eu4 is still better

eu5 is the best game they ever made

EU5 moment

What is the coolest tag you've ever seen?

Can exploration missions be canceled midway through if they get too expensive?

why the fuck is my army stuck here
I can only move to the fort
I'm literally losing the war only because of this

how do i stop my game from automatically unpausing when i click an event

>>2215349
VGH....

Any loverslab mods for eu5 yet?

England switched to Latin at the beginning of the game and they have been Anglia ever since.

You cannot move into or out of mountain provinces during winter

When I reach Asia and start bullying the natives it's finally going to get fun... right?

there are only hills there. the 12 men levy on the left is easily able to move into that occupied province and back, it's only my main army that is stuck for some reason

Sometimes money just disappears from my treasury. Why?

what's the easiest formable? ryukyu or gilan?

Maya game's over.
For some reason when I reformed into feudalism I lost literally 90% of my levies and I don't have enough money or manpower for a full standing army yet.

Would have been fine if I wasn't jumped with court and country and 90% of my provinces flipping to the nobles despite them being crippled as an estate
Fuck you, paradox.

I think if I did another maya run again I'd have scaled way, way harder.

Why it isn't deactivated by default?

>>2215378
Look at the province to the right of the enemy army - there's a no movement icon on it
Hover over it and it will tell you why

>>2215390
By historical France standards this is actually rather tame

>>2215379
You probably have something set to automate and the AI is buying stuff (probably buildings or goods). There should be sliders to limit how much they can spend.

>>2215368
>>>/vt/pcg

>>2215399
No. Because this game is good and does a bunch of things very well, unlike gta. It also is very fun and accurate, unlike gta which was funded to promote ghetto trash.

>>2215403
Does trade automation take directly from your treasury? I assumed it went on the balance sheet.

ok so if you hold control and right click it moves all of the same type to reserves
less clicks to all move your regulars

>>2215412
Fucking godsend.

>>2215412
do you know if artillery goes in the reserve only?

I've basically not researched any military tech except for the production buildings.
What is supposed to be good? Tactics? New unit? New levies?

>>2215416
Tactics is OP in other Paradox games so it's probably OP in this one as well.
You want artillery for sure.

Cultural Hegemon gets a special cabinet action to assimilate an entire area. I used this to destroy Emilian culture in 30 years or so.

Where's the Johan Apology Form?

>call crusade for the holy land
>most countries can't figure out how to get troops there so we're fighting at only a fraction of our capacity
how do I help the retarded AI of castile move its stack of 34k troops to the holy land

>>2215421
nice culture
very thick

half of the french army is fucking around in bavaria/alps thanks to austria

>>2215409
I don’t think it does unless you have bad trades. But that effects your income per month, not taking money out of the treasury like it’s buying stuff.

>>2215431
10 years of development and they still haven't improved any of the AI pitfalls of EU4

the reform is way too strong
only 20 years in every single catholic area even far away corners near the middle east and spain have 10-30% lutheran minorities everywhere

>>2215426
Thats pretty much the reason byzantium god wrecked by a crusade instead of the muslims

>>2215416
Artillery is very useful for sieges, less so in combat early on. For most countries, standing armies aren't really useful until the mid to late 1400s so before then you should focus on levies if available.

But what makes a valid location AAAAAHHHHHHHH

Is there a loading screens mod yet?
Look at this woke piece of shit

>>2215434
My income is very high but I don't gain all of it every month, which suggests the AI is spending some on the first of every month, and I periodically have small sums of money disappear from my treasury. I disabled building automation and that didn't fix it.
Could it be subsidized buildings, or closing/opening buildings?

>>2215442
hover over it

>>2215442
click the location you want to create a market in
go to the top where it shows market access %
right click to create a market
if you can't it's probably because you have a market access preference treaty with someone nearby

Woah is there a bug that gives you -60 stability or something?
I don't remember doing anything to fuck my stability over

>>2215459

>>2215474
No. I'm pretty sure it happened after I loaded the game back up (I was just doing my laundry)
I didn't do anything right before I left and now I just got back and noticed it.
Reloading an auto save from 5 days prior shows 40 stab (which is what I remembered having) so I'm pretty sure this is a bug

You can ask one of the existing banks to become your state banks. Never got any of them even close to accepting tho.

