I'm playing as Russia, it's 1550 and I am super behind in tech. This is bad, because my main enemies, Ottos and the Teutonic Order, are not, and after a period of rebuilding they slipped out of my truce rotation. I can hold off one of them and even make gains, but not both. What should I do to not suffer so much because of very slow institution spread?

Elias_Maluco posted:Well, exactly. A system you can almost certainly ignore (like sailors and, mostly, corruption) is pure bloat The only time I've ever had to take note of my sailors pool was when I first got access to navies as Aztec (and other techblocked/landlocked nations). It seems almost silly to me how they keep tweaking the numbers with Sailors because they still don't matter. I get that it's supposed to be naval manpower, but what was it supposed to address, gameplay-wise? What was the thesis behind its creation and continued existence?

I can't figure out why my conquistador won't enter terra incognita. The TI is clearly land, the army isn't in exile and has nobody attached, there's no war, I can't enter manually or through the seven cities hunt.

I'm in South America if that matters. Despite switching the conquistador between armies and hiring a new one I still can't enter TI. My explorer isn't having any problems.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Have you restarted your game (as in, turned it off and turned it back on)? Yep.  If I select the hunt for seven cities it says "exploring" for a moment but the unit doesn't move. This isn't showing the cursor, which has the red X.

Poil posted:Those areas are wasteland, and it looks like you've fully explored South America so they have nowhere to go to search since I assume you don't have access to walk past Central America. It would be nice if the game actually told you this. Serves me right for not knowing my geography. Thanks.

Nations wanting your subjects' provinces is a real relationship killer. I saw my eternal friendship with Castile shoot to -200, and now my alliance with France feels like it's on a tightrope because their desire for four South American provinces (they are not even landed in or near SA) carries a -136 penalty. I think this alliance is the only thing stopping Castile from raining down on me (Portugal). When nations consider war against you do they factor in the mass number of military/navy you and your allies have, or is it more complex than that? I figure that if I lose the French alliance I might ally with a bunch of the little European states, who are the only ones who'll accept it. A few of them together might make me look daunting in sheer numbers. snoremac fucked around with this message at 16:35 on May 6, 2017 |

Militaristic AI leaders are jerks. More than once a new monarch in an allied nation decided our decades-old alliance wasn't worth keeping, because some of our provinces were touching.

I'm in the middle of a Russia run right now, at one point I was up to about 85% tech penalty between colonialism and printing press and it was painful. I didn't develop for them, waited for natural spread and took loans to embrace, and for quite a long time my economy was in the shitter from shitloads of debt and corruption from being behind in diplo tech, but I pulled out of it, now it's the middle of the 1600s, I'm sitting on 90 absolutism, my economy is booming, colonizing Alaska, Prussia and Brandenburg are marches, and I'm dunking on the Ottomans and Ming as I expand to the Soviet/Warsaw Pact borders. Keep at it. E: Also, how'd you end up at war with the Ottos so early? I made it a point to vassalize the Teutons early in the 1400s, between my first and second wars with Poland-Lithuania, but I left the Ottos alone until the early 1600s, when I was able to call France in against them... I thought they were in the middle of Janissary Decadence when I DOW'd but they totally weren't, and that first war was painful  Also something funny I noticed, new to the dynamic cultural province names while colonizing Alaska as Russia- I grew up in Sitka, and the province adjacent to Sitka is called "Novoarkhangelsk", but Novo Arkhangelsk was the Russian name for the city of Sitka The location of the port in the province of Sitka isn't in the right spot, but at least it's in the correct province...

I stole almost all of Lithuania, but without the Commonwealth as a buffer the Ottomans just pushed all the way to Kamenets. Meanwhile, I expanded south to reach the Caucasus, and whoops.

Got quickly tired of Austria, the HRE sucks. I started a game with france, I ate catalonia from Aragon and made them release sardinia but then castile got the iberian wedding.. But due to me marrying them before, a de valois is on the throne with no heir  instantly broken my alliance with them (they would've done it anyway) and 2 years away from the end of the truce they're still heirless. I claimed the throne, and the Ottomans are on board to join the war on my side while they have only naples, a much reduced Aragon and Portugal... I might just pull it off

I know it's a limitation of how much you can mod and there's not really any way around it, but I really hate how so many huge mods these days use giant strings of events to replicate a mechanic. Like in Meiou, all the education stuff for instance is put into this compendium style thing, and if you go deep into it you have to flip back through fifty different "back, thank you" popups again to get out of it and so on. I was kinda interested in trying out the 2.0 version but it seems like half the interesting new mechanics are locked behind that stuff, it's so cumbersome.

If you mean colonial nations, they need to be in the new world and consist of five provinces in one colonial region.

Playing again after not playing for many a year.. (Trying Poland) I presume I need to chip away at TO slowly, letting AE decay down? Only taking a few provinces at a time? Seems super slow. Anything I can do to speed things up?

alcaras posted:Yeah. Should I work on having a bunch of claims before attacking? It lowers the aggressive expansion, and also makes it so the claims that you take do not cost dip power ( aka Unjustified Demands). If you can, you should, but it's not entirely necessary. But really, eating nations piecemeal is usually better than in one go. What you can do is completely block off provinces from anybody else for later eating - as long as they don't already have claims/cores on them, they'll be unable to declare war for them.

As Poland for the first war with the Teutons in particular it can be useful to pass some stuff on to Lithuania that'll eventually become yours anyway. They're the ones who get the AE for that after all.
