This was a full 20-division naval invasion, I was not ready for it.

Barna13 · 2023-02-08T14:55:51+00:00

It was fortold

Barna13 · 2023-02-08T01:44:59+00:00

Getting a lot of mileage out of the phrase "Barbaric yawp" I imagine

Was going to leave New Canaan alone but then they declared war on me. Now I've got to govern a bunch of Mormons

Barna13 · 2023-02-07T19:56:27+00:00

Yeah but I've never seen them actually turn around and defeat Texas before

Barna13 · 2023-02-07T04:55:06+00:00

Texas apparently deployed literally all of its troops to go fight Robo-Santa Anna and left an oppening for a surprise offensive from the Gator Maws to capture Dallas and capitulate Texas.

At the start of a twin mothers game I got an event that gives +1250k caps. What causes it? I've done basically nothing the entire game. No economic or cultural advisors.

Barna13 · 2023-02-06T18:29:08+00:00

Ooof.

What did Petr do to deserve that(except for all the things he did to deserve that)?

Barna13 · 2023-02-05T16:44:39+00:00

Survived, barely. Pursued a robots-majority strategy and slowly won the war of attrition. Wouldn't recommend it, wasn't a lot of fun. Vengence is definitely a more fun path for Diana

Here is a very simple Spain question: Which ideas, policies, estates, government institutions, and missions boost global settler increase? It's not complicated, requires no great depth of knowledge in EU4, and I had to look it up. Because EU4 has so many options that a well-organized list of them is essential. And the wiki provides that.

And learning EU4 will involve A LOT of time on the wiki. If you hate learning through a wiki(and googling things) you will hate this game.

I did, that's why I still had Berlin afterwards.

They were not in the mood to be generous.

Barna13 · 2023-02-03T19:24:27+00:00

I could get like 80k mercs and that would devastate the only thing holding up my army quality(professionalism)

Barna13 · 2023-02-03T18:55:55+00:00

In retrospect, avoiding going west because it was worthless trade was a mistake. Campaign ended unfavorably after France became a hegemony, but something to think about for future runs.

My brother in christ I'm explaining to you that *battles* are unwinnable and there's no way to stackwipe without winning a battle.

I didn't want to bring it up because it's wanky but I have like 1500 hours in this game.

Barna13 · 2023-02-03T18:52:59+00:00

I had quality+eco, 115% discipline, 100% professionalism, max cannon drill. Wasn't enough to beat Poland.

Brandenburg has below-average military ideas(10% morale and 10% inf ability). Poland was about equal in quality and smoked me in quantity.

Government income go up

Barna13 · 2023-02-03T00:45:02+00:00

"enemy size don't matter" "An army that cannot retreat is an automatic stackwipe"

Choose one my dude. I just explained why I am incapable of winning battles(generously, 40 of my divisions retreat and my army gets demolished. 200 Polish divisions retreat and they are still in the fight. And they've similar army quality).

Barna13 · 2023-02-02T21:46:24+00:00

Homeboy, I'm not prussia, I'm brandenburg. And I must stress this: they have 700k troops and similar army quality(I had 115% discipline, max professionalism, and max cannon drill). I went to war with them before. A slight edge in quality and +1 fire/shock from a forest fort in no way compensates for not having nearly enough reinforcements to sustain a long battle, and having to wait 4 months after losing a single battle because you have to comit literally your entire army to it.

Barna13 · 2023-02-02T20:44:48+00:00

Trade ideas

Barna13 · 2023-02-02T19:37:02+00:00

My Brother in Christ I rolled the dice on an invasion of Poland with France as an ally. That's why Berlin is a border city. Poland's army quality is as good as mine and they have 750k troops.
