I just realized how good pillaging is going to be. You get 25 of each monarch power AND the province costs 30 admin less to core AND it will have a lower impact on religious unity and overextension AND it will be easier to convert. Totally worth the development, which would be poo poo anyway due to autonomy. Really can't wait for Tuesday.

I'm going to burn North Italy to the loving ground.

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.

Hordes with unique ideas:

The Jurchens (Yeren, Haixi, and the canon winner Jianzhou) all have the very good Manchu ideas
Kazan
TImurids (go Zoroastrian for proper experience)

The rest have the steppe nomad ideas, which are great if lacking in diversity. Though have we gotten any word on new idea sets?

Also razing boosts horde unity and drops revolt risk.

Cheers for all the help fellas. No biggie about starting again, guess I'll grab this dlc too.

I'll check out that Wiki but just one more question, how do you influence trade with ships? I sent my merchant to Constantinople to increase my influence and built a market there. However I have no idea what to do with ships other than transport troops and fight other ships, I haven't really invested in them at all.

Light ships (barques at the start) you send to trade nodes using the protect trade button. Send them to either your home trade node or nodes that feed into your home trade node.

Ignore the tooltip that says how much money they produce while protecting trade; it's completely wrong.

Apparently according to Andrzej2 you are all wrong:

If you guys like this feature so much maybe you should just play on observer mode. It will have similar result. You are all disgrace for true strategy players, you don't want to use your brain and expect game to not only tell you everything but also perform many actions automatically.

If you don't mod the game's UI to look like a Windows 95 spreadsheet then you are simply a casual console kiddie who cannot wrap your tiny mind around True Games.
