Poil posted:There should be a button which says "join" there. If you want to join the HRE you press the join HRE button. It used to be that you pressed add province to join but it was changed at some point. They added a button to add all your provinces, too. At least a couple of patches ago, if you were a non-member that got elected, you had to explicitly add at least your capital or you still weren't a member.

I havent played since they changed Estates, whats the strat here? Grab crown land whenever possible, turn it into +1 policies?

Early game get into +1 Mana for the estates that provide it and snatch crown land back whenever you have the chance. Snag other nice bonuses as you run across them. Once Absolutism rolls around you dump relying on Estates so your max increases.

At first I just got the +1s and whatever else I felt like whenever crown land wouldn't go below 30, but I've discovered that especially if you plan to dev up renaissance you might as well grab them on day 1 and just deal with lovely income for a while. It ends up paying for itself pretty rapidly.

And the various Monopolies you can give out are super worth it. The Supremacy Over The Crown privilege you can give to the Nobles sounds stupid, but it's crazy good, it's a happiness boost for all of them and you get more Diets, which means more Diet completion awards. You can also just give out all the +1s right away if you want, there's an event that will take you up to 30 CL if you're below 5 or 10.

Decided to knock out some of the custom nation chevos Europe was funny, Austria got the inheritance and reduced France to an OPM by 1550. Russia started strong but was eventually made into an Oirat trib. Once done I figured I'd form Inca and knock out A Sun God too but for some reason it doesn't show up in the list. Also didn't religious ideas use to have a 2nd missionary? It was annoying do this with 2 missionaries.

It still does, first idea in the line is +1 Missionary. E: oh a second +1 Missionary in the idea group you mean? That does sound familiar, waaaay back in the day

Imo take all the +1 estates on day one, plus the ones that boost loyalty and do nothing else, plus the one that autocalls diets. Plus whatever else looks good. Then sell off whatever's left. Take statuatory rights when that event pops. Mana is worth far more than 20 years of autonomy and then you're permanently in the clear on crownland. Plus high influence loyal estates give sweet buffs on top of the actual estate privileges. e: also get two vassals asap for Strong Duchies, it's basically free dip slots.

drat a Mamluk war really drains my manpower. Of course, I'm just having manpower issues in general. I feel like I just can't get it to replenish fast enough, which is not a problem I had as the Aztecs with quantity ideas. Although it probably doesn't help that I keep calling for war when my manpower is only like 30-40% recovered. I also keep flirting with a Coalition forming against me, but nothing major has formed since the one from my last post finally dissolved which was something like 15+ nations. Instead what happens is like 2-4 countries join a coalition while I'm in the middle of a war that isn't bordering them and then after a few months they all leave it. I also had to end my alliance with France after my 2nd Mamluk war (which got me western Anatolia) because I was out of manpower and only had about 50k troops total and I got a warning that Spain was going to attack France. It's kind of to bad because I might have been able to get some of the Spanish land in either southern Italy or the western Mediterranean isles, but I'll just have to work on that later. I've completely ignored exploration ideas and decided that my ultimate goal for this game is to control every single province that has a port on the Mediterranean. Most of them are part of my mission goals anyway.

Ottomans? Consolidate infantry regiments after battles, spam janissaries. (Focus military mana.)

# ? Feb 22, 2021 19:41 |

It sort of feels to me, that not only should forts be insanely expensive, even hard limited in how many you can maintain, but taking one should be something that happens like every 50 years or so. Taking highly developed forts in the 1500s was a monumental event, and not something that happened constantly. Or maybe my sense of time is so spazzed out in EU4, since sieges do last years upon years if you're unlucky, but are gone in the blink of a speed 5 eye.

Actually that leads me to a question: does the AI way overvalue artillery or am I missing something because it seems like they always have some crazy amount of cannons. Like I've seen AI 30k stacks that have like 20k cannons in it. But then they field like 3 of those kind of armies. I know calvary use should be limited, but am I just not using enough artillery? If you were to make a 30 stack of troops what would be the mix? I usually do 15 inf/5 cav/10 art and i feel like it's sufficient for the midgame part. I'm taking just in general and not considering any special bonuses.

use a few cannons to get siege bonii early game and then tech 16 your entire full width of backrow should be arties. front row should be full width inf with a few more in the stack to cycle out so the arties don't move to the front row

Like I've seen AI 30k stacks that have like 20k cannons in it. But then they field like 3 of those kind of armies. The amount of artillery you should have depends on tech level. 10/0/20 is obviously a stupid combo, and yeah the AI does tend to do that a lot; I think they're trying to use them for sieges and then getting confused? But if you're at tech 15 or 16 where the artillery bonuses really kick in, you'd want to do something like 16/4/10 or even 18/0/12 (the reason to bring more infantry is that they will die more than arty as you campaign; for major battles you'll want to bring multiples of that army together to make sure the backline is filled with artillery).

Ok good, so it seems like I'm pretty much on the right track but could probably use a few less cavalry regiments and a few more artillery regiments. And I always try to keep my armies close enough to support each other during an invasion because it's just good strategy.

Another question about the Burgundian inheritance - if its Charles with Marie as heir do you need to maintain a good relationship and royal marriage with them? Because Ive restarted and them holding onto imperial land is messing with my authority but I dont want to go to war with them if it will ruin my chances.

Sri.Theo posted:Another question about the Burgundian inheritance - if its Charles with Marie as heir do you need to maintain a good relationship and royal marriage with them? There's a bunch of multipliers to the AI's choice weighting based on relations and other conditions. In general though you want to be over 100 relations at all times and hopefully they have rivaled the other major claimant - France or the Emperor. The rivaled one is almost certainly SOL as it's a huge hit to weighting. Looking through the event real quick it also seems the Emperor get a nice 2x weight multi for marriage and another for alliance. While the french only have a bonus for being over 100 opinion and the rest are reliant on (burgundy's) rivals and rep with the Emperor. E: Here's the exact event block for the Emperor being chosen to inherit. code:
