wew lad

stop saying villages when you're talking about rural settlements!
villages are a peasant building!

Can Napoleon spawn

stop saying rural settlements
it's rural locations

>>2221385
>peasant building
They are called Commoners not peasants

>>2221385
villages are OP and people are sleeping on them

>>2221389
>local peasants power +25%

what are the differences between playing ashikaga, one of the two courts, and damiyos?

>>2221391
Oh no my commoners estate is now sitting at 2% power...

>an alliance I had just disappeared with no pop-up or warning for the billionth time
What's up with that?

>>2221391
+25% of 0 is still 0
it's a modifier not a straight bonus

>>2221394
buy broken game get bugs

>>2221391
nta but isn't that good to reduce the power of other estates, considering commoners seem to have lower power overall?
plus when you have many locations even buildings like the bailiff don't seem to impact that much
what bothers long term is the spam of estate buildings like the urban parliament seat and the others

>>2221391
Zero times 1.25 is still zero
Marketplaces are of the devil though. Do not trust their siren song.

>>2221391
oh no...

>>2221402
wtf unplayable

>>2221391
>>2221397
local peasant power means the peasants get a higher share of the local tax base where you can get the highest tax rate
also villages employ peasants instead of laborers so you still get levies

>>2221402
Literally unplayable. Refunding right now. Fuck you, Johan.

Has anyone playing a bank snaked their way to India?

stop posting worthless images so we don't reach image limit

>STATIC THE MAP IS SO STATIC
what?

This is 1531. Portugal is gone, bohemia is all over the HRE, the papcy is all over greece and into anatolia, France has chewed on a bit of germany when not losing to me, Genoa has almost taken crimea etc

Its nothing gigantic but the AI isn't doing nothing.

My land is split between 3 markets, is there a way to unify all this shit?

>>2221287
you just look at the diplomacy screen all the time and occasionally build banks once you get high enough relations and cash

access to markets is a direct multiplier for profit and output so
its better to have more markets

Fuck my stupid chungus life, France inherited Castile

how is the Medici event triggered?

>>2221415
The real problem is that the Golden Horde doesn't reliably collapse and the Ottomans don't reliably rise. You kind of need those things to happen

>>2221414
We should be free to post whatever we want. How else will we identify different tags?

>>2221415
Ilkhanate still not disolved, ottomans can't blob, golden horde didn't implode, ruzzians didn't do shit either.

>going to kill myself in shame goodbye

after the 10th Alban-English War
also >for sure I will click this button, what

>>2221415
All the change happens in the first 50-100 years, tard.

What your looking at will not change again for the rest of the game

do building based countries get better research considering their small and selected population pools?

How do you actually combat the reformation? You can't remove the buildings despite the tips saying you can at the cost of stability.

>>2221415
the map is COMPLETELY static and NOTHING HAPPENS

>>2221391
this is basically a local peasant tax buff, which can be quite powerful given that the peasants have no estate power and thus usually sit at high max tax

i was afraid that the ottomans would be doa in this start date and i was correct

>>2221415
how does this counter what people are saying? (usually roughly the same) things happen for the first 100 years or so, then nothing

>>2221410
why would you want to tax them anyway? it's meta to 0 tax as non catholics too to get the research bonus. catholics are just forced to play that meta

I hate how you need certain warscore to demand things in a peace deal
especially when the warscore mechanic is completely fucked
occupy the enemy's capital? oh negative -20 warscore for you then

>>2221431
so... static....

>>2221431

>>2221421
Why the fuck did you niggers not coalition and dispute the succession? War of Spanish Succession, do you know it?

why some places have just 0 proximity when others go to minus proximity lowering the control?
is this even intended?

>>2221451
The fuck am I supposed to do?
Also, you don't get antagonism for personal unions, so you can't coalition someone for that.

>>2221438
>negative -20

>>2221425
>>2221423
Yeah, theres a bunch of things were certain events that almost certainly should happen but don't.
The AI probably needs to be a bit better at actively pushing to exploit weakness.

But they do expand, they seem to be limited by their access to CBs more than anything else.

>>2221428
Most of that change happened post 1430s, the first 100 years was super static for me.

>>2221435
Someone said 1337 looks identical to 1821 and it upset me because its clearly wrong.

as the ottomans should i be making subjects in anatolia or should i just annex everything

How do you guys improve your economy? I've been stuck on a tax base of 400 for 30 years now.

>>2221441
I assume that happens at a fixed date and isn't something you can accelerate the same way you can settle the New World before 1492?

>>2221453
I think it's an optimization they use where the negative one means that it's technically connected to your capital somehow but it just can't make it.
When it says none I guess a calculation was done and it's so much under the limit they don't bother recalculating until much later.

>>2221391

That's completely historical famously no one cared when spain became the HRE

How good / important are counting houses? I've got the debate which builds 5 of them with a steep discount and I'm not if that's such a good idea. They increase "local crown power", whatever that does...

>>2221460
yeah you have to wait for the council of trent to trigger
but it doesnt matter that much, lutheran preachers are quite weak and you can easily keep them in check by converting the provines where they are taking hold.

>>2221463
Habsburgs were HRE and became Spain.

>>2221466
spam them
crown power is crucial

>>2221453
I'm guessing it's an optimization based on algorithms 101 tier knowledge. You don't need to calculate the exact amount if it's sure to be <0

>>2221458
Annex annex annex, even if you get 0 controls.
The ottomans events require you to own X amount of locations.
120 to be able to press claims in the balkans, 300 to become an empire and 500 to consolidate the empire and accept greek culture and get full cores everywhere.
Also if you're still early in the game I recommend you to go east very quickly, get Aris and Karaman fully gobbled up otherwise they'll join the Eretnid/Ilkhanate and it's a really tough fight early.

>>2221464
noooo all the 10 other 0 reply paradox threads on page 10 are going to get pruned now...

>>2221431
Muslims remaining in Iberia isn't the strangest thing. The Castillians only conquered them when they gained a vision of uniting the peninsula due to the marriage and whatever. Before that, they were content with letting them remain and pay tribute. The game should give a CB that lets them conquer it all once they become dominant in the peninsula though. Maybe it can even do the whole "occupation hands location over to you" thing too for locations in Iberia. When they conquer it all, an event should give a chance for them and the North Africans a chance at peace. Something that will be accepted most games by the AI unless Morocco is pretty strong or the Ottomans are involved or whatever.

Well, England was the Protestant country where it proved to be the hardest to convert most of the population. In northeastern Germany, the Early Dutch Republic(which did not posses North Brabant) and Scandinavia Catholicism collapsed pretty quickly but no so in England and arguably just died eventually (to be revived in the 19th century) because High Anglicanism became a thing.

The problem with the Golden Horde is that they have 200 standing men as an army left.
BUT then they raise a 30k levy.

>vassals and fiefdoms have seperate -liberty desire modifiers for strength vs their liege

so you can just double the amount of subjects you can have
tributaries are also seperate but they won't join ur wars, but can still enforce culture/religion

It's the 1460s and Portugal is still strong and intact, Kiev and Muscovy are slowly eating the Golden Horde and Poland is blobbing into Volynia, Halych and Lithuania. Scotland is thriving, Denmark surviving to the best of its abilities, Sweden and Norway in PU. Shame about the Greek female ruled orthodox Ottomans and the Timur horde that never happened though. France has 300k troops, I shit you not.

This game really mindbroke gsgniggers bad, huh

Giving Byzantium another try, I fended off the numerous civil wars after Andronikos III died, and am slowly working my way out into Anatolia again.
I started with a no-CB war against the Ottomans which basically sealed their fate, and just took a big bite out of the Karasids.

The road system needs a severe re-work. They act like roads were invented in 1337 and everyone is just starting to build them then, but many parts of the map should have at least the basic road all over at game start. You're telling me that in the 1000+ years that it was under their control, the Byzantines didn't build a road from Constantinople to Adrianople, and now that I've conquered that region, I need to go into bankruptcy just to build that little road myself?

If you hover over the control icon in a location that doesn't have 100 control you can see the Local Crown Power modifier. Buildings that give Local Crown Power essential are acting for the Crown and thus increase your control in locations that are further away from the Capital.
It is a representation of how well the Crown controls that location.

