There are two strats that work with Byz most of the time. The easiest is 1.build all the galleys you can until you are at least a bit stronger than half of the Otto's navy. 2. Wait for the Ottos to go to war, where they will split their navy to blockade. 3. Declare war and pounce on whichever navy you think best. 4. Siege and capture all the balkans, waiting them out until you get the maximum territory. 5. Repeat until all the Balkans are yours. The second strategy that is a bit harder is. 1. Hire a diplomat 2. Increase your relationship with Austria and ally with them. 3. Wait until they trust you enough to go to war with the Ottos. 4. Let the Austrians fight the ottos troops. 5. Siege while they slug it out. Both strats rely on the same basic principle, never ever engage the ottos in land combat. Even if you win it will hurt, and hurt bad.

Mygna posted:The Ottos were fielding at least 40 galleys five years into the game in all of my attempts, and Tunis would bring another twenty out to play. Meanwhile, your forcelimits are sitting at 18, and you are barely making a profit even without going over them That is actually manageable, as when the ottos go to war they divide their fleet in half, no matter who they are fighting. So if you can beat twenty you can basically keep them in harbor for the rest of the war.

Really all the system you wanted does is make the game easier. Which the game doesn't really need that. It's already not a difficult game. Increasing the cost just isn't enough of a counterbalance.

Mans posted:the objective of game mechanics are to introduce logical and meaningful decisions to gameplay to make it a better game to play. Paradox isn't a company that cathers to hardcore grognards who aren't satisifed until you need to dig your own potatoes one by one to supply your army during a campaign. Also EU4 is no more inexcessible than three was.

I was super pissed when a mechanic I was unfamiliar with derailed an achievement run I was doing (supporting a vassal's independence does not generate a Call To Arms - you simply end up in the war. It was a bad way to learn, I reacted poorly, and I posted about it) Someone has to act as a counterbalance to yours.

I have no issues with anyone posting here and am just doing the same thing you are so i don't see your issue. I don't really care if you all like or disike a mechanic it's not a popularity contest. Besides the thread is fine as long as it's not discussing changing game mechanics.

Oh you don't know what contrarian means, that makes a lot more sense. Also no one has constructively posted about regencies. It's repeating "I don't like it" over and over again. Realistically you can't fix regencies without adding a regent character which goes completely against the design of EU4 as its not a character based game like CK2. This problem arises out of any attempt to fix this problem outside of cutting it completely. That is why it won't change there is no good way of fixing it without neutering it to the point of pointlessness. Like a lot of thoughts posted here on game mechanics it's half baked at best.
