Did you edit the files to make AI border forts not free? Because that can break the AI.

Beats me then. They must have been in pretty dire financial straits at some point and demolished a bunch.

Bort Bortles posted:Its Ironman. Technically you can do Ironman with mods now (but no cheevos). e; For the actual thing, it might be that the AI doesn't take into account the forts being free when it assesses its finances and decides whether to keep or tear them down. It sounds like it should be like that in any case, that is a criminally low amount of forts for P-L.

Do border forts stay free when they're not on the border? Most of the borders of that Commonwealth are a province or two past Poland or Lithuania (or Moldavia or Mazovia)'s 1444 borders.

The Commonwealth was a bit of a push-over in my game as Sweden. Problem is I ignored most of it to gobble up the tasty coastal parts, so a certain absolute ruler of a formerly insignificant balkan nation gobbled it all up and now I'm getting wrecked  leads an alliance of all the big protestant nations about to wreck my Swedish armies poo poo. So much border to cover, why did I ally Kiev  Personally I'm a fan of the AI super state of GAZIKUMUKH that teamed up with Persia and hosed over Russia.  Danland is a funny story in its own right. Started out as a small Danish Norse state that beat up all the other states in the UK except the similarly norse (but scottish) Highlander state. Then after it started up colonisation I got messages about how DOOMSDAY had befallen Danland, turns out they converted to Nahautl?? So I teamed up with the Highlanders and took London for keeps. Don't worry though, Norse danes are still strong in the states of Haiti and the USA  Also sports an Ibadi Tosan (Japanese) colony in Mexico.

Theatrum Orbis Terrarum + revolutionary borders mod and TBARW transparent political map mod. Once you've tasted the sweet nectar of map mods you can't go back to vanilla claydo mode.

Rolling into 1700 as Bohemia, and I'm thinking I've stalled out. The Commonwealth is firmly allied with France, who gobbled up Iberia and can swat away any land force it feels like. I've got a strong alliance with Scandinavia, and Austria is somewhat reliable and has a PU over Russia. I've got the HRE locked down, but can't get any IA. Next time I get elected, I'll enforce Catholicism on the remaining princes I have sway over and see if I start accumulating IA after that. I guess I could afford to piss off some of the electors with a new king and expand into Germany, hoping that I have time to regain their favor by the time he gets old. But other than that, I feel like this game has kinda stagnated and it might be time to move on to a country with a bit more horsepower and/or colonial tendencies.

It looks darker zoomed out than it does otherwise, something about taking screenshots too. It's only the ocean that's dark as gently caress ingame. It's EUIV: Gothic.

It definitely looks like I will be able to get Master of India in time   All of the provinces in Italy that I have I got with Threaten War, which has been amusing. Also got some land from Georgia, Multan, and Russia that way. Typing that last sentence reminded me to do it some more and i just got Ryazan from Russia and Venice from Milan :iamafag: Other than the multitude of regencies this has been a really fun run once I got so rich that I could use money to make things less tedious. I'm preparing for a war with Ming to take the provinces in India that they just hoodwinked out from under me while I waited for a truce to end. Any other achievements you guys would recommend going for while I am this nuts?

So my last 5 games or so I have played as a chickenshit custom nation that was western tech already. How should I go about dealing with the tech disadvantage while playing as the Ottomans? Should I purposely tank my tech at the beginning to westernize quicker or just let them gradually pass me, or should I not even worry about westernizing at all? I'll fully admit that despite playing over 300 hours I'm not super great at the game.

I'll fully admit that despite playing over 300 hours I'm not super great at the game. The Ottoman tech penalty is barely a penalty. You won't have any trouble keeping up in tech and ideas, especially if Mehmed II sticks around for a few decades (and in my experience he usually does). The penalty just means you'll have less points to spend on development, aka the thing you only do when you're about to cap on points. Even then, you have the option to conquer Wien or Prague for free westernization. The Ottomans are hands down the easiest country to play as.
