AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I'm not sure what it is but I have to say I actually like the change because I feel like its a bit more realistic, I think? The idea being that historically battles were somewhat rare because if you have an army you can siege and threaten things, but if you throw your army away in a pointless fight then you cant do poo poo. I think it could be tweaked so if the AI has overwhelming force it would be a bit more aggressive on the whole I've been liking the changes. I haven't noticed changes? I'm still regularly ravaging AI homelands only to see 100k of their troops have started to try and siege down my most far-flung forts, or wondering where the hell my allies are and then noticing that oh, they're all furiously sieging down the weakest, furthest away enemy to the tune of 50k attrition casualties, 0 enemy troops lost, 25 ducats compensation.

Popoto posted:Tried a game with Austria. It seems you now get a permanent(!) malus to your relations with the electors if you don't vote with the majority in the Diet? I guess that means if you want to be emperor you have no choice but to vote for whatever the AI picked in majority when there is an imperial incident? I hosed a game bad by not noticing that earlier. Annoying considering I had just got done getting Milan, Bohemia and Hungary in a PU. In my current game as Austria, it seems like the modifier lasts only until the next incident, rather than stacking. I successfully reigned in the Italian princes by just allying them all for a few months before cancelling right after firing the decision (had like eight alliances for a month or two), then when the incident for the pope joining the empire popped, I went from having a -25 from going against them to a +10 from voting with them.

I had about 100k forces spread around sieging France. He had about 80k. So if he had combined his forces he could have forced me to only siege one fort at a time or wipe my spread out forces. Back when I played a lot the AI used to combine their forces into doomstacks to threaten sieging armies. They do much less of this now it seems. I just find it boring to win wars without fighting at all.

Strange. Maybe the troop quality difference is too large or something then. Or they already have low manpower. I will see when I fight the Ottomans later.

They had the whole south coast of England marked as vital but will only accept Calais and nothing else and are gonna hate me for not giving them land they won't take. gently caress's sake. Would have been nice to keep them around as an ally but so much for that. Wafflecopper fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Jun 22, 2020 |

I'm asking cause I'm colorblind too, not that seriously as some but it's enough for me to ignore most colors in the game. Like I know that allied, neutral and enemy armies are supposed to have different backgrounds but I have to put them near each other to identify so I always hover over them to check. A lot of map mods are pretty useless, only those that paint most of the map grey (like diplomatic) work for me. Modern Paradox games are already much better at this. I remember pre-patch Victoria 2 having small (*) in red or green to signify if the condition is met.

Groke posted:...and today I learned that Palembang gets a chance to be pirates at the beginning of the game. That should be a fun campaign. It's real easy to flip pirate as most of the SEA countries, so don't feel like you've gotta go with Palembang if there's another one you want to try. Being a pirate is really great in SEA specifically because you get a big naval force limit buff and the regular injection of large lump sums of money to buy all those ships with, which means you don't have to deal with annoying wars where you've got enough soldiers to take on your enemy and their ally, but you don't have a big enough navy to lock all their boats down and ferry your troops around safely. Flipping pirate is also my go-to for playing The Isles, it's very gratifying to ruin the English coastline over and over again.

I'm a big fan of this patch. The crumminess of the Estates mechanic pissed me off gradually every time I played EU4. I never felt I was balancing them against eachother or doing anything but farming Monarch points. Also think the mercenaries have a lot more character, though they seem to make money a little too powerful imo.

I like Estates but by the end, they're not interesting by the end. I know that by design they should lose power and you get this by getting back crown lands and privileges that really helped you at the early game. The problem I have is they're static by the end. I leave +1 MP privileges and other factors help me get to 100 absolutism. I didn't do Court & Country so I could probably get 100 absolutism and have a privilege or two. Those bonuses from estates are hard to grasp cause the game doesn't tell you what happens when influence/loyalty change or what thresholds are. I'm calling the diet from time to time and building a university or something for some additional benefits. I expected there to be some sort of struggle for centralization. My nitpicks are probably invalid cause I'm playing France, one of the easiest countries. But I don't really see how will it be different for other countries. After all by the time absolutism kicks in you are probably not having any existential threats forcing you to speed up absolutism. But maybe if you're going for WC you need all the absolutism as fast as possible. Same thing with mercenaries. They cost a lot but as France, I don't really need them. I imagine that if I'd play as any country that really needs them - especially at the holy wars period when they get really diverse - I'd need a dozen loans to afford them. I know Florrynomics is effective but it always felt like an exploit to me cause AI doesn't use loans well. ilitarist fucked around with this message at 09:42 on Jun 23, 2020 |

SirPhoebos posted:Question for playing Spain: how to I keep the former Aztec and Mayan territories from exploding into revolts every ten years? other than a glacial expansion pace that will end up with the region being stolen by some other european power, you don't. the rebels are generally pretty weak no matter their stack size (though i haven't played the most recent patch) so you just keep an army in the colonies to mop up as necessary.

It can be worth leaving the natives alive as an OPM enclave as well, until your CN get's on their feet; as long as the nation still exists, separatists rebels will have their (terrible) tech levels, and much easier to beat down. If they no longer exist, the rebels will have your tech levels.

SirPhoebos posted:Side question: how does the game determine when overseas territories become a new colonial nation and when it gets added to an existing one? It's by colonial region, a geographic map mode. A colonial nation gets created when you have 5 cores in the same region. Once the nation exists it will automatically own any future provinces you colonize or conquer in that region. https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Colonial_nation

Unless you for some reason have a vested interest in either side winning. Usually better to sit it out, and then pick on some of the exhausted survivors right after.
