The fuck

Seriously though does anyone know how I expel certain pops? I want to expel pic related but expelling pops just moves all pops from a location and I only want 1 pop group expelled from my country.

EU5 is a fundamentally broken game due to the nothing-ever-happens AI

>>2226395
they dont allow you to do that because they specifically said they wont ever impliment any features that can be viewed as ethnic cleansing

basically they removed a major and necessary mechanic to be politically correct.

>>2226422
>it's fundamentally broken because of something the devs can tweak in a few days
no

Where to go from here?

The senior member of the union is whoever has the highest GP score, so you can compare up front.
Also you will get an INSANE amount of badboy for claiming the throne of a huge country.

we heard about this ages ago. get with the time gramps

also, total nothingburger

what's good small nation to comfily build tall for a new player?

This is a game where it is fun to just go with the flow and even let some maluses hit you for quick gains. The realism means your nation isn't going to become completely ineffective because you aren't all the way up the modifier stacking ladder.

its one of the best and most complete Paradox games on launch in forever, but thats not saying much since its Paradox after all. Just wait a year or 2 like with other Paradox game

>>2226469
My first Naples run is going well. Just build buildings in your capital, RGOs outside the capital, automate trade but still pay attention to it so you can get an idea of what it's doing. When you take all of Sicily you get an event to form two sicilies which gives you cores on all of Sicily. If Sicily has powerful allies, try to use diplomacy to break their alliances.

>>2226481
It is the best Paradox game ever (and thus the best Grand Strategy). This alone means it is worth playing.

>>2226487
most complete paradox games full stop
which makes sense because they basically stole everything from M&T
But even then basically all the systems are just dumbed down for casual shitters

You literally expel the Jews in the black death if you blame minorities and get the event.

Is attacking a country that has an estate civil war a good idea? Is the peace deal normal or broken?

There are 2 or 3 spergs who raid these threads every day to say it's bad. Ignore them.

>>2226498
The game has all the population mechanics to have a way you could expel pops from your country, yet you can't

>>2226356 (OP)
i have no idea what i'm doing in this game

how do I convert to Orthodoxy as a Catholic

>>2226509
why would you convert to the incorrect religion?

Bear witness to His Majesty William IV, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and of France and the Iberian Crowns of Portugal and Castile; Grand Duke of Savoy; Duke of Normandy, Flanders, Aquitaine and Hainaut; Lord of Iceland and manifold other locales; Defender of the Faith and Most Righteous Sovereign.

Honestly I'm kinda on the verge of giving up this run because I got these unions entirely by accident and they've made the game trivial. I won the Hundred Year's War on purpose, and I got Savoy on purpose also. But Castile was in a union with Portugal and they fell into my lap entirely unintentionally, and now that I have both there's just not a force in the world that could ever beat me.

>>2226504
It's easily the most simple and straightforward mechanic. Diplomats are a resource you pay for now in the balance sheet. The more you pay, the more diplomats.

The king would move on to France, England would gradually become more autonomous, then the king in France would get raped by his 6 gorillion French vassals.

Gypsy migrations should be a situation in Europe. You can attract them to have more pops settling in your country and more tax income and productivity in return for unrest.

I feel like I've won the game already.

So heres whats happening
Your "TRADER" is trying to sell books
at a shit price
so he demands paper
so he imports a lot of paper to meet the demand
to sell books
>at a shit price
so you look at the UI, see a big green plus near paper and build it
and you meet the demand
but the demand was only to shut out the --------- for obtaining paper
for books
you sell
at a shit price
meaning the demand couldve been solved by shutting down unprofitable buildings
which I dont know how the UI accounts for directly

I'm currently in the process of purging their culture entirely in the hopes it'll stop spawning characters. They're like 15% of all my pops but for some reason 80% of my court. Most curious.

Why?

>>2226570
I'm Greek, I know what gypsies are like, but I'm talking about historical events here.
Gypsy migrations should be a situation, they'd settle as tribesmen that give no taxes and raise unrest, your options would be to either try and forcibly settle and integrate them as subjects, or expel them to your neighbours.
>>2226578
In the Ottoman Empire and Wallachia, not so much in the rest of Europe.

>>2226552
Wake me up when they add legs and the glowing forum makes a modification for it. Mostly would be useful for immersion with tribals anyway.

Didn't they come to the Ottoman lands as slaves and then migrate out from there?
I know they're originally from India.