No lol, even though they added so many ruler mechanics. HRE emperorship is decided exclusively by country, the only thing the character who is emperor influences is that when he dies there's an election.

Think of it as being the spirit of a nation rather than being the ruler of a nation like you'd be in Crusader Kings. You are playing as Denmark itself not as the ruler of it per se.

>>2215493
more control in a women's football game

>>2215349
The game really makes you notice how much of Europe's history revolved around supresing Frogland and how lucky minor political entities (specially italian and german oned) got with the Jawbsburgs' early dynastic success (because now you got the french and the austrians+spanish at each other's throats instead of the BBB just expanding at will with no equivalent force to face it)

>>2215497
No lmao

Anyone succeeded in uniting Ireland yet?

>>2215497
Yes but I believe it's lot more tedius than the 4 version, lot more clicking

Why does the map look like shit

>>2214058
Is the game actually worth getting right now or all the normies just glazing it like they did with ck3?

>>2215503
>the BBB just expanding at will with no equivalent force to face it
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”

so most countries will simply not send troops to fight in a crusade?

>>2215497
yes easily.

I still don't get how maritime presence affects control.

It's decent but you should pirate it, and this shit is pretty buggy at the moment so be prepared for that.

You should have set to supportive for your side not theirs

>>2215520
Jury is out, it's definitely being glazed but I'm hearing complaints that seem quite drastic tbqh
Specifically about AI, inability to perform basic actions (like acquiring casus belli), lack of transparency of mechanics, and what might be bugs or might be bad design relating to all the above when it comes to stuff like control, annexation and PUs
Is it ignorant complaints? Is it people glazing over a fundamentally flawed game? Is it both? I'm waiting to see regardless

>>2215520
I'm having a lot of fun with it, I enjoyed CK - Vic - and EU, and this game takes a lot from all three.
If you can tolerate some bugs and jank it's fun in my opinion, maybe wait a month to buy.
Pirate or buy, I think this will eventually be Johan's redemption after the imperator fiasco

>>2215536
Chat is this true?

How do you actually flip religion to a different group btw?

>>2215520
The game is a startlingly good base. The only things I think are pretty bad right now are the proximity calculations, which directly play into control. No AI nation will basically ever form a large nation because right now it is effectively literally impossible, proximity can't be re-transmitted over coastal tiles and proximity is pretty drastically bad at game start.

If Paradox makes it so proximity can be sent over sea tiles properly and not just a gradual tick-up then I think it will solve a huge amount of the problems. But right now the game is basically vassal simulator.

Nta how's trade automation even work, looking at my trade sheet every month is wasn't doing the most profitable trades

>>2215562
are you playing in Italy?
that's what happened to me, I haven't been able to solve it even after destroying both Genoa and Venice and adding other larger agricultural nations to the market

>>2215578
Yup. Florence.
Decided to ditch Genoa and oh boy. Guess I'm saddled with them because holy shit, there's no way in hell I'm reaching a "basically free" food price of 0.01. Because I don't see myself going self-sustainable with those RGOs, ever.

>>2215571
The basics of trade are very easy to do actually. You should leave it automated so the AI can fill the gaps, but all you need to know for the basics is flip through the tabs and decide whether you want max profit or import shit your people need. Click on a trade you want to do and it appears at the top in current trades. Make sure they’re locked with the left button on the trade. Let it go and come back later. If it ends, AI will fill it with something so you don’t miss out on using your trade capacity. If it becomes an unprofitable trade, end it and pick a different one.

Can I ask about how to fix the Inefficient Mining thing?

>>2215588
Its only exporting cloth for 1.5 and not importing say gold for 3

>>2215503
I just hope that Paradox addresses this by adding a proper balance of power mechanic so that France's neighbors align together, rather than just artificially nerfing France (which is what they did in EU4), as that would also translate into a nice challenge for players once you consolidate and start outscaling the AI. Antagonism is a poor check on expansion and easy to game, especially since countries no longer have that absurd base 10k manpower floor which made fighting a coalition of HRE minors a death sentence.

