Forts are super cool, but the fort mapmode is useless and it should be made more clear that your free capital fort doesn't have a zone of control. I think that being able to annex provinces you haven't sieged is really backwards considering how easy it is to siege provinces without a fort.

Are separatist rebels being able to near-instantly siege down a province and give you umpteen more years of nationalism an intended change? Didn't see anything about that in the hotfix

Nitrousoxide posted:Don't forget the increased coring cost which makes you substantially less tasty to other players in a multiplayer game. If you have some national ideas which increase your coring cost too, I've seen provinces with around 40ish development which cost nearly ONE THOUSAND ADMIN POINTS TO CORE. That sounds like good advice on paper, but it actually works against you. It's less of the fact that they're not going to like taking your provinces, it's that they'll smash you before you can possibly infect any more of the map with your poison cores.

I'm going to assume that army tradition wasn't tweaked at all in 1.12/CS because despite constantly being at war I check back to my military page and see that I have ~10 AT every single time. My guess is that sieges were changed drastically with the addition of forts and they just forgot or skipped over changing the AT to counteract that. It's super lame having to waste mil points just so that I can get a crappy 0/0/1/0 general for the dozenth time.

Luigi Thirty posted:I booted up an Ayutthaya game. I set up some alliances on day 1 and got a mission to conquer Angkor. Did that but now I have ~bad karma~. Should I just be vassalizing and diplo-annexing as much as possible? Should I be developing provinces with my lovely tech group? I've been playing as Ayutthaya and the only way to deal with Karma is to ignore it or never conquer anything. The -10% Discipline is annoying and almost lost me a few easy wars, but a +5% advisor can negate that almost entirely. I haven't even touched my provinces yet in terms of development, the consensus seems to be that only western nations have enough excess points to make development useful. I went humanist (which synchronizes with your national ideas nicely) and there's a handful of events that randomly dole out +1 basetax to a province, which is nice. Question for my Ayutthaya game: It's ~1585 and the first colonizer (Spain) is making their way east. They only have one province on the gold/ivory/whatever coast so far, but i'm going to bet they'll be hopping towards me soon enough. Any ideas on what I should do? Try to stop them by colonizing everything in their way? Let them in and steal a province to westernize off of?

Trying to get a Wallachia game off the ground is not easy. The Ottomans warn you seemingly every time, and if you don't ally Poland fast enough you're first on the chopping block. The one game I managed to survive for a meaningful amount of time Hungary fell under a PU with Austria, leaving me no routes of expansion. I managed to get on Bosnia's side in a war but Serbia had too many alliances to make any gains on them.

The only reason I didn't do it is because the route it forces you into is the loving dumbest and maximizes the amount of attrition your ships take. I was a month away from getting to a safe harbor before the AI decided it needed to take a trip north to Hawaii. You can't abort or cancel it once it starts either, which is equally stupid.

Man, I'm really getting hosed out of monarch points in this ironman game. After I westernized any of my excess points above 999 were deleted upon spending any amount of them, so there goes ~1000 for no reason. Now after seizing the colony in Cape from France there's no colony discount so I'm left to pay the full cost to core it, another ~100 when I already have a backlog of cores. France has also been hilariously kneecapped in my game. It's not even 1600 yet, but they're missing over 1/3 of the french region and GB holds Paris.

After playing with the changes a bit I can really appreciate this:quote:- Cost to develop provinces now increases non-linearly, with no additional cost for development levels below 10 and a scaling increase at 20, 30, 40, etc. Overall cost is cheaper at low levels, about the same at mid levels and much higher at very high levels. Some very small nations that tend not to expand much get really developed if they survive for a long time. It's ~1685 and the best province in the world right now looks like Wallachia's 29 basetax Tirgoviste. Along with that, the entire world has forgotten Yemen as they've been exiled to Socotra, which is 17/4/18.

The region mapmode is garbage, you should just be able to cycle through all of the regions after clicking on a province. The way it is now prevents you from seeing certain regions entirely because of the inconsistent layering.

If I hadn't taken Cuba and a few surrounding islands I'd be waiting even longer. I can't imagine how badly it sucks for natives. That would be cool.

Whoever said that staying under a PU basically nullifies any AE is a genius. I managed to snag all of scandinavia sans sjaelland by 1490. The hardest part is trying to stay a subject under the PU when you're constantly clowning on Denmark. My first run had the king die ~5 years in, my successful run had him die an old man a few days after I declared my second "independence" war, and I was able to sneak back under the PU as long as I didn't declare independence in the peace deal. There was also a opportunistic war waged on Denmark by Scotland which kept the danes occupied for the entirety of the ten year truce I had with them. They went bankrupt twice and it was a constant battle between Scotland, Denmark, and the hordes of rebels (who also fought themselves). They ended up taking orkney and giving me my cores back, only to rival me the instant I achieved actual independence. Morzhovyye fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Aug 19, 2015 |

Epinephrine posted:When you finally break free, let us know how the Russian situation pans out. The "stay in PU while you gobble Scandanavia" idea is pretty cool, but it also means you don't have the diplomatic freedom to puppet Novgorod before they get annexed and otherwise kneecap Moscovy before they become a monster. Haha, yeah, about that. Lithuania managed to stay independent, but luck would have it that they are in a loving ~triple alliance~ with both Poland and Muscovy. Poland declared war on the Teutons shortly after I vassalized them, Muscovy and Lithuania had tons of troops but my superior ideas/tech managed to let me win despite being outnumbered almost 2:1. I barely managed to survive, taking Danzig and one other baltic province for my vassal TO. They've formed Prussia and I've since made them my March. Novgorod still exists as three provinces surrounding their capital, and I'm thinking I'm just going to annex them because I've taken most of the lovely northern/karelian territory for myself already. I can see through the fog of war that Muscovy hasn't started colonizing either of the two provinces touching perm, but they've done a fair amount of horde crushing so I'm assuming they've started further east. Meanwhile Pomerania still has control of Seeland after they sniped it off of Denmark when they were an OPM, and I've been unable to take it due to their Forever Alliance with the monstrous HRE emperor Bohemia.

I was wondering why my conversions were taking so drat long, but I'd foolishly chalked it up to it being because of the -2.0% from shia/sunni/ibadi provinces. Why not check all of the modifiers just to be sure! Oh, another -2.0% from "missonary slider". Huh, weird, I've never heard of that event befor-  I had switched my state religion away 50 years ago without remembering to turn the missionary maintenance up from when I purposely spawned the zealots in the first place.