If your capital isn't a harbor you're FUCKED

>>2226579
No, they'd have a nudity toggle in the options if that was the case. They don't. It is a shame too as I'd've loved to see thematic fig leaves like how Vic3 has golden ones.

Assimilation isn't ethnic cleansing?
Btw Welsh people don't exist in my game.

>>2226575
Oh shit that's an idea actually. I was about to give up but maybe I'll tag to Bohemia instead, they're huge and they won the Hussite Wars. Might be fun to see how that plays out now that the Reformation has started, and maybe see if I can overcome the monster I've constructed.

Which estate privileges are worth it in the early game?

>>2226427
Forced assimilation is sometimes classed as genocide, including by all of the people who would be mad if the game allowed you to expel minorities from your borders.

>>2226596
Probably so they can know where to place things. Men have nipples too. Neither boys nor girls have them though. You can easily see this on the portrait editor in debug mode.

Is there a reason I should build galleys after unlocking light and heavy ships?

>>2226589
>Didn't they come to the Ottoman lands as slaves and then migrate out from there?
Literally nobody fucking knows, they came to Europe somewhere between the 7th and 14th centuries.

>>2226589
>Didn't they come to the Ottoman lands as slaves and then migrate out from there?
No, they arrived in the Byzantine empire centuries before that, in the 8th century, and adopted the Rom/Roma name from them. They started migrating to the rest of Europe in the 13th century, but the biggest waves to Central Europe were in the 15-16th so within the timeframe of the game.

Secret Easter egg if
>Playing Poland
>Has a guy of the Brezchincickievicz last name
he can get the name Zdzislav

>>2226433
this is fucking disgusting

>>2226601
I've found that Clergy privileges which give them increased happiness are almost always worth it, because the happier your clergy is the faster you research. If you're not playing Catholic it's also probably worth it to tax them minimally so they will remain very happy and you'll get quicker tech.

The right of arms/local militias one for the peasants is also super good. Increased levy size and, critically, increased peasant combat ability for levies. It can let you punch against your weight early when you need it most. Just remember to revoke it when you get standing armies to keep your market's weapons demands at a rational level.

Never give anything to the nobility, at least not until you've totally broken them. They're monstrous to deal with if they have any more power than they start with.

Finally, like 2/3 of the burgher privileges are insanely good. Anything that gives centralization is a priority, but they've got a bunch of great stuff. By endgame I think your two most powerful estates should be Crown followed by Burghers.

>>2226607
if you take fights in those coastal zones galleys get a bonus and they are cheap

>>2226610
>and adopted the Rom/Roma name from them
huh, always wondered about that
Figured it had to be a false friend.

>>2226548
yea same thing for when buildings show as really profitable but it really just has a demand of 0.2, with 0 supply

Reminder that if you have a rich country like Hungary in your PU you should consider selling them land for easy money.

>>2226578
gypsies were displaced by waves of musliman incursions in northern hindustan. i can imagine they were kicked out from place to place until the byzantines allowed them to settle. a decision that keeps on giving for the balkans centuries later. i think there needs to be a mod replacing the black plague with the gypsy plague. it doesnt decrease your pops, but your prosperity and development.

>>2226587
WOW

Is there no easy way to ship pops to a location? I've spent 10 years waiting for a distant territory to grow to 5000 pop so I can turn it into a town. Encourage migration cabinet action nets a +0

>>2226609
>Literally nobody fucking knows
It's pretty well known
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doma_(caste)
They were a caste of untouchable musicians and artisans from India that migrated to Anatolia, their name shifted from Dom to Rom, they were conflated with another unrelated religious sect from centuries ago which also practiced untouchability (αθίγγανοι/athinganoi means untouchable which is were all the permutations of cigani/cigani originated from) and that's that.

>>2226515
Wait really, there are no gypsies in the game? Like, they're not supposed to be in Europe in 1337, but are they not at all in the game?

>>2226657
they arent unplayable - you just cant expect to compete with european powers. and thats as it should be. this game should be somewhat realistic - niggers in africa shouldnt have muskets 5 years after they are first invented

>declare on Golden Horde for Crimea
>their total standing army is a grand horde of 400 people
Aren't they an army based society? How come they're not imploding?

>>2226564
Genuinely how do you do this? It takes so fucking long to convert culture in this game.

>>2226660
>Like, they're not supposed to be in Europe in 1337
They are. By the 15th century they should be in every European country except Russia and friends.

i can't believe it bros. my country has a positive balance. i finally did it. giving land to vassals really works. my last game i was still at a negative balance in 1450 and was surviving off of fundings. really happy rn :3

>>2226673
but i am a woman lol.

>>2226663
its pretty hard to actually stackwipe an army in this game for some reason (early game with levies at least) you have to chase them and fight them multiple times to kill their entire army. that was my experience as 20k levy castille vs 4k levy granada who proceeded to take like 200 casualties per fight and try to backcap my land

Huh, interesting. Was it like that in EUIV? I've barely played that game.

Do you actually get PU'd by Hungary as Poland when Casimir dies?
I think this game might not go as smoothly as I though...

lol

They should make all Mongolia successor states have a fuckton of acceptance of cultures and not culture concert at all
It's barely 1400 and Afghans are gone, Tajiks are gone, Armenians are half gone, somehow hundreds of thousands of Mongolians materialised to settle there

>>2226712
Lol, no.

>>2226712
no?

>>2226715
Culture conversion is just too fast.

>>2226634
But there really is something wrong with noblemaxxing, they're super strong politically so privileges which give them more power makes them much stronger than similar privileges do for burghers or clergy. Giving the nobles anything, unless their power is already totally broken, is a recipe for a weak state.

>>2226674
>France is an unstoppable juggernaut
welcome back early EU4

the ost is 1 hour 40 minutes which is pretty ok. Eu4 has over 12 hours NOT including the metal ones. But that's accumulated over 10 years

>>2226712
>and a match lasting no more than 1h.
it would take 2 hours just to start a game with that many people and you would have to run it at speed 2 or else people will desync

>We should aim to lay roads from Napule to every nearby towb and valuable R.G.O.
How do I know which RGOs are the most valuable?

So roads from the capital city to towns > build towns in province capitals > centralize province population to said towns > build bailiffs in said towns > rgos in the countryside and main buildings in the towns.
All of that prioritizing building in the capital first then the closest provincial capitals in order
Is that it?

A foreign womb is just another frontier to explore.

Black death is so pointless. It strikes right at the beginning before you've built up so it just delays your start and is simply a nuisance instead of some cataclysmic event you have to overcome

i read through the negative reviews and it's mostly because they're too used to EU4, they don't want vic3+ck3, they think the UI sucks and they think the AI sucks

Then you can take the leadership back just by getting some stability and climbing in GP status. You can take it if you have 20% more score than the other partner, I think.

lol, no

>>2226810
except you cant build in their territory and the AI is retarded

>>2226813
I'm not sure. I think a vassal might release another if you give them enough land though. That is, if it is not blocked for them (I don't know if it is but vassals can do a surprising amount in this game).

>>2226819
Courland had colonies, that's close enough.

HEY can someone tell me if the character portraits are updated with the times as go on? like, do the british wear powdered wigs in the 1700s?

The most unholy of holy orders. Took on a mini-crusade against pagans on the behest of Poland, then proceeded to scam it out of land with forged documents and "fuck Piotr gon do". Spent the next few centuries fighting and genociding Christians.
They're still a thing for some reason, by the way.

Only 14th-16th century outfits atm, though Johan said powdered wigs are coming "Soon™ 2 More Weeks"

>>2226826
They don't, but the stuff is very very detailed for nearly all cultures. I assume they may update them even for free in the future. The paid outfits for dlc also making certain cultures more immersive like geerce.

>>2226806
there was one guy that has loads of hours in imperator and vic3, and he started off his review by saying eu5 has successfully combined all of the weaknesses of both of those games. "It's like a Chauchat machinegun, there are so many flaws I can't even list them all"
he then goes on complaining about peasant levies being a thing, complaining about how wars are just determined by how many peasants you have, not understanding why mercenaries are so low in numbers in early ages, not understanding why coring takes so long compared to eu4 and that he should create subjects, not understanding why states had low control over provinces in that time period, not understanding why inca has such a shortage of food that they could go bankrupt during winter, not understanding why each location only has one resource.....

>>2226835
all valid complaints

>>2226835

they dont though? yeah they only have one rgo, but buildings make goods too

i can't. I get the "heir unmarried" popup, click on it and it says there's no suitable people to marry. Or do I just marry lowborns and take the prestige hit?

They keep voting to make me emperor though. I only lost it to Brandenburg cause my heir was a child.

