And yes, I know that I can set them to liked in the new diplomacy system, but that doesn't help when they have a -180 too much imperial territory modifier. This is my number one hated feature of EUIV. I hate it so, so, SO much. The players counties opinion of other countries should always be 100% under the players control. That part of the diplomatic system should simply be switched off for player countries. Anything else is unintuitive, awkward, stupid BULLSHIT.

With the ability to set your diplomacy as friendly/neutral/hostile/threatened etc. there's no need for the player's opinion. I suspect that removing it would gently caress with multiplayer in some way, though.

I'm Persia trying to convert to Zoroastrianism, I'm not really sure how to do it though, the religious rebels don't seem to be able to convert provinces so they never advance towards winning (unless it's an event that fires after they've been occupied for awhile?)

It opens up the freedom to decide who you want to cooperate with, regardless of dumb negative opinion modifiers, and encourages players to be more dynamic by working together with longtime enemies, as opposed to Victory Cards, which were made to encourage players to be more dynamic by invading longtime friends for points.

Thanqol posted:You know what's bullshit? Building up 90 trust with Austria, making your alliance with them the centrepiece of your foreign policy, and then having your alliance broken with them because they took too much unlawful imperial territory. The opinion is from your people/advisors/interested parties, not you, yourself. That said, there should be some kind of mechanic where you can ally with an unpopular country but then get events that lower prestige and legitimacy, and maybe increases unrest.

TITY BOI posted:So i did this achievement pretty recently, it was a lot of fun. If it's possible to ally Poland, do so. Go over the relations cap if necessary. Basically you want to build up a crusade of varna 2.0 and drive the otto man out of europe at all costs. If you can get them on the backfoot, you basically have an avenue for AE-"free" expansion to the east. Once you have the entirety of the Balkans and Anatolia under your jackboot before 1650 or so then the rest of the achievement is fairly easy. Thanks for the advice! I think my long-term plan is to use Austria and Poland to beat the ottomans back to Anatolia and then turn on Austria when the league war starts. Speaking of the league war...guess who just became emperor? Yep, Albania is now the emperor on the eve of the 30 years war. I'm Catholic obviously and the Protestant league is made up of Bohemia, the ottomans, France, England and a bunch of German minors. France has proceeded to gobble up most of northern Iberia so I need to go to war with them soon, and having all the allies I do now should make it somewhat doable. So my question is, how do you trigger the league war as emperor? Also will I be able to actually take any territory from France or the ottomans? I've also got another game going that's trying for first come first serve (own all of the Americas starting as a custom nation in the Americas) and ideas guy (have an income of 500 after starting as an OPM with 3 development) due to the current national ideas bug. It's about 1500 and I've got all techs at 20 due to the bug and have 4 idea slots filled, have conquered all of the Mexican natives, colonized central america and have made my way down into Brazil. I also am Norse as I'm going for For Odin too, but I still think I'm going to run into trouble when the west shows up. Since monarch points aren't a problem for me, what's the best thing to spend them on that isn't tech? I've been recruiting a lot of generals and developing provinces.

Is demand unlawful territory bugged? I can sort of get my own allies getting the -1000 modifier for strength of alliance because AI emperors won't demand territory from you if you are allied, but it also seems to affect allies of allies? Burgundy also has the -1000 alliance strength modifier despite only being allied to Cologne(who I am allied with), meanwhile I'm allied with France and Austria(and 6 other people) and a pretty heavy hitter myself.

What's the bug? Development. You need to be running as many colonies as you can afford to run, and increasing development increases that number. When I was doing First Come First Serve I had 12 colonies going simultaneously at the peak and that cost a ton.

TTBF posted:What's the bug? If your national idea reduces cost of something (coring, tech, ideas, etc) and you build and cancel troops it'll stack the modifier multiple times. Which is how I'm about 200 years ahead in tech. You can abuse it to make all tech 30 monarch points. Same thing with ideas, coring,development cost, etc I'd post a screenshot but I'm traveling for work. Rest assured it is hilarious to see all of central america and half of South America the same color in about 1500. I named my country "outer heaven" as a nod to metal gear solid too, as I started in Costa Rica  I think Spain is gonna poo poo it's pants when it sees a massive country in the Americas thats western and makes around 80 gold a month.

I'm doing my own For Odin/First Come First Serve/Humble Beginnings run, and I noticed that I sometimes had multiple -10% coring cost modifiers, but they'd mostly disappear once I started on one province. Are you saying there's a way to keep those modifiers?

So you want to spam build/cancel then buy your tech, ideas, cores while paused. I have a really good Dracula's Revenge run I'm gonna post about in a bit.

You may need to build/cancel a few dozen times to get enough modifiers. I assume this is going to be fixed as early as tomorrow so if you want an easier time with some of the custom nation achievements now is your time to shine.

So, if I have 100 trust and 100 favors with Great Britain and I take a province in India (which they've marked the entirety of as 'vital interest'), what happens? Do they immediately hate me and things break down?

From the latest patch notes: quote:- AI will no longer rival countries with 80+ trust under any circumstances, and less likely to rival countries with high (but still below 80) trust. Generally if an ally takes a Vital Interest province, they just unmark it, because they generally only wanted it because their rival had it. But if they have a mission to take it, I'd say there's good odds they'll drop your alliance and turn hostile.

Yeah with 100 trust, I console gave myself one of Castile's cores and they instantly removed it from their list of desired provinces, kept the alliance, and relations are still above 190. It should be fine. e: Also can I just point out that the sea regions of North East Pacific and North West Pacific are the wrong way round?  East (around Kamchatka) is west of West (around California)

That'd be the difference between regarding the Pacific as a whole vs considering the hemispheres, right? As it is I think that's correct..sure it's to the west, but so far west that it's now the east E: unless there are nearby South west/east pacific zones that totally go against this in which case ignore me.

Right now there is a hilarious bug involving custom nations and their ideas duplicating whenever you cancel a build order (as well as a few other actions.) The key thing is there is no limit to the number of times the ideas will be duplicated. Cancel 5 infantry? Get 5x most of your ideas. Toggle a fort 20 times? Get 20x your national ideas. Unfortunately, the extra ideas only last until the month ticks over (more or less, upgrading technology or taking a new idea/group will reset the bonuses). Still, it leads to crazy things like 800% Infantry combat ability, cores that complete in -20 months or always rolling 6s on generals. Not pictured: a fully colonized Navarran Caribbean.
