DurosKlav posted:Is there any way we can get some range limits on Automatic Rebel Suppression? Having 4 30k+ stacks running from NW India all the way down to Java to kill 2-3 2k rebel stacks that the other 2 30k+ armies I had stationed in Java could have easily dealt with is annoying. Especially as the rest of India has decided to pop up in rebellion because of over extension. You're the first person I've heard of who uses the Automatic rebel suppression feature in EU4, I don't know if they'll update that any time soon.

You've just triggered me. Playing custom game as India and I let Majapahit sit there because I was busy focusing on rolling over Aisa but every 6 drat months I'd get and then lose a Trade CB against them. This went on for about 70+ years until I got tired of seeing the drat popup every couple minutes and ate them in one go. That was the cause of the over extension rebellion whack a mole I had going on.

I think I found a bit of an error in the EG beta. Crete has No Religion. Although this is super neat, it's still, uh, a thing that I'm not quite sure you want??? Maybe it is.

Is having Res Republica and Wealth of Nations required to get the full experience from playing as a Republic? Over 300 hours in this game and I've never actually played one mainly because I had neither expansion and didnt think I would get the right experience from playing as one without them. I accidentally clicked the overthrow the government option and into a Republic. It doesnt matter for this game as its 1800.

This might be a dumb question, but for the Elective Monarchy option, do you have to have a special kind of vassal to have "elections" for who will rule? Or will regular vassals work? I'm setting up something involving it in a Random New World, where it's basically this small continent populated by Norse dudes that more kinda hew to local "state" leaders more than a government and I wanted to know if that would model it well enough or not.

I thought the rule for the religion of a vassal you release is, of their total number of cores (not just the cores you will be releasing), if over 50% of of a religion, the nation will be that religion? In my example below, Iraq has 5 Coptic provinces; its 4 other cultural cores are Sinjar, As-Sahiliyah, Basra, and Kuhzestan, which are all Sunni. Why is Iraq being released as a Sunni nation?

Depending on what your goal is with that Iraq and how dominant you are in the region, you could just cut north to Armenia at this point and then sell them the provinces down to Basra? I think?

So I am not sure if I should consider this an AI bug or just what but I lost a third long term alliance in this game, because the idiotic AI pirated in my trade nodes and got a huge -100 modifier for it. First France then Russia and now Great Britain. All of them are without major other ally now. It does make me wonder if the AI put the possible loss of the alliance into the equation or not. Are those couple ducats/month really worth losing your biggest and strongest ally for?

Just took most of Greece and Thrace, along with the provinces surrounding Constantinople, from the Ottomans as Byzantium, around 1460  I've got a strong alliance now with Poland-Lithuania, Serbia, and Bosnia. Three of the provinces I took weren't cores yet, so once that's done I'll see about filling up my manpower reserves, then see if I can get my alliance to help me fight another war with the Ottomans. If not then I'll wait for Venice to show weakness and then try to seize their island holdings in the Aegean. I'm thinking that before I get big enough for Poland/Lithuania/the Commonwealth to start worrying about me, I'll try to vassalise Bosnia and Serbia, they may make for a good march, especially if I can feed them some of Hungary. Then when Poland-Lithuania breaks their alliance with me I'll try to see about allying Muscovy/Russia.

Any good advice for getting Je Maintiendrai (form Netherlands as a Dutch minor)? Originally I thought that Friesland would be a good start because it's a republic, but it made the diplomacy game too hard. Now I think that Holland might actually be the best choice despite being in a PU. I can get France, Austria, and Denmark to support my independence right off the bat, and England as well with a little buttering. Although I kind of want to wait for Philippe to die and leach off his awesome stats.

Getting it with Holland is really easy, for exactly the reasons you mention. You just need to be careful about France taking any of the lowlands provinces. But basically, get your independence supported by France (and anyone other big guys you can find) and then smash Burgundy.

Not, say, your patrols fuckin up their pirates? That is really weird and annoying. It may also be handy for breaking alliances as the player, I guess.

Cool, I broke free from Burgundy and managed to snag Antwerpen in the deal. Had to give Bourgogne to France and Franche-Compte to Austria to keep them happy, and I also made the mistake of getting a royal marriage with England only to have them break the alliance immediately. Really should have seen that coming. Now I'm working on eating up the other Dutch minors. While we're on the subject of the diplomacy game, why is there no easy way to see aggressive expansion? Like, some way to see what your base AE is and how it applies to other nations. Instead I have to mouse around in the map mode to figure anything out. This is something I've wanted since pretty much day 1.

Every time you "accrue AE", this just applies an opinion malus to other countries but does not change your state at all. If a new country popped into existence it would have 0 AE penalty with you because it wasn't there when you accrued AE.

The AE mapmode is probably the worst mapmode given how important it is and how hard it is to get any useful information out of it without mousing around all over the place. The different shades are almost impossible to tell apart when comparing nations that you have an AE penalty with but who haven't joined a coalition yet. I don't know why it isn't a green --> yellow --> orange --> red for coalition thing, that would be way easier than very tiny variations on grayish-pink.

I'm not sure what idea to take next as Ethiopia: I have Religious, Exploration, Econ, Defensive, and Quality (which is so OP with Religious and Econ) all filled out. I was planning on going Offensive next, but my Military is pretty nuts as is and Admin points have been holding me back, so I was thinking of going for Admin instead because of the Coring discount, the merc discounts, and, well, the Production bonus and Admin tech discount. Iraq and Baluchistan are my vassals; I just fed them a bunch of Persia. I am allied to Austria, Commonwealth, and Westernized Jaunpur. I havent had time/admin points to beat up Songhai. I finally managed to get Pasai to not be allied to the Ottomans so now I am crazy rich from Zanzibar, though I think I need to move my trade capital there because Portugal is siphoning off tons of trade (despite me owning all of The Cape) because of the huge penalty.

For trade you might want to consider holding off from major actions for now, it might be more worth it to move your trade node to Constantinople when you get access to that and start pulling trade up uP UP.
