Holy poo poo, I love the Teutonic Order now. The flavor is perfect. I love to burn through leaders for bonuses. I'm in a perfect spot to grow tall.

Koramei posted:I think it's too early to be saying definitively that we need more monarch points or things should cost less or whatever. We've all been playing the game blobby for 2 years now; the day after the patch it's still gonna feel weird since it's so different. I've played 100 years as the Teutonic Order in two separate games now. The first I tried to grow wide, the second tall. Once you start methodically developing your provinces (especially if you do a few in one big jump) it will amaze you how much things change. I turned the TO into an uncrackable Baltic walnut.

axeil posted:What did you specifically do? I'd like to try a Poland game where I don't blob everywhere so I can try for the Poland tech achievement and I'm curious how strong you got. Could you go 1v1 against any of the traditional huge powers? Not by a long shot. Granted I just went around 100 years in. For TO specifics I had a ring of castles that held off P/L long enough in each war for me to retaliate - and having good allies (like Riga, amazingly) helped. I didn't follow any special trick in developing. I just focused certain provinces on certain kinds of development/building. For instance, I made some provinces production centers. After a time I starting going on sprees of admin development and noticed big jumps in my monthly income.

Rincewind posted:So, who's the emperor in everyone's games? Austria seemed to lose control of the HRE very quickly in my game. After a brief interval where Bohemia was emperor, the HRE's been glued to Brandenburg ever since. In my longest TO game thus far it was Austria until 1500, then Bohemia (just in time to pick up some of Burgundy) until about 1560, then Brandenburg got a turn followed by Ravensburg (?!?) until 1620. After the disastrous rule by Ravensburg, Austria has picked it back up. The Religious Leagues never triggered, but I attribute that to one of the centers of Protestantism popping up in Naxos, of all stupid places. The only heretical religion in the HRE is Reformed.

So I've played about a dozen or so hours of Common Sense by this point and I am completely enamored with it. Prior to this it felt like EU4 was on an accelerated timeline and everything was happening about 100 years before it should. This feels like we're getting very close to a sweet spot of historical plausibility.

 Hoo boy! That's way too many dumb babbys looking to be coddled. Joking aside, I don't understand the negative response in the least.

Uh, neat. Like the ideas behind this expansion but they've clearly slipped back into some old release habits. AI seems to go dippy during wartime. Also a little unclear how to resolve estate influence issues when they start to become a problem. Remove territory from them seems to crater their loyalty for very little return in an influence drop.

Forts are nice and boogered up too when a bordering enemy fort prevents me from moving within my own state.
