Staltran posted:What does expedition organization do in Anbennar? It's the expedition version of discipline, reducing casualties and such. It even starts at a level determined by your national discipline level. I don't recall if it directly influences things like event outcomes or the likelihood of pulling bad ones.

Like if those spiderwebs have trinkets and baubles or live spiders that make a meal of your scouts. IME you don't need to buff it much for bronze dififculty, but should probably boost it as difficulty increases, especially if the dungeon's big. Your starting organization is based on your Discipline, just as starting morale is based on, well, Morale.

It's either bugged or something like: the province was in range due to some colonial range bonus when the colonist was 'sent' and then the colonial range bonus dropped and it was 'out of range'. I know there are like colonial range advisors, but there might be events for it too?

This is due to them forgetting to assign it a port. So the port ended up at the debug province off map. I think you should be able to recall the colonist then let a colonial nation colonize it because they'll have a land connection to their capital.

Not gonna lie, these were 2 of the funnest achievements I've gotten in a while thanks to Riga's Mission tree. The Orders and Novgorod are Vassals. As you can see the mission tree supercharges your capital as long as you have less than 6 provinces in Europe, it also enables 2 very loyal vassals by giving them historical friend status (-50% liberty desire), allows you to gently caress with Lubeck's trade league and make your own, and you can also propagate your non-catholic religion via trade which is normally a Muslim-only feature even.

Double post, double cheevos. God drat this was a mess. No economy, GARBAGE troops, constantly out of mana, no good allies outside the Ottomans for a long time (and then it's a coinflip whether they send troops), just the worst, lmao it was fun.  These are 1683 numbers and going full privateering doesn't feel worth it, you need literal hundreds of ships to get these numbers (admittedly im still missing a few buffs but still), and the treasure ship raids, while great (150-600 ducats per raid), murders your inflation way worse than Gold ever does.

Once I had Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica, I forwarded all my trade to Genoa and made big cash money there. Also people in Europe kept declaring on me and I would sink their navies then just sit on the crossings to Gibraltar and Sicily then laugh all the way to the bank. AAAAA!

I keep forgetting that they exist. But they're slightly weaker than regular troops and you still need a full stack of them to be any useful I think?

This is one of the things that makes me wait for a sequel. Marines and special units are so unnecessary, it's a spaghetti design. I also thought that I'd like new government reforms and estate privilieges, but now there are just too many of them and they don't feel impactful or thematically interesting.

Yeah special units should be handled via ideas/traditions etc. When I'm thinking about Marines as units I often think that they'd be really good for a country that has lots of sailors and lower manpower, but then yeah I just forget that they exist.

special units are the dumbest single feature bloat thing of EU4 dlc you customized your army via ideas? you know, like the whole point of EU4 where you guide your nation instead of being locked into history? lol cool but same ideas, some countries still better. a bavarian can never be a swede. it's like we're rocketing back to EU2 where an Austria game was "speed 5 till your free land rolls in" and Spain was "you own 7/8 of the globe and have 0% inflation? sorry, you just went bankrupt from horrendous inflation, your richest 100% catholic provinces just became a new country that's state religion protestant, get owned lmao" Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Jul 3, 2023 |

I feel like the new Muscovy tree/update makes use of all of that. Your entire army can be made up of special units between streltsy and cossack regiments. You're also kind of forced to work with the boyar estate, and are expected to use several of the cossack privileges but are not forced to. But like as far as the game goes the spaghetti design is everywhere. The entire UI is a mess crammed with buttons and icons that do or not do stuff depending on a bunch of different things, and if you don't already know about them there's nothing in the game that tells you they exist or what you should be doing with them.

