There's an event, but it's MTTH of 200 months and requires Portugal to have 150+ approval of Spain, and be in the right historical period, and be in a regency. So it's really unlikely.

genericnick posted:Another event or a normal PU? I wasn't aware that there were special events that gave Spain PUs other than the wedding. Another event: http://www.eu4wiki.com/Spanish_events#The_Portuguese_Crown then the two normal PUs with Burgundy and Hungary, all before 1650. That's 5 PUs in 200 years, 3 by event and 2 normal, what's the chance of that? (edit: the Portugal Crown event has a mean time to happen of 2000 months, I really hit the jackpot by getting it around 1580-1590, which apparently is when it actually happened in history!) Now with full quantity I can field 550k men while Ottomans, the second power, has something like 200k. Also I have full offensive and quality, combined with the +15% morale from spanish traditions, so they're loving super soldiers too. 115% morale, 130% discipline, +10% combat ability for everything and maybe some more bonuses I can't think of right now. I'm behind on dip tech though, due to spending every single diplo point to annex people  Now whatever I pick for my next game will feel disappointing

Baron Corbyn posted:Just had the biggest loving anticlimax ever. Playing as Von Habsburg Poland, both Austria and I have claimed the throne of Hungary, who are governed by a 67-year-old king with no heir, and broken our alliance with them, massing our troops on the Hungarian border either for the truce timer to run out so we can declare war on Hungary for our claim or for the succession war between Poland and Austria on monarch death. I've got enough money to keep my army maintenance full but it's a tight squeeze and I'm trying threatening Austria's allies into breaking the alliance (excluding myself) but they've still got enough for it to be a full on mega war. If you want to press your claim for a PU you're gonna have to truce break. Five years is plenty of time to find an heir, even if it has to come from events.

Franco-Ottoman alliance historically persisted from Suleiman the Magnificent right up till Napoleon, and the AI often seeks it out for the same reason as the real French and Ottoman monarchs were desirous of it: to wit, gently caress Austria in its stupid face. It's a bit lame when it happens like the minute the game starts but RNG happens, what can you do.

Are you playing with AI bonuses or lucky nations turned off? A lot of the challenge in an ironman game comes from all the major countries getting powerful passive buffs to make sure that they blob and prosper if the player doesnt gently caress with them directly

Tsyni posted:Just looked and it lowers liberty desire by 5 per development. That's...good to know. The net result will be a bit less than 5 though, as liberty desire now increases continuously instead of big jumps at 100 and 300. The liberty desire decrease from this will also decay separately from other ways of making them happy (such as paying off debt, or placating) so plan accordingly. For example, if your have a Persia that absorbs 200 LD worth of defecting provinces, you would want to placate as prestige allows, until you are at the point where you could dump enough of the other things to bring them in line.

It's encouraging to see a couple of exploit free Ryukyu runs though, it makes me think I might actually be able to do it someday. Someday there's a huge exploit anyway, like that duplicating custom nation ideas thing a year or so back. But I really want to get it and One Faith at the same time so I never have to touch a world conquest again.

I think we just haven't adjusted to the non random heirs. With the constant prestige income from conquering everything you can reroll heirs until you have a really good one. In the few games I played since rights of man came out I never really hurt for monarch points like in earlier versions.

Alright, jumping back into this game as Castile. An immediate question I have is what to do about trade and pirates. I had my light ships protecting trade, but I was still getting looted. So I set them to hunt pirates. Do you need two fleets now? One for protecting trade, the other for hunting pirates? And did something happen to the music? War music (Ride Forth Victoriously, as an example) is playing at peace time. Node fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Dec 30, 2016 |

Use heavy ships to hunt pirates. With enough of them they stop the berbers from looting too.

The good news is that you probably only need a few ships hunting pirates to nullify the coastal raids. The way coastal raids work is that the amount of loot gained is reduced by the effectiveness of pirates in the node. So, if you have -99% pirate efficiency (easy to maintain if there's no ships actively pirating you) then that's 10 years where you don't have to worry because your provinces gain the tag but the pirates only take an insignificant amount of loot. That being said, either conquer or vassalize any North African muslim countries near you, two sea zones should do it.

I am doing the The sun never sets on the Indian empire and I have everything but London. But England still has their French holdings, and even expanded them I think, and is now in a PU under Austria... This is going to be a world-spanning slogfest. At least I'm allied with Morocco-turned-into-Andalusia who owns half of Iberia.
