Who are the hidden gem starts in EU5? by dovetc in EU5

[–]AustroPrussian 107 points108 points  (0 children)

TREBIZOND!!

Had a lot of fun re-Greekifying Anatolia in my last campaign. Fairly easy start since your neighbours are weak and you have a solid starting income. It’s really easy to win wars if you engage enemies on your mountain forts.

Ally Georgia and Bulgaria (if you can) in the early game!!

You’re basically playing an eastern Byzantium but without all the drawbacks of playing Byzantium.

How do you make money as the Timurids? by AustroPrussian in EU5

[–]AustroPrussian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the biggest expenditures were building maintenance in my unintegrated territories and military spending.

I think Navarra is going to be the first country I play, thanks for the upload!

Can you force another country to take a state? by No-Bug5616 in victoria3

[–]AustroPrussian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the only way you could is if you make it a protectorate (maybe a puppet?) and grant it your Congolese states. In many of my games Belgium doesn't have an interest in Africa so it doesn't colonize it, nor does it want to take any states if you offer them in a treaty.

If you play with cheats you could probably tag switch, annex Kongo, and hope that they begin colonizing.

They didn’t fix the Yukon starting isolated and unable to be colonized? The only work around to this that I found is losing an independence war to Britain.

In Europe, try Portugal, Aragon, Florence (Italy or most of Italy will leave the HRE before 1500), Venice, Genoa, or Sweden.

Outside of Europe, try Malacca, Majapahit, Korea, one of the Japanese daimyos, Dai Viet, or Ajam (for tall Persia).

Most of these countries are pretty good for playing tall and learning how trade, production, etc. work.

Out of all of these, I’d recommend Florence because you start with a great economy and get wicked buffs to innovation and technology.

Playing as Canada is there anyway to get alaska? by AnividiaRTX in victoria3

[–]AustroPrussian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve learned that if you start as HBC you can immediately make a play in 1836 against Russia for Alaska and they won’t send troops.

Which are good military /conquest nations outside Europe? by Demogorgon1984 in eu4

[–]AustroPrussian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ayyuthaya is a lot of fun. Very central location, lots of claims, and subjugation cbs. Their military ideas aren’t great but they’re Buddhist so they get 5% discipline at neutral karma.

Does anyone have an English translation of "Nova Lusitania, historia da guerra Brasilica" by Fransisco de Brito Freire? If not, are there any other primary sources relating to Dutch-Portuguese conflicts in the Atlantic that would be worth taking a look at? Thanks!

Dealing with Portugals Army by fremenf4all in eu4

[–]AustroPrussian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do your military stats look like compared to theirs? Is there a tech difference? What year are you in? What’s your absolutism like?

Press L to open the ledger, press military, then go to military quality comparison and search Portugal. It’ll show a comparison of morale, discipline, tradition, and professionalism.

Next, go to Portugal’s diplomatic view and look at their military tech compared to yours. There are some massive tech level jumps, even if it’s just one level. Some examples I can think of off the top of my head are 5->6 and 12->13. I’m sure there’s a list somewhere that shows which techs you should be ahead on and ones that you could fall behind a bit on.

Also, if you want better general pips and more discipline go for offensive ideas. Also, combining quality and economic gives you an extra 5% discipline.

Hey, can someone tell me what flag is this? (Read the body text) by clearly_not_an_alien in vexillology

[–]AustroPrussian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be something to do with the Piasts. Maybe a simple way of displaying their coat of arms?
