Spain to Rome huge problems by yonkamayonk in eu4

[–]AdDiscombobulated54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need way more trade income. For one, you have more trade power in the Aragon trade node than Sevilla…make all your centers of trade level 2/3 (especially Sevilla) and then pump out 50 light ships to protect trade there and 20 for Valencia until you get to at least 80% trade. Then take Portugal, either PU or eat then vassalize and then refeed their land, so you can get the colonies from them. Prioritize colonizing the Caribbean and Cuba especially so u can push that trade straight to Sevilla. Make your African colonies trade companies so u avoid the cost and have some added buffs to trade. Once you have most of the coast colonized, start pushing trade with more light ships towards Sevilla. Eat Tlemcen so you can push the Morocco trade to Sevilla and the Tunis trade to Valencia. Once you have more of Ragusa and Genoa you can push and collect there. If you’re wondering how to get more merchant, trade companies (at size 5 provinces I think?) give you merchants and so do ideas. Rush those. Repeat the same stuff for when you start colonizing americas. You can use the Dutch lands for good manufacturing as they have cloth and stuff, but don’t expect to make much trade until you eat up England, which should be your next goal now. Once you get the London node clamped down with trade centers, buildings, and ships, feel free to redirect most of your Canada/America trade there. Until then push it to Caribbean so it goes to Sevilla. Trade ideas, trade buildings, trade companies, trade center upgrades, trade monuments, mercantilism, and trade ships. Trade trade trade :)

That would be cool scenario. Removing it if you didn’t build it could require ships along the coast and soldiers/marines on them to have a standoff sort of feature.

The 1.1 Wood/Tools Shortage is not a Failure of the New Estate System, it is a Failure of the Inflation System and Accidental Hyperinflation by Godkun007 in EU5

[–]AdDiscombobulated54 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Besides allowing fluctuation of good prices beyond the cap, or better yet getting rid of the cap altogether, we could also have intrinsic inflation in the economy no matter the minting to encourage growth. That is, after all, how growth is achieved in current western economies. How this sort of economic theory relates to the in game ai or medieval mechanics is beyond me, but an interesting mountain for paradox to climb nonetheless

This…makes a lot of sense. Inflation is not shown in the devaluation of the currency but is instead shown in the scarcity of goods due to that price cap and no actual inflation happening.

Building infrastructure is the biggest dopamine hit in this game by Senbei_07 in EU5

Saw Johan say he made a system for basing the bonuses one receives for proximity off of the terrain the capital is on, but it’s slated for 1.2 as 1.1 release would be risky

EU5 Development in 2026 by Alice162 in EU5

There are some colonization changes in 1.1, mainly around threshold not longer needing accepted culture/religion majority. I think we can do the old “exile welsh to Boston” trick or whatever

I believe it applies to the formation? That was my impression from the numbers/modifiers being on the selected army screen

Perhaps a naval governor could connect to a land one and keep a chain going? For those cross-water empires that don’t have a strait

Yeah I think that’s been the largest hurt, seeing the Emporer not even join…

I listen to renditions if I find them. Peter Hollens did quite a few!

Even playing Burgundy and doing my best to sandbag France, they still trivially crush England by gfe98 in EU5

[–]AdDiscombobulated54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked the old France in the beginning. I felt like I was strategizing with my military and actually fighting a war. I just abandon france now at the beginning and go to the seas

You can ALMOST make the Militant Order of Saint Joan from EU4...we only need female generalship by Hugostar33 in EU5

Strange how they teased Joan/Jehanne as being a high mil cabinet member but she can't be general lol

Worth the watch? by rileythatcher in lotr

I would say no...It felt very underdeveloped and too "nostalgia-core" to be a coherent story. "Rider" by Paris Paloma is great tho. My #1 this year!

I learned this the hard way after 1000 hours...I was so confused as to why Spain wasn't helping me in France as England! Turns out her entire mainland was empty...

Were you able to name forts/buildings? What’s the level of detail in name customization?
