prussian land you can culture convert all the way up to livonian land and resurrect them.

In my Pope game, TO formed Prussia and there was no way for me to release them back as TO, which was sad because I had Triple the army of any other country by 1600 and second place was France who was my BFF.

Returned to the game after a long break and bought some new DLC. Trie Muscovy and was amazed at how the Polish-Lithuanian union happens within just a few years now. So, any tips on a Timurids run? I tried it ages ago and the country always disintegrated itself within 60 years.

It always used to form that early, it's just that it's now a global event with notifications for everyone, rather than a decision for Poland that got triggered quietly in the background. I'm not entirely sure why they changed it though; and in the process they made the odds of Poland not opting for the union way too high (at 25%). My only Timurids experience is super dated, way before the rebel revamp (in CS?), and all the new Horde stuff, but I found it highly satisfying to swap to Shia right off the bat for the +10% morale.

I hate it for the same reason that Castile sometimes doesn't take the union with Aragon: it makes no loving sense to take that option; certainly a human player never would. And especially when I'm playing in that part of the world, I like having a megablob to contend with. That said, Lithuania is pretty over developed at the start, and could use having her history files razed a bit.

Who else can you ally? They don't need to actually be useful against the Otto's, anyone medium-ish will do, just to make your alliance numbers bigger. That's what the AI seems to care about in its attacks. That and manpower.

Hungary is another nope, Bohemia is a nope, the only one is Sweden, who would let me help in their war for independence. Sweden + Muscovy + 17k of my troops might equal the Ottomans? I don't know if that would be enough to ward off an attack.

If they do declare war, ship your guys north immediately and either attach to Muscovy's army or just hide out in Moscow or one of the Baltic coast provinces while the Ottomans siege your stuff down. They'll throw a bunch of manpower into sieging you and your allies down while Muscovy draws on its manpower reserves and mercs. It'll probably slow Muscovy down a bit but that's probably good because you don't want them to expand too quickly. Plus worst case you'll probably just have to do something like release Circassia and give up that one province we're telling you to sell. You can lose a war or two and still turn out fine, especially if your goal is to eventually migrate to Germany or snake though Poland anyway. e: Plus a QQ of that size will probably jump at the Ottomans if they run low on manpower as well as possibly Poland and Lithuania. A stubborn player refusing to easily end a war can drag a much stronger AI down with them if they play their cards right.

Bonuses that are so terrible they have no reason to exist: -10% Recruitment Time (Expansion and Offensive ideas). WOW IM SURE GLAD MY ARMY UNITS FINISHED BUILDING SEVERAL DAYS FASTER -no one, ever. They bought mercs and didn't give a gently caress about a couple days difference. -10% Reduce Inflation Cost (Innovative). Okay so, reducing inflation costs 75 ADM, so this saves you 7.5 ADM points per every 2.00 inflation reduced. This breaks even in point cost after you have purchased 53 inflation reductions (or bought 106 points of inflation). Lol why?? +Garrison Growth. (various NIs, for example Austria) I have yet to see where this is actually useful. My captured or mothballed forts regenerate their garrisons slightly faster. Ok...? +% Available Mercs. (Admin, Plutocratic, Quantity ideas) It doesn't increase your force limits like before, and honestly you're an edge case if you're actually fielding close to your maximum number of mercs. Vaguely useful for rich nations in the mid-late game but does nothing for the 95% of nations who can't afford their normal merc cap.

Garrisons need to get to 100 because otherwise the siege is an auto win but since I think everyone gets there on the monthly tick anyway, yeah, garrison growth is useless.
