You also don't need a conquistador to explore grey areas if you're at war with the owner of that province

Honestly if you haven't played in a long time you should probably just try out vanilla (+ my mod), a huge huge amount of stuff has changed. Maybe get some more random new world tiles if you're into that sort of thing, or one of the things that unlocks more options in the nation designer? There's not really any go-to mods, it's just personal preference really.

Gah, I don't usually complain about fort's ZoC, but I had my guys sieging a province, with a backup army two provinces over to cut off or reinforce depending what my enemy did. They were able to get to the province being sieged...until I won the siege, and then I was cut off by another fort that wasn't affecting me before. smh.

Jsor posted:It would be nice if there were a few more ways to get institutions, though I like that it makes paying attention to development something you actually do. Maybe something like "court foreign scholars" where you target a country you have positive opinion with that has embraced the institution, and pay a large number of ducats/mth (or even something like diplo/month). Maybe have other modifiers while doing it like +national unrest because you're spreading those dirty furriner ideas. "Fund Itinerant Young Noblemen," an option that allows you to subsidize the travels of younger members of your court so they'll bring back foreign ideas

Any idea on what the Prussian Monarchy does for custom nations in terms of events or features? I was doing a quick custom Inca game with that government form and I notice nothing changed besides an extra button in the government window. Also: could someone describe to me the pros and cons of the government form?

I was doing a quick custom Inca game with that government form and I notice nothing changed besides an extra button in the government window. I haven't played a full Prussia game yet but I was tooling around with it in custom game as well and as far as I know it doesn't give you any special events by itself, those would all be Prussian-specific events since it's a special case government. Pros: all rulers have at least 3 military power. Innate unrest and WE reduction. High militarization (you get this by having lots of army tradition or legitimacy, or click the button to spend 50 military bucks to raise it manually) gives you discipline, manpower recovery, and reduced maintenance. Cons: the more provinces you have the bigger penalty to militarization you get. It's basically designed to encourage you to play tall and not blob all over Germany, while still being able to kick the poo poo out of ostensibly superior powers. When I've played a full game I'll have a better sense of whether that works. Wars are so dependent on troop numbers in EU4 that I have to assume it's still not a bad idea to just blob all over Germany.

I'm currently exploring Europe with a conquistador and open borders treaties, trying to find Landshut (for the "conquer every Institution origin province" achievement). It's 1725. Yeah, they need to do something about the fog of war.

I'm doing a Not just Pizza -> Italian Ambition run and France are really going a long way to earning forgiveness for every one of my games they've wrecked. They helped me carve up Castile after they broke an alliance with me and are now repaying every loan I take out. Rights of Man is a lot better than I expected.

The wiki says that there's also a chance of a local dynasty giving you a consort when you get an heir.

They helped me carve up Castile after they broke an alliance with me and are now repaying every loan I take out. Rights of Man is a lot better than I expected. Every northern Italian country from Provence to Venice plus a few German minors and independent Naples declared war on my Papacy for expanding a little too fast in the north. Their 80,000 troops steamrolled my 35,000 plus mercs. My best friend Castile showed up 6 months later with 70,000 and beat them back enough for me to take another Italian province and grab 600 ducats! Thanks, Castile. It's almost as if AI allies are actually useful now.

Tendronai posted:The wiki says that there's also a chance of a local dynasty giving you a consort when you get an heir. The event also affects the province your consort came from. I think it was lower revolt chance, some other benefit and increased autonomy. Is being able to give your allies' provinces in wars a bit gamey? I got myself into a mega war over Malta with France, Austria-Hungary, Tlemcen and the Pope against Spain, Portugal and Venice and the Ottomans decided to intervene as a Great Power but I was able to get them and their ridiculous navy to bugger off by letting them keep the parts of Hungary they'd occupied. It cost me some trust that I was able to win back by handing out some territories after the war but shouldn't Austria have been able to tell me to gently caress off and not give away a huge chunk of Hungary to get Malta.

The AI can do it to you too, so it cuts both ways. I've had the lead AI in a war decide to give up some of my territory to make a peace deal. Thanks pal. Glad I, as defender of the faith, came to help you.

Elotana posted:In Rights of Man, do you need a royal marriage to get a queen, or is it just a lower random chance? You can get local queens if you don't have anybody to RM, but I think it can only happen when your heir ascends. Other than that, gaining a Queen is triggered directly by the RM acceptance, meaning it happens immediately, rather than an event with a MTTH that's modified by RMs.

There are events for them not irregularly. I played for about 200 years as an immortal character and got 5-6 prince consorts, without royal marrying or having an heir ascend. Actually a couple of times there were events where I could've gotten more that I turned down- there's a "marry a lowborn" thing you get sometimes.

Operation Bosnian Clay is beginning to look like a success. I've just embraced the Printing Press, so I'm at 0% tech penalty. Hit mil tech 15 and I've got Diplomatic, Defensive and Economic ideas completed with Quantity half full. I'm allied to Austria, Switzerland and the newly formed huge Commonwealth. Transylvania is my little march that I'll be feeding Hungary to as soon as the truce ends. After I had eaten Serbia and the Croatian bits of Hungary I stopped getting auto-warned by The Ottomans (one of the reasons it took a while to break out was that when the warning expired I would have maybe a four day window to declare a war before I got warned again). I suppose at some point I can culture shift to Croatian, form Croatia and get that Krabater achievement. edit: also, privateering Venice is ludicrously valuable, much better than trying to trade there.

Maybe it should let GPs tell you to gently caress off, or require a diplo tech somewhere around Westphalia, or require a power/contribution difference or something. If Austria saves you in a war, you shouldn't be able to give away Austrian territory to preserve your own.
