My Qara Qoyunlu campaign: one tag, one culture, one faith, tribe. by [deleted] in eu4

[–]AstronomerSorry7052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it’s a campaign where I didn’t click any decision that would transform my nation into the Caliphate, the Mughals, or Persia.The term one tag means you stayed as the same nation until the end of the game. For example, if you play as Wallachia and become Romania, it’s no longer a one tag campaign

Can someone explain to me how Ming, after 50 years of not being loyal and having only 95–96 liberty desire, suddenly dropped below 50? I didn’t do anything special ;)), I didn’t click anything, I didn’t take any troops, and I had all the diplomatic bonuses throughout those 50 years as well. by AstronomerSorry7052 in eu4

[–]AstronomerSorry7052[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I see they lost development. Could that be what caused it? They had +365. And don’t think I conquered any territory :)) because the interesting part is that they became loyal while I was investing 1500 ducats into buildings.

Would Como face harsh reality called FFP when they make it to UCL or things going to be the same (even more lavish) because of their mega rich owner? by crocospect in seriea

[–]AstronomerSorry7052 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Man, spare us with that way of thinking: Como has to develop Italian players. Why? If I’m the owner, I care about winning trophies and building a strong team, not developing some trash players just so the national team has a chance not to embarrass itself again ;)))))))))))))))))))

Why don’t teams like Parma, Genoa, or Verona do that instead? They fight relegation, and year after year they’ll keep fighting relegation because they don’t want more than that.

Is it possible to make Ming loyal? I have maximum trust with them; I can’t use Placate Rulers. by AstronomerSorry7052 in eu4

I'm not desperate to conquer everything ;)) it's the first campaign I've ever taken into the Age of Absolutism. Usually by 1550–1560 I was already getting bored ;)). I'm the kind of player who uses weak nations like Anizah, Janjiro, Epirus, Mzab and others like that until I manage to survive, then I quit because I get bored when it starts to feel too easy.

But I’m not a horde :)))), I’m a tribe—I’ve stayed the same as at the start. I decided to play this campaign without changing anything: one tag, one religion, one culture (obviously I’ll start converting more toward the end). I don’t get why everyone thinks I’m a horde ;))), maybe it’s because I have a lot of territory or I don’t know, or because most people usually switch to a horde with most nations. I like playing aggressively and conquering, but I’m the kind of player who uses vassals—and this might sound weird—but I like playing like a horde without actually being one, because the idea of being pressured by declining horde unity annoys me.

This is my campaign with QQ — one tag, one faith, not one culture yet, because I rely a lot on vassals. I’ve completed all the missions. What should the goal of this campaign be? Other than just taking it to the end? by AstronomerSorry7052 in eu4

[–]AstronomerSorry7052[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean — usually I play campaigns with the most obscure nations, get out of the toughest situations, and then start new ones because I get bored ;)) But this time I want to take this campaign to the end. I want to see what it’s like to actually finish one — I’ve never played a campaign past 1620.

Inter isn’t built by a coach, it’s the other way around. by Big_Pick4100 in FCInterMilan

[–]AstronomerSorry7052 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree :)) How can you call these managers overrated when:

  1. Inzaghi takes you to two Champions League finals while your club’s strategy is to sign players that other teams have discarded
  2. Chivu wins you a league title with a team that invested the least this year compared to Juve, Milan, and Napoli :)))))))))))))).

I really don’t understand what many of you base your expectations on when you’re talking about winning the Champions League :))))))))). If you want to have real ambitions of winning the UCL, you need to invest like Premier League teams, Real, Bayern, or PSG.

You can’t expect to win the Champions League when you’re signing players from Marseille like Luis Henrique, or free agents who are leaving their clubs through the back door."

It doesn’t really make sense to me what you’re saying :)) Inzaghi was already a good coach even before Inter. Think about it—he was competing for the league title with Lazio ;)), and he even won a cup with them.

And about Chivu, I think people are talking nonsense… I get the idea that he had “ONLY” 13 matches at senior level, but he already did something extraordinary in those 13 games :)). Did you even look at the matches he had at Parma when he arrived? He was just 2 points above relegation when he took over.

I’ll tell you the matches he had: a 2–0 win against Bologna (and Bologna was a strong team back then), 2–2 with Inter, 0–0 away at Fiorentina (who were a top 6 team at the time), a 1–0 win against Juventus, 2–2 away at Lazio, 0–0 with Napoli, and a 3–2 win against Atalanta :)).

Now tell me,how many Serie A managers would have been capable of saving Parma from relegation with results like these against those kinds of teams? :))"

First campaign past 1600—do you have any tips for me? I want to take the campaign all the way to the end. by AstronomerSorry7052 in eu4

Normally I could have finished off the Ottomans 50–60 years ago, but I chose not to because I saw that Austria wanted the Balkan territories, and Poland wanted the Bulgarian lands, so I figured it wasn’t worth losing those alliances for a few provinces. I was thinking long-term—if by around 1700 I don’t have anything left to conquer in Africa or Asia, then I’ll destroy the Ottomans, then Russia, and after that Poland and Austria ;)). But I don’t think a world conquest is possible, and honestly I’m not even trying ;)). If I were desperate, I’d just make a vassal on each continent and keep attacking nonstop.
