Yemen-Adal in the horn of africa, the strait of Hormuz, the one in Indonesia, the one on the south tip of India (though that's technically a vassal and its lord), and the one north of Japan.

New dev diary, details on naval manpower changes. I don't know if this is what it's going to take to make naval games more fun but here's hoping.quote:Hello everyone, and welcome to another Europa Universalis development diary. We are now working fully towards 1.16 and our next big expansion. While I’ve always been the lead designer for EU4, I’m now the project lead for this expansion, as Wiz has moved to another project.

Bort Bortles posted:edit2: Should I take Defender of the Faith? I think I'm the only Coptic country other than Funj... If you're not feeling an intense pressure for monarch points I guess go for it. It feels a bit like you went into Egypt a bit early but if you rival the Ottomans you should be able to get alliances with their European rivals. For ideas, either a military group or economic. You will probably still be getting high amounts of inflation but it should prevent it from becoming stupid. Expansion, you really don't need to be spending money on another settler, and trade is good to pull really good money from India, but that might be more difficult without a monopoly over Aden.

I will be moving on from my position as EU4 project lead (but staying at PDS). I posted a thread about it on the EU4 forums if you're interested in the details.

I've been trying to get an Ironman Muscovy game going for days, with no luck. Poland always rivals you, and with the religious shitstorm going on during the Reformation, none of your allies will be able to do much when they start coming for you. The one time i managed to ally the Ottomans and put up a fight, my allies spent all their time besieging useless coastal forts while their endless 30-stacks just chased my army and destroyed it. Are there any sound strategies to get a Russia run going?

Poland always rivals you, and with the religious shitstorm going on during the Reformation, none of your allies will be able to do much when they start coming for you. I assume you're devouring Novgorod right off the bat? That's a no brainer. You'll want to take Religious ideas first, at least up to the 4th idea for +Missionary Strength. Always be taking Horde lands, and once you have Religious ideas complete and your third national idea, you should start culture converting that land to Russian. Pick up Defender of the Faith once the Ottomans have finished steamrolling the Orthodox countries around them, the +5% morale, +1 missionary and -0.03 War Exhaustion are huge. Beating Poland shouldn't be all that difficult; you have the forcelimits and potential income to build comparable armies to them. What works well generally is to sit back playing defensively for a few years, and letting them sit around sieging your forts and taking attrition (at a high rate, because you took Defensive ideas, right?). Engage selectively so that they either have to abandon their siege, or fight with only a portion of their army. Always make sure you let your infantry rest up and replenish after a fight as well, having those regiments at full strength makes a huge difference. If all else fails, just wait around for Lithuania to collapse, because it almost always does. If Poland forms the Commonwealth, they actually get significantly weaker too. Allies are nice, but you don't really need them. RabidWeasel posted:Nobody is going to comment that EU4 will now have ~**~ BARBARY PIRATES ~**~ ? Clearly the anti-Ubik conspiracy is strong! I was gonna say, Barbary Pirates are something I'm very surprised to see. They were probably the worst part of MM, hopefully Paradox does a better job, because the Berber States definitely need it.

Perm is a really annoying start. I've devoured both Muscovy and Novgorod and yet no one powerful wants to ally me. I am constantly afraid of Lithuania, Sweden or Uzbek.

It's probably possible. I mean, the map is a fully 3D object, just a flat one. They'd have to totally change how the map is loaded though. Isn't it defined by some square 2D images now? Sindai fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Feb 4, 2016 |
