Odobenidae posted:I'm doing a Mali run right now. Develop your capital early on for faster feudalism and develop your gold mines to drown in money (and inflation). Eat Jolof asap, take Kong next for their gold mine. After that go for Jenne/Macina and by then you should be strong enough to easily take on Songhai + Friends on your own. You start as the most powerful of any of the west africans, but your ruler/heir are garbage. Disinherit your heir and hope your ruler dies, I ended up being two military techs behind everyone else near the start because I forgot that was a feature.

So, I have a general, and I have significantly (17k vs 11k, 14k vs 10k, 20k vs 12k) more guys than people, I keep losing. I feel like I'm missing some kind of trick with this; often the fight's going great until they're at, say, 10% morale, then theirs slides glacially and mine keeps spiralling down? Is there something that'd be doing that?

Is there something that'd be doing that? What's their morale and tactics compared to yours? Is there a terrain modifier in their favour or yours? What's your army composition? What's their general compared to yours? Sometimes the dice will gently caress you hard. I've had battles where they got 8-9 for 6+ rounds and I got 0-1...haha. Off the top of my head it sounds like maybe they have a better general or they are getting a terrain bonus. The battle starts good because you have more men, but as the dice rolls go in their favour over and over, the battle turns. Hard to say without knowing all the info, though. Are they adding any extra troops as the battle goes on?

Just a heads up, gold sucks as a native tribe because you're a filthy unenlightened savage who doesn't know its true value. Seriously, you only get 1/10 of the money from gold that non-primitives get.

Being a republic is fun with personalities. I keep voting in pretty good leaders then they develop horrible crippling traits and I vote them the gently caress out of office. I'd hate to be a monarchy and waiting for some corrupt tyrant to die.

Korea is ludicrously easy guys, maybe the easiest start right now. Like the Choson One achievement sounds like it should be a slog but it really isn't. I've also spent the whole game with my prestige in the 90s, which is something I've never even managed to do when trying except as Ethiopia who get a whole bunch of National Ideas and holy cities to conquer and keep it high.

It's still kind of a slog because there's like 2k+ development in China so you're going to spend a looooong time conquering and coring provinces there. I'll agree that Korea and Ethiopia (honorable mention Bahmanis) are among the best non-European starts but it's a long uphill battle.

I'd put Orissa on the list too. They got nerfed a bit around CS but at some point the balance shifted back their way - it's pretty easy now to conquer big swathes of Bahmanis/Vijay (depending on who loses the immediate total war they always get into a few months in) and Bengal feels like a lot less of a threat and more like a big tasty bag of development to take. Also, the achievement for getting all of the Tropical Wood provinces as Orissa is one of the least-earned achievements in the game so it's a neat one to strive for.

Is there an easy way to get out of being defender of the faith? I want to switch to Protestant, but the game won't let me while I'm defender of the Catholic faith. I'm so strong with such good alliances no one has dared to declare war on a Catholic nation for decades, so it doesn't seem like I'll have an opportunity to dishonor a defensive call to arms any time soon.

If you've got England supporting your independence it will be easy enough. Teutonic Order, Scotland, and Novgorod are also good options.

Bold Robot posted:How soon can Sweden realistically declare independence? Just trying to figure out what my rough timeline should be. It very much depends on what sort of rivals and allies Denmark lands. You can usually beat up on Denmark and Norway solo, provided you don't let them combine forces. You can't block the straits any more, but having someone like England come in and tying up their fleet is still useful to stop you from getting strait blockaded.

So what's up with the Rights of Man pricing on the paradox store? It says 44% off on the store page, but when I try to actually buy it it comes up as full price. (Other DLCs are discounted as expected.) Has anyone actually bought it at the discounted price? e: Looks like the store page is showing the regular price now.

I really dislike the death clock mechanic on assigned generals. I just gave up on a Luck of the Irish attempt because I forgot to unassign my heir from my army after a war. He died, my 68-year-old ruler soon followed, and I ended up PUed under France. Cool. The mechanic adds nothing to the game at all, it just punishes you for forgetting to click some buttons after a war. I guess it adds a bit of extra risk to using rulers and heirs as generals during wartime too, but the same could be accomplished by slightly upping the chance of them dying in battle, which currently almost never happens. For all I know it's historical that generals died from accidents or diseases in camp more often than they did in battle, but from a gameplay perspective it's poo poo.

Basically it should only be actively ticking if you're at war. Otherwise I think it's fair to assume you're leader is not in the field, bit leading from an office somewhere.