I would guess he was a mercenary who got ennobled. There's an event that asks you if you want to ennoble someone so the AI doesn't even have to be programmed to use the button on the character page.

i dont think there is any purpose since they are basically slaves in this game

billions must live in cyprus

i think all this will lead to is you getting less money since they gonna pay less tax due to their higher power and peasants are the biggest tax contributors at least in the beginning

exploration prep counting as a building is bullshit yes

it should be a recruitment instead, it even requires sailors/soldiers


also on exploration in general, the base system is actually very nice but i keep running into this issue where colonies and shithole markets have no naval supplies and you can't produce it because it requires TIN to function at all, and there is no fucking TIN anywhere on the fucking map

>>2221847

Why in gods name is there no button to hide or filter techs you have already researched? Why is the menu just not 10 times as compact, it's not like there's an intricate web of relations, it's just a most basic tree layout as possible. How could they fumble this so bad?

A button to hide completed or locked trees or branches would also help.

>now i cant attack them without the emperor (austria) raping me
good one paradox

Orthodox hates Sunni but Sunni doesn't hate Orthodox
It just makes sense to convert to Orthodox if you are Sunni and have majority Orthodox population

>>2222050
Damn even before the cringe larp dlc Byzantium has cringe larp insanity. Has there ever been a country that’s been in decline for 500 years just to turn it around and become a great power again?

Is there a way to make a rally point for newly recruited regiments?

THE RATS ARE BACK
THE RATS ARE BACK

>>2222062
the closest you get is the han dynasty but that wasnt 500 years

>half way through age
>dont even have 1 ONE of its institutions

>>2222038
Thanks, I thought that was expelling people out of the country altogether so I never tried that.
>>2222040
No clue, built a lot of shit there and was slow to build up other towns b/c of poor economy/control earlier in the game.
>>2222045
I'm actually reaching the building limit there soon. Got 135 already.

peep the k/d ratio, it's from 206 "battles", probably another 100 not listed from before a separate peace

Those were all growing exponentially during the le dark ages.

GM Nonnies
Played a few games as Granada before coming to the conclusion that this country is fucked. It's got a lot of problems that basically force you to play ~100 years behind everyone in your neighborhood in terms of potential scaling.

>Granada as a city is a terrible capital. It has terrible proximity to basically everywhere due to the surrounding mountain range. You are forced to stick to the Seville market due to running a food deficit in all 3 of your provinces at beginning of game, which gives you a ~50-20% market access nerf to all your production right off the bat.
>The first war with Castille is winnable, assuming things fall into place: Castille is in a war with Portugal, Aragon, you have a CB up your ass (have been fabricating or Parliamentmaxxing since day 1) and have an alliance with Tunis/Morocco and somehow they avoid suiciding their boats + land successfully on the peninsula. This will be a recurring issue for the rest of the campaign: Tunis and Morocco cannot be counted on to assist with any peninsular wars and you cannot expect any continental allies because Le Crusaders.
>I suggest taking Seville, Cadiz, Cordoba and Jaen and just tanking the coalition if you can.
>Now you have to move your capital to Seville in order to get off the ground. Logistically there are some problems with that: Depending on the size of your vassals, Seville will take a minimum of 50 and typically 80-100 years to annex and is logistically impossible to integrate without vassals. You could spam art and poetry to overtake Castille's cultural defense of... about 400 at game start, with your cultural offense of... about 20 at game start. Good luck.
>You have now integrated Sevilla. It is 1430 and you are now ready to move your capital to a place that does not suck.
>NOT SO FAST

>>2222046
I don’t understand what happened I was winning and had probably 80% of their land under occupation then peave just popped out of nowhere like a white peace.

>>2222048
adenauer was a necessary evil with the looming threat of bolshevism to the east, and kowtowing to the westerners by going alongside their accusations against the NS regime, the consequence of which can still be felt to this day. there is nothing really to like about him. he just administered the ruins he was handed to death like a greek.
he also perfectly encapsulated the difference of the mindset of the rhenanian and the prussians. the rhenanian does not care about grand civilisational project, he just cares about stability and being able to do his thing. the prussian mind was forged with the constant threat of annihilation from the east, be it lithuanians, tatars, mongols, russians, the winter, or even the arabs that the order knights faced in the holy land. the rhenanian is egalitarian, decadent and lethargic, the prussian is elitist, innovative and resilient.

>levies have low speed, thus low reinforcement rate
>which means you should start attacking with them and have second regular army to reinforce the losses
but like this you lose a lot of levys, so you're trading efficiency for your pops?

also, army composition, what ratios are you going for?

