What happens if you roll a defenders desert?  There is an obvious modifier that clearly states friendly neighboring province.

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. I had a great start with it actually, the problem wasn't Mexico, I kicked rear end and got up to four Nahuatl reforms. The problem was when I went to fight Pueblo to make them a vassal because they had somehow caught up in tech and despite being a three province Native American country, they had a 26 unit army that wrecked me. Over and over. They wouldn't accept any peace until they had me at 100% and made me release EVERYTHING

With the advent of institutions, and the possibility that Europe could fall behind the rest of the world, I think that trade company regions should be added to Europe. I really want India to be able to found the West England Company.

I remember some people in this thread asking about Dark Continent, the "Europe wiped out by the Black Death and is colonizable" mod (which I've been letting languish for a couple of years while Paradox pumps out DLC like crazy), so here's an update. I'm making progress now that Mandate of Heaven is coming.Tsyni posted:Need a way to reverse the flow of trade nodes. I wish there was some kind of elegant solution, but I feel like the entire thing would need to be reworked. This is something I'm trying to teach myself right now. (Some guy just dropped a trade mod that at least makes the American west coast more easy for Asian to colonize.) Also trying to come up with plausible Islamic (arabic/turkic/etc) names for European colonial regions & nations.   (some of these have already been changed) (1821 after an observer game, AI colonization is still extremely inconsistent/underwhelming)

The best solution would probably be to have trade streams changeable by event. There would have to be some way to prevent feedback loops from forming. It would probably have to be a thing for EU5 though.

So I'm trying Teutonic Order to Prussia to shake things up and the men are space mariney enough to dunk on Poland by my force limit is REALLY low. Like, I have my initial lands, Pomerania, Mecklenberg, Hamburg, most of Denmark, and some other odds and ends and it is only 27 in 1540. Should I get Quantity ASAP or am I doing something wrong? I feel like I've never been this outclassed in troop numbers with being a middle Great Power by overall development.

You're in Europe, so your provinces should have enough military development, and you don't have to deal with additional attrition, so I wouldn't go quantity first (even though the idea group owns.) Just keep expanding. I'm not sure if uplifting a culture affects force limits, but you might try doing that to your largest unaccepted cultures.

verbal enema posted:You should take Japan  But seriously, this game is done.  I would have went for more of India but it's a hugbox of Delhi, Baluchistan, and Bengal...with like 50 level 8 forts down there, gently caress that.  I did make Greenland green, though.  And I stole some colonies from Norway with profitable results.  But being this large without Humanism sucks, ask me about having 18 revolts a year, every year for the past 100 years.

The year is 1558. My Ethiopia has successfully spread to dominate East Africa, Egypt, and even parts of Israel. But it has been at a heavy cost. Bankruptcy death spirals have been averted so far, but only by debasing my currency repeatedly. My corruption is 53 and growing every year. I am behind everyone in tech and institutions. The Ottomans just declared on me. They have miltech 13 to my 10. Outnumbered and struggling to keep this new empire together, I consider starting over. A guy on the Mapgoons Discord tells me "Sorry, looked like a good run up until then." I go on to survive that war with minor losses. Over the next two decades I have turned the country around to zero corruption, achieved Prester John and A Blessed Nation, reduced the Ottomans to a middling power, and am the greatest nation in the world. Never give up!

Russia has called me into three wars with the Ottomans that they consistently win, but they completely ignore the call for peace and absolutely murder my stability each time. I NEED that island that produces tropical wood, there isn't much time left in the game, and they promised me land, but I can't negotiate a peace deal since I don't have a personal war score of at least 10%. Invading the Ottoman Empire proper would require moving all my armies from South America and deploying them across the Middle East, if I can get military access. Why can't there be a diplomatic action that tells your ally "Yo, we win, peace out already or I'm gonna be mad."

Mandalay posted:Never heard of this. Can you tell me more about this? Specifically, you can't demand territory in a war unless you have a personal war score of at least 10%. So if you're an ally of someone on another continent that called you in on a war, you can't demand some lovely little island and peace out, you need to have made an effort yourself.

It might not be enough or viable, but Blockading enemy Ports can provide a sizable chunk of Warscore, sometimes netting myself a province or War reparations for doing little more than diverting my trading fleet for a month.

Blockade warscore is influenced by both the number of provinces blockaded and the development value of those provinces. Fully blockading a nation gives up to 25% warscore, so you should be able to hit 10% by just blockading the 2-3 sea zones with the most development adjacent to them. That's what I've been told, anyway Give it a try QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Mar 6, 2017 |

I shrunk the picture in half, egypt is occupied. Literally everything is. Russia finally called the war and I got my tropical wood island. That war hosed the Ottomans up so much they lost Constantinople to Austria, and now they're the Revolutionary Ottomans.