Man they really need to make forts bankrupt a nation more (or just loving remove em), getting to level 6+ forts in my current Kazan -> Golden Horde -> Mongol Empire (got the Khaaaannn cheevo  ) game and it's just insufferable poo poo that makes me just wanna speed 5 at peace until 1765ish for the Turn the Tables achievement.This is with regularly rolling 3+ siege generals and a bunch of siege modifiers, the poo poo's just not fun.

in europe at least, historically, forts should be nigh-impossible to take before cannons, then just collapse instantly for the next hundred years, before the siege mechanics become how they work now (with it being like 6-36 months) after star forts are invented

I never mentioned how my not mongol/chinese empire game ended, because I dropped weeks ago out of boredom in like 1650. I tried to game it out on saturday, but I just sat around and did nothing for 100 years besides taking more bites out of whatever was left of the command. The big disaster is also incredibly trivial if you just read the one government reform you have. Overall fun if you want to paint the map, but bad pacing, and uneven since a lot of it depends on when your ruler dies. Anyway, dominating the region gives me a bigger trade note than anything in Cannor. Military hegemon seems nearly impossible or really stupid though, like amassing a million sized army is a gigantic pain in the rear end. Also I guess you can have a lot of artificer capacity if you play long enough, but I never do.

Special units would probably be cool if the UI supported them better. As it is you can only build them from the macro builder, not e.g. from the army screen, and there's no easy way to separate special units from non-special units in an army. E.g. revolutionary guard are really strong, -50% drill loss means capped drill loss (-90%?) with 100% professionalism, and they have -20% fire and shock damage received, so -45% at full drill. But actually using them is just such a pain. It would help a lot if there was a button to replace all non-special infantry in a stack with special units, and you could click the plus buttons in the army screen without the new regiments always being normal units. Also would help if most of them weren't tag-dependent. Also I'm not sure if there's a way to make declaring war not stop all of your armies from drilling, that's really annoying in the late game if you're using drilling (which, honestly, you probably aren't).

Having to keep track of differences between armies is more trouble than its worth. Like optimally you should be constantly splitting and merging stacks but I can't be bothered so I make everything the same template and that means marines aren't that great cause I'll never have an army that's entirely marines Special units that just have an ordinary combat buff, like hussars, are fine, they just mean some of my armies are stronger than others, though I can't be bothered to keep track of which

You either know about it already or need to scour through every part of the menu and tab to see if there's something you can interact with.

I don’t for the life of me understand why special units are exclusively in the macro builder. …With the exception of Banners, right? You still recruit those from the state screen?

Tbh what I'd like is a button which is "build this template, using as many special units as possible". Like, you don't always want that, but that's why it's a separate button. Right now it's annoying if like, I'm Poland in the midgame building 6/9/15 stacks and I have to include hussars by manually huilding them, merging them, then clicking conform to template

marines have a lot of advantages and you should use them if you have them. a single marine unit salted into an otherwise normal stack reduces landing penalties to -1 (equivalent to a river crossing) instead of -2. marines also don't take any attrition at sea at all, so if you have a stack that cruises around your overseas possessions smashing rebels and small tags (which you will, usually) spending your marine force limit on that stack will save you an enormous amount of manpower in the long run, both from no attrition and spending the always-abundant sailors on rebel suppression instead of manpower. they are never going to be great in a straight-up fight but that's not really the point of them

also the disembark speed is cool if youre trying to land, capture an unfortified province to scorch it/force hostile fleet to disembark, and bug out before the enemy can even walk there or if youre trying to block a straight and dont have land army superiority, you can just send the marines to capture one side and use your navy to block without having to actually win a land battle limited usecase for sure; if youre poland marines are probably not helpful Also not for nothing the detach special unit button now exists and you can hotkey it just like anything else (but the UI for this game is rear end, generally) Mr. Grinch fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Jul 4, 2023 |

Eh it's not too hard to get if you get big enough, I had 3.5M last time I played till the end in Anbennar, controlling somewhere between a quarter and a third of the world. Maybe bit over a third. e: It did include all of Cannor + NotIndia and everything between, to be fair. In general I don't think you're the undisputed number one with that little bit of land to count as a real hegemon. Even looking at the development Lorent clearly isn't far off.

When they've added the first special unit (I think it was Streltsy for Russia?) I expected them to just add 4th type of unit eventually. Generic nations would call it Guards or something, and they'd work as elite troops that have some political power and therefore affect stability cost but also have different name and property depending on the government or culture. But instead it's, like, the worst. It makes very little sense that only very specific nations have special units, and they often make little sense. These TAG-specific mechanics are both immersion-breaking and arbitrarily limit gameplay. And yeah, they're buried in the UI.
