Yeah the AI is a little retarded. It's loving infuriating that it's easier to peace out of most wars on day 1 than it is after fighting (and winning!) a few battles because then all those WE STILL GOT EM BOSS modifiers kick in.

Bort Bortles posted:Yeah I'm not even sure what I am saying needs to be done, but the annihilation combat and morale really should change. I say different boats because of cost/utility/effectiveness reasons. Muslims used galleys and Dhows; the Chinese used gigantic Junkers; Africans, Pacific Islanders, and "Primitives" all use a variety of smaller generic vessel. The galleys that Muslims use were used for pirating and combat and often traveled on them too. Natives should get one boat for everything, but can only do one thing at a time with it or something Natives only get cogs, Chinese tech group has heavy ships that give trade power (less cost-effective than regular light ships, of course), muslims have galleys that give trade power. Or something.

 National focus is for scrubs. Also, Florence/Tuscany can now choose to elect a de Medici on election, who doesn't cost RT and has random stats. Awesome. Although he died and I didn't get the option so maybe that's a one time thing I missed out on. And wiz, please, fix the thing where sometimes mashing spacebar while autosaving makes the game stop recognizing keyboard input at all.

The coalition mapmode really sucks because people at -0 and people at -50 AE are almost the same color, until they actually join a coalition, then they light up. It should color nations yellow or something when they hit -30 AE.

I like that Protestantism and Reformed now both have the same flexible bonuses gimmick, but Reformed is more rigid and stronger and Protestant is more varied but weaker. Also they made Papal Influence convert to Bonus Church Power when you go Protestant. Not sure if they did that for bonus Fervor.

Gort posted:So is the way to expand within the HRE to vassalise neighbours and annex them that way? Is straight-up conquering provinces from people too much AE? Usually yeah. It's better to slowly vassal feed one or two relatively small nations, especially if they used to be big but got pwned by coalitions, so they have lots of cores to return.

quote:- It is once again always possible to transfer occupations to warleader, but AI might not do so unless they have good reason to.  In the HRE, you sometimes fight someone you don't immediately border. If your based allies immediately siege everything, then they can't transfer occupation and you can't take territory or vassalize them, which didn't happen often that I wanted provinces that far away but it is insanely ridiculously frustrating when it happened

Allied armies just don't seem to coordinate with each other well or at all. Once and a while you also see a tiny stack just suicide itself into a larger one, even when there's no allies near by to reinforce. It's insane.

Kersch posted:In my current game when the league war ended and Protestant became the official religion of the HRE, it made Cornwall the emperor, which owned enough on its own. But now all of the electors have wiped each other out and nothing exists that can elect a different emperor and Cornwall is refusing to appoint new electors. So they have de facto permanent HRE inheritance even though only 1 reform is passed Annex them and see what happens

Baronjutter posted:ok what's going on here? I ended up abandoning a game because my Genoa conquests of north africa were totally useless due to the overseas penalties. But this Italian dude seems to have conquered a bit of north africa and is not getting the penalty. Their capital is in Sicily does that some how make north africa not count as distant overseas? I thought the only way to avoid that is to conquer a huge strip from the balkans through turkey and the middle east and egypt. Can anyone explain this wizardry ? Within a certain range of your capital (300 units maybe?) nothing counts as distant overseas.

It's great for really small kingdoms/republics, insanely horrible for large empires. So it's just bad period since they unlock at tech 22 and if you have under 30 provinces that late in the game IDK what to tell you

I really wish they'd take out Persia's cores, and replace them with a bunch of Persian rump states that don't go away. But I'm not sure if this is possible with the way cultures and cores work right now. It's just silly to me that such a massive country can form out of rebels. It's like, you would never see fully-formed France pop out 150 years after they'd been annexed. It would be a bunch of tiny countries. I know that's because French culture has a million sub-cultures in it but still.

I'm not whining about Persian cultures not really being represented or whatever, I'm whining that they haven't quite finishing break up the whole world into a disgusting mess of Primary Culture cores that take forever to go away and make big countires explode into confetti. It's really cool whenever it manages to happen to Lithuania, Ottos, Ming, Hungary, eastern part of Timurids ETC.

Also re: Maritime vs Trade. I always take Maritime over Trade, just because the bonuses from Confirm Thassolwhatever are really good to have. Also, if you really want, you can always repick that slot into trade later. Big spend of MP though.

IMO trade efficiency is a lot more important early-mid game but usually when I take maritime or trade I already dominate at least one major node so it ends up not being as effective as i'd like

IMO keep your boats around for opportunistic wars against like, Brittany or Denmark or something. Also it only takes one war to make the English weak since the Scotland buffs so you'll be needing those boats pretty soon anyway.
