Repostin' here :How's peoples performance? Mine has definitely gone down significantly but I've seen reports on the Paradox forums that it's much better than before, so I'm not sure what's going on. Also I'm having some weird zoom issues.

Spiderfist Island posted:Yeah, I'm also having these trackpad issues as well, and to top it off the built-in keyboard shortcuts don't even work anymore. Plugging in a mouse makes zooming take forever now, and the game seems to be burning up my computer considerably more than it did previously. These are basically my issues, hope its all sortable.

So what's the strategy for a TO start? It's 1459 and I'm boxed in between allied Pommerania, Brandenburg, and Poland-Lithuania.

The last three reformations I've played through have been wet farts, is this just my bad luck or a change since CE dropped? In each game the centers spawned in Scandinavia and England and barely brushed the continent. Reformed still seems to be working as usual, however.

Anyone else had Bohemia beating Austria every game since CE dropped? I've played four starts to around 1550-1600 and in each one the Czechs have swiftly (like, in the 1450s or 60s) gained the empire and started wailing on the poor innocent Habsburgs. Seems like those couple of extra provinces really supercharged them.

Do the livonians have a decision to turn into kourland (or courland or whatever)? I wasn't paying attention and that seems like the only possibility. They have some interesting ideas, wasn't really expecting colonial range on a nation in the Baltic.

I believe Muscovy's provinces got some pretty significant development buffs in the last beta patch. I'm not really sure how you make them any stronger without just directly nerfing Lithuania (which is really frightening these days) and the hordes. Maybe their missions could give them cores instead of claims? I know devs are philosophically disinclined to do that, however. It remains excruciating to watch Russia snake jump the Urals over Kazan and start bridging east tho.

In reference to last page, i feel like the best fix for mughals would just be a dutch revolt style DHE that checks for a declined Timurids and spawns a stack with Babur in Delhi. In reality he was practically a ck2 style adventurer anyway.

I don't mind burgundian inheritance because it fires rarely enough that it's an actual interesting twist when it does. The Dutch revolts, similarly, I havent noticed occurring at all since CS dropped. If all these myriad historical surprises could arise through basic game mechanics that would be beautifully elegant, but I don't think the utility of DHEs as ways of keeping the game interesting during the flow of endless player expansion should be discounted. It's what makes the Reformation mechanics great, and why I think a similar macro-mechanic for national revolutions in the late game would be a great addition.

Fintilgin posted:This is by far my biggest issue with EUIV. You could do something like declare at the choose CB screen the tier of war you are planning to wage, like a "10% warscore war to take back Picardie" or "100% warscore war to take back Picardie", with the percent war score determining how many (if any) allies can be brought in. You could break your promise and go higher in the eventual victory, raising your AE like nuts, or alternatively go lower and lose power projection/monarch point production or something for having humiliated yourself. Obviously there are a lot of issues that would need to be worked out, but some sort of system that allows neighboring powers to fight small wars without dragging in all their alliances would be nice. Anyway this is probably a dumb idea but it's the first thing that leapt to mind.

Wiz posted:I tweeted a WIP picture of the reworked Random New World for anyone interested. Trade nodes are now dynamically generated along with the world instead of re-using the old new world connections. The trade node names are silly because they're placeholders from a random place name generator. Very cool, it's rad that you guys are taking time out of other development to work on this.

Genoa sniped Constantinople in the first two years of the game. It's been occupied by Byz separatists for 30+ years and I'm guessing Ottomans are never going to get around to grabbing it now.

In my last game Golden Horde killed and ate Muscovy, Kazan, Novgorod, and the eastern parts of Lit before settling down and westernizing. Then they started eating into Siberia through Mega-Oirat. I was pretty impressed.

Koramei posted:Yeah pre-AoW it was a 25% discipline malus, their armies just completely malus. That got knocked down to 10% for a while, and now in Common Sense it's nearly completely gone. They also have a pretty strong chance to explode, so I feel like it's balanced enough. I wouldn't mind a mod that just starts with fractured China for a change, though. What exactly are the mechanics behind losing the Mandate anyway, I've never paid enough attention to see it actually in progress.

Jazerus posted:That was just in CK 1, wasn't it? Man, it was expensive to cross water but so much more convenient than the transports in EU and CK2. I honestly think that a sea expansion for CK2 would be pretty cool and actually make merchant republics interesting, but I can understand why that might be heresy to some people. Is there any difference in pips between explorers and generals, or are the former an objectively better pick?

How do I Austria? I've never tried to play as Emperor before it looks like I'm going to lose the HRE on my first ruler. I have no idea why.

PittTheElder posted:That policy is a hell of a lot worse for a non-Western nation though, because you need those military points that much more. Yeah, the Protestant war leader should definitely have some boost for the AI elector logic. The (remote) prospect of becoming Emperor is one of the reasons that Gustavus bothered showing up, for instance.

I'm just trying to decide which horde to play as. Do any of them have unique ideas? If not I'll probably just rock Oirat and do the Ottoman thing, alternating east and west expansion.

Cossacks content pack doesn't seem to do it.

PittTheElder posted:Yeah I don't know how I feel about them quite yet. They didn't seem like a major problem in the first 20 years or so of a test game, but they also didn't seem to give out huge bonuses worth earning. The exception being my Muscovite Boyars and their 15% manpower recovery (which I imagine exists for all Eastern techers in some form?), that's boss as hell. I think that's just "Nobles" in general.

I haven't had a chance to put in much time yet, but one thing I've noticed with Cossacks is that AI blobbiness seems back to around pre-Art of War levels. To a degree it seems mitigated by the new fluidity of diplomacy, as I've seen a number of small tier powers grow enormously in one or two wars and then get beaten down by their neighbors. I'm less thrilled about stuff like Hungary grabbing a bunch of Italian provinces across from Dalmatia, or Muscovy back to being unable to cope with Novgorod though.