>>2226838
here's the part in full
"There's barely any tin RGO in the Americas, which makes shipbuilding impossible. Colonization needs tools and medicaments, but countries in poorer markets cannot acquire herbs at all, so they can't colonize as fast. In vic3, there are fall back production methods that use cheap and easily available goods such as wood, but in EU5 there are no fall back PMs, and in EU5 every location only has one resource. This traps small nations in key-goods shortages and makes them unplayable"
they guy basically just can't get over the fact that the world is unfair

If I had to redo things, i'd expel people from far away province where I've got low control into the areas around my capital. Only applies to shithole starts where you got to blob I guess

>>2226857
There's almost no point in marrying your own nobles, either marry lowborns to propagate your dynasty or marry someone from a foreign country if you can so you can potentially claim their throne later.

You can just occupy your enemies and have them starve to death

Is artillery useless in combat until end-game? I have Chambered Cannons and they deal less damage during combat phase than my Arquebusiers. Even though it stacks good modifiers, the calculation ends up with the cannons killing 2 guys, while the arquebusiers kill 6.

So trying to understand the economy stuff and how to make the most of it beyond just clicking the most profitable trade after fiddling around for a bit
>in a vacuum building more supply doesn't do much since prices will just adjust accordingly, demand is king
>production of a good will let you squeeze more money out than the individual demands of both input and output goods, but most of that will go to the tax base of the raw RGOs once prices adjust
>government buildings with upkeep are actually a net positive for the economy because of the extra demand produced, as long as you have the controll and tax rates to benefit from it
>trade has the threefold effect of increasing demand in the exporting location (and so raising the tax base of the producers), decreasing demand in the target location (good if you have lots of consumers for production, bad if you have lots of producers) and generating some extra money on the side

This seems extremely counter intuitive to the tooltips, which show them dealing 5x the damage of arquebusiers. Not even mentioning the 5-hour bombardment phase that ultimately doesn't matter at all.

What's the best flavor of christianity so far?

To the anons who were interested in colonial warfare:
Fighting Indonesian peasant levies (no pike and shot researched, a couple cavalry regulars)
My army comp was
6 INF 2 ART 2 CAV | 7 INF 3 ART | 6 INF 2 ART 2 CAV
The battle AI kept putting my artillery in the frontline and most of them died. I very nearly lost the battle but I managed to collapse their flanks right at the end and rout them.
This is one of the weakest countries around, literally everything else in Indonesia is owned by Majaphait who has every institution, more regulars than me, and 70k levies.

>>2226899
All sounds right to me. Currently I'm trying to understand more finely when to transition from rural settlements. It's not just cash, there's a lot of good literacy buildings that rural settlements can't access. And while you do take a population growth hit, making decent population centers cities will encourage migration from the areas around to those cities, which is actually much faster growth overall. Of course if you go too far you might de-populate the countryside and not have enough workers.

>peasants finally got to above 50% happiness again
>rebellion progress is still ticking up
it's actually fucking over I will explode

>>2226922
Your good RGOs should stay rural for the RGO limit bonuses

>>2226884
Quite realistic

EU5 HAS OFFICIALY BEEN SAVED!

Most people missed it but there is a simple trick to make the game more fun and more realistic. By simply puting the ai difficulty to hard you can play the game like Johan wanted it to be but didnt know himself that its possible

Hard ai is literealy an improvement on all front by making ai nations
>more stable
>have more income
>build more buildings/rgo
>field a bigger army
>be more aggresive due to bigger army and economy
>be less prone to bankruptcy spirals
>unironicaly play more historicaly since bigger nations do even better with the buffs
>give the player more of a challange so that you dont get bored after 1500

I guess I don't fully understand how the population growth from surplus food works. I had provinces which had massive surpluses of food which didn't seem to get that much population growth bonus. Do you need granaries in the province to be able to store the food to get the benefit? Is there some critical level of food surplus which is best for pop growth? Is it market-based or province-based?

My most recent game was an England which controlled all of England, Wales, the two southern Scottish provinces and Flanders/Picardy and I have less population than you do 100 years further in. I know France has more population to start with but the difference still seems really stark. Teach me basically.

>>2226940
Muscovy or Bohemia

>>2226862
>In vic3, there are fall back production methods that use cheap and easily available goods such as wood, but in EU5 there are no fall back PMs
Um wrong actually, you can make stone tools(which are complete and utter dogshit)
I do think natives should be revisited to allow you to independently research the most basic of shit like FUCKING IRONWORKING if you're an epic glorious empire though.
What he said about tin feels very fair(there is exactly 1 tin RGO in greater Mexico and you need to colonize really deep inland just to get it) but I feel like that was intentionally done to cockblock the AI from doing shit like colonizing cuba.

