Did you have lith set to supportive? I was confused for a bit till I has realised I set that. I'm super starved for manpower a Poland after sieging TO/LO forts, that attrition is huge compared to my recovery speed. Also, I've been getting huge lag when changing ducat values in peace deals.

I'm in aachens coalition war against burgandy as England that also includes Austria. Separately, I'm allied to, a recently punched out of France, Toulouse who just got war decced by the papal states who called in austria on their side. What happens to the coalition war if I accept the defensive coa I just got? I would be allied yet against Austria

PittTheElder posted:Nothing as in no war. There's a hard engine limitation that says you cannot be allied in a war with someone, and simultaneously at war with them. Since you would be both of those things with regard to Austria, when you accept the CtA, you remain outside the war. Okay works for me I'd rather not fight another war after back to back wars with France and burgundy

Can anyone think of a group of three powers that could work well together/help learn, presumably they would be in the same geographic area but maybe not! I taught my friend with him being Muscovy and myself sweden (though Denmark might be easier). You could probably throw England in as the third. would probably be fairly easy for beginners

popewiles posted:Just be aware that you'll take a relations hit with other nations that want the same provinces. A handful of overlapping provinces generally isn't a big deal, just be careful not to paint the map red and lose your allies. I wish I could mark a province such that I'd take it in a deal but I don't wanna lose allies over it or some way for the game to tell me what I'm marking is diplomatically dangerous

popewiles posted:I may be completely wrong on this, but I think if you fabricate a claim on a province but don't mark it, then other nations will know that you're interested but don't consider it of vital interest. Oh. I've only played hordes getting crushed by muscovy over and over so far this expansion, so I haven't needed claims yet. Sucks I've gotta waste a diplomat but I guess it's an edge case

Odobenidae posted:In SP it's kind of pointless to mark provinces as vital unless you want your vassal to fabricate claims or unless you're already in a war that you aren't the leader of. If you mark anything while at peace you'll get hosed diplomatically because the provinces you want are probably someone else's vital provinces and you'll have to unclick all of them to get an alliance for example. It wouldn't let me mark provinces against someone I'm already at war with, so I get nothing if I don't declare the war, but otherwise your right that marking provinces is only good for losing allies it feels like

I'm having a hard time getting the ball started as nogai for tartarastan. How large are your cav horde armies at the start? They just make me go broke running like 6 and even more expensive to replace with mercs. Then, even when I win I don't get enough money to not hemorrhage my winnings

TTBF posted:Have troops in an enemy province and not moving. It will tick over at the beginning of each month. There's a green bar on the little province view that pops up when you click on a province (to the left of development if I remember right) which shows you how much loot is left. Hovering over the bar will show you the current loot, the maximum loot, and how much your troops are looting per month. Oh man looting makes a huge difference. I started a Manchurian tribe run instead and formed manchu by 1500 and wrecked an exploded ming/korea team. (Then rebels broke me cause manchu doesn't take tengri which dropped my unity to 30% while I was overextended)

Otherwise yeah, usually full on for war and full off during peace (assuming no imminent rebellions). Does the ai check maintenance when seeing an opportunity for dowimg? I've always kept it at halfway just in case

 Nothing too crazy but Im proud of my Qing run so far in 1658 though I think I might be done. Ming exploded ten years in which really helped. Allied Wu immediately cause they were a thorn in a previous attempt and used them along with my super troops to hold people from beating my face in until I could complete Humanism to roll everyone with constant war. Once it clicked how to horde good combined with Manchu's crazy idea set, its pretty easy sailing. I'm currently allied to Persia and Wu and been gobbling up Japan, India, and Indonesia. Russia is still neutral to me so far, but im not look forward to dealing with more europeans even though we're at mil tech pairity. I'm thinking my next game might be the cheevo for TO conquering and converting Russia Catholic as it seems on the same tier as qing. How do you get TO into the HRE again?

Dry Hump posted:Tip beggar here, does anyone have any good strategies for Mongolia going for The Great Khan? I tend to try to get support for independence from Uzbek, but even after I get free Ming tends to just warn/eat me. I dream of a day of seeing all these exploded Mings I see in this thread happen for me during a game. It won't help you probably but for my qing run, ming beat up oirat and grabbed a sizable bunch of provinces. This is secretly their doom however cause of the OE RR it brings with it causes all the Chinese minors to revolt at once

Then muscovy chased and destroyed right before i could get there causing me to wipe. If you had just stayed by me and attacked with me uzbeck we could have won  edit: haha they did it again but literally by sending just 1 and 2 stacks past kazan right into the moscovy forces over and over. why uzbeck ImPureAwesome fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Jan 10, 2016 |

YouTuber posted:Ok, so I'm a decent sized Empire. I have 15 loans out ranging from 700-1000 ducats. With everything cut back to the bone I make about 15 ducats a month. Interest alone is about 35. Should I just sit back and try paying this all off or should I intentionally auger the finances and go into default? It's about 1680 so there is a high chance of going Revolutionary if I time it correctly. This game has not been going in my favor for sure. I just lost a coalition war and had to release a few OPM in the Balkans, Tunis and release Trebizond. Any small trade rich country pinatas you could beat up nearby? Thats what I tend to do