>>2215598
Inefficient minting?
Conquer or trade for precious metals and mercury

>>2215599
>exporting precious metals

is anyone else having an issue of their estates being broke? they're spending way too much on goods. i'm not sure if i should make them cheaper or just say fuck em

>>2215593
That UI is really shit because sometimes every single trade it shows is not possible because of low trade advantage.

>>2215592
All the food is in the North, you'll have to conquer Lombardy and max out the RGOs + build windmills and irrigation. If you want to go all in do forest villages and fishing villages, and build farming villages on your livestock and wheat provinces.

>>2215605
I said importing gold. I was playing holland

>>2215603
I let the AI handle my trading desu
Is it possible to manually trade for it? Does the AI just not consider it? I'm losing out on around 4 gold via the inefficient minting so it might be worthwhile to trade for it but I've honestly just been ignoring trade because it made my head hurt.
I could definitely try to conquer a gold RGO but it will be a long term goal from my current position in Naples

I'm overwhelmed. What do I do first?

>>2215549
>proximity can't be re-transmitted over coastal tiles
unless I did not understand you, coastal ties absolutely relay control

>>2215382
it can fuck with your cpu and cause some frame drops

>>2214725
>now some ethiopian guy is regent. no idea how he even got here
That's because the people at Paradox are massive retards who think the Armenian Orthodox Church and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church are the same thing just because both of those are Miaphysites, thus you probably got some advisors from Ethiopia in your court, when in reality the Ethiopia of that time was basically disconnected from the rest of the Christendom.

>>2215594
We truly dodged a bullet there. I wonder if modern turks would still larp as stepniggas in that timeline or instead start wewuzing as TRVE romans.

>>2215475
How the did Hungarians, Prussians, old Saxons and Livonians end up speaking Latin?

would have been a better start tbqhwyd

>>2215594
Sovl

>>2215608
They're perpetually bankrupt for me too.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understand it, the estates get an uneven slice of all the money for selling the things they've produced to the market, then get taxed, THEN have to buy all this shit back for their pop needs. At this point I have no idea how they would ever end up in the green.

>>2215623
Bruh they called themselves Rûmi in our timeline.

>>2215599
In my experience, those gold trades end up being very unstable and never actually go through. Not 100% sure how it works but I think it's just local countries in those markets with much higher trade advantage who want the gold for minting. Probably the UI should be updated to account for this, as it happens with other resources too (but not as often).

>>2215618
Proximity translates over sea zones, but does not RE-transmit. If you got 100 proximity in Plymouth and had a province right next to it, inland, that was 0 proximity, that 0 proximity province would receive no proximity from Plymouth.

>>2215455
I have debug mode on. Where do I turn that off?

>>2215608
It's a good thing honestly. The occasional library or road isn't worth all the bad buildings rich estate build.

>>2215600
I mean France should be nerfed somewhat. There's a reason they only actually managed to effectively project power with absolutism and centralisation. France in EU5 can just shrug off anything.

>old Saxons

>>2215644
if your treasury goes negative while the estates are broke you are forced to declare bankruptcy because there aren't any loans available

>>2215633
I know, but nowadays their larp is about being 100% steppe blooded people, that and saying that all steppeniggas under the sun were ach-tually turkish.

>>2215622
Well, it's still a bit early but Ethiopians reconnected somehow with the rest ot Christendom in the 1400s. See for example the correspondence between some Ethiopian ruler and the Aragonese King and the presence of an Ethiopian delegation at the council of Basel-Florence.

>>2215612
>Is it possible to manually trade for it?
Yes, and you can partially automate your trades to give you capacity for critical trades using this slider (you get one for each market).
>Does the AI just not consider it?
AFAIK, the only things the AI prioritizes for trades is trade income and pop needs fulfillment. Second order effects like minting inefficiency aren't considered
I am completely chatting shit though.

>>2215641
literally unplayable

>>2215650
nobles and lack of centralisation mostly held france back in the early stages

>>2215657
I don't think central Asian Turks actually give a shit about them do they?

>>2215641
it does for me

>>2215650
>There's a reason they only actually managed to effectively project power with absolutism and centralisation
The reason was being kept in check by their Habsburg rivals first and the eternal anglo later on.

Opinion on Albania and other south slavs?

>>2215341 (OP)
gonna ask again cause none of us noobs knew last thread, but why is my city still at 0 proximity when its connected to my road network? are the jews involved?

