To be really hyper efficient about it, take the claims bordering claims age ability and use that to get a war declaration on any site of reformation and force religion in victory. For nations that are too large, annex the relevant province and convert. Even if you get only 3/6 of them the reformation will be pathetically small. If you get enough of them there won't even be a league war and some mildly weird poo poo will happen as the game kinda goes crack/ping on it's HRE event script and the pope will get pissed off at you for being too soft as you'll never have a chance to make Catholicism the official hre religion even though you literally stabbed every heretic to death.

My Austria/Revoke/One Faith WC I completely snuffed the reformation as above by using CBC and going two steps deep on my war dec to get into a war with some central german OPM site of reformation - totally worth it.

Ok another question on HRE mechanics since it has been a bit. Can I as emperor attack members since I have permanent claims or is that ill advised?

Whether or not you want to depends on your goals. If you intend to revoke, then you should strive to have as many countries as possible in the HRE, to generate imperial authority. If you're just temporarily emperor but you don't really care longterm, then this is a good chance to conquer the free cities.

Instead of running through northern Italy, I should retake the Italian States and add them to the HRE?

Do some planning ahead once you're getting into the Balkans, Anatolia, North Africa, and Russia as to which members/vassals will get the land, particularly if you can release a few who have good mil ideas so that their armies are strong later in the game. E.g. if Prussia exists, feed them so they're your largest subject.

The French revoke plan you probably want to take the path where you make best buddies with the Pope and eventually just get the entirity of Italy as Papal States as a vassal though.

Tinto Talks #11 An overview of the military. Things seems very similar for now, with the exception of the addition of CK-style levies and a new 'auxiliary' unit type. Manpower remains a distinct resource from population, representing trained soldiers, and is used to maintain regiments as well as create them (meaning manpower gain serves as the effective force limit for your army). Losses in battle and to attrition are translated into pop losses. At the end it mentions separate talks on the combat system and logistics. If those have been overhauled it would be a far bigger shift in how combat works than we've seen so far.

Service aristocracies were hella common. I think you might be reading too much into "CK-style" there. We haven't actually been given much information about how they function at all. The DD says they're raised from pops, which means the reference point is probably more properly Imperator. And every pop belongs to an estate, so it's levies from estates by proxy. Whether different types of pop will give different qualities of troop, or more or less troops for a given quantity of population, or whether they can refuse to serve if their estate is unhappy- these are all questions we don't actually have answers to yet. Unless Johan has addressed them in the replies already, which he probably has.

Yeah that's a fair point, hadn't considered that angle of raising from estates indirectly as it were. Now that you mention it that would be a nice solution, assuming you can selectively raise by estate anyway (peasants are for working not fighting after all).

Personally all for a system that makes the growth of the state as an institution feel meaningful, as opposed to EU4 where you are a fully formed Westphalian state from the jump with only a few trappings to indicate that this isn't the case; I've always wanted a game where playing as a revolutionary republic felt meaningfully different than a post-feudal administrative monarchy. It'll definitely make the Anbennar mod for this a lot more interesting, after waiting like ten yeas for it.

I tried out the Aztecs and it's a bit hard to tell what the MT wants me to do, as it seems like to keep doom down I should be taking not many or any provinces, and just focus on vassalising, but the MT seems to sort of expect me to be taking provinces for myself. Kinda cool in any case. I tried out the Incas too and it's nice to have more of a tree for them, even if they suffer from the same old issue of having a fun first 20 years of rushing to form them and then a pretty uneventful campaign of fighting weak European colonies and colonising south America.

For anyone trying the new Austrian mission tree: there's a bug with the Poland PU mission where you won't get the restoration of union CB unless Poland is eligible for a PU, on top of the stated requirement of them having <400 total development between them and their subjects. This means that if they have Lithuania, you can't get the CB. I know, a bug in a mission tree that would be instantly spotted by anybody playing a single campaign with the featured country? Shocker There's a few workarounds: 1) savescum so they stay in the interregnum until you finish your war with Bohemia. Click the mission to to get the CB, then let them get Lithuania. 2) wait for them to form Commonwealth before clicking the mission. 3) cut Poland down so much that Lithuania declares independence. PU Poland during that war to get called into a defensive war against Lithuania, then win that war as well.

Winds of Change actually has a positive review ratio on steam right now, which is astonishing for a new Paradox DLC. I haven't played EU4 in a couple years, but have they really turned things around with the new expansions, or have we just gotten to the point where all the haters have been weeded out?

I heard you like maps This "Tinto Maps" series feels like it more clearly encapsulates the purpose of this weird slow-roll announcement. They clearly lay out what they want feedback on: maps are hard, surely we've made some mistakes, let's fix them together before we actually launch. And if you filter by dev posts, Pavia has four or five times gone "thanks for the suggestion, I've forwarded it to the team". The core game mechanics are much harder to change on a whim according to forums feedback (though they've made at least two changes already that I've noticed), but shifting some borders slightly so that people from all over the world can go "wow! they got my home exactly right!" is the exact kind of thing that outsources well to internet nerds
