The japan minors have got to be the most frustrating to play stability wise. It's just constant -1 stab events. I thought it was just a Shimazu thing, but started a Date game and it's like, can't stay above -3. I guess it's just not a stable place with all these samurai running around.

edit:

So how do you become Shogun if Kyoto isn't the capital? Do you still take Kyoto? Does the war condition "grant independence" make you the Shogun?

With, and turns out it's take Kyoto. No clue how Ashikaga ended up with some rando province being their capital. They should really explain that better, since you'd think "become the shogun" would be some kind of victory condition.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday which mentioned the Imperium mod, which was a surprise to me since for some reason I never thought of EU4 having any big conversion mods other than M&T. Are there any other significant overhaul mods out there worth checking out besides M&T and Imperium?



Good lord the amount of work that goes into entirely new maps is... a lot. Gotta write up all the new areas, regions and superregions, new trade nodes and all connections, and a whole bunch of poo poo before EUIV likes running with it :v:

It says it in the explanation text for the option when the "Sengoku has started" event pops up, but yeah it could probably do with a better explanation/reminder.

It's 1520. I've united Mexico and passed all my reforms. Unfortunately, the Europeans haven't discovered the New World yet because Colonialism hasn't spawned. And that means I've got nothing to do but slowly colonize some lovely 1/1/1 provinces until some white people show up and show me how to feudalism. And of course I can't build boats yet because ??? which means that the Carribean is right next to me but completely out of reach.

I got tired of struggling with ironman and wanted to dick around with Incas. I wish I had done ironman because it's 1640 and europe does not have its poo poo together. It may be endlessly amusing that it takes my army over a year to march across my borders, but I still wanted to know what the gently caress was up with the new world coming to stomp me in.

Yeah, the rest of that is unlikely, but I've seen similar things happen before (Ottomans get a bit too greedy leading to a European dogpile, Poland refusing the unions and getting slaughtered, etc). AI Tibet conquering China is almost certainly impossible.

Are you running any mods that might've messed things up?

Nah, I'm just an idiot. AnoHito had it right-An old mod that breaks up china was on and it did not enjoy the new provinces in Asia. Timeline was great though and I didn't even know that feature existed.

Coptic Ottomans are OP.

This is fun. Map is from 1542, eating the rest of Mamlukes will be the next war. Persia is my vassal, currently being integrated. I released a single province before Timurids imploded, and rebels released most of the country to my vassal. However, they were super rebellious, so I had to use the liberty desire exploit (march and unmarch them) to clear it.
