Elman posted:Colonial nations are in vanilla now, same as protectorates and other features in that patch. As far as I know Conquest of Paradise has nothing but North American native improvements and random new world at this point. That's something, but it's the last DLC I'd recommend. don't you ned CoP to request nations to support your independence? without you're in a very hard spot to play as holland.

There are just so few tiles. Honestly if I were to play a game with random new world again, I'd rather be able to use the old system. The results were usually dumb as hell but at least they were interesting, and you got actual continents. I've memorized all the notable tiles in the new system and the ones that I haven't are all generic as hell.

I think the biggest problem with Random New World is the lack of serious continents. Even that spine of the world one, despite at least trying something weird and different, is still substantially smaller than the Americas which leads to a ton of just blank empty ocean. I tried a couple RNW setups when they did the revamp and apart from the spine one and another one that had three continents that together made up a proper New World, more often than not it was just a few small isolated islands here and there and half a planet of empty ocean. North and South America are actually really big, and parts of them get surprisingly close to Europe/Africa. You tend not to get that with the random new world.

It all just feels like a much shittier version of the spice islands/Polynesia that really doesn't feel like a "New World" as much as "Oh hey, the Indies really do just kind of keep going!"

Anyone encountered a bug where a non-allied nation will join a war? When I go to declare on Commonwealth it says Spain will join on their side, even though neither shows as allied to or guaranteeing the other. Neither is in the HRE either and there is no coalition against me. Declaring on Spain won't call Commonwealth. Not running any mods.

For a good RNW you just need to add mod tiles. I got a full continent that was roughly the size of North + South America, and a bunch of islands roughly the sizes of the British Isles and Japan. Colonizing is inherently boring, though, and there isn't much helping that.

It should say if you hover over the little green check-mark on the belligerent list. At least I'm pretty sure it does.

His current run he's on very hard, taking the opm island nation hormuz (its between timmy and oman) and conquering every island in the game including the British Isles and Japan.

Oddly enough it actually comes to his rescue a bit later, although like we were saying before he might have never found himself in the situation where he needed that if he'd just taken defensive.

He's really, really good at playing the naval game this time. He knows when to blockade straits, and when to lead superior forces into a trap. Having vastly stronger heavies allows his weaker ground forces to simply gobble up enemy territory, as their troops are blocked by his fleet. He still makes some horrible mistakes, mind you, but when he took a break, he was much more focused.

Yeah I've been taking loans from both Portugal and Venice with like 2% interest to fuel my growth faster and to avoid increasing inflation as well. Also if you guys been missing out on it I highly recommend you watch it, great fun and you get a better "face" on the developers. We are stupid gamers like the rest and love to play the game ourselves. You also have the added bonus that you get to see all the new features.

Is it possible to switch from an imported merchant republic into one of these or another kind of democratic republic? Edit: Without a violent revolt that is.
