I'm pretty sure that was a joke guys. In a later postquote:My mistake on the French morale, it was a typo. Should say +70% morale. 4 and 7 are too close to each other on numberpad.

The two countries I refuse to ever play as are Venice and England because they're evil   Byz->Rome run, sorry about the lovely tricolor but wanted to come full circle and return to a republic. Was going for these borders:  Picked a nice river in Germany to stop at, figured Prussia makes a nice Magna Germania. I'd been allies with them for a long time but ended up dismantling the HRE with a thematically-appropriate Byzantine-Aachener Imperialist War, which pulled in Emperor Prussia and the last electors I wasn't already occupying. I spent 1600-1750 eating all of Iberia, France, and Central/Eastern Europe, sitting on 100% overextension and juggling truces to split the coalitions in half. I tried eating all of Persia but historically decided it was more difficulty than it was worth Borders were done around 1750, made the Revolution pop to switch to a republic then sat in a well-earned peace for 20 years letting my manpower pool fill up and stating territories. ~2,000,000 men under arms, ~500 ducats/month profit. Honestly, I remember Byz starts when you galley spammed and blocked the strait, or called in Austria+Poland-Lithuania without favors, and 1.19 is probably the easiest Byz start in a while. Restart until Albania allies with Hungary (and optionally, is guaranteed by Serbia) and ally Albania and I had all my cores back before 1450. Then I ate Serbia/Bosnia and started eating the Ottomans once the truce was up.Bonus religious map:  France went Reformed. The only Catholic countries left were Spain, Poland, and Lithuania. E: Just realized I should have eaten two provinces more of Great Britain. Oh noes

TorakFade posted:This is kinda huge, now once you form a CN you won't have to babysit it with your own settlers for it to make significant progress It's still there after they removed the French Elan troll. It also looks like it will be easier for them to attack neighboring natives. This will dramatically increase the rate of colonization. I suspect you will want to spread yourself across multiple colonial regions as quickly as possible so you can reap the benefits of your CNs colonizing.

Even regular regiments cost ducats to reinforce, so naturally mercs do too, at a higher cost.

But how much do they cost? iirc when a regiment is reinforcing it costs 3x regular maintenance both a regular regiment and a merc regiment will cost 3x maintenance (and merc maintenance is a lot higher) but mercs don't need manpower previously the most cost-effective way to use mercs was probably to consolidate and recruit new mercs rather than paying for them to reinforce but who knows with the new changes

How exactly does Cavalry Ratio work? All I know is that you don't want to much cavalry in your army but beyond that I don't know what the bonuses or maluses are.

White Coke posted:How exactly does Cavalry Ratio work? All I know is that you don't want to much cavalry in your army but beyond that I don't know what the bonuses or maluses are. Being over the ratio reduces tactics by 25%, so a unit with too much cavalry will take more damage.

You can find out your culture's particular ratio by mousing over the cavalry icon when you have an army selected.

They should just give generals inf/cav/art bonuses (keep maneuver) instead of making you figure out the opaque fire/shock system that you don't have any control over anyway
