They should just let you parcel out your property in a will before you die instead of the random retard poo poo they do now.

yeah the way it normally worked in real life is if you could afford it your first 2-3 sons would get some land and the others would just get some cash or horses and armor and told to go do their thing

I don;t even care about all of your sons getting stuff but...I hate not having control over who gets what, especially if it's gonna mess with ducal borders.

Let me get this straight - they are trying to introduce anti-blob mechanics in an expansion names after one of the greatest French rulers of all time who ruled France at one of its Big Blue Blobbiest times???



It fell apart though...which is what they want to happen naturally in game.

I think my favourite change is that annoying republic event that made you lose republic tradition or monarch points now gives you republic tradition of you choose the monarch point option.

What do y'all recommend I do with Netherlands now that I formed them...It's like 1525 and I took colonisation 3rd and I think I can get the jump on India, but I dunno if getting North American scraps might be worth it too.

It won't be. Just focus on getting all the money of india and the orient over to the netherlands imho. Do you have Res Publica? I kinda wanna check out the new Dutch government mechanics.



Oh yeah that reminds me... in Art of War they're removing the western europe node (thank god)

Yeah I do. I can't tell what changes are from that DLC and can't be bothered looking them up, but I really like monarch point focus. Also probably gonna let Calvinism take over to try out the fervour thing.

Reformed is so epic now. I really like switching my fervour focus. Trade focus is so good in peace, but the war and stab bonuses have their place too. I used the stab one when I first switch and I had a single revolt that came from an event.

You can;t even do that awesome start where you'd overwhelm them with galleys bfore you blockaded them with one ship per port until they died from rebels anymore.

Just had a cool early war against Austria as venice. I attacked Ferrara thinking that Austria might not join because htye were fighting Burgundy, but the fuckers joined any way. I actually got completely wiped, but managed to restore my army in Venizia with mercs and steal Ferrara and then Wien before peacing out with a hearty lol. I think the only thing that really saved me from gettign my rear end kicked was the morale bonus from Aristocrats faction.

I always forget that the AI takes zero naval attrition instead of just having a maximum blockade range or something so I get poo poo like Denmark blockading Ragusa at dip tech 3. Someone please smash the Wiz's head in with a cinder block.

I lost a war against ottomans and they made me give up core on Albania and release Corfu...but jokes on them I conquered Corfu when the truce ran out!!! I also alliance chained Cyprus by attacking Athens, and Rhodes joined in too so My Byz vassal is getting buff. I keep Cyprus to fabricate tho.

also to that other guy, ya i had sunset invasion on. they killed all the north african muslims for me but took insane losses so i just walked in and cleaned up. there's only one province that even made it to aztec culture.

Byz start was possible a few patches ago...I've done it twice. I'm doing Venice now though.

i got insta-conquered by ottomans but then i restarted and they went to war with the hordes instead, so they were distracted. one of the black sea minors conquered one of my cores so i jumped in and annexed their whole lovely nation. i feel like its gonna be a long string of battles like that, where i just beat up some poo poo-idiot that got missed by the ottomans

There is literally no downside to mercantilism. Crank it really high and increases the TP you get from provinces. It's really good if you own the CoTs and Estuaries.
