Yepp for Muslim Indians. They also get a unique Iqta variation called Indian Sultanate and we've put their tolerance modifier there so we can have more interesting stuff in their ideas. Though with estates, they are not gonna be a "walkover" at early game. That's the idea/hope though....

Wafflecopper posted:How do you not end up miles behind on admin as a horde? I've been playing Great/Golden Horde lately and find that the constant conquering means constant coring which means no admin for tech (yes I'm burning everything as I go and set admin focus on day 1) which means unbalanced research which means corruption which combined with poor land and gently caress all admin to spend on states means I'm always broke which aghghgjgj You don't have to core every province you take. You can release or feed provinces to a vassal, or heck even return them to their original owner after razing them. Also you don't even have to be always at war as a horde anymore. If you have Rights of Man you can strengthen your government to get 10 unity at the cost of 100 MIL.

It's still worth to go to war just to take provinces and then return most of them after razing. This has some really odd opinion/ae behaviour tough. The main problem I always have with hordes is money, because you usually end up with poor land and the tribes make this worse by demanding ever more land.

Must say I like the idea of supporting estates being a bit of a gamble, but not one you're forced to take.

Qara Qonlyu is fun. Almost caught up a horrible tech lag in time to fight off - weakened by Lithuania - Russia and now I'm probably finally going to get owned by the Ottomans. Took a break when they declared, didn't have the nerve to do this right away after the Russia thing.

Since the game keeps track of if your territory is not connected and you get things like Milanese Balkans or whatever can you put in an AE reduction "prettying borders" if the peace deal would unite your lands?

What ships should I use for exploration? Heavies? Or is it actually more cost-effective to use something cheaper?

Anything is possible, but yeah definitely. It might though end up being something like the trade mapmode that just sucks CPU to render everything in it. Rendering individual stuff in the mapmodes is expensive as hell.

Dammit, Groogy. Did you have to hack my game to prove a point? I was like let's see how well Ming is doing this game:  Oh, okay, then. Have fun, Japan.  An OPM Manchu in Korea and that's Hadramut in Taiwan... And uh,   I wondered why they were still around and the Ottomans weren't much help in the League War   And Fetishist Welayta.  And Aragon released the good ol' Anglican Ummayads after it finish eating up Castile.  I love this game.

Is the reformation bugged in the latest version? I stamped out the 3 protestant centers of reformation, then only 2 reformed centers of reformation spawned (even though there were more than 2 reformed princes), so I stomped those out and force converted a majority of the princes. Since I figured there would be no religious war, I passed ewiger landsfreide. Now I have a few random opm princes converting back to the protestant faith (despite no active centers of reformation). Is this a bug? Or are there random events for opm german princes to switch to protestant?

So I'm finishing my first game of EU, as Spain, and I've questions about some of the mechanics. 1.) Taxes seem to be way less important in the late game compared to production. Counting Houses are often giving me like 0.4 ducats or more increased production income, but I've never really seen more than than mid-teens for building new Temples/Cathedrals. Is it better to just invest in production income from start, rather than taxes (i.e., building Workshops instead of Temples)? I'm not 100% clear on the equations, but it seems like once Manufactories are a thing production income is just straight up better. 2.) There was a discussion about drilling, and whether the professionalism or the drill bonus was the "better" benefit of drilling, though I'm not sure I know which was the end take there. 3.) Is there are reliable way to get PUs? I've had royal marriages with several states (France, Provence, and a variety of vassals) but never once ever saw the option for a PU, or any way to pursue one, really. Is getting a PU just a luck thing? 4.) What are people's thoughts on Trade Companies vs turning those territories into States? As an observation, I think it'd be neat to see a Liberalism angle offered in opposition to Absolutism in the end-eras of the game. A big call from lots of colonial governments was inclusion in Parliament, and I think it'd be cool to offer that as a way to unify the colonial and Metropolitan governments. Right now Absolutism seems 100% better than a Constitutional Government, save for having to lose 75 admin points on that "Pamphlets" event every so often.

So I'm doing Great Khan and just finished taking over China. In the peace deal after the last war with Ming, I took all their remaining provinces, including Aleut (in Alaska), which was in an unexplored part of the map. Ming's last few troops were in that province, and became separatists since Ming no longer existed. I got vision of the province when I took it, but the surrounding sea zones remained unexplored, leaving me no way to take it back from the rebels. This meant they slowly filled their victory bar, and now Ming has all their mainlaind cores back. That's pretty loving retarded. 7000 guys hanging out on some Alaskan islands force me to cede China. What the gently caress. e: I got to keep Aleut though! e: Why is razing costing me MP during the reconquest?

I'm not 100% clear on the equations, but it seems like once Manufactories are a thing production income is just straight up better. 1. Not really. Just build whatever gets you more gold in the short term, as gold in the short term means more dudes, which is more wars, which is more territory, which is more gold. Rinse and repeat. 2. Drill is a decent bonus, but early game I value the gold from turning down my slider during peacetime higher and mid to late game my armies are usually busy 24/7, so even though my income is high enough to run all my armies at max maintenance all day every day, I usually don't find myself drilling all that often. My biggest issue with drill is the duration it lasts. A few battles and you're looking at no drill, so dedicating lots of gold that could be used on more dudes seems a tad wasteful. 3. Luck. There are ways to game the system, but they all involve luck to some degree. If someone has the same family as you, you can claim their throne under certain conditions, but getting your family on the throne of someone not your vassal is entirely luck based. And PUing one of your vassals it pointless. 4. Never not trade company. The extra merchants alone are huge.

Alright, it took a bunch of extra game/irl time I could have used to make the map a bit prettier by taking Korea and SE Asia, but I took Ming over again and got Great Khan and the horse grazing one (got Gold Rush on a previous attempt). Thanks everyone who posted horde tips upthread, I think I got the hang of it now. Shoutout to AI Italy, something I've never seen before
