They did mess around with Estates and add governing capacity, but while they are both pretty big changes, they're rather easy to wrap your head around and in the case of estates, a 'uge improvement.

Groke posted:Welp, got that rare-rear end "form Maya as Huastec" achievement (0.3% of players according to Steam) and it wasn't even hard because you can cheese it. You don't need to fiddle with force-converting to do this, by the way. You can just pass all five reforms, conquer an animist tribe, release it as a vassal (to change its govt type) and then dev push the institution in the vassal's provinces and reform off of the vassal.

I was watching a chewyshoot stream today and it turns out he's a massive Ben Shapiro-loving chud. That's disappointing. His politics rarely come up in his content but he was parroting talking points about the people recently shot at the protest in Kenosha and also making excuses for the nazis today so I'm now very conflicted about giving him views  Also, I just learned that Texas is a tag and it has pretty good ideas. I've never played a colonial nation before but I'm tempted once I finish my forever golden run. Which is getting dull because Spain is insanely strong. I outranked Ming and Ottos by like, 1520.

is it just me, or does 'block settlement growth' in your subject menus do jack poo poo? I have to build a church in bani but carribias (inherited from portugal, now my subject, in case that affects things???) has been developing that place for approx the last hundred years and shows no sign of slowing down even at 27 dev with zero buildings might just release them then fight to take it back - but I'm gonna be pretty salty about it!

If you're not in iron man you can fix it with the console by switching over to controlling them and then back. Remember to save before and do not under any circumstances unpause the game while doing it (unless you really want to reload the save and do it again). You do not want the AI in control of your country for even a single day tick.

Looks like "build a church you fu" (recently renamed from caribias) is about to go through some tumultuous diplomatic times I guess I could go for one faith, too - is the requirement that every single province in the world needs to be colonized and my religion?

How do I ram up IA in the current build? I just have to punch England and pass Erbkaisertum in my forever golden run except woops... I thought the universal monarchy mission was just "be emperor" and now I have to fix this dumb empire and pass a fuckload of reforms.

If I remember correctly you can also disband the empire for that mission which is a lot easier than trying to get reforms passed. Need to have the capital of the emperor occupied and all the electors either your subject or their capitals occupied

Each time you get re-elected you get 10 IA, so always keep your Monarch on the front lines. The Expand the Empire CB works now as well, and gives huge amounts of IA (also AE). Those and Incidents are the only way to get it in chunks I think. Other than that just spend all your time enforcing 100% religious unity and wait for it to tick up. There's a bunch of IA growth modifiers in the reform tree, but they might be after whatever you need.

Baby’s first Ironman campaign for me is with England and it’s 1640 and I’m the #1 great power making piles of money with me owning northern France and Gascony as a subject owning most of the rest of France. I’ve got all of eastern North America, the Caribbean, Colombia, coastal west Africa, and now expanding into the spice islands. The Church of England thing where you can abolish the monasteries every year or two for 600 ducats seems horribly broken but I’m not complaining. I think I need to clean up some of Portugal’s Indian Ocean/Indonesian possessions and then move into India-is there any particular strategy there? With my merchants it is best to have long chains of them right? And controlling the Ivory Coast is still the secret to trade $$$$$? I haven’t played a global trading kind of game in a long time. Should I core and state everything as long as I have governing capacity, or is there a reason to leave scattered stuff (all these damned islands I keep stealing from Portugal) as territories? Even if I leave it a territory I should still core it, right?

You should absolutely core everything, otherwise you're sitting on overextension for no reason. Don't state anything though, the new meta is to make basically everything you can outside of your home region into trade companies, both for the additional merchants and because the TC buildings are still bonkers OP.

everything outside western europe, turn into a trade company. Everything in western europe, turn into a state (and spam courthouses/state houses - I was wrong to ignore these, especially when you're swimming in money) If you've got total garbage islands somewhere you're never going to touch again then leave them as a territory, but in general if you're going to grow in an area, turn it into a trade company you want long chains of merchants, yes. IMO the important nodes to control are (in order most to least) ivory coast, carribean, malaccas, then the south indian one (bengal?). then just go nuts since you'll have infinity money

Private Speech posted:How did you win against France? I have trouble with HYW even if I can ally (and pull into war, since it's offensive from the event) Burgundy and Aragon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJB0BLzTprA Basically, exploit all your mil development/increase autonomy to gain manpower and lower force limit, release Normandy/Gascony and give them all your continental lands and enable scutage so they aren't involved in the war. By exploiting dev/lowering autonomy/releasing vassals you can instantly accomplish the 'rebuild our army' mission before even unpausing which gives conquest CB on Scotland. Declare that war ASAP and now you are just at war with france (who has nothing to attack unless they invade by sea, which you can defeat) and scotland. Beat up scotland, then go park your 30 stack on Paris until you capture Paris, finish the mission that gives you a PU claim on france (I never went to war with them over this), white peace france, vassalize scotland. I think I got lucky with some events that boosted stability and got an heir so the War of the Roses never fired. I declared bankruptcy later in the game and that caused both Scotland and Normandy to declare independence and that was not a good time. France declared on newly independent Normandy and took half their land, so when I eventually did win the indendence wars, I got a much smaller Normandy. However, all those remaining Norman cores and all the gascony cores were good low AE CBs to lop of more of France once I allied Austria and Castille and France was momentarily without many allies. France has like 3 states now and it  Speaking of Castille, do they have some insane land combat bonuses or merc bonuses? In a mid 1500s war with them I got stomped anytime our armies fought, even if I outnumbered them 1.5-2:1 and we both had 2 star generals. Their army was mostly mercs, same tech level. In hindsight I may have done some dumb attacking across rivers into mountains in one of those fights, but it scared the poo poo out of me. Are quality and offensive still the best mil techs?

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:I did this slightly cheesy opening: Oh that sounds like a good strategy! Never thought of abusing scutage like that. Though I'd, uhh, hesitate to call that only slightly cheesy (they specifically patched making vassals from French holdings to avoid the normal war event as an exploit some time back). Still probably will give it a go myself, the standard war is brutal. It's around 3-4 times my manpower and troops, and I can only call in allies by promising them land since it's offensive.

I thought they used to balance the game around the HYW being unwinnable for England? Maybe it's changed, but I had a vague sense that they always wanted England to lose the HYW and then you'd start by rebuilding from there.
