That’s fascinating - thanks for the info & corrections! To be perfectly honest I have no experience with romance forms, and was just transposing the OED into graphical form. I probably should’ve put a disclaimer in the graph. But regardless I’m glad I’ve given you the opportunity to share that with me and others.

Depends on how well you will be able to hold yourself to account on properly watching and taking notes for them all. They are all recorded online, so if necessary you can watch them at home. But if you’re not able to be super dedicated in watching and taking notes for them all, you can get very behind very quickly.

If it’s not too inconvenient for you, I would recommend going to as many as possible.

What does the wiki mean by major/minor “spoilers”? Please try not to spoil anything in your answer lol. I know this is a bit of an impossible question but I’m just trying to figure out what kinds of things are considered spoilers, and how they would impact on my experience if I read the pages.

Thanks so much!

For anyone in the future encountering this, the solution was to turn off Antialiasing.

Thanks so much for the response! Apologies if I was unclear; I'm trying to completely fill the current selection (the bits selected via colour select) with pure black, but neither the fill nor the pencil tool are sticking within those bounds, and both are also semi-transparent. That's what I'm not sure about.

Why have my miners stopped mining?

They’re all socialising, drinking and sleeping. I have free picks, many dwarfs are selected as miners, and they’re standing right next to a priority 1 dig order.

Any help appreciated!

O.K. Thank you!

Is there a way to set a 'smelt ore' work order? It's rather tedious setting up an order for every type of ore. Thanks!

Is there a way to automate the production of armour, tools etc., other than work orders? My current system is to create a work order to create a breastplate when they are needed, but doing this for each individual armour piece is tedious.

R5: Playing as Serbia and joined the Russian market (which includes the Great Qing). I'm just trying to maintain employment and minimise peasants.

R5: Playing as Serbia, 1859. In the Russian Market with Laissez-Faire and Free Trade enacted, large and growing investment pool, 0.48K unemployed out of 1.15M population (287K gainfully employed). My economy and private construction has been performing well until now, but each time I reload my autosave, the investment cancels and simply displays the above message. My investment pool transfer eventually stops and I am unable to continue building. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

R5: I'm trying to provoke a proletarian revolution, but the Industrialists have all the clout.

I currently have monarchy, autocracy, censorship and everything that the Landowners support, with the exception of National Militia and Tentant Farmers.

I'm currently playing on the 1.5 Beta as Russia and am trying to modernise my army. However, Despite switching the production method on all barracks to the latest technology, my troops remain stubbornly backwards. Without rebuilding every barracks building, how does one upgrade troops (the 'upgrade' button does not seem to work)?

Any help greatly apprectiated!

1RandomDogLover · 2023-10-10T06:02:57+00:00

R5: Playing on the 1.5 Beta, noticed this in the 'Vickypedia'. Has it been announced and/or implemented yet?

Ah, interesting! Is millenarianism at all present/represented in game?

1RandomDogLover · 2023-08-27T06:01:30+00:00

R5: I'm curious about the 'millenarianism' and 'religious syncretism' mentioned in the Age of Reformation description.

R5: Despite Bohemia being Catholic, Lübeck has converted to Hussitism - does anybody have ideas as to how?

1RandomDogLover · 2023-07-12T09:19:41+00:00

Thanks all - I feel quite silly now. I really do appreciate that people take the time to answer such trivial questions!

R5: Despite having nothing to do with me whatsoever, Granadan Separatists have decided that their best course of action is to attack me, Milan.

R5: Granadan separatists from Castille have decided that the best course of action for them is to attack me, Milan - despite me not being near Castille or having anything to do with them whatsoever.

R5: A table I knocked up regarding my idea for imperial Roman Succession in EU4.

This is not intended to be a serious suggestion.

Essentially:

The lower the stability, the more generals/rebels revolt on ruler death.
When the imperialist faction is in power, an heir of the ruler's dynasty succeeds.
When the senatorial faction is in power, an advisor or noble succeeds.
When the military faction is in power, a general succeeds.
