I still like monarchies more than republics. But gently caress republics really.

I however do like that favors make it easier to call bigger allies into offensive wars. Before you needed either luck or them declaring on you for that stuff.

I understood the first time you posted it. Also everything is busywork as it too is a loosely defined term. Edit: I guess if you want details sailors is fine, it does need some balancing but the fact boats were unlimited was dumb. Corruption is bad and also needs balancing but I don't think it's fixable. Neither are feature bloat. CharlestheHammer fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Jul 23, 2016 |

Dreissi posted:I mean, the whole game is kind of engineered to drive the world towards what happened in real life - Europe basically dominating the planet. This isn't a 4x game and different starts are not equivalent or fair. Yeah that is the problem, it pushes a narrative which isn't historical nor fun to play. They do seem to be trying to fix it but it could end up like divine wind and no one wants that.

I have played Byzantium like ten times but that is because I find their start really hard without unnecessary waiting. Usually.

It's a long process but it eats diplo points only and who gives a gently caress about those. Also it is insanely easy to get to 190. So the ten year timer is your only obstacle.

The key to an easy Byzantium victory is restart until Poland and Hungary aren't rivals and Poland rivals the ottos. Ally with both and wait. They will attack you or ten years later use your favors to launch an assault yourself. You still might lose as the AI is dumb but it's your best shot.

Wafflecopper posted:You'd need more than 10 years if you're going to use favours, you won't be getting them at 1/year with Hungary and Poland as tiny Byzantium. The guide I linked says to promise land if the Ottos don't invade you first. That works sometimes but not always. Poland usually doesn't have a border to get land. Though I am usually able to hit them at the ten year mark, maybe a year later.

PleasingFungus posted:My feeling is that the process of reversing history and getting/staying technologically on par with the Europeans, as a non-European, should be hard. It should feel like an accomplishment - otherwise, what's the difference between playing as a european nation and a non-european other than your colour on the map? Before you has to cripple yourself to westernize. Know you can actually play the game. It's not hard to improve from westernizing, as the old method was the worst.

), but it sounds like it's just dumping a bunch of development into one province and then paying a bunch of cash. A tax on non-Europeans, but not a threat in the way that westernization events & revolt risk could be. That's not very exciting to me, and of course it doesn't seem exceptionally historical either.
|
There is a fair point that the AI has no idea how to use the new mechanic but they didn't use the old one either so it's a wash on that front.
