Tsyni posted:Can someone explain how the colony discount is applied to coring? I'm playing as Najd, conquering provinces around the Horn of Africa. I notice some say I'll get the giant Colony discount, but Ethopian provinces say I won't, even though a tiny country north of them has provinces that say I will get the discount when I mouse over the coring button. The province needs to count as distant overseas for the 50% discount to apply. A province is distant overseas if it's not on the same continent as you are and you don't have a land connection (straits count) to it. When you hover over the button the game correctly says that you'll get the discount because you don't own the connecting provinces yet. But once you annex the land you generally take the connecting provinces too which will make you ineligible for the discount when it actually matters.

 The ottomans learn the hard way that annexing 120 development worth of HRE land in one shot might not be a good idea. Also 1 million manpower is a lot this patch. e: At least they kept their hre land.  I think my new goal of this campaign will be to make the ottomans a part of the hre.

VDay posted:Is aggressive expansion still based on base tax/admin development? Because if so then my main concern with there being dozens of super-developed provinces is if it means that annexing a 50-development OPM immediately triggers a continent-wide coalition against you (or the AI) because taking any decently developed province gives enough AE to put every single neighbor over the threshold. I mean on the one hand, coalitions probably could use to be a little more aggressive since it's still somewhat easy to play around them, but on the other hand you're potentially slowing the pace of the game down to an unplayable crawl if taking any kind of meaningful territory means you have to chill out for 50 years afterwards. Thats why AE is capped at 30 development.

 When the ai accepts to transfer trade power makes no sense. Especially the "economic base compared to" modifier seems bugged. This screenshot was back when I had 4k ( 2.5k overseas) development and france 2k and there was no reason for me to get the full +20 from economics. Right now I've got 5k development and 90 development seems to be when economic acceptance starts to drop like a rock. Explains the weird "please give me trade power" message spam the ai sends you sometimes though. Are there files for AI acceptance or is it hardcoded? I can't find anything. Trujillo posted:Yep. The colonial navies have be adventurous for a while now. At least since 1.12 but I'm pretty sure I first saw that in 1.11. Never seen them sending troops though.

double nine posted:I remember something about one of those influencing the others or manpower or something. I recall production being more potent than the others but I can't recall why. Manpower used to be increased by goods produced, which is different from production efficiency and mostly comes from manufactories. But they did away with that a couple patches ago. At the start of the game you usually want to get +tax but as you build more manufactories production efficiency / trade efficiency becomes better.

Chickpea Roar posted:It's only "permanent" if it was arranged diplomatically. The acceptance modifers for the trade power transfer are bugged. Or at least the economic difference modifier is. Depending on how much development you have this modifier is supposed to go from -60 when you have less to +20 when you have much more. However if you are MUCH smaller then the nation you want trade power from this modifier breaks and always outputs +20. Example: 117 development teutons and 5000 development poland gives +20.

VDay posted:So I think I'm going to go for A Sun God (own all of South America as Inca) next since I haven't played in the Americas in absolutely forever. Any general advice/tips/things to absolutely do/avoid doing? I've been reading up on the wiki about how the authority and religious reforms system works and think I get it, but would love to know if there's anything non-obvious about either system that I should keep an eye out for. Reforming as inca is really annoying and not fun thanks to rebels in mountain provinces but it's bearable. The only thing you need to watch out for is the incan civil war that is triggered shortly after the first smallpox events. Just don't reform after getting your first smallpox event until it blows over (guess what I did  ).

Slime Bro Helpdesk posted:Is there any estimate to how long you need to hold out to get the Peace of Westphalia event to fire? Wiki just says "a long time" and there's nothing in the event file that suggests a mean-time to fire. You get the peace of westphalia when the league war ends without either side enforcing the religious superiority wargoal. If you mean the catholic auto-win if the protestants never start the war, that can fire after 30 years with a mtth of 5 years.

TomEmanski posted:In the process of westernizing as Inca in my "A Sun God" attempt. When westernization completes will I instantly lose my banked monarch points or will I have an opportunity to spend the surplus points with the discounted techs? Once you complete your westernization if you have more then 999 monarch points they'll be grey and the next time the game checks how many monarch points you are supposed to have they'll be reduced down to 999. This will happen once you gain more at the start of the next month or if you spend any. This means that if you have 2k monarch points and you spend 500 on a tech you'll effectivly spend 1k instead (which is probably still cheaper then buying it before completing the westernization). Banking monarch points can be useful but only to an extend. You can also store dip monarch points by starting culture conversions the month before you finish your westernization and getting a refund once you're done with it.

Neither does the in game prediction. Just because it says that there'll be a succession war doesn't mean that it will happen. The latest patches improved on it but I would be very surprised if it was 100% accurate.

PittTheElder posted:gently caress me, that makes me far less inclined to make another attempt at 1001. Though part of me does kind of want to do a WC just for the novelty of doing it. Anyone have recommendations for doing such a thing as a still Muslim Ottomans? Mostly idea lines is what I'm curious about. I'm assuming I'd want both Religious and Expansion for the CBs, but I don't really want to pass on Humanist to go Religious. So tired of spamming missionaries. There is an easier way to do 1001. The key is that any colonized province will never give overextension and the 1001 province achievement does not check for cores. As long as you never core any and never colonize yourself a colonial nation won't form, so just rob the colonizers. Back when I did the achievement 1/3 of my provinces weren't cored.

genericnick posted:One question about AE management: Is it cheaper to enforce a PU than normal vassalisation? Doing it to Provence in a BigBlueBlob attempt is a bad idea because of the 50y time out, but would it be worthwhile otherwise? Enforcing a PU is always the cheapest AE wise. (It's even cheaper then reconquest) The only problem is that it is an all or nothing option. Which can lead to problems if you get >100 AE with the entirety of europe.