>black death wipes out 2 mil of my 5 mil population

The food bonus is based on stockpiled food

>>2226941
>>2226943
I'm a historylet when it comes to slavic untermensch, was St Petersburg a later thing? It seems like a terrible capital unless you blob the baltics. Does Muscovy have its capital in the titular area and does it get forced to move?

anyone else's autism bothered when you send an army to a province next door and it goes in some roundabout way into other provinces because of some invisible terrain modifier or whatever

>>2226923
It's not that bad, the amount of actual peasants that will rise goes down with their satisfaction (same for all estates). I had a rebellion that was so bad at one point it would've taken everything but my capital state, but by the time it popped I'd gotten the estate satisfaction so high it only released as a single location.

>>2226946
they yearn for the mines

>>2226949
It's because of the change to mountains where you can't enter them in winter.

Parliament (estates general) should be a permanent thing, not a meeting that only happens once every few years. Keep laws on a multi-year cooldown sure, but estate agendas and the stuff you buy with support like CBs should always be available.

>>2226947
Also food price

>>2226927
you can hover over the difficulty the only thing it does is make player army more expensive

>>2226930
Just the extra 10% estate happines is enought to make the ai play way better since they dont get civil wars every 5 years

>>2226932
Havent tested it but the extra discipline becomes kinda too hard to play against

>>2226933
They make more buildings which increases their pop growth so they kinda do get a bigger army aswell

>>2226938
Yes it makes vasalmaxxing the meta but you can also just ignore it and not go all in for more of a challenge

>>2226942
don't forget I've also done conquest so that could also help

That's way into the 1700s and it's because Tsar Peter was a westaboo and also wanted in on that Baltic trade

>>2226927
This is nice and all but I don't like buffs. I wish it could just be made to be better at resource management. I guess this does help you feel like the protagonist though.

>>2226960
I mean absolutely but I still think 7.5 is insane. Did you target any specific provincial food stockpile/production levels?

>>2226947
I thought it was also based on raw production, alright. So are granaries just flat-out completely OP and you should always max them in every city/town so you can maximize population growth? And does the stockpile matter per market or per province? Is the meta just to make a town in every province to make sure you can get provincial granaries?

>it's 1430
>I'm already nearly at max buildings in my 70 development capital
Fuck

>>2226954
maybe since i play with flat map its less obvious, but im in the lowlands so not sure what it is if not mountains.

also what's the deal with my armies chasing the enemy after winning a battle and not fighting them in the next province after they retreat there? last game I played was EU3 and you could just chase them until they were eliminated

does the "annexed another subject" modifier really cap at -100? with max diplo and improved relations I can chain anmex with other vassals >200?

does anyone know what the annexation time scales with: tax base, number provinces, relative power? e g. how does integration time compare for two one province vassala vs one two province vassal? sub or superlinear scaling? regardless it seems like vassalize, force culture convert, integrate in 10 years is the move in all cases

That bonus is the same size as having food at minimum price, so it isn't gigantic but obviously over time it would add up.

>>2226990
It was officially infamy in EU3 but players still called it badboy. iirc it was a hidden mechanic until Divine Wind and so had no official name for most of the game's lifespan.

>>2226993

It keeps giving migration events with “province is starving”, but I look at each county and they all have a food surplus.

>>2227026
There should be a bonus/incentive towards not calling the Estate General, like a ticking bonus to control. France didn't call one from 1614 to 1789.

I had a blast playing up to 1500 but I'll give it a break until there's historically accurate clothing for the 17th century+ Europeans, Eastern/Southern European city models, properly working international organizations and when dynamics of power between minor HRE countries get fixed so they don't get annexed/vassalized so easily like they are now.

Has anyone calculated how much a counting house matters/doesn't matter in any measurable way?

You didn't build granaries? I'm sorry to keep asking I just really want to understand how to do pop growth like this.

disappointing. I wanted to fulfill my marco polo fantasies of being the first european explorer in asia and build a giant tea monopoly

how high should the food surplus be? I am at +1k balance in all my markets, do I need to shoot for higher?

>>2227065
Should be pretty easy before you mass build them. It's a 33% multiplier to the base crown power of whatever all the pops in your towns and cities are giving you. Depends on the make-up of your country but town/cities are probably anywhere from 25-50% of your population so that portion gets the multiplier. It's worth building, but they're expensive so you don't have to tech to them fast.

>>2227061
irrigation is useless for pop growth unless your food price isnt bottomed out

>>2227067
I'm not sure I knew granaries existed ; is it for max food storage?

