I assumed the two personal unions thing was almost solely for Austria to make up for their inability to colonise while cementing their place as a major power of the era. With you on the 5 CoTs though, that makes no sense whatsoever if it doesn't include CNs. Only place that's realistically possible without a CN is, what, southern India?  Guess it's far from finalised, though

Speaking of wasteland/uncolonised territory terrain, they really really really need to give us the option to turn it off because it's horrible and terrible and I hate it  Like yeah I love to go from knowing immediately whether Mauritius is colonised or not to now having no loving clue because the terrain colour is really close to Castile's, great, thanksOr how about not being able to gauge immediately the borders between what's colonisable and what's wasteland in central Africa because everything's covered in trees that generally cover up the borders, wonderful I am an unreasonably annoyed by it for something so innocuous but gdi it's just hiding information from me that I used to be able to see intuitively and immediately

That WC vid was talking about developing in your subjects' provinces... do you need Rights of Man for that or something? Or else how do you do it? The buttons are greyed out for me, just says "You cannot Improve <whichever> in a province that you do not own"

Koramei posted:I forget the specifics, but I know for sure that the normal estate-negating-autonomy thing doesn't work on gold, and I'm pretty certain it doesn't give you a bonus to production even aside from that. It probably won't hurt you but there's not really any benefit to it either. Yeah Burghers provide production efficiency, which has no impact on gold, although if they're loyal they do provide a 10% goods produced bonus. I would've thought they didn't negatively impact gold production, but they actually do. Some numbers, from day 1 as Hungary (all provinces right culture, right religion, with burghers loyal): With 0% autonomy, their gold province gives 2.66 gold in production. Assigning to burghers takes it to... 2.20. I assigned a grain province, also with 0% autonomy, to the burghers, and production went from 0.18 to 0.20, as you'd expect. Next up, I gave the burghers the gold province but gave it 100% autonomy... got absolutely nothing from it at all. Even after a monthly tick. So it looks like autonomy affects gold production directly -- it doesn't change goods produced, so it has to affect it somehow, obviously. But since the burghers only ignore production efficiency, which doesn't impact gold, the autonomy floor takes away a quarter of your gold production, instead of being waived like it is for every other trade good. The 10% goods produced bonus will never outweigh that. That feels like a bug/oversight, tbh, but for now you definitely shouldn't give them any gold provinces. Not even at high autonomy.

PleasingFungus posted:Er, surely the burghers won't do any harm at high autonomy? No, but they'll offer literally no bonuses (except trade power I guess but  ), unlike the other two estates. You could just give it to one of them and then revoke it once autonomy's hit the floor and gain, you know, full taxes/manpower that entire time.

PleasingFungus posted:the only reason i ever give things to the burghers is for trade power (or, rarely, when fiddling around with loyalty...), so that seems just as applicable for high-autonomy gold provinces as for others. ...uh, yeah? I was adding to a conversation about, specifically, auto-giving gold provinces to the burghers. But that wouldn't be the case if that bug was squashed, and is in fact uneqiuvocally worse than any other trade good province or estate choice because of it right now.

Node posted:What do you mean by this? Institutions are still a new thing to me. Every time you develop a province, you get some progress towards that province adopting an institution. So every 50 years when the new institution unlocks, you dump a bunch of your monarch points to get one province to adopt it so it can spread through your country. That way 1) you don't have to wait for Europeans to show up, and 2) you can dump your monarch points into something that benefits you instead of burning them because of the institution penalty. (Generally going up to about 39 dev is enough to make them adopt, in my experience.)

The reason nations probably don't want your condottieri is because you don't have land access to their capital. If you get enough military access treaties going until you can then they'll show you what they're actually willing to pay.

Chin Strap posted:Can someone explain to me when it is correct to add things to trade companies versus keeping them as states? My last game as Castille I added everything I could to trade companies but I'm guessing there is a better rule of thumb. Honestly assigning everything you can to its trade company is fine. Forgoing the extra merchant is a huge sacrifice versus merely getting full tax & production, especially considering how poor much of that land is, and the fact you can reach the state limit in the far richer lands of Europe.

Did they change the shadow kingdom lately? Because it was always better to let Italy leave the HRE: cheaper to take those incredibly highly developed lands for yourself while also giving you a heap of provinces to re-add to the HRE for IA boosting. Is that not the case anymore? I haven't played since the expansion though so

You don't even have to decolonise land, you can straight transfer it, although it doesn't keep changes to cores (I tried giving Ming to Ryukyu and started with 1100% OE ). Still makes Byzantium a hell of a lot easier though.

I'm going to try and eradicate (or union them, if I'm that lucky) them before the game ends, but they are huge. Either way, I figure that by being the last russian state standing, I followed the spirit of the achievement, so whatever, I still did what I set out to do: make Ryazan beat the snot out of Muscovy with my dumb Tverian personal union tactic. You could also try turning them revolutionary I guess, just get them to 20 WE and taking out loans and then white peace

Hoovering up the Anatolian minors means you can't get any spread at all
