burgundy has a modifier that pretty much prevents an heir except the lady heir which they get by event. then when she takes the throne there's another event for the fate of burgundy, usually someone gets a pu on it. then i think there's a third event for the suzerain to integrate pu burgundy

Finished my first run, as Munchen - Bavaria - HRE. Went for the Stern des Sudens achievement, which isn't too hard - what I did was wait until Imperialism CB, since Expansion no longer seems to allow you to forge claims for overseas, and conquered a few provinces to give Bremen enough range to go Bremen - Suez - Horn of Africa. Afterwards I played it out to the end in speed 5, after unifying the HRE. Timurids got the revolution and did absolutely nothing with it - they kept being friendly with the Ottomans and expanded the revolution peacefully to Tibet, basically.

First time playing Brandenburg: how do I get the League War to fire? I'm currently Emperor, but I don't want to go too hard in the paint for converting my provinces back to catholic because my goal is to form Prussia once I enact the Peace of Westphalia (alternatively do it if someone else becomes Emperor, but my succession is pretty secure atm).

What is going on with nations joining the empire? After the Shadow Kingdom fired quite a few italian nations left the empire, but in the 20 years after most have joined it again. Even the pope. And Ragusa has joined it. Seems a bit out of control.

I don’t have any problems with the ability for the HRE to get bigger but in a game set during an era where it only ever shrank I feel like you’d want to put some more effort into exploring that possibility.

You as the Emperor can't start the war, you need the Leagues to form, then for the Protestant side to feel sufficiently strong to declare the war. So maybe no-CB Ming or something so you look really weak? That said if you're going to convert later anyway it might be worth throwing the war and letting Protestants take over.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Ottomans are sucking pretty hard this patch it seems. Presumably because of mega austria. Yeah I'm seeing the same thing. The Ottos fought a bunch of hell wars against Genoa+The Empire, which they did win, but then they completely failed to expand into Asia or the Balkans at all, despite being stronger than all of their neighbours as far as I could tell. Them being strong and passive is just so baffling. e: actually is there a console debug method to expose just what the AI is thinking at any given time? Some of their decisions during this first game have been really baffling. PittTheElder fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Jun 11, 2020 |

Ultimately the probable answer to this is that they were fully aware, but wacky ahistorical poo poo happening just isn't sufficiently concerning to delay releasing.

while the crazy IA is weird, the only actual thing outlandishly wrong with the patch is the AI's receptiveness to rejoining the empire which, to be fair there isn't a reason to not join the empire if you're smaller then a duchy

Also for reining in Italy do you need to against each single country in an individual peace treaty or does just winning against the overall war leader work?

ilitarist posted:- Monopolies give you mercantilism and lump sum. In 10 years you can renew the deal and get the money again. You probably lose money in the process but 100 gold now is much better than 150 gold in 10 years. Plus it makes the estate happy. The lump sum is roughly equal to 10 years of trade value for the goods you're monopolizing. You miss out on the production efficiency multiplier, but that's the only downside, so it's very good in the early game but gets worse as you get more PE.

Looks like reigning in Italy isn't too hard. As Austria rocking Bohemia, Hungary, Milan as PU's right now and have taken a big chunk out of Venice. Only country I have left to rein in is Siena and I'm in a war against them now with about 15 years to spare before the cutoff date. Apparently you can just keep your relations with every country above 150% but it's a lot easier to just war them. Any peace deal you win counts for it. So to avoid AE problems I would pretty typically just take war reps and money.

the real secret is that you don't want to reign in italy; you let them go for 20 imperial authority and then improve to 150 relations and get them to rejoin for 10 IA each

When things like this happen in software it's generally because something changed late in the piece which had unintended consequences and because it was a late change it didn't get spotted. But assuming that things were broken in this specific way for the full dev cycle and they just never got around to fixing it is probably not right.

So the basic Austria strat now would be: 1-Befriend electors 2-Beat up Bohemia for a PU. 3-Eat Venice to enable Hungary PU, maybe free some opms 4-Pound Burgundy, free more subjects 5- Pick between France, Ottos and Poles and go to town?
