There really needs to be a way to sort by development cost in the build manager. That poo poo is annoying to search through.

Pooned posted:Why is the aggressive expansion so low? I vassalied Pomerania in the first war as BB and i got 17 AE? Expanding seems very easy now regarding AE. Expansion is easier in terms of AE, but the monarch point cost is a lot more expensive. 10 ADM/DIP per development point is pretty high, and also the discount for having a claim is now only -10%. I'm starting to wonder if this change didn't tip things too far in favor of vertical growth.

The main reason diplo-annexing is expensive now is because diplo points are now actually worth a drat for other things.

There are a lot of UI issues that are really frustrating me. The fort mapmode doesn't show zones of control, making it nearly useless. I can't sort the building manager by development cost, so I have to search for the cheapest province. The buildings tab of the ledger has been completely removed for some reason, so I can't use that anymore. Like, if I wanted to build a barracks, I'd like to be able to easily find which province has the highest military development. I thought I'd be able to do something like that in the ledger, but instead I have to search all over the map for which province gives me the biggest manpower increase. Things are just really tedious right now.

Let's say I wanted to colonize the Eastern Seaboard as the Ottomans. What would be the quickest way to make this happen? I'm doing it all for a stupid pun.

I guess that would work. I wouldn't be able to core the Canaries until dip 7, though I'd need that for colonization anyway. e: also the latest patch made it so you can't take provinces that you can't core, right?

ABC Always Be Converting, even if you're tolerant. Tolerance towards heathens and heretics only goes up to +3, while tolerance of the true faith has no limit. The more true faith provinces you have, the more resilient you are to rebellion, while keeping the heathen/heretic provinces gives you nothing. And converting costs nothing but money. Humanism is just a means to keep your provinces under control until you can convert them.

Oh yeah completely misread that. The easiest way to switch is to make sure that you'll have as close to 100% unity as possible after switching. You get +25% unity no matter what from your ideas, and +2 tolerance means that your heretic provinces will contribute 75% of their development to your unity. That means that you can actually switch at any time, even without a single protestant province, and still have 100% unity after switching. Since you're Spain, you're probably nowhere near any centers of reformation, so you'll want to convert ASAP to get your own and get the ball rolling.

I'd say you should try to butter up the Mamluks and Timurids, since neither of them are too fond of the Ottos. And yeah, the AI generally will not give a poo poo about your generosity.

It definitely used to be based on base tax of core provinces, and despite what the tooltip on the government window says, it's actually based on total development of core provinces, not just number of core provinces. Interestingly, this number also includes core provinces that you don't currently control. Don't believe me? Ottomans start with 293 development, plus 135 from uncontrolled cores. Their sole Serbian province has 10 development. 10 / (293 + 135) = 0.023 (It truncates to the nearest tenth of a percentage) Fister Roboto fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Sep 15, 2015 |

Revanchism looks good from a gameplay perspective, but it feels a bit out of place historically. Does John Q. Serf really care if he's ruled by a German king rather than a French one?

Bort Bortles posted:Has anyone ever done hardcore math to figure out if it is better to control 100% of the provinces in a Trade Company node or if it is better to own 33%-50% and protectorate the rest so they get that sweet +% to good produced, which you then whisk away to your home node? I'd say it's always better to own a province, because then you get 100% of the production value as well. The merchant republic trading bonus just gives you a large percentage, but it can never exceed what you'd get from production unless your trade efficiency is significantly higher than your production efficiency. From a competitive standpoint, it's also better to own the province to prevent the production income from going to your potential enemies. For example, let's consider a node with 2.0 base production for a good which is valued at 5 ducats. That's 10 ducats/year from production before PE is applied. If you have 90% of the trade power share in the node and don't own the province, the trade value gets increased to 19 ducats, of which you would receive 90%, or 17.1 ducats/year before TE is applied. If you DO own the province, you get the full production value plus 90% of the trade value for 19 ducats/year. Again, that's before efficiencies get applied. I did some napkin math, and discovered that if the ratio of your production efficiency to your trade efficiency is greater than the square of your trade share, then it's better to own the province. That being said, the merchant trading bonus is still insanely good because it means you can save a bunch of monarch points from not having to acquire the provinces.

Larry Parrish posted:CK2 and EU4 have exactly the same problems with their war and peace systems. The difference is that in EU4 you can end up taking more poo poo than you wanted initially because the retarded AI decided to fight to the death over a single worthless province or whatever. In CK2 you expend the same vast expense and effort for your lovely war goal and thats it. The AI really ought to have something that determines how fiercely they're willing to fight for something, because yeah it's really weird to see them go into total war mode over some lovely off-culture heathen grain-producing boondock province. For that matter it would be cool if you could negotiate with the AI and make demands for provinces before going to war.

Deltasquid posted:Is the "Failed administration" event from the admin ideas group supposed to fire when I'm at positive stability? According to the wiki, it should only fire if I'm at -2 stab. I've had it trigger thrice in like 20 years and it's getting a bit silly that this idea group just tanks my stability. In paradoxese, an equal sign is actually greater than or equal to. So the line "stability = -2" means that it will trigger if your stability is -2 or higher.

Pellisworth posted:Production gives you +0.2 Goods Produced, which at 100% Production and Trade Efficiency means a potential 0.2 * 2 * Price yearly income. Obviously that's an "ideal" late-game situation and PE and TE scale with tech from 10% at the start to 100% at max tech. Production efficiency gets added to the trade value, so if you've got 100% PE you're actually getting 200% of the trade value. e: misread, maybe?

Pellisworth posted:I think we're on the same page. Production and Trade Efficiency are effectively additive, assuming you're capturing all the trade value (a big assumption). Mostly correct, it's actually Production Income = Goods Produced * Goods Value * (100% + Production Efficiency) i.e. if you have 0% PE you'll still get production income.

Kalos posted:North American natives are basically just map filler. The Inca, Aztec, and Maya have some mechanics to make for interesting but difficult runs. North America is mostly just waiting for the colonizers to show up and take your land. If you know what you're doing and prepare with the right ideas, you can survive and thrive after first contact. The most important thing is westernizing and getting the event to switch to Christianity ASAP, which will remove the colonizers' casus belli and desire to go to war with you. e: although, I do thing the NA natives need a bit of a redo after Common Sense, since most of their buildings are still balanced without the changes in mind.

What's a good first three idea groups for Muscovy? I'm really tempted to go with Admin and/or Influence, because I've got just a poo poo ton of coring to do - Novgorod alone is 1190 base points. But that would severely delay settling Siberia and I don't want to wait too long and discover Spaniards in Kamchatka. Maybe Admin/Exploration would be better? Or Expansion/Influence? Or I could just say gently caress it to coring costs and go Exploration/Expansion.

Bishop Rodan posted:What should my second idea group be as the Ottos? I have humanist, and in the past Admin would have been my second idea group, but you can't do that now. I was thinking maybe Influence or a military idea (Quantity?). Any suggestions? It really depends on if you want to try to keep the janissaries or not. If you do, you're going to need 70+ army tradition to avoid the revolt, and for that you'll need Defensive or Quality, probably both. Aristocratic wouldn't hurt either.