>>2227067
Granaries give a .1% bonus to pop growth I believe, as long as they're full at least.

is there any point in moving the capital of castile to toledo over seville

>>2227092
Think carefully about your capital since rivers and control spread over maritime matters a fucking LOT to you as Castile

It is insane how much disabling colonization improves Asian AI. No longer are they all focused on exploring, colonizing, and wasting money. Colonization has the pretty realistic effect of making borders more static. This of course causes issues in Asia most especially since historical things don't happen.

Are there any negatives to switching from tribal to monarchy while still having tribal vassals?

>>2227088
>>2227086
granaries don't increase pop growth directly, they increase your province's food stockpile and having a food stockpile larger than your food consumption increases your pop growth by up to 0.2% at 120 months worth of food, which is a pretty huge deal since pop growth is usually at around 0.2-0.4%

Oh, the reason I wasn't called in was because they JUST voted for automatic defense and the previous policy was no defense.
The probably wish they'd have voted sooner now.

>>2227112
IRL yes, but I'm absolutely rushing to become a proddie so I can tax the church and get +10% max literacy

>>2227104
Okay, got it. So that was my real big mistake, I only had like maybe a single granary per town or city and that does basically nothing. So max granaries per urban location is a really big deal for pop growth.

I assume this works on a province level? Or is it location-based, with only the city benefiting?

150 years into the game and I just realized you can build rural markets and shits in minor settlements

why aren't the tajo or the thames proper rivers in the game, it would make london and toledo much better locations

>>2227081
Wikipedia says Dejima was 199 years later.
Japan can choose to isolate or not after the Sengoku period, right? So they should get an event to build it if they chose to isolate.

To learn the game I'll simply watch clio and do everything she does

I can't be the only person who gets overwhelmed by all the provinces. it's unnecessary, why can't it just be like eu4 where provinces represent a general areas, not a thousand little cities

>>2227121
how do you even see what is and isnt a river?

>>2227118
>So max granaries per urban location is a really big deal for pop growth.
yeah it is
>I assume this works on a province level?
yeah it does
>Or is it location-based, with only the city benefiting?
every single location in a province uses the same food stockpile
so ideally you would want to have a bunch of rural provinces who gain a flat 0.1% from being rural, and build a bunch of granaries and villages to get the bonus as high as possible (although you may want to divert your resources to build a proper economy first)

>>2227114
Kyiv is already spelled correctly. It should change to Kiev if and only if it is held by a Russian state.

how do you trigger the iberian wedding in this game

>>2227118
>>2227126
Yeah, Granaries are a tax expense building. Don't build those until your economy is ready.

>>2227128
There is no iberian wedding
You can get a PU/claim throne CB on Portugal pretty easily though, if you immediately wed one of your people to them

>>2227129
Of course, I wouldn't do it until I had hit economic stability. But after getting an income of maybe 100/mo that seems like it would be the perfect point to just spam granaries and watch number go up. Hell, irrigation too probably to increase the max population cap so the bonus from free land increases earlier too.

>>2227131
>There is no iberian wedding

Actually the Yuan Dynasty lasts too long and can get bugged so that the scripted implosion never fires.

It just feels like shit to select the Yuan Dynasty and speed 5 AFK to try and collapse the country to play as one of the rebel tags. They should have made it a little ahistorical like EU4 Japan where you could start as clans that technically didn't become influential until later.

Also much of the Chinese resources, climate, culture, and language choices are just completely wrong. For example, the almost complete lack of silk, iron, and coal in all of China.

You wh*Tes say that Paradox is bending over for Chinese players but actually China and East Asia in EU5 are really half baked and inaccurate.

also related, but how does embargoing work if I'm not a market leader? Does any market member have the power to embargo a country from an entire market, or just from their trades? and out of curiosity, what happens if a market center location has greater market attraction to a foreign market? can that ever be the case?

Trade advantage description only mentions exports but I'm pretty sure it works to determine import priority too
I think it counts your advantage at the market they are importing into, so you can spend advantage to import into a high advantage market
You should go to the market page and hit the countries tab to see a list of countries, then sort by trade advantage. I assume you need more in your home market to do that? not sure lol
Not sure about embargoing

I just learned that the UI is fucked for explaining formations. Just because the unit is below one another in the flankage of formation, doesn't mean it's waiting it's turn. They all take up frontage so you can assign stronger frontages on one flank to make their flank collapse sooner.