1474, really happy with how things look like at the moment. western europe dominated by me, von Luxemburgs on throne of HRE, russians kicking horde's teeth. only sad case is of the ottomans, they converted to orthodox then hibernated since then

>>2215641
>>2215669

there's an event causing -75% satisfaction and I have literally no fucking idea what the event was, when it happened, or when it ends because the UI is so shit

>>2215655
So I presume the mere fact that the official language of Catholic Ecclesiastical states is Latin is enough for the AI/Game to treat it as if it was a living language capable of spreading to peasants and laborers like German, French, etc?

>>2215680
i fucking laughed

its so bad its funny

>>2215674
not zero prox cause bailiff but why isnt my road network to wein giving a bonus too?

>>2215674
bailiff overriding proximity from capital?

>>2215675
Nice map anon, was england fun?

>>2215628
Hungary starts like that, I remember it from one of the Tinto talks.

>>2215675
portugal is obliterated in this game every fucking time

>>2215671
I'd argue internal strife did more than either, Burgundians fucked over the crown more than the Anglo's managed, wars of religion kept them in a state of at the very least civil war for a large part of the 16th... France really hasn't changed in 700 hundred years fuck me.

Remember that OP unit type in EU4?
It's them now.

>>2215693
really is the opposite of EU4 where they just sit around chilling committing colonial crimes the whole game

>>2215694
In the game every one of their subjects is 100% loyal because decentralization does that.

>>2215650
>There's a reason they only actually managed to effectively project power with absolutism and centralisation
They were enemies with virtually every other European power and still managed to consolidate French land (contested by England and the Hapsburgs), build a pretty sizable colonial empire, and on occasion project a good amount of power into Italy and Germany. I do agree that the lack of centralization should be a problem relative to other powers at game start (which it actually is, as France actually has some fairly significant debuffs relating to noble power etc.), but the number one priority of every Western European state from 1453-1814 was to contain France—and France still managed to expand.

>>2215693
Not in my run. It's almost 1400 and Portugal is even a bit larger in the south having taken some border provinces from Castille some 40 years ago.

>>2215693
Castile absolutely DEPISES portugal and loves granada/morroco for some reason.

>decades of peace and prosperity for bohemia
>hussites pop up

>>2215684
its court language, not popular language. here, have a dialect map
>>2215691
Hundred Years War is absolutely kino from Englands perspective because of how complex wars get during every phase. only thing I did not have fun with was forcing PU on France, as math just does not math and I had to game'ify my armies to have enough warscore to actually enforce it.
im pretty much set and i only just begin colonising
>>2215693
yeah and they always leave Granada for some reason. France also gets a weird hard on for Aragon.

>>2215628

Fucking forest Swedes and coastal Finns every time.

How do I spread proximity across the sea? Specifically the Mediterranean.

Are there any modifiers like -morale hit on naval loss in EU4 where they play into the systems so well it makes them broken?

>>2215717

Maritime Presence. build ships, send them on partols, watch the presence rise. it lowers cost of moving prox through water. after that, there is also port entry / exit, but I am still not sure how to effectively lower it

In my next run I'll play Bavaria, Flanders/Brabant or Bohemia and become the largest producer of beer in the world.

this shit got me holding my pee

>>2215668
They do not, no. If anything they mostly find them annoying.

>>2215637
Im more generally curious how trade works in general, where's the money in the trade come from? As aren't most trades just filling up the local stockpile? Are you selling it at the good cost into the market stockpile? How is the base price of a good related to the income you get for the trade?

>>2215731
how did you get that cool flag

>>2215735
own and core paris (this i am sure), or win hundred years war and it will get reduced to three fleurs later down the line.

How would you unite Silesia?

>Maritime Presence. build ships, send them on partols, watch the presence rise. it lowers cost of moving prox through water. after that, there is also port entry / exit, but I am still not sure how to effectively lower it
Does building ports matter? I've conquered Alexandria and most of Palestine and I'm trying to decide if I can get away with integrating them or if I'll have to make them vassals.

>>2215680
could also be multiple -15% events stacking on top of eachother

bravo Johan

>>2215741
yes everything that raises harbor capacity lowers proximity cost, both in departure point and destination
natural harbors also help

Is there any way to get rid of the negative buildings that estates build?

