RabidWeasel posted:One thing I would seriously consider at this point is increasing the base MP generation to 4/4/4, especially since one of the main complaints about MP costs being high is that you can get hosed on one type of income with bad ruler stats. 7 points per month with a 0 stat ruler, +1 adviser and focus seems pretty acceptable - that means maybe 3 years income to take a high value province. On the other hand your 5 stat +2 adviser guy with focus is only going from 12 to 13 points of income. There's a ton more MP sinks in general than there used to be and everything is more expensive on top of that so a general increase in income seems fair. Wouldn't admin ideas reduce diploannexation cost? I thought diploannexing used your modified coring cost

Here's a ZOC scenario I want to double check on. I was allied with Switzerland and at war with Austria. Switzerland is in the war on my side against Austria. Austria owns Sundgau but it has been sieged and is occupied. Austria moves an army up from Milan into the province just south of Bern, which is covered by the fort in Bern, then into Bern, then through Bern into occupied Sundgau. Should they be able to do that?

Elman posted:How do you get army tradition now? I'm playing Ottomans, it's 1590 and I'm about to westernize after conquering Vienna, yet I still haven't unlocked the Janissaries event cause I can't reach 50 AT despite going Defensive as my second idea. AT from sieges is so much lower than it used to be. Jumping into every battle you possibly can I guess. They supposedly doubled the AT you get from battles, since people tend to want to play smart and attack when they have an advantage, the base AT gain from battles was so low to begin with that you probably end up still getting 0.2 AT for a single battle or something.

Node posted:Good fixes, does it address the whole "rebels spawning and giving ten years of separatism in a month's siege" issue? It doesn't appear so unless I am misreading it. Rebels aren't supposed to add separatism or change religions in a province if the province borders a fort they don't control I think. At least that's what a paradox employee said on the paradox forums the other day

canepazzo posted:The only zones that slow down rebel sieges are zones with a fort in them, the adjacent ones still get sieged down in 1 cycle; they still get back under your control if the army moves out, but you're still getting the separatism/religious zeal. They provinces adjacent to a fort DO get captured in 1 siege tick by rebels, but they should not get separatism/zeal/etc. from rebel occupation unless the fort falls too. If this isn't correct, then the paradox employee who answered this question was either wrong or was talking about a future change.

Pellisworth posted:Yeah that'll be pretty huge, it'll make buying development fairly competitive with conquering or integrating. Base 50 MP per dev, toss in discounts from Econ, university and you can get that down to ~25 or so which is similar to core/integrate cost. Improving provinces more will be fun, but I'm worried there will be too much wealth everywhere. I kind of wish that base tax and base production were more different. One is an income generator and the other is the better income generator. Base manpower is much better differentiated in comparison

I get the idea that they are thematically different sources of income but as far as gameplay goes, they are both just income sources and production is the better one. I think base tax needs something to differentiate it, like maybe an effect on tech or idea cost, or better advisors/generals/admirals to simulate having a bigger pool of rich people to grab officials from I'm not even sure if I like either of those ideas would work well, I'm just brainstorming

I'm not sure if super development of provinces is broken, or it's just something that we're not used to yet but is intended to be the new normal. It's jarring to see a province with like 60 base tax when we're used to considering something with like 15 base tax as "insanely high", but is that inherently a bad thing to have bigger numbers as long as it's built with the intention of achieving them? My main gripe would be that if you look at provinces at the start of the game, a province with around 6 total development you can look at as some sparsely populated rural area and then you look at a province with like 20 development and you have to imagine it as this bustling center of production and trade with a high population, but then if you look at those same 2 provinces 300 years in and they are 56 development and 70 development, it kind of all starts bleeding together and feels like 'massive wealth and population everywhere'.

VDay posted:What's the general strategy with Tabarestan? Thinking about going for This is Persia with them as my next game. Just looking around they seem to pretty much be hostile to all of their big neighbors, and even if they weren't the religion/army/navy size penalties seem like they prevent you from allying with Timurids, QaraQ, Ottos, or Mamluks. I'm thinking of trying to expand up and across the Caspian first into Shirvan or Gazikumukh depending on who they ally, but I'm not too sure how to go about not dying in the meantime. I think most Tabarestan strategies revolve around releasing your other province as a 1 province Persia, then using powerful alliance to get cores back for them and/or waiting for the Timurids to explode and getting your Persia a ton of provinces for free. Then diploannex them, then form Persia.

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

Have you ever considered making attrition in deserts intense? Like 10%+ more attrition? But give countries that start in that type of terrain a national bonus that negates it. Maybe it can be negated by other nations later in game by tech, or a national idea.

I'm convinced that I don't really like the army tradition mechanic at all. It's kind of like prestige, but you only really get it with certain idea groups. The bonuses it provides are buried in tooltips and in stronger generals. But the same idea groups that give more army tradition also give explicit bonuses to the same things AT affects in a more straightforward way. It's just weird. I've also never been a fan for all of eu4's existence of the army/navy to leader ratio. I like having my armies and navies under someone's command, but the penalty for going over the soft leader cap is harsh. While I'm complaining, I might as well say I don't like instant stack wipes either. Lots of the mechanics around combat still seem like bad relics from eu3 and earlier.

Just started a Mamluks game, and I'm not sure what I want to do yet. I could go for Arabia I guess. Exploration or Expansion might be good if I want to sneak over to southeast Asia or colonize all of Africa for maximum map painting. Not sure if I'll need religious ideas or not if I can just plop down Ulema estates to help with conversions in rough spots. Any thoughts about that? I haven't played Mamluks much, what's fun to do with them?

I think I'm just starting to feel like Eu4 is taking too many extra things on. Like the UI is running out of little nooks and crannies to effectively display all of this information and provide a meaningful way to interact with the new things. So I end up really liking the new features that are modifications to the core functions of eu4, like the new fort system came in and that was cool, war is a centerpiece of eu4. The new diplomatic interaction stuff from Cossack: cool, ok, diplomacy is a core function in eu4. But then estates is just this new thing off to the side. But it doesn't feel like it's a core part of the game while still being pretty important. I have to keep this tab on my country menu open off to be side more often than I have to look at any of the other tabs, or try to decipher he new map mode etc. I guess my favorite eu4 expansions are ones that are more along the lines of "here's a cool new way that we are dramatically changing up an existing feature" rather than "here's this entirely new thing", as nice as it may be.
