cock hero flux posted:fun fact: the lich event is explicitly coded to not allow this: whether it succeeds or fails is determined when you start the project, which will take at least a decade to complete And that's when you edit the event to always give the player a 100% chance. I've lost track of the number of missions and events I've edited because the requirements were unreasonable/required prior knowledge of the MT/chance-based/straight up broken

Save scumming a year isn't a big deal when it's the really huge stuff like that or the magic pregnancy thing.

Every single free vassalization mission has had a point where the dev forgets to make it possible to refuse if the vassalization target is human controlled. Sometimes this is caught before steam release, sometimes it ain't

Sometimes this is caught before steam release, sometimes it ain't and conversely, every "conquer X" mission has had a point where they forgot to make non-tributary vassals count, requiring you to either wait ages to integrate them or cut them loose so that you can turn around and invade them. I PU'd Corvuria in my Luciande game, where your diplo rep is too low to integrate, requiring me to tank the hell out of my country repeatedly so that I could go to war with a country I already owned

atvrager posted:Oh, I fnished this one last night, too! Castile had a regency for like two years, but no Iberian Wedding, can it even happen if you're peasant republic? Since you are locked to a male ruler as a peasant republic, Castile needs to either have a female ruler or a queen regency in order to trigger the event. A regency council doesn't trigger it. Source: just got it in my current playthrough, was doubly lucky as it was a queen's regency of a female heir. It did take a while to trigger, I remember it taking 1-2 years but this one went over the 120 MTTH, it triggered just before or just after the heir ascended to the throne (so 16 years or close to that).

Is there a way to set home/interest points for units? I'm playing the extended timeline mod they're spotlighting this month, and I've essentially reached the GP warring phase of the game before diplo tech has caught up, so every ten years I bite off another 5% of Rome, have to march deep into the Maghreb from barbarian Europe to do it, and honestly have more work clicking to do to rejoin everyone and get them back into their supplied border/unrest hotspot positions afterwards than I do with the actual war.

Anyone know what "have 10 infantry in a cave or surface hold in the tree of stone adjacent to rahen" means? It's part of the Chaingrasper mission tree. Not sure where the tree of stone or rahen is.

Tree of stone is the region of Serpentspine. So you need to have an army of that size in a province that exits out of the mountain into the Rahen region. For chain grasper Rahen would be the part of the map south of it.

Yeah, I made some mistakes that first time because I wasn't familiar with some of the basic gameplay stuff. There's a lot less to micro manage and exploit the computer stupidity than Hearts of Iron. But that doesn't mean that this isn't just another paradox game. Edit: I'd say HoI4 is a lot easier because the computer is still playing EU4 in that game instead of HoI4.

The China History Podcast is a pretty good podcast, though it suffers from a bit of repetition in how the host talks.

 This was a fun one to get, bullying France never gets old. Notes: 1. A Regent named Marie works for this (even though I have a female heir named Marie ready) 2. I have like 200 aggressive expansion with the HRE, they had a coalition at one point of the entire HRE, Italy, England, PLC, and Scandinavia; outnumbered 3:2, never declared. Just don't worry about coalitions because they never act on them. 3. The Marie you get via event feels like she's coded to live longer, mine lasted until 76 4. I'm currently in the Dutch Revolt disaster and holy crap is it a weak disaster, lmao

I'm actually totally down for podcast DLC, as long as it's competently done, and I know the China History podcast is decent at least. $5 for what looks like 4 hours of content isn't bad, especially since it's more directed towards things you'll actually encounter in game.

Am I supposed to be kind of broke as Verkal Ozovar? Patronates don’t pay me poo poo, the trade node is a mess, only source of income is production from the hold really. It’s not like a problem for my survival because of the patronate swarm, but it’s gonna take me forever to build all these mage towers.

Once the patronates estate is enabled there's an estate privilege that makes patronates give you money. you are never told that it exists. if you have the estate already, go set it. if you don't, beeline the mission that enables it and then go set it.

Yeah, I am pretty sure the advice for avoiding it is mostly out of laziness, not concern that it is a hard disaster to deal with. I have avoided more than one disaster purely because I can't be asked to put in the effort of dealing with it, even if it is super easy.

Imperator had some good steps towards this imo, you had to give some of your land to regional governors that you had to manage, and conquering by subjugating and creating vassal states was easier than taking land directly, but left you with a bunch of internal political elites to manage. Managing the demands of the noble houses was very boring though.

it is too easy for major powers to just, completely subjugate cultural groups that aren't in their group regardless of "acceptance". If you own the entire netherlands/italy as austria, they probably should be trying to revolt into their own state unless you're giving them frankly absurd levels of autonomy that no player actually would accept

Looking at some of the insanely brutal anbennar disasters I’ve experienced, they achieve that brutality by having regions immediately break away from your nation, so that it hurts economically as well. (Plus having a free massive army stack of death). Idk, it’s something to look into, as a design space

The difficulty is balancing disasters to not completely murder you every time if you are going into them blind but still provide a challenge if you aren't.