>>2215741
unless i miss any further research and dont see the buildings, there are just these two building-wise and, desu, its not really effective. one caravel does the same shit and you still get the ship, stack then of them you see how it goes

>>2215745
His competition approves.

>>2215748
Go into the province and delete them

Any good map mods yet?

You better pay your fucking debt.

>>2215748
you can just delete them but it costs estate loyalty

or you could just make them from the state you want them to convert, force culture on them since loyalty doesnt matter and the whole thing goes even faster since it scales with control

enjoy -50 relations after first annex, you wont be able to annex them after third unless you wait for the negative to decay. also, the more subjects of the same type you have, the worse because their military power stacks against you directly. you want to split subjects, have some fiefdoms, dominions, vassals etc

Adolf... Günther... Skyrim... forefathers... the VVestern birthrates... it's over...

genuine question, how much do you guys understand the micro of the nation you're playing? Just started my campaign as England and I feel like I'll need to spend a few hours just researching my economy to make the right choices for the hundreds of locations economically speaking.

I really like the game but I feel completely out of my depth on the economy (I'm not automating anything cos I'm not an NPC). I didn't play Vic either, only eu3

>>2215823
You tell me this after I just spent 2k converting coastal provinces to towns for more sailors

>>2215824
>(I'm not automating anything cos I'm not an NPC).
then you'll be playing on 1 speed the entire time

and thats okay because thats what i do

Believable worlds

>>2215824
I basically ignore everything outside of my capital and surrounding cities with the exception of occasionally upgrading RGOs

Just found a bug where if you get some guy to integrate a province and then change the target of integration to another province through the outliner(right click) you can integrate several provinces at once. When he finishes integrating one he stops doing the other ones too, but the integration progress remains. Do with this information whatever you will.

>>2215830
>then you'll be playing on 1 speed the entire time
I am OK with this. 500 years of history should take an epically long time.
>>2215832
Yeah I want to take that approach but I feel like I'm ignoring the other cities which is suboptimal

>>2215831
That picture is hilarious the fuck are the choirboys doing? Is that a Rabbi? The Inquisitor looks to have given up.

>>2215826
It's only 0.1% so not that much, cheap food and land availability can offset it easily.
But the idea is don't convert locations to towns unless they already have a decently high population.

>>2215835
>I feel like I'm ignoring the other cities which is suboptimal
It's not, if you can't extract money from it then there's no point in investing in it. The optimal play is to instead of ignoring them straight up releasing a vassal.
The far off cities only start to matter once you get the means to spead your control there.

>>2215824
I just started as England too and I don't think it's that complicated
>see I've got a massive surplus of wool and its worth nothing in London market
>export as much as I can to Dutchia where they're paying premium and start building a spinner's guild in London to use the rest on making clothes or some shit
And then I'll see what's what in a year

>>2215823
>>building towns cuts your pop growth massively because only rural pops fuck apparently
medieval cities were such disease and crime ridden hellscapes that their populations only grew because of immigration from the countryside until the 1800s

>I'm not automating anything cos I'm not an NPC)
Some things are necessary to automate or you’re just doing it wrong and being inefficient. Like your taxes on estates. Click the automate next to the sliders and it will always taxes the most it can without upsetting them. Otherwise you are being inefficient. Just go unautomate a slider when a special need arises to tax more or less. Trade should also be automated so that if a trade ends and you’re not paying attention to that screen, the AI will replace it with something so you’re not wasting your trade capacity.

>>2215759
the tutorial literally recommends you do this

Inviting settlers doesn't seem to do anything. I even got an event saying it'd move Muslims to my country due to flavor about the expansion of Islam. But both times I've accepted did nothing.

look at what resources you have
see their prices in the market
low supply high demand? good money
high supply low demand? bad money
upgrade the RGO on the resources that gives good money
build markets to improve market capacity and
sell that shit to market

alternatively

check other market
wool in england is a good example
its abundant and thus super cheap
but mainland europe buy that wool at premium
max produce wool as england and sell to mainland europe for big money
use cheap wool in your own country to pump out textiles, paper and other resources that can then be used yourself to over abundance and then sold on market for big moneys

Yes, I do think the requirements to form the Netherlands are way too low, though I did form it while still having Gelre under my direct control.

