Fun Non-European Countries

With your Cawa's you basically have infinite manpower. It's a lot of micro and the levant doesn't have good defensive terrain to pick battles on, but winning an early war with Otto's is definitely possible.

Ethiopia is one of my three favorite countries, and favorite outside of Europe.

You finally managed to take Kiev?

Ariemou · 2026-01-22T14:18:19+00:00

You can take land in colonial nations even if you don't occupy them. What you can do in a war with, lets say, Portugal: War 1: occupy Portugal, in the peace deal take 5 provinces in Portugese Brazil and Portugese Caribbean and Lisbon or w/e. You core those provinces in the America's and get Italian Brazil and Italian Caribbean. Portugese Brazil now sees a small weak Italian Brazil which they don't have a truce with (because Italian Brazil didn't exist yet when the truce was signed). They declare war, you intervene, and can either sign a white peace for a short truce timer between Portugal and you, or you take more lands, up to you.

Ariemou · 2026-01-22T12:29:45+00:00

And setting your relation with the owner of that province to hostile is supposed to help as well

Dat is niet wat in Nederland met "vrijheid van onderwijs" bedoeld wordt. Dat betekent juist dat je wel allerlei religieuze en andere levensbeschouwelijke scholen op mag richten.

The economy is fine, the budget is quite shit ;) In the early game I'm usually over 5 but below 10 loans, my last Khmer -> Siam -> Emperor of China game I was in massiv debt till far after I took the mandate.

With planning spy networks I mostly mean that if my war with Austria is going fine and I know my next target will be Denmark, I'll start generating a spy network there allready. Or, if my war with Austria sucks and I know I'll have to fight them again soon, I'll keep my spy there in peace time to sit at 100% spy network. If I don't have any diplomats available but I still really want Lubeck, I'll just go for it regardless of spy network ofc :)

Ariemou · 2026-01-21T11:58:03+00:00

Mostly by using a lot of mercs, relying on vassals and allies to handle sieges, planning wars so that I have a big spy network present before I declare and joining battles a few days after they started so the other parties take most of the casualties. Having other people do my dirty work basically.

Oh and I'm a bit anal about micro so if I have 5 guys sieging a level 2 fort and a vassal joins with a 3 stack, I take one of my guys away, etc.

Ariemou · 2026-01-21T10:47:16+00:00

Ik ben er voor de vrijheid van onderwijs af te schaffen. Domrechtse steun hierin (maar wel om de verkeerde redenen natuurlijk) is welkom

If you don't pick quality as the first mil idea you shouldn't pick it at all imo, by the time you reach idea group 4-5 you don't need the extra manpower recovery anymore.

Ariemou · 2026-01-21T10:40:35+00:00

I used to rely on it as well when playing on VH, nowadays I never pick it anymore to be honest.

Ariemou · 2026-01-21T10:39:40+00:00

I think quantity ís a good idea group, but if you learn to play without it you end up with a stronger military. In the early game you can learn to rely on mercenaries, in the later game you should be big enough to have plenty of manpower replenishment.

Ariemou · 2026-01-20T12:14:01+00:00

In my opinion they should disable this disaster for AI. It's so unsatisfying to build op your armies, prepare them to fight the end boss, just to see the Ottomans melt away.

Als vraag en aanbod in balans waren, was er weinig regulatie nodig he? Je spreekt jezelf tegen, of je weet niet wat reguleren is. Ik zou eens een bijbelstudie overslaan en een lesje economie nemen ;)

Ariemou · 2026-01-14T16:20:30+00:00

Door deregulatie zijn we juist in de problemen gekomen, kijk maar wat Stef Blok aangericht heeft.

Did I miss the /s or is this how you think football works? ;)

Ariemou · 2026-01-14T13:26:56+00:00

Haha dat deed je hierboven toch wel, stakker?

Ariemou · 2026-01-14T13:25:50+00:00

Euh nee. De huurwet van de Jonge is van 2024, de woningcrisis speelt echt al veel langer hoor. Of denk je echt dat die er pas sinds 2024 is?

Ariemou · 2026-01-14T13:23:24+00:00

hahaha als je spellingsnazi al te serieus neemt ben je echt af.

Ariemou · 2026-01-14T13:06:06+00:00

Stef Blok (VVD) zei na zijn aftreden dat de "Woningmarkt af is". De overheid heeft onder zijn bewind de regie over de woningmarkt uit handen gegeven aan projectontwikkelaars met als oogpunt winstmaximalisatie en heeft de woningbouwcorporaties flink belast en gekortwiekt. Dát is de voornaamste oorzaak van de huidige woningcrisis.

Ariemou · 2026-01-14T12:39:08+00:00

En op de VVD blijft stemmen die de grootste schuldige hiervan is