>>2222080
yes

and army comp isnt a thing really

How is this read? That you want 25 in humanist or you want 25 in spiritualist? I assume it's 25 humanist.

>>2222083
-25 means 25 to the direction of whatever is on the left side of the bar, i.e., the negative side

ah of course

>>2222079
so he was alright, he just wasnt prussian (and got handed being occupied by america)?
are saxons (merkel) different to prussians?

>>2222083
the minus is the left side, so its 25 spiritualist

Playing as Austria and my army is raping. Bohemias and I have no idea why. I was seiging down a castle with 7k men and they attacked with 15k and got smashed by me despite heavily out numbering me and being the defenders lol

>>2222075
>In order to move your capital to a location, it needs to be a full core. In order for it to be a full core, you need to either accept the culture or have it be a majority primary/accepted culture.
>To culture convert somewhere, this will take approximately 40 years.
>At this point, you may consider accepting Castillian (hostile, hates you) which will put you massively over your cultures cap, just to get the full core. Move capital, then lower Castillian back down to discriminated and begin converting.
>Erm. Actually? You foolish fool, you absolute buffoon. This will give you a 50 year pop satisfaction malus.

>The year is now 1480. You have moved your capital to Seville. You are now 150 years behind every nation in your neighborhood in terms of scaling. You also cannot muster any actual manpower despite a 10% manpower buff in your unique content because you can only raise armories in accepted culture majority cities - also, all of your neighbors can afford just to merc up at whim.

>If at any point in this process post-plague you get DoWed on, you're just dead.

The nation is basically unplayable.

Why can't I push centralization? I'm trying to become a monarchy as one of the Irish tribes and it says I've hit the limit (at 70 decentralized) but doesn't explain anywhere why that is.

>>2222095
Good? Granada isnt supposed to be "playable"

bribing estates really have no cooldown or diminishing returns huh

INTERESTING

>>2222095
I think a lot of people are going to angered by this with eu5, that now that it’s a more similationist game, there will be some countries that are literally unplayable.

if you wanted to add custom trade without changing current custom trades, do you have to lower slider or disable automation? It's obtuse adding new custom trades

I CAN'T WORLD CONQUEST AS ULM AAAAAAA WIZ SAVE ME

>>2222101
are they going to spend that money in buildings?

I want notifications if one of my trades is unprofitable.

>>2222102
No they won't because the game is clearly unfinished and will receive a 39.99 american dollars dlc patch that will make every shithole playable

This has never been refuted. Cry about it fags

>no button to tick off imports/exports being visible in the goods tab
>adding trades in the trades tab doesn't remove them from the recommended trades below
the UI needs some work

So if I want to play Timur are the first like 50 years useless? What are you even supposed to do while waiting for him, there is no point in developing your lands because he doesn’t even spawn in them

yuan seems undercooked
has special events and stuff but the rebellion never happens even when the disaster is a thing

>>2222118
Truthnuke. This game is bleeding users

>>2222116
this is the most finished paradox game 1.0 version ever including the ones that didn't get DLC

>>2222118
It's so embarassing it doesn't really need to be refuted desu

>>2222123
this whole game is undercooked. its a pile of shit

>>2222091
strictily speaking prussians are descendants of saxon and bavarian settlers, depending on the region of prussia
whereas saxons are not saxons at all, but rather thuringians
these upper saxons are practically the same as prussians, with the main difference being that prussia was much more navally inclined, and under the rule of the order much more internationally connected, be it diplomatically or scientically through new advancements imported during the crusades from the near east.
Saxony and Brandenburg were created through the same push to the east, but they were much more connected to the rest of Germany, politically as part of the German-Roman Kingdom and geographically. Whereas the influence of the Order State could be felt throughout all of Northern Europe, nothing similar can be said about Brandenburg before the reformation. The order state was a great power in its own right, and one of the most modern, central and urbanised states that existed in its time, a fact that goes undernoticed in paradox games in general. Saxony and Brandenburg have the same martial culture lacking the strong support of the clergy and connections overseas.

>>2222075
Granada has a dlc on the roadmap, so it most certainly got shafted during development.

>>2222123
weird its happened every game I have played as chinese underlings

Do you need trade adv and/or trade cap in a target export market in order to export more to it? I have loads of cows in spain and want to export to middle east for their high demand, but it's not letting me up trade cap in my spain market to middle east.

i fucking love (same culture) migration

>>2222126
Incredible joke.

