So I was trying to get the Sultan of Rum achievement before Common Sense launched, which was a bad idea as the save obviously didn't transfer. But its so much easier now when you can snake up through Circassia, the Golden Horde and take Moscow in a single war without getting over 100% overextension or much aggressive expansion at all. Nothing like strangling the Russian menace in the grave.

Is Ming really that difficult to beat? Admittedly my last Manchu game was long ago (before AoW even) but I remember their armies being routinely decimated by hordes. Even a small stack could do a lot damage.

You know what would be a neat DLC idea? A challenge creator. Like how achievements are meant to get an in-game browser to show you which ones you are eligible for during a playthrough, make it so that players can create custom challenges - IE as X tag conquer Y region - and share them. Or you can share custom setups without going to the Steam workshop.

drat the Commonwealth is ridiculous. They've expanded so far east that Persia was able to westernize off of them. You'd think I'd be safe from Polish Hussars in India but nope.

So I'm doing a Manchu game, and I don't have Cossocks, yet I keep getting events that add or remove horde unity (Manchus shouldn't be treated as steppe hordes at this point in history but whatever). This shouldn't affect anything right? But I had a huge uprising anyways, and the "Warriors Don't Read Books" event popped, even though I was at war.

I don't think it should be possible to get a pretender uprising after a different pretender has already pressed his claim. The event window's flavor text talked about the pains of succession, I guess, but that seems kind of covered by the Civil War that preceded it.

If you don't strangle Russia in the cradle you're already doing it wrong as the Ottomans. Its actually easier than you think, I did a Sultan of Rum run and it only took a two wars to take Moscow. After that you can make a vassal out of either Novgorod of Muscovy and have them expand east for you.

Vivian Darkbloom posted:What are crossable straits supposed to represent now anyway? It's not like soldiers are swimming across the 9-mile Straits of Gibraltar. I mean the distance means the crossing wouldn't take very long by boat, so maybe the idea is the army requisitions local boats, I guess? I know it's all supposed to be an abstraction, but what's being abstracted? Well you wouldn't need to really be a naval power to transport soldiers over such a small distance. Having a fleet of ships dedicated to transporting an army represents a much larger logistical support base.

So I thought this was neat: someone on Reddit posted about the Chinese EU4 community, translating a bunch of posts from one of their forums: https://www.reddit.com/r/eu4/comments/4h6euj/front_page_of_chinese_eu4_subreddit/ I really want to try their Asia rebalance mod, even though my Mandarin is pretty amateur level. It looks like they added a bunch of new provinces, events and tags (including a bunch of aborigine states in

One thing I don't really understand about states is how sometimes it seems I don't need to make permanent cores when I turn territories into states and sometimes I do. If you have a permanent claim on the area does it just automatically upgrade the core type? I'm not sure what's happening.

Another annoyance: going to war, having a fleet on auto explore get attacked, retreat back to port, then repeatedly try to go back on its mission, only to get run into the enemy stationed right outside. Over and over again. I can't cancel the mission, right clicking to move to the province doesn't work, even firing the explorer didn't stop it. I just had to accept the loss of that fleet.

I kinda wish the protectorate system had some qualifications to it (culture based maybe?). It feels like I'm punished for Westernizing when I can no longer create vassals and annex them. I'm pretty admin point starved right now and can't even use all these permanent claims I have on everything as a result.

I've been one of the people wanting a new tech system that's more flexible, but this seems a little odd. If you're playing a non European power how much can you really affect some of these factors? Like an Indian or Chinese state could easily get the manufactories and trade ones, I guess, but why is the colonialism one limited to Europeans? Like the current westernization system doesn't make historically and feels weird mechanically, but at least as a player I have control over it. This feels more random.

Fister Roboto posted:Even if the provinces have really high development, the Renaissance won't spread there because they're not in Europe. The only way the Renaissance can spread outside Europe is by colonial nations or adjacent provinces. Uh, apparently you can get institutions even without bordering Euro countries? You can test it yourself. Play Ming, wait for Renaissance to spawn, click on Beijing's institutions tab. Watch as the Renaissance bar goes up when you develop the province. Yep.

Does the amount of Institution gain you get from developing a province scale with how expensive the development is? It makes intuitive sense to dump points into, say, Beijing to make that your tech center but since dev cost grows pretty quickly it might be better to take a smaller province and start your Renaissance in that.

Okay, yea, I really like this system then. It's not really gimmicky either - you're still spending monarch points like you would with Westernization, but now its to develop your nation, and you don't need to always capture South Africa. Plus, since its a ticking malus, the tech modifier isn't quite so bad.

Yea I don't tend to watch too many of the dev streams but this game is amazing. India is just constant total war all the time. The AI Ming actually put up a pretty good fight when it was invaded on all 3 sides by different players but has collapsed. With Dai Viet, Qing + Korea and Japan all trying to get their fill of the remains, it looks like a thunderdome to dwarf the one in India is going to get underway soon.

Start to convert a province in order to piss off X religious minority, turn down missionary maintenance so conversion never makes progress. e: as for mercs, I only use them in the first century of the game or so. I always end up getting loans but if you get to around 10 of them you really need to take time and burn off the debt.

I posted this on the Paradox forum wrt the new China mechanics. Probably pretty premature to offer feedback but hey:quote:Granted, without a Dev Diary or ingame experience I do not know everything about this system, but from what I have seen I would argue for a few tweaks: Some of this might already be represented in game but the basic thrust is turning the Manchu -> Qing mechanics into a more dynamic system that is universal to East Asia.
