PurpleXVI posted:Jesus, even having a non-insane sultan doesn't limit the number of fights that the Jizrunids get into. I dare say being sane could easily result in more fights, just ones directed at the Catholics rather than at his own vassals  I like that the RNG finally decided to give you a ruler with traits which let you RP them as not a complete rear end in a top hat

Hashim posted:I modded it in as a unique Andalusi ability before starting the campaign, but in practice it's a lot more powerful than I thought it'd be. I've already lowered it to 5% for the next update, still pretty good, but not godly. Unique age bonuses are supposed to be kind of broken but it's your mod, do what you like! Admittedly, the most discipline you can get from a single source in the normal game is 7.5% IIRC, but 5% is a fairly standard bonus. You can get well over 140% in vanilla from stacking poo poo up.

Cerebral Bore posted:Aw jeez. While I get that this should be a huge crisis, I still feel like Hashim might have cranked up the intensity of those rebellions a bit much. My main issue is that there weren't any events where anything good happened it was just "so hey more nobles decided to throw their troops into this rediculous meat grinder of a civil war which they have apparently been watching for years while somehow not getting involved at all previously" which sort of stopped being believable after the 2nd or 3rd time it happened.

I think it was probably the constant gigantic custom event rebel stacks that caused the problems actually. The AI isn't so bad that it can't beat a human player who also has to fight off 10 times their force limits in rebels every time the thread makes a bad decision.

Hashim posted:Seriously? No, it was entirely the thread’s fault. Our army size was almost 90k and our force limit was 115k before all this went down (not to mention me having a hefty enough treasury), whilst the rebels were pretty much never larger than 50k, which I purposely did to ensure they would manageable unless something went very wrong. The thread going nuts was what did it, dragging us into the Internal Conflicts Disaster (which is vanilla), which fires an event that massively lowered our autonomy 3 or 4 times, which pretty much destroyed our force limit. To add to that, most rebel stacks are wiped out if you defeat them in one battle, so it would’ve been easy to crush them under normal circumstances. I actually referring to the previous civil war which was when things started to get really hosed, perhaps it's the wrong perception from reading the LP but it seemed like that was when you started to have serious problems because it gave the AI time to catch up (and probably put you hugely behind the curve in terms of buildings, but again, it's impossible to tell just from a few screenshots). Though obviously getting tons of autonomy in all your provinces ruined everything and you're probably never supposed to actually chose that event option.

Ralepozozaxe posted:How did we undermine it at every turn, by converting what little land we could? That didn't screw us. By building mosques? that didn't screw us. How is this our fault. Besides, all of the "good friendly christians" we had under our wing took every chance to revolt or rebel when they could. Dont blame the noly faction to never hold power for our country being in poop, we did no wrong. Unless you're expanding very fast and not getting gigantic amounts of WE it's very to avoid 90% of revolts in EU4, however one thing which is almost guaranteed to create revolts is converting high development provinces without having enough missionary power to make that process fast enough to beat the rebel timer. An active missionary is +6 RR, usually if you're going to commit to a conversion strategy you stack missionary strength bonuses so that this doesn't happen, but that's what happens when you're RPing / have a bunch of angry goons forcing you to take bad decisions V  VNewMars posted:You know, just once I'd like to see an LP without France in it. It just seems like a constant that is driven to always exist no matter how ahistorical the rest of the world gets. Gothlp doesn't count because there, we are France. France isn't even that scary usually in EU any more, the France in this game is about the most aggressive I've seen in an EU game for absolutely ages, probably because it had a muslim Spain.

paragon1 posted:Nah I don't think anyone is trying to point at anyone else in the thread and go THIS IS YOUR FAULT WHY DID YOU RUIN THINGS ON PURPOSE!?!? It's actually very interesting to see how much harder it is to beat the AI with a few extra handicaps. I think it's a shame that the game mostly makes it quite easy to avoid getting meaningfully large obstacles thrown in your way other than the occasional sneaky AI alliance.

It really boils my piss that stupid strip of Moroccan territory is going to sit there for loving ages. Hopefully we get cores on it so we can use it to start a crisis in Victoria (and probably get pooped on in the ensuing war but poo poo happens) Just so everyone knows in case we get to vote on poo poo: game-mechanics wise cores are really important in V2 so maintaining a claim to the full and rightful territory of Al-Andalus through the upcoming negotiations is most critical, moreso than actually gaining territory. If we get the option to obtain a small concession in exchange for renouncing our rights to other regions then it's very much a poisoned chalice.

SlothfulCobra posted:On the one hand, it may be a lot of work just to retain all the gains Andalus made in the last 15 years, but on the other hand, toward the "natural order" end of things, the Iberian peninsula was totally united 50 years ago. By all rights Aragon should just re-join the fold, especially if France tries to undo the last 50 years as well by taking back all of Occitania. Yeah it's worth pointing out even beyond that you have to go back a long rear end way to get to a point where Al-Andalus didn't own the vast majority of Iberia with just the very northeastern most regions being in more of a state of flux between France and various petty christian kingdoms. I can see a Belgium-esque buffer state being set up along those lines (Navarra-Catalonia? Kingdom of the Pyrenees?) but it would seem really weird if we don't at least get back Valencia.
