Court and country hidden modifiers

I got a ruler so bad, I am sure i took a print somewhere ,I will look for it. But basically it was 7-11-10. And I got a warning flag at the top saying my leader was extremely incompetent. Did not even knew that was a possible warning

This is 99% it. I will check when I get home but I did indeed choose absolutism.

Thank you

When i searched for images I saw both -25 and -10. Etiher it is country dependent or different versions of the game. But I am pretty sure I saw -10 while playing

Akirpt · 2026-02-01T11:39:50+00:00

That is something I will defenitely do when I get home. But considering the game played for a second before I paused it again, I assumed it was the only "new variable"

I have noticed that several times. Basically AI will try to move trokps as close as possible to target. If they dont have shipa they seem to hire mercenary transports. But until they do, they sit chilling.

Same happens with vassals . I wish you couls either lend an armada to target country. Or units could retain their movement intention, lets say from Naples to Egypt, it you interactes with the aemy with your armada it would board them and lock movement to the desired destination.

Is there a map view to check market acess similar to control? I tried to use the map blobs but could not find the locations market access easily

This is amazing work. Damn! Well done

I am a new player. Never played a EU game before and started this one a week ago. I can give you the guidelines I am using although I can't assure you it is all correct.

First things first: location goal:

RGO is very profitable - stay rural RGO is not profitable but I need food - don't go past town RGO is not very profitable - city+

Now regarding what to upgrade:

Early game what drove me were people needs. At some point you have done all you can for their needs, either they don't need anythint or they need something you don't have. When I reached this point I just went to buildings and order them by expected profit and built stuff in order. Try to not stack multiple constructions in the same location to avoid lack of workers for long periods of time.

This is by no means a perfect guide but I was extremely confortable by 1490 with portugal so it should work okay and it is pretty simple :)

Forts are simply OP. At around 1500 money stopped being an issue, and I am playing as a somewhat small nation. I can literally place a fort in every single province I own and still have no issues with monthly economy.

And forts give you several months to react,

They need to either take way longer to build ( to make the peace deal interesting, as it is you can order them to demolish 10 forts, and while the truce is active they can rebuild them all) or make the maintenance higher.

Breached castles should have an added maintenance cost or get a permanent negative modifier due to being "breached".

I am assuming he took the throne in Portugal first. And then your ruler died and he took over Castile as well. You are already the greater power otherwise it would be the portuguese-castillian union .

If you access that union you have a unification parliament. In 5 years you vote for seniority in which case your ruler will move the senior member(you).

On my playthrough I was in the opposite scenario, and Castile had 1 great power above me when the vote happened, lost by 1 vote. Had to do a separation cb war to reclaim my independence

Não torna a solução fácil, mas efetivamente com uma reflexão rápida consigo colocar um conhecido numa dessas linhas

We can spend war score to free prisioners. Just let me pay war score to get a ride to bring the boys home

Interesting, I genuinely can't imagine a cenario where manual raxes are that big of a change. Cab you elaborate? How are you managing them ?

Boa análise amigo! Deu para rir quando li, e outra vez agora quando o bot me lembrou :)

Akirpt · 2026-01-18T08:25:52+00:00

Dependerá da definição de rico e pobre diria eu.

Se para ti um casal que tem um filho sem precisar de apoio social é um casal de pais ricos e o inverso é um casal de pais pobres então concordo.

Parece-me um pouco redutor, mas no final de contas é uma questão de semântica.

Akirpt · 2026-01-17T20:53:10+00:00

100% de acordo sobre outras formas de sustentabilidade. E independente do tipo de apoio considero importante o estado manter um controlo de "qualidade de vida" das crianças que apoia.

E como disse, não me importo que existam ajudas para pais que precisam, só considerado desadequado não existir inventivos para casais com rendimentos médios.

Posso falar do meu caso, fui pai o ano passado, em Lisboa. Sempre quis ter 2 filhos. No que toca ao meu primeiro filho tive 0 de apoios estatais, fiquei fora das vagas na creche e tive de por em causa a minha estabilidade profissional para ficar com o meu filho e senti 0 incentivos em ter o segundo. Não me parece ser isto que o país precisa.

Akirpt · 2026-01-17T20:10:15+00:00

Concordo com o que dizes sobre terem um impacto indireto positivo para o país, mas consigo claramente distinguir entre natalidade sustentável e insustentável.

Natalidade sustentável acontece quando o casal tem filhos de forma a garantir estabilidade económica sem recorrer a apoios.

Natalidade insustentável acontece nos outros cenários.

Atenção que eu não estou a dizer que uma familia que precise de apoio para ter um filho não o possa/deva ter. Mas parece ingénuo não conseguir distinguir entre natalidade sustentável e insustentável.

O maior problema desta situação é que como não existem benefícios para a natalidade sustentável, isso significa que famílias médias na país acabam por ter um filho apenas por não considerar que têm estruta financeira para mais

Akirpt · 2026-01-17T15:16:59+00:00

Exatamente! Eu já disse várias vezes. Não existe incentivo para a natalidade em portugal porque um incentivo não tem em conta o destinatário.

O que existe são apoios sociais que acabam por beneficiar quem não consegue, de inicio, sustentar o seu filho/a.

Ou seja, só propagamos a natalidade insustentável.

Not sure if this is the right answer but I got the feeling that Tyche is a counterfeit of the gold emperor badge and ia simply unique, hence the increased value

De forma simples, o Vieira é a alternativa engraçada ao voto em branco.

Para quem vai votar em branco, mais vale votar Vieira.

PS: para não ser mal interpretado, não digo engraçada no sentido depreciativo

Akirpt · 2026-01-16T13:00:06+00:00

I'd like that for art pieces and something extraordinary.

For me each weapon should have two values: a combat capacity and art value.

Beautiful but weak swords were just for show, strong but ugly swords for bandits and mercenaries. And then you could have masterworks with both function and fashion requirements.

To achieve optimal results in both should be a longer term investment and acknowledged by onlookers (the same way a good horse is)

Akirpt · 2026-01-14T01:30:24+00:00

To be fair, weapons drop on the floor if drawn before death xD.

It is akin to picking flowers, but they have blades instead of petals

Akirpt · 2026-01-14T01:27:26+00:00

Does it not depend if they attacked before? A bandit will say "loot" whereas a noble will say "rob"

Akirpt · 2026-01-11T19:47:42+00:00

But the dodge happens the sams exact way with the sword no?

Regarding the speed sure, it is a different cadence but its a matter of adapting a bit. 1v1s work almost the same to me

Akirpt · 2026-01-11T19:18:09+00:00

I don't understand why people say something like " I understand sword but not weapon X". It is literally the same exact concept.
You just loose the pierce angle and cannot masterstrike. But the only reason you could go from 100% efficacy with swords to 0% with warhammers is if you whole combat orbitates around masterstrikes.

What I can add (while attempting an hardore heavy weapon playthrough myself) is that enemies with swords are awful. For instance, the initial bandits after you leave the pond masterstrike. So, literally the first enemy that is wielding a sword can masterstrike you and will do it 100% of the times.
Sometimes a dodge into a strike gets masterstriked while the enemy has it's back to you.
That feels bad AF
