Arrhythmia posted:did you try taking out loans and mercs???? Yeah that's probably what killed me. I think I overcompensated and wasn't cautious enough. Went bankrupt then got attacked in 4 different wars and had Poland abandon me. It's okay. Learning experience. At least I know what it looks like to lose.

Does the AI know to develop provinces on it's own or can you assume that any asian/african/american state you're not playing is going to be at +100% tech penalties for centuries?

So, I just encountered a really weird bug. There should be 34 infantry regiments, yet the game only puts enough in the front line to match the enemy forces. Anything over that doesn't seem to exist as far as the game is concerned. Anyone know how to unfuck the game?

Not really. They should either go to the second line or the reserves. Here, I started a new game from the 1701 bookmark:  24k infantry, deployed properly.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:The AI definitely develops its provinces, often seemingly at random, but overall the non-Euro AI can be pretty competent at getting Institutions or at least prioritizing tech. I think they tied its skill at doing so into the leader personalities that the AI rulers get now. So, expect it but don't rely on it, in short?

The AI will develop like a mofo. It's especially noticeable in the HRE with OPMs. I can think of games fighting the Ottomans and leaving them with three provinces in Anatolia only to find they all had 30+ dev in the 1600s. But... Yeah, can't exactly rely on it.

They aren't doing anything, so what are you worried about? Put your mouse over one of the xs in battle and it won't be moving to the other side, now put your mouse over the cavalry or the middle infantry and you'll see they are engaging. edit: your "missing" infantry will be replaced as they take casualties.

Doesn't flanking range increase over time? So they deploy in 1701 when they would be able to flank that far, but not in 1600 when they would do nothing.

The max infantry flanking range is 2, so those infantry would still be useless. If they were all cavalry it would be a different story because they can get up to 5 flanking range. edit: actually it might be more then 5 flanking range for cavalry with certain NI...not sure how that works, but I think you could see up to 7-8 maybe?

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:It was talked about in this thread a while ago. The guy who made the video doesnt point out how hard it can be to break into Mexico and overall he makes it sound much easier than it actually is. Yeah it's a cool idea but the Reman guy exaggerates how tedious the start is, and keep in mind he doesn't catch up in tech and really take off until after 1600. He calls it one of the most powerful nations in the game but I think that's really a stretch, you get about the same results as Aztec.

Put your mouse over one of the xs in battle and it won't be moving to the other side, now put your mouse over the cavalry or the middle infantry and you'll see they are engaging. They aren't being replaced - that's the point. The game doesn't even put them on the battlefield. As soon as they retreat/die, that's it. As this isn't played on ironman, I switched tags to France and attacked Spain. The same thing happened - it only brings enough infantry to fill the first rank. Every infantry regiment over that isn't put on the battlefield at all. However, I hired a 40 stack of merc infantry, which deployed properly. Then I disbanded all the troops France had, hired a new 40 stack of pure infantry and they deployed properly as well. Wish I knew what caused it in the first place. Having to delete your entire army to fix it is kind of rough. edit:  Much better. sckye fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Mar 3, 2017 |

Arrhythmia posted:AI doesn't get free forts anymore Knowing this is great because if you're paying attention, you may notice that the AI sometimes stupidly mothballs their border forts. If you declare war on them on the first day of the month, you can blitz a couple down before they have time to reinforce.

AFAIK there's no way to fix it and you just have to start over. At first I also thought it was from savescumming, but after some vaguely scientific testing, I think it's from using the "Continue" button on the main menu, which I am never using again

It partly depends on where you are, who else is there, and what decade it is. If Portugal or Spain decide to move into the African interior and are keeping up in tech, you can wind up with tags that don't have much of a penalty on technology. And institutions like global trade spread naturally from centers of trade, so it reaches everyone fairly fast. In my Ethiopia game, everyone in India is caught up on technology because my institutions spread quickly to my provinces there. That would be the case for any African nations too, but those no longer exist

It's not losing ironman status, it stays marked as ironman, just becomes ineligible for achievements- you can click on the in-game achievement browser and it comes up, but it's just an empty gray screen with no possible achievements listed. Not sure if it's a bug or what, happens pretty rarely.

Gave up on Ruthenia, too boring after a few hundred years, and tried Burgundy. 14 goddamned years of regency. France is gleefully eating Iberia. But if England's allies were to get caught up in a war I'll be all over them. I can't hate France though, because when I went to war against England to take Calais to Normandy their hatred made them offer me condottieri for free and they promptly marched down to Portugal and sieged the poo poo out of them.
