I love it when you have the -AE idea from Influence, the event from Influence that gives you -10% AE, and you are the curia controller, which gives you -20% AE. I just took pretty much all of Italy north of Rome in 1550 AD and no one gave a poo poo.

Did the mechanics for trust change at some point since it was introduced? The wiki says that it should accumulate over time when allied with someone, and raise by 10 when you accept their calls to war, but I have been playing a game for a while now and have never seen trust raise above 50 at all unless I spend favours to raise it manually. *edit* On a kind-of-but-not-really related note, I wish there was a way to ask to buy provinces from nations you're friendly with (I know they can offer to sell them to you but the AI rarely ever does that) - as the Netherlands I have a couple permanent claims on some territories that were originally part of Burgundy and have since been taken by France, and keep getting "border tension" events because of them, but France and I have been BFFs the entire game so I don't want to backstab my most reliable ally for a couple measly provinces. At the same time I don't like the idea of giving up permanent claims either, and it would be nice to have a compromise option.

If anyone from Paradox still reads this thread, can you please make enemies/rivals show up on the diplo map? Would be helpful for finding who's where in some starts.

Also can you color provinces on the diplo map for Condottieri so you can see where your hired out army is actually supposed to be easier?

I have a great start as Bengal going but I dont play in India much so I'm not too sure how to proceed. I took Exploration and am still working on finishing it out and I just unlocked my second idea. It looks like there are some high development provinces I will have to conquer to dominate India and to get over to Samarkand, plus attrition is high in these fetid jungles so I feel like Admin would be a great idea for the coring discount (I mean, it always is, but...) and the merc discount to save manpower, however, Bengal does not get any military bonuses in their ideas so I really feel like I should take Innovative so I can take Offensive and Quality to get some of those badass mil policies so I'm not a pushover later on. Anyone have any insight?

I don't usually use that mode so I didn't think to check that and yeah it works but dear god who thought it was a good idea to colour neutrals eye-searingly bright yellow? I'd rather use the diplo mode for its grey neutrals. And besides, it's really weird that the diplomatic mapmode doesn't show one of the most important diplomatic relations.

Ugh, this african power run is reminding me why I rarely get beyond 1700 in my campaigns. Every war turns into a huge slog and you have to micromanage every part of your empire. When you have to keep an eye on your main war in Morrocco and also make sure the Ottomans don't sneak in on the other side of the country, not to mention all the tiny naval invasions it just gets too much. Having army missions like the naval missions would be nice. Just being able to tell an army to patrol a certain area for enemy armies would be so helpful.

The message setting that pauses the game every time a unit completes its orders is really helpful for huge empires like this. It sounds really awkward on paper but it's not that intrusive, I only started using it for my WC but now I can't play without it.

I am not good at hordes. I finally grasped the "be at war almost 100% of the time" aspect, but I don't understand how i'm supposed to get my economy in the green. I've taken so many loans that i am now spending more than 5 ducats on interest each month, and i only make 10. My income has been in the red all game.

Are you getting as many ducats as you can in the peace and then razing every province you took? Especially the razing bit is really important, if you don't do that you'll fall way behind in tech as well as missing out on loot. Also, which horde are you? Some just have really lovely starts, but as GH/Kazan, Timurids or one of the Manchu minors you should be able to turn a profit pretty much from game start.

This and also keep in mind that there are lots of situations where you just want to raze land and return it(or feed it to a vassal), so that you don't get too fat too quickly, unless you're rushing to reform.

Playing as qq who seem to have a pretty strong start. I'm trying to flip religion to orthodox because for some reason that seems like a good idea so I've been making it a goal to take all those provinces around me first. Now that I've got all the easy ones I think I'm going to start attacking the Anatolian minors and razing. But I think that just gets me mp which hasn't been too much of an issue for me. It's money that's my problem, despite emptying the purses of everyone I war.

I finally managed to snatch München from Austria in a surprisingly painfree war and formed Germany as the Teutonic Order. High time too since it was the 1770s. Catholic and Religious ideas go well together because I've been sitting on +3 stability for most of the game and permanent forgiven usury and papal sanctioned war. Also my mercantilism is at 88%.  The Ottomans got the revolution and just for fun I saved the game, did some tag switching to make them declare war on me with the spread the revolution CB but there doesn't seem to actually be any forced government change among the peace options? Kinda disappointing that it didn't work because I'm mildly sick of being stuck at duchy level for being a monastic order despite my vast tracts of land. Shouldn't it be possible to at least upgrade to a normal theocracy?

This is only a real issue in late game or whenever you start blobbing really hard. Also I'd like to be able to mothball selectively easier instead of just always hitting the mothball all button.

I just recently picked this up again and I didn't realize that spread of discoveries won't work for me as Inca so it's past 1700 and I still can't see anything other than what I've explored myself and a few enemy and ally capitals. Also I hate Spain and their PU events. e: The Printing Press spawned in Africa this game in what I think was Catholic Soyo, so that was funny even if I have no idea how it happened.

    This game turned into a bit of a slog at the end, but all the difficulty had gone away since my army was so much bigger than anyone else. Might as well go on to 1820 and get the achievement for finishing a campaign.

Is there an easy way to console yourself a core on a province? The Caspian Sea is buggy as gently caress and I can't core a province directly next to my vassal's core for some mysterious reason. Wait isn't there some dumb loving rule where you're not allowed to core through vassal provinces if they're on a different continent or something? That makes sense until they're actually touching the same sea zone as your cores.