>>2222074
>Has there ever been a country that’s been in decline for 500 years just to turn it around and become a great power again?
Castile, Lithuania, Poland, Egypt.
But no, just keep whining about a fictional situation. I'm sure that will bode well for you.

>>2222069
Lucky. I made it all the way to the age of discovery without getting a single renaissance institution as Japan. I’m just about ready to get professional armies at 1444

>>2221988
>You need to understand how your estates work, fix your economy day 1 and learn how to expand crown power from the very start.

Fix border gore by making rebellion way more likely in regions of different culture or religion, attempting to convert culture or religion should piss them off even more.
If you make a tiny vassal to convert culture/religion their government should get overthrown by rebels and they independence war you.

The playerbase will drop to 30k by tuesday.
10k by friday.

>>2222130
from mousing over i think they did sorta try to acknowledge it but they're swedish and should be either murdered or ruled by danes

>>2222147
TWO MORE WEEKS

>>2222126
you've got to be joking

>>2222118
>Too many locations
This is still the most retarded shit any fag's ever said. Granularity adds immense enjoyment to the game. These fags just like the more arcadey gameplay of EU4. The news is, it will always be there for them. They can and should go back.

I dont really want to be a negative nancy, but now that I'm done mostly figuring out the mechanics the gameplay is rather meh. The first century feels like a worse ck3

>>2222088
kek

>>2222155
the first century is the only time the game is fun since shit happens then, and then it freezes for the next 600 years

>>2222062
>Has there ever been a country that’s been in decline for 500 years just to turn it around and become a great power again?
China, Spain, England, Russia.
>>2222064
The closest thing I found is the build to army button on an existing unit.

>the /gsg/ troon is angling for the get
Embarassing desu

>>2222143
yeah it's a mouthful but I promise it's way simpler than that.
>Delete all your forts, delete your 200 regulars, delete the seargentry building in constantinople
>balance the sliders so you are in profit but gaining as much stability as possible and ticking up legitimacy slightly
>keep your estates happy but if you see anything that gives you Crown Power do it no matter what
Just stabilize until the disasters go away.

>>2222109
well yeah
but if you bribe them happy they will build useful stuff

>>2222148
sweden is practically the scandinavian version of what you see in east germany anyway
I think they don't like to acknowledge the Order State because it defies their anticlericalist narratives. In fact that is much of the reason why the state often gets swept under the rug nowadays in favour of its Hohenzollern-led successor state or the Atlantic states crucial in the age of discovery.

>>2222149
And a tea break.

>>2222129
calm down buddy

>>2222099
>>2222102
I think it's a major flaw of the game TBQH. One of the fun parts of PDXslop games are playing nations that are underdogs and turning them into decent powers. I'm not saying that, like, Brittany should be able to 1v1 France and somehow turn out to be Better France - but it seems like out-scaling in this game is either literally a 500 year project, or logistically impossible.

In Vicky II for example - if you're willing to have a hell campaign, you can turn Ottomans into a late-game powerhouse by literacymaxxing despite their On-The-Brink-Of-Collapse position at the beginning of the game - and as I think Vicky is the closest PDX has released to this game - you're never going to be GP1 as Mexico, for example, but with good play you can certainly become the dominant Major Power in your area. I feel like in EU5 unless you play one of the Major Powers or someone de-facto scripted to become a Major Power (Ottotan, Muscovy, Vijaynagar) the game itself is designed to prevent you from even being a regional power.

>>2222126
What a joke.

>>2221391
>>local peasants power +25%
literally the best option to give power to; giving nobles power is a much bigger headache and their estate privileges are a pain to revoke and they spend their money on stupid shit. same with priesthood but at least they can help literacy.

unless you're doing some specific strategy your ideal outcome is always gonna be full-on North Korean authoritarianism with as much Crown Power and central authority as possible since that goes straight to (You) the player to manage and not the AI. Having powerful peasants under your authoritarian god-emperor rule is preferable to nobles trying to undermine you since they're easier to keep happy and suppress.

>>2222133
maybe spam trade offices in your target market, so you have trade capacity in their market and use that to import your cows? i'm not sure though.

>>2222095
>In order for it to be a full core, you need to either accept the culture or have it be a majority primary/accepted culture.
Can't you get it as a full core just by annexing the vassal you had there who had it as a full core?