And, through vassalage and fiefdom, I control Friesland, Neder- and Oversticht, and Gelre. Then there are the lands I directly occupy, which 'de facto' consist of Zeeland, Brabant, Loon, Limburg, and opper Gelre, but de jure also include the titles of Holland and Hainaut

Tax base is divided among your estates and then you tax them. You can't tax land directly, it's abstracted away to local landowners.

New update seems to have fixed some of the AI passivity issues, big Ottomans early and Timur actually spawning, though the AI is still retarded when it comes to ships, saw the Aydinids and the Byzantines keep their entire armies in boats till they starved to death, both unwilling to either naval invade or return to port.

>>2216143
>Estates can be used for political parties
Vicky 3 has already made that mistake once with their interest groups.

>>2216143
I expect a mod will be doing this in the next 2 years.
And it will steal most of V3's playerbase.

Paradox pays this guy btw

pump diplomacy and beg catholics for moneys and pump out soldiers

huh?

DAMMIT

>>2216164
What does this do? Don't remember it in the Tinto Talks

>>2216140
why are europeans so annoying like this
its so easy and free to just not be a whiny bitch about your autistic fixation but they insist upon it

heh..

>>2216167
brainwashing

>>2216162
He has 30k subs on youtube and is a Paradox Affiliate

>>2216149
damn thanks, i been fucking slacking on upgrading my rgos then... i just build buildings

>>2216165
It appears to be about the italian states kicking out foreign powers.

>>2216160
>>2216170
Wasn't he specifically not payed to shill eu5?

>>2216167
mutts would never understand because they dont have any culture and postmodern nihilism makes them think caring about anything is "cringe"

>>2216175
He got early access to the game so he has something going with Paradox

>>2216085
I can't figure this fucking game out. I stopped for the evening. If your income drops 50 ducats out of no where from trade you should at least get some kind of notification for it. I'm gonna start a muscovy game next so I don't have to deal with trade as much.

>>2216101
The thing with eu5 is that it’s all really simple and common sense when put together. The learning curve is realizing where everything is in the UI and knowing the mechanics exist in the first place.

>You can see the little cows out in the field
It so irrelevant to a game like this, but it still adds to the soul and comfyness desu. Especially with you being able to mouse over them or specific building to get its into

bored of microing the increase control dude, automating my cabinet

There's an inherent bias to creating female heirs. Monogamy in Japan just creates gynocratic suicide

>>2216183
when you build bridges they show on the map as well, also terrain picture changes depending of what buildings you build, for example if you build a cathedral, said cathedral will show up in the province picture.

>>2216183
Its the first paradox game I actually play in terrain mode most of the time

>>2216176
That’s incorrect. Americans are earnest and sincere. Brits in particular think sincerity and showing signs of caring is gay and not worth it.

>>2216125
vghhh die osterreichische habsburgischer reich muss groBer sein!

>>2216106
>you need instant feedback
This is an unfathomably retarded take and forces the game into being an obscenely oversimplified mess. Strategy games work well when (1) you have to make meaningful longterm decisions weighing short term and long term consequences then deal with those consequences as they arrive, and (2) the vast majority of decisions are minor on their own, but very important in aggregate.

>>2216183

>>2216189
combined two screenshots cause im drunk but yea im gonna PU naples lol

>>2216196
Wrong, it's way more stimulating when you spend 50 diplomana and annex an entire country.

>>2216059
can someone who has the game tell me if burgundy is playable with flavour? I'm not getting a copy until the game isnt shit.

After forming Italy I'm going to chill and start a new game.
What do you recommend, bros?
I was thinking of playing a French vassal and going for colonization, a Japanese BBC or one of the Persian tags to see how Islam works.

>>2216185
>There's an inherent bias to creating female heirs
Good, I like forming PUs

>>2216203
majapahit, form malaya

>>2216203

pick the emperor

kys faggot its BBN for all the non cuck tranny libtards

>>2216203

BBC's in japan are so overrated

>Playing Bongland
>win the first part of the 100 years war
>everyone hates me now
>they have formed a coalition
wtf? What am I meant to do in this war if not take land?

