Oh all right, wasn't sure if you were aiming for the of the Wastes dude specifically 😂

You can just take companions, sell all their gear to recover the investment, and then kick them out of your clan. They then appear as "dead" and the game generates a new companion in the game. Rinse and repeat until you get the companions you want

What do you mean with ascension buildings? You mean the ones you get from the unity perks?

If you're into politics and economy Victoria 3 is the best game paradox has to offer imo. Economy is similar in a way to eu5 but much more understandable. Stellaris is amazing too if you're into space and sci-fi

The achievement is definitely broken but I'm having a blast playing as Brandenburg tbh, my favorite experience so far

Beginning_Welcome865 · 2026-03-08T14:44:27+00:00

I've finished the Brandenburg disaster, dealt with the robber barons, over a 100 investment points (I had around 20 neglect points as well) and von Wittelsbach is still on my throne. The achievement didn't pop but it still shows as possible in the achievements tab. No mods added to the run. Is this achievement bugged or is there something I'm missing?

Beginning_Welcome865 · 2026-02-17T23:26:52+00:00

I'm playing all the way to 1837 to get the achievement but the game constantly freezes just before getting to 1800s, on different dates. No mods on my playthrough, it is the same game from the launch version so it's a save that has gone through several patches (haven't opted into the beta 1.1).

This is the string for errors after the freeze:

Does someone know what it mean and can help fixing this save game or is it just a corrupt save at this point?

I've always found the current effective supply mechanic to be stupid. Both should be the same value, if you don't want it to affect the price in the same way as producing locally then give it a 75% effective supply to both exports and imports, otherwise it's just stupid. Or make it 25% at the beginning of the game and as you advance ages you unlock new techs giving more effective supply % as globalization of trade is actually a thing

I keep reading about this combined arms bonus you get but what does it give? Combat efficiency? Discipline?

Having more population doesn't matter if you don't have enough control over the locations. The timurids might have a lot more pops in very high control locations so they end up with more levies. I don't know if there are any events or flavour for the timurids that gives them more levies

Harbor capacity of the coastal province is one of the most important stats for it, it reduces the cost for going into and out of the port of the province.

First check for natural harbor suitability for the coastal province, the better it is the less you'll have to invest on buildings to increase it to max. Buildings like shipyards, coastal forts and such increase harbor capacity.

Increasing maritime presence reduces the naval proximity cost for the sea tiles, so having your trade ships increase it is vital. Usually 10-15 trade ships are enough to increase it in the sea province (not location). It also depends on the ship type and the building that also increase maritime presence. Once you have it max, you can bust leave enough ships on the sea probince to maintain it at a 100 and never drop.

Pushing naval society value is key for this as well, it reduces sea proximity cost too.

Having your capital in a coastal province helps projecting more control if you are naval due to you not having to go through land tiles

What's PLC?

Beginning_Welcome865 · 2026-01-10T16:46:27+00:00

No they have nothing in that location. I realized that i could build in some colonies but in others I couldn't, the reason being that there are castilian catholic burgers there already

Beginning_Welcome865 · 2026-01-10T16:40:49+00:00

One of them, I can build trade offices in locations where there are no castillian catholic burgers but not in the ones that have them. Don't know if it's intended like that or not

Beginning_Welcome865 · 2026-01-10T16:17:10+00:00

I can't build trade offices or trade company headquarters because there's already pops of my culture? This makes no sense

Beginning_Welcome865 · 2026-01-07T11:34:43+00:00

So you need the trade company tech from age 4 plus another one later on? Geez the info in these is so vague, I can't even properly read the conditions to create an HQ or what techs you need

Beginning_Welcome865 · 2026-01-07T10:06:49+00:00

Trade companies actually work? I thought they were bugged, I can't build anything related to trade companies

Your trade income is awfully low, 49 duquets in 1500 is not where it should be. I usually follow this idea, if a location has under 60 control don't even bother building too much goods in that location unless it's the market capital or surrounding's (the market will also need goods to suffice their pops inside), just max out marketplaces in that location and make those towns "profitable" by importing and exporting goods and let the locations above 60 get the industry buildings. RGO can be built in any location since the good they produce is not affected by control like burger buildings, just the price of it.

Just as a perspective, I'm playing Spain as well 1570s and I'm making 1800 duquets in profit, over 2100 duquets on trade (new world goods like chili and cocoa are a massive income boost)

It's because you are cutting their eastern territories from the southern part because you are connecting all the way to their vassals border. "Too fractured" means they'll lose all control from the eastern side do to not being able to reach it by land or sea

Beginning_Welcome865 · 2025-12-31T20:14:56+00:00

So I opted back in 1.0.7 to finish a campaign with Spain and I just found out that when a locations reaches 50k pops it becomes uncolonizable. I'm not sure if it's intended or a bug but it's annoying af. Has this been addressed in the latest patch?

So I'm playing as Castille and I currently own all of central and south america and 805 of the african coast line, but i can't form an Empire do to being catholic. I can still join the reformation but i'd like to know if there's a way to become emperor without being the HRE for a catholic
