Allyn posted:Own all silk provinces is doable from there for sure Tendronai posted:Silk Road for sure, you could try to grab the unify Islam decision too. Depending on who's colonized what you could probably get the three Georgias. And if you haven't gotten it already, dismantle the HRE. With how much time I have left I dont think I need to take Influence because I should have enough time to annex my vassals, so I guess I'll go Quality then Innovative for max combat bonuses. I wonder if I could get A Decent Reserve if I integrate Persia and get all that manpower from India...probably not as I am only at 300k right now and I already have all of the Manpower buildings in the right places.

For the "Lion in the North" achievement, do you actually need to lead the protestant union, or is joining it enough? Edit: never mind, found it in the wiki: you only need to join. And win of course. OperaMouse fucked around with this message at 09:58 on Mar 17, 2016 |

I get why the enemy should have access to troops in your own lands, but with that being the case, why not just have an alliance or go to war yourself? E: I guess for cash and prestige.

Maybe this will make alliance dogpiling less stupid in multiplayer. It will definitely give you things to do in peacetime (fight wars, lewl) too.

I think the Revolution! disaster should just have a button to start it, as well as a disaster. I'm gonna cheese it anyway. Truce break, placate vassals down to negative prestige, take ten loans, and you're off to the races.

I wish there was a way for me to tell how much autonomy a province has below the estate's minimum threshold. Like "Local Autonomy: 14.6% (Minimum 25%)".

Further on in the thread, it's available to be used by all leaders, but it's probably only going to be militarists bordering the warring nations. Star posted:I didn't get if the rented army is eating from your mp or the one who rents? Or just costs money to resupply like mercs? They're still your troops so you take the costs, you also get the war exhaustion but since you're still technically at peace it's probably not going to be that big of a deal. Some other neat tidbits - taking the money and hiding out in your country will give you a malus to hiring out your armies again. You cannot send your king or heir to lead, only generals. If you're really lazy you can just attach to your host countries army and let the AI do everything.

Drive them into bankruptcy by locking their army and fleet in a province and occupying everything else. Then just white peace them and leave them bankrupt and with 20 war exhaustion. That usually works nicely if it's 1750 of whatever the date is for revolutions.

Well, now I'm confused. I went from Monarchy to Republic with the decision, and then went Revolutionary, but then re-elected my ruler when I was under 20 RT, which made me an enlightened despotism, but then my lovely despot died and dropped me into regency, so I clicked the Monarchy to Republic button again, and now I'm an Oligarchic Republic which is also the revolution target still? What is even happening to my country edit: I changed governments to Constitutional Republic and now my poor country is the Federal Republic of Revolutionary Spain edit2: also I'm very curious what would happen if I'd been able to swap to Theocracy.

Fister Roboto posted:The Ottomans are hands down the easiest country to play as. Well that certainly wasnt an exaggeration. By the end I was at 750k manpower and about 1500 force limit.  It was a lot of fun though and the first time I feel like replaying the same country again right away to see if I can do better. I was a little slow off the start and over the course of the game I wasted too much time helping my 2 BFFs Lithuania and Poland for no gain. Only managed to get all of India around 1790, then just kind of stopped trying to do anything. I bet I could have chunked Ming somewhat.

I did and got all of Egypt, East Africa, and Arabia by 1550 I think. Now I'm doing it to India. I'm playing my first real game ever as the Ottomans right now, and I'm not nearly that big. What's this vassal-blocking mechanic? My Ottos in ~1530 are basically just Anatolia, the Levant, the Balkans+Wallachia, and all the minor islands in the eastern Med.

Multiplayer post So hey, subhunt time! Westphalia (in the light yellow in northern Germany) is the front line in an east/west split that makes the Cold War look quiet. Burgundy has probably the most absurdly good troops on Earth. Punch poo poo out of everyone! If you're down for either of these, you can hit me, Obliterati up on Steam or post in this thread. This week we begin at 7PM GMT, because of some weird thing involving American time zones.

Athaboros posted:I'm playing my first real game ever as the Ottomans right now, and I'm not nearly that big. What's this vassal-blocking mechanic? If you don't have a continuous land connection into another continent, such as India or Africa or China, you get a 50% admin discount for coring. So you can block yourself off with a vassal and get a sweet discount on coring half the world. The down side is that all those provinces will have 75% autonomy until you connect them to your main provinces. It doesn't need to be a vassal, however, it could just be any country blocking a continuous connection, but a vassal is obviously easier because you don't have to worry about military access. You can always block off a chunk, core it all, then unblock it and block it off further down the line as well so that you lower the autonomy floor on those provinces and get more tax/manpower etc.