No matter what flaws there are. This game released better than any other Paradox game. That is all that matters, it is instantly the best and top. It is the King of Grand Strategy.

how do I speed up observer mode
I have a 9800x3D and this shit is so slow at max speed

Is this working as intended? Because I'm pretty sure 7 is more than 3 but they're all happily working their asses off creating mountains of useless rubbish.

>>2222144
No, that's dumb. They should fix bordergore by making provinces at 0 control rebellion galore.

>>2222138
Why are you so mad about it lol. Are u johan or something

>>2222172
you can definitely do some wild underdog shit because of the dumb AI thoughbeit, and what fun would a 500 year game be if you could outscale everyone in 100 years?

>>2222175
>no bro you absolutely need that 25% more income from 10% more crown power it's worth fucking your equilibrium which means you can tax them less and you lose all these bonuses that set your values up

>>2222132
i put the game on speed 5, picked every decision to make the red turban rebellion worse
constant bankrupcy and negative stability too, but the disaster has been on going for 10 years without any rebellions
i'll try to let it run longer and see if anything happens

>>2222121
You can tag switch to Timurids when he becomes an adult if you play as the country he spawns in. You can just do your usual blobbing and economymaxxing while waiting for him to become an adult.

>>2222166
it seems like a win/win situation

>>2222195
tax the shit out of everyone to make them unhappy
take their rights away

>>2222098
The limit is usually because of the modifiers you have. The closest you get to one end of the slider, the harder it is to move. So you need more centralization modifiers.

>>2222195
>>2222201
the game is designed so badly and so cushiony that you can actively try to fuck up your country and nothing bad will ever happen lol.

feels like separatism caused a lot of actual implosions to happen in eu4, where they ended up with break away nations that kinda make sense, but all i ever see in eu5 are estate rebellions, like clergy rebelling in golden horde, taking over the whole country and then it's just the golden horde again.

>>2221996
well technically not all of it
btw 2 xyivs

>>2222188
Just add that ck2/3 rule where enclaves go independent on the death of a ruler (unless HRE)

>>2222116
Umm, chuddie, paradox has adopted a subscription model for their dlc. EUV is a live service game, okay?

>>2222209
this is true

>>2222209
>feels like separatism caused a lot of actual implosions to happen in eu4
Anon what the fuck are you talking about

astrology works btw

EU5 is the best

>>2221957
Automating research is in no way the sensible choice.

>>2222197
It’s random where he spawns as an adult, he’s a child in barlas. So what I’m saying is that blobbing and economy maxing is a totally waste because it’s for lands that won’t ever be yours again. Even if you conquer them as timur they won’t matter because you’re going to focus on china/iran as your power base anyway.

>>2222222
Yes lol

>>2222211
Your vassal network is cursed as fuck. Is this really how the game is meant to be played? Also you’re looking like the eu4 Muscovy now, nice.

>>2222195
Rebellions happen via event
Either you're just given that much leeway or you got fucking btfo by MTTH

>>2222209
Noble rebels, religious rebels and particularists always spawned like crazy in EU4 the only difference is they are treated as a civil war in this game.

>>2222179
Nope! After you annex the vassal (which takes at least 50 years due to not having enough magic culture points) it just becomes an integrated province for you.

Erm, actually? This game is a simulation.
Don't you know that the Safavids didn't extract any value out of conquering the entirety of Persia in 20 years?
You see, Azeri and Farsi were hostile cultures, and Sunni and Shia were hostile faiths, so they spent 800 years developing their land just to be able to fight the Ottomans next door who had been scaling since day 1.

>>2222190
Sure, and that's well and good - I'm not asking for Game's Over By 1550 like in EU4. I personally don't want to play a weeklong campaign and be barely struggling to survive until 1800 due to factors I can't reasonably influence.

>>2222222

It’s simply not possible to make yourself or anyone else not loyal to fr*nce.

>>2222236
I have a -10% Max Peasant Tax at the moment, thats 62%, the other 10% I'm missing is German Settlers which I saw someone say was strong so I'm trying it out. It's been mediocre for me but I didn't realize it gave me diplomatic options to steal people's dudes so it's probably good if you do that.

>>2222209
Separatism (called nationalism ingame) is definitely a thing. My asian colonies rebel all the time because of low control.

>30 vs 30 cunt war in the HRE
