Pharnakes posted:One of the features I best liked in Europa Barbarorum was the this year in history popups. Yearly wouldn't be right in EU4 but maybe century or half century events with a brief rundown of what your nation was up to at that time would be cool, so you could compare how your world is unfolding against reality, which is always one of the coolest bits of map games imho. isn't that the idea with ages and things like the league war

yeah florry is less "how do i make a claim to avoid no cb wars" and more "how do i exploit the only event in the game that changes government to steppe horde to get a horde United States"

being of the leader of the protestant league is insanely good because it means the war will actually fire instead of petering out after 50 years of cold war

Contingency Plan posted:Any tips for getting an Ardabil game off the ground? You start with one 9 dev province, a tiny army, Qara Qoyunlu hates your guts and nobody important is willing to ally you. start a war, offer to become their vassal in the peace deal, get your independence supported by their rivals and take land in the peace deal this might not work but it's worth trying

rights of man has ruler/leader traits, consorts (which means almost never having a regency), disinherting bad heirs, special prussia government where all rulers have at least 3 mil, coptic bonuses for good good copttomans play, special ottoman government for normal ottomans play, strengthen government third rome makes russia super strong and has the orthodox bonuses, which are all pretty good

here's a cool fort trick for fun and profit: if you start a siege of a fort that was mothballed before the next month tick, it will always treat it as an unfortified province (even if they start paying for it (and they will)) and will only take one siege phase to conquer so always check for mothballed forts before you go to war, start your wars at the beginning of the month, and beeline for mothballed forts if you can make it in 30 days

hello i forget. i know you can't declare war on the hre if you're in allied and in a war with the emperor, but you can declare a war if you're already fighting the emperor in a non-hre defense right. so attack ireland, they call in austria, declare on ragusa, whom austria would defend as part of the hre

there's a perpetual cycle that countries go through that determines what happens with the "top" royal marriage if the country dies without an heir. it's Foreign Dynasty on Throne - > Personal Union -> Straight Up Inheritance. the last two obvs have waaaay smaller windows than just Dynasty on Throne and a bunch of stuff advances or resets the cycle. it's not very well documented

QuarkJets posted:Nice. That looks like one of the harder ones to pull off yeah i had a lot of good luck i think. i beat the ottomans to the jerusalem area which let me get cyprus, which let me use the knights and their various baby alliances as my door to europe. the reformations hit europe hard, so that when the Diet of Wein came, the only catholics left were austria, france, venice, ragusa, and cologne. the emperorship became hereditary, but then cologne and ragusa became electors so a vassalization and couple of no cbs later the hre was gone. france ate castile so there was only one real superpower i was afraid of in europe, but they never allied anyone but venice. they took defender of the catholic faith but it obviously didn't matter to the central indians, rajput cultures, and bohemians: oddium posted:if you have hostile core creation +50% in your national ideas

RabidWeasel posted:Pro tip Baluchistan has exactly enough development that you can shift to Baluchi as Hormuz if you don't conquer any other stated provinces before then. And also Hormuz can flip Ibadi if you send a missionary to the right province on day 1 and then accept rebel demands. you gotta start as one of the three ibadi nations to be eligible for the achievement and i ain't sticking with Boaty McBoatface's ideas, or their lack of permanent claims on one of the richest regions in the world

fun fact: for Choson One you have to start as korea, but there's nothing saying you can't vassal switch, and there's nothing saying the player nation has to own all the eastern religious provinces. so you could theoretically: vassal switch to a manchu tribe form manchu conquer a specific aztec city get an event to embrace Nahuatlism crush asia under the scales of the winged serpent keep korea alive on a tiny island with the only confucian province which i was in the process of doing before i got bored

in my Rajput Reich run i was in a perpetual state of endgame wars, fielding and reinforcing ~220 units. never dipped below 60k manpower, never suffered a deficit from reinforcing because cheaper units means cheaper maintenance and reinforce cost. quantity is good, to me less does more with quality/offensive/mercs but you're going to run out of money or manpower or both
