I've been meaning to do a Hamburg => Hannover => Germany game for a while, especially now that Hamburg starts out independent, but every time I get demoralised after I get bogged down with poo poo alliances in the first decade. Also having to wait until tech level 20 for Germany makes me  even though I understand why it was done.

Here is my suggestion, when part of the map is revealed and it says "such and such an area has been revealed to us", the go-to option should take you to the revealed part, not to your capital.

Has anyone actually gotten the Electable achievement without inheriting an elector or buttering up the Emperor as an OPM? I'm playing a Hesse game, and despite dozens of games in the HRE I've never been given an electorate. I'd quite like to have one so I can form Westphalia. Though I guess I just converted to Protestantism, so I won't be getting anything until after the war I guess.

 what do i do now also wtf button did i hit that displays that sidebar i love it kinda. My Idea 1 was Quantity and I've been speeding throiugh that poo poo first chance i got every time just for the -10% land maintenance. My next I'd like to do is Trade since im at 67%~ power in Constantinople and Aleppo each which seems good I think idk really. I'm making around 27~ ducats a month. I just saw how much money I actually have I should shelve my whole army and just wage a few big wars with mercs i think. Something happened after I did the "Levant" mission I couldn't take all the cores it told me I needed in one go so i took what you see and am fabricating on a few of the ones I need to finish so I can complete that mission. I'm not really looking on becoming the normal Ottomans idk what that is this is the farthest I've played in 111 hours so yeah but I am looking for some fun. Would taking over Africa be a silly thing? I've never colonised before so I';m not sure how that'd affect my "Huge Army Don't gently caress With Me" shtick I have going on for general safety oh yeah i took wallachia like the first chance i got and man those 400~ admin points on coring loving hurt but i had to commit i just had too e: some more stuff. I'm behind by one level on mil tech. Muscovy got 7 first and I'm about 1/2 there from 6. Should I be worried? Not so much about them but their neighbors gaining increased research speed. Also why is the diplo techs all naval stuff. Not ideas just general tech. I upgrade and it makes ships costs more to maintain >:c that is silly. Is having a powerful navy needed as the Ottomans? I have about 30 odd fighting ships all protecting trade, yeah i know only light ships increase profit but I like having them all together since when I start a war I always forget to check where enemy ships are/will be so they get jumped a lot. think thats it cool thats my post part 2: return of the post edit 3 Trilogy Edit: i am about to take Bosnia and Serbia right now all in one go so maybe let me know if that is bad/ good and not as in i'm just waiting to submit my sue for peace i mean i can easy take them i just dont know if it is bad or good to do it all at once verbal enema fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Feb 18, 2016 |

You should have or will soon have multi-stage missions to conquer the Arab peninsula, Egypt, and North Africa. Do those, and imo take trade ideas. Access to the Indian ocean combined with total control of Alexandria and Constantinople will let you rake in loads of money. Expand into Persia (which is fairly easy, since you can Balkanise it into lots of small states like Taberastan and Baluchistan) and you'll be able to dominate a bloc of like five different trade regions. Re: Bosnia and Serbia I'd say that's good, if only because it will provide a good defensive border against Austria-Hungary.

Kinda, but the Ottomans are a sort of exception. You should be big and rich enough to just build a ton of galleys (which get a 100% damage bonus in inland seas, like the mediterranean and black seas) over your force limit because galleys are like 0.1/month in maintenance.

Most, if not all of your trade ships in the Mediterranean should be protecting trade in Alexandria (once you've conquered Egypt) and steering that trade to Istanbul. You'll need a lot, because Spain and Venice and France will all be trying to steer it over to Venice and Genoa. Your other merchant(s) should be either in Samarkand or the Indian Ocean making sure as much of the trade over there as possible ends up going in the direction of Alexandria/Istanbul and not getting siphoned away by Russia or Britain, respectively.

If you don't strangle Russia in the cradle you're already doing it wrong as the Ottomans. Its actually easier than you think, I did a Sultan of Rum run and it only took a two wars to take Moscow. After that you can make a vassal out of either Novgorod of Muscovy and have them expand east for you.

I'm going to try to do that next time but allying them was something of a necessity because for a long time there was a Poland-Lithuania-Bohemia PU allied to Austria. Without their alliance there was just no loving way.

I can't wait, but I don't see what makes Zanzibar an important trade node. There is only one outgoing trade route and it's heading the usual south and west around the Cape. The internal routes all go through the Ivory Coast just with a detour or not anyway. If the route between Zanzibar and Gulf of Aden was reversed I could see it being important, but as it stands there is no noticeable difference from before.

Zanzibar can already pull eastern trade which can make it incredibly lucrative. Now it has three more trade nodes it cal pull trade from (Great Lakes goes into Zanzibar, Kongo goes into Zambezi and Zambezi goes into Zanzibar).

I'd like to see ships/high trade tech get a bigger trade multiplier against technologically inferior nations, so I don't feel so compelled to conquer the whole coast. Or maybe let me ship trade directly from India/Indonesia to the Cape?

It being more heavily tied to tech would make keeping up on diplo tech slightly more important too.Tahirovic posted:I really don't get why you want everything so railroaded. If Portugal wants to spend all that admin coring this, so be it. Because Africa isn't the same as something like Portuguese Mexico where, if things turned out differently, they could have gone there- the tropical African diseases meant Europeans were literally unable to colonize the place until advances in medicine in the 19th century.

I like the idea of conquests of Africa being harder as long as it comes with stuff to still let the Portugals funnel trade from the east. The ocean expansion seems like the perfect time to overhaul trade companies in a way to remove some of the weird stuff like protectorates not being that great because noones going to ask for one and by the time you conquer a backwards tech you can probably just take the trade provinces, admin points not withstanding. Maybe something with some sort of influence from trading in the node lets you lock down trade agreements without a perfect diplo storm, or a trade post meta map that lets you set up shop in important trade provinces without conquering or the like.
