They go Jadd pretty often and it's always great to see. Usually it's followed shortly by a massive implosion and the normal religion will return with the successor states.

You've unified the tribes and been effortlessly steamrolling people, then stop to wait for truce timers. Your empire then explodes because you have no zeal and multiple hordes rise up, which you have to quickly murder before you run out of manpower. The trick is to get the mission that gives +5 stab on declaring war and simply never stop invading.

More cheevos    Notes: -I did Beylik thunderdome cause frankly that's more fun than an Ottoman start. -I didn't take influence because I didn't need the liberty desire idea with lenient taxation, leviathan, and strong duchys providing -35%

I’ve been playing this game off and on since release and I’m pretty sure at this point I only use or understand like half the systems in the game.

The two things I want in a sequel are for them to rework advisors so I don't have to fire a dozen dudes in order to get the one I need, and to remove the special AI attraction beacon on Corfu that makes it irresistible to my war allies

my big wish for EU5 would be more control over how trade flows but with fewer modifiers and mechanisms internal to the trade system (ie what the gently caress is caravan power? and what does a trade steering bonus actually do compared to a trade power bonus? and what does trade steering actually abstract within the simulation?). Specifically, I dislike the hard coded end node system, and I think that there should be (clearer) bonuses and benefits for having trade pass through your territory even if you don't necessarily monopolize.

I want dynamic trade so you can properly model the silk road being bypassed by sailing around Africa. I also want army supply lines and anything to represent the difficulty European armies had actually projecting force into the Americas. It shouldn’t be possible for the AI to send their entire force limit to fight in Mexico.

If your 30yr war is going more than 2 years past it's historical end date of 1648 it's bad and deserves to end right there.

Problem with that is then you have to make them stronger than the natives again, or they won't project power at all.

Trade having 8+ modifiers all called trade something and merchant something is really pointlessly confusing, especially now there's a tier of govt reforms where you have to pick between different trade bonuses. I have no idea what the difference between them even is.

I think changes to trade in EU5 is a given. The game has walked a long road to acknowledge that Chuckchi tribe conquering the world is a valid outcome and the trade system is one of the few things that doesn't acknowledge this possibility. In a way Imperator-style narrative mission trees will also work great and I feel what we have in EU4 now is a placeholder for that. We will never get proper Chuckchi (or think of other 200 playable factions) narrative support for the whole playthrough, but we can have Imperator-style generated mission trees that get some additions/replacements in them based on the region, culture, religion, power status etc. And completely unique mission trees and events can always be added in flavor packs, of course. I can think of little other reasons for a sequel. UI and graphics are old, true, but this doesn't sound like a reason enough. I understand unlike CK2 technical issues are more or less resolved and Tinto made a good job of fixing a lot of technical debt. Hard to imagine EU5 being some grand reimagining, this series is too important for PDX so I expect them play safe, and it probably means we'll wait for a long time.

Tbh one of the big flaws of I:R was that it didn't really distinguish itself, because it was mostly iterating on EU4 systems. I'd be happy with an EU5 that took IR as a starting point, with the noble family stuff stripped out and the trade refined a bit more. The stupid feature I'd love for EU5 would be a proprietary canal building system, as it is set during the golden age of canals. I'm not sure how they'd do it, though. Maybe making all of the existing rivers on the map into splines, and then letting players add branches to them as canals.

It seems Paradox is determined to bring 3D portraits to all of their games now so I'd be OK with some character representation. I appreciate what CK3 does but I want a strategy game with characters, not a dollhouse with a map attached, and I:R systems make me much more invested in characters. Keeping a good general loyal and dealing with insane king blunders is all the character interaction I want out of my strategy game, and I think even I:R could strip away some of the stuff like families and their desire to hold a specific number of offices.

So thinking about it a bit more, the trade system would be improved by linking it to commoddity prices and creating passive demand networks as a consequence of the development and available goods in any given province - basically simulating the Joseph Addisson idea:quote:The fruits of Portugal are corrected by the products of Barbadoes: the infusion of a China plant sweetened with the pith of an Indian cane. The Philippick Islands give a flavour to our European bowls. The single dress of a woman of quality is often the product of a hundred climates. The muff and the fan come together from the different ends of the earth. The scarf is sent from the torrid zone, and the tippet from beneath the pole. The brocade Petticoat rises out of the mines of Peru, and the diamond necklace out of the bowels of Indostan. If sticking on the current EU4 tripartite mana/dev system, high admin development would produce demand for certain goods (paper, incense, idk), high diplo would produce for others (salt, naval supplies), high mil for yet others (iron, copper) and then total development for luxury goods and things of that nature. Likely other factors could drive demand and price too, such as religion, gov forms, or other events. When an area demands a good the price goes up, which affects production profits. If that good has to go a long distance, that creates trade, which gets routed, and the routes have certain passive effects of their own which could be manipulated - i.e. if heavy trade is going from Malacca to Sevilla via Zanzibar, East Africa, South Africa, Kongo, and Ivory Coast would get bonuses as it passes. Within the current system that could be eg institution spread, tech cost, and maybe even free dev.