>>2216036
>>2216069
Picrel for reference

But I do think they should restrict the formable to controlling at least half or even 2/3rds of the region. 48 and 62 locations respectively, instead of the current 28. Even if you take Netherlands to be 'formed' with the Plakaat of Verlatinghe (it wasn't), the signees included, among a couple others, Brabant, Flanders, Holland, Utrecht, Gelre, and Friesland. In EU5 terms that would be, in total, 63 locations.

>no historical event that establishes the kalmar union
Nice bias swedecucks.

>>2216203
Greenland
99% of your gameplay is using favors to ask for settlers and money, but you can see North America from the start of the game

Holy molly do professional armies fucking OWN

>>2216212
It's literally a thing at the start though
>Denmark isn't part of it
GOOD.

>>2216140
>You surrender your own right to be called human when you support russias actions.

>>2216216
the danish are the chads of scandinavia, the coolest vikangs who did all the vikang shit, and the leaders of the kalmar union, sorry le sweden was le based and le revelant for 20 years of human history during the le deluge which they lost and became an irrelevant shithole again right after

>requirements not me
>shows nothing
What am I doing wrong here?

>>2216140
notice how each was posted like an hour apart

he kept coming back to this comment section over the span of 6 hours, writing to himself each time.

One can hardly comprehend this level of butthurt

>>2216189
Certified A.E.I.O.U moment

>>2216225
Then he deleted it out of shame.
It's all gone.

>>2216224
Nvm, just figured out I have to mouse over it. Kind of mad Sweden and Novgorod get to jointly decide to cuck me out of land though lol

>>2216224
Theres an agreement with Sweden before the game that the land is theirs.

>>2216227
HE COULD BE IN THIS VERY THREAD

>>2216205
I wouldn't mind if it was more like a one off but like 1/5th of japan is ruled by women and it's not even 1400. I think half the problem is because of the lack of characters to begin with. Even the fucking Shogun is a woman. I know they're supposed to collapse but paradox, please.

>>2216210
So am i not meant to take land? What am I doing wrong?

>>2216226
BASED

Sicilybros...

>>2216140
There is no way Lambert isn't just ragebaiting. Each post is written in such a satirical way with pure ignorance on display.
Capitalizing SS in Russia. The idea that putting 'the' in front of a country name is fascist. Pretending that we've always called Kiev, 'Kyiv'.
I'm sure if an Azov member saw any of this they'd sieg heil and kill Lambert just out of the disrespect he shows lmao.

>>2216236
give that to vassals next time

>>2216236
You are supposed to release them as 1 province vassals to gain control and convert the culture.
But also not get tons of antagonism, else there will be IOs formed against (You)

>>2216116
Ot depends if certain locations even reach your market too. Like northern Sweden or Norway or whatever it is.

if I'm colonizing should I snatch every single location so others don't get the range?

>>2216243
>There is no way Lambert isn't just ragebaiting
No he really is like this, in his videos he has the classic green Zelensky shirt in the background.
He was also sperging so hard on the Paradox forums, he almost got banned.

>>2216243
dude i like ukraine over russia but he is just such a faggot, i discovered him from his early acsess euv shit and he just talks so condescendingly for no fucking reason at all. easily one of the most hateable human beings of all time. when talking about suggestions for the game he just acts so smug and condescending to paradox and the audience. hes just a total ultra smug libtard

>>2216210
Hatres towards the eternal Anglo is how every normal human feels

>>2216235
I also found out that your ruler's death is pre-determined at a certain point.

i have to change my laws to allow foreign religion because my kids grow up at my wifes court (she's a filthy orthodog)
but nobody cared when a black man was appointed regent then king and his heirs still dont even speak our language

>>2216255
how the hell did you wind up with a nigger as regent

reckon France will cuck the shit out of me if we go prozzy?

>>2216255
Wow, they added BBC's AND NTR in this game

>press the big button
>they refuse despite having zero reason to

France? Never heard of that shit

>>2216245
>>2216246
You think this save file is bricked then? Its Ironman.
>>2216252
Sorry but I'm a Norse-French-Anglo mutt at the moment, dios mois

>>2216258
Is calvinism in the game?

>>2216252
brown folx arent humans

>>2216258
as long you have more regulars you don't have to actually care about France's opinion.

>>2216258
Make friends with England and Bohemia if that flips, but theres a good chance of it.

>>2216268
yes

>>2215379
your ashkenazi population is too high

>>2216279
>No one notices the jews shaving the edges of coins
many such cases.

any idea what is required to be able to relocate market center? i place it in an ass province and want to change it up

WHATS THIS GAMES FUCKING PROBLEM WITH FORCING ME TO JOIN WARS, I KEEP BEING FORCED INTO WARS FOR NO REASON BY MY FAGGOT ALLIES WHO I DONT HAVE AUTO JOIN DEFENSIVE PACTS WITH

>>2216043
1457!
Which one are we betting on for unification?

>>2216285
you owe them favors, they're just cashing in

>>2216258
seems we're going Lutheran

>>2215570
once they get a decent navy they will come fuck you up don't worry
my first Ireland run as Clandeboye got wrecked by Scotland around 1370
when I played Connacht afterwards I got a defensive league with Scotland once I was big enough, helps keep them on your side and keep the *nglos away

>moscow gets global trade
huh?

>>2216036
I think the 80 years war is really cool and it's a shame that there's no chance of it actually happening remotely like it did historically.

>>2216288
WTF THE AI CAN DO THAT, HOW DO I LOSE FAVORS WITH THESE FAGGOTS

>>2216286
Ottomans have some richer lands but also lands full of people who hate them. It honestly could go either way.

>>2216235
Is this because of seppuku? I haven't played in Japan but I know that's a mechanic they have. Are all the male characters just honorably killing themselves?

I'm tired, boss... I want off Mr. Hus' wild ride...

VGH I love me some crashing the lumber market, expanding farming estates over the curia and taking a shitton of debts that I'm just gonna pay off by devaluing my currency and then deflating it until the next curia

everyone that doubted needs to apologise

>>2216296
curry favors yourself

>>2216304
I've never seen an option to force a character to commit it, the game mechanics are so barebones you gain literally nothing except memes from doing it to yourself. You have to go out of your way to lose honour from playing so far.

>>2216305
only 2 more wars to match the historical amount of crusades against the Hussite

>>2216286
Eretnids have more room to easily expand east, might give them a leg up in the long run

>>2216284
bump please send help

>>2216305
You vill get in the wagon fort.
You vill own nothing (burned by Germans)
And you vill be happy.

>>2216319
wtf is this real???
how did they fuck up so badly

>>2216302
>Ottomans have some richer lands
Actually wrong!
Ottomans have a tax base of 89.
Eretnids have a tax base of 178.
>>2216323
It's possible, Ottomans ran into the brick wall of Bulgaria.

Whether you like this game or not is genuinely an IQ test

>>2216313
Doesn’t that give them favors too?

probably dorky for me to say but it is cool as fuck that you can issue orders to your regiments

>>2216305
My hussite wars ended with Rome burning and Bohemia reverting to Catholicism anyway.

>>2216336
Not really I love it more then any gsg already but it’s just an entirely different game then eu4. Eu4 is an arcade boardgame which has its own appeal, and this is an actually simulation game.

>>2216308
>in your language
it's funny how much of a difference it makes to filter everyone too low IQ to speak english

what a chad
anyway 1523 and we're just about to start exploring, let's see what scraps the Castilians have left for us

>>2216330
Poland, they intervened a few times on their behalf.

>>2216354
wawa wee wa very nice

Doomers keep getting btfo'd time and time again. Doomfaggots have no place in modern society.

>>2215366
vgh...

how do i get the printing press to leave italy finally

>>2216371
trade with them

>executes all POWs
heh... nothing personal...

>>2216236
bro how was that going to work directly controlling a swathe of inland france without vassals. Fortunately what you can do is release it all as a vassal and reduce your mistake

What the fuck is this and where did it even come from?

i'm amazed how good this game is at launch. colonialism feels so much better

>>2216378
Is it a work of art
under Society>Culture>Works of art

Is it worth it to build and hospital at least in the capital before the plague hits?

>>2216378
Is it an advancement? Check your tech tree.

mein son... u will go far and finally allow us to rape b*hemia wen u inherit osterreich and ze Romanische Kaisertum.................................................................................... just dont PU me cause ur slightly stronger pls naples
