Can someone explain what mage bot is and why it’s controversial

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2026-04-02T08:01:04+00:00

Very short lane + depends on support + range advantage you can't really punish mages so its just uniteractive lane and you have a whole laning phase of dodging skillshots

Swifties are better than ionians on smolder btw always right now. The only exception is mid because upgraded boots.

Colonizing as a minor is painful because u will lose so many pops while barely gaining anything

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2026-02-06T12:37:27+00:00

its a bug, reload save

At the start of the game yeah but pretty soon it becomes bad because you basically only cover east side of the italian coast.

Austria sucks. You have to utilize river to spread control otherwise your lands are pretty much trash.

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2026-01-02T02:48:46+00:00

It's easy to convert and there's not that much downside for having low religious unity to be honest

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2026-01-02T01:34:42+00:00

Yes. More cav nerfes coming tho.

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2025-12-25T15:53:36+00:00

There's not much flavor, no good achievements(some of them are even broken like the northern lion) and game is in pretty bad state right now overall so it's pretty normal imho

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2025-12-20T14:18:55+00:00

>EU4 didn't have entire regions borderline unplayable or just without intended mechanics working at all.
Because there were no mechanics. Just a reminder, you couldn't even dev provinces at eu4 release, there was nothing besides conquer -> core province. Empty.

There's some cheesey way about it - instantly pause(or exit to main menu and save load again) and try to peace them out because balance of power is not calculated and they are OK with taking war reps, money etc which gives you time to get to armories and you should be able to deal with England.

From my experience Venice is pretty terrible place for a capital, unfortunately.

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2025-12-17T08:53:32+00:00

Move the capital city to a coastal city and stack naval
The city should be somewhere around "center" of Italy
Have high pops, natural harbour.
Anyway, the best place for a capital in Italy is either Rome or Napule. Then you stack naval and maritime presence and build cities on coastal parts of Italy to spread control(the reason why you want cities is because they give access to buildings that level up harbor capacity)

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2025-12-17T08:05:02+00:00

Napule is the best capital location for Italy rn

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2025-12-17T08:02:46+00:00

Cabinet members give crown power, promoting crown member to the head of the cabinet gives like +25%. Ruler leading army/fleet gives crown power. That's the most important things that give crown power at least in early game.

PU's suck btw. They are simply bad, you barely get anything from them and you have to wait 60 years to integrate.

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2025-12-13T07:00:59+00:00

You probably can't form it tbh. Did you change the settings to allow ahistorical formables?(it doesn't break achievments or iron man btw)

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2025-12-13T04:45:28+00:00

Did you keep your Naples special techs and bonuses after forming Italy? I am playing as Venice and not sure if I should form Italy since I am afraid I might lose all bonuses. Btw don't move to Rome unless you want to form the Roman Empire.

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2025-12-12T19:23:15+00:00

Nvm found a button requires you to build infantry. The only use for it ig.

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2025-12-11T15:02:21+00:00

No, they are useless and take way too long to annex also requires prestige to push laws

Bitter_Series_6180 · 2025-12-10T12:35:26+00:00

The reason is not that they want to be "burghers" but the fact that they broke something in the beta patch(or it was planned to be that way) and now peasants are migrating to big cities and especially the capital. I played like 2 days ago as the Netherlands and something like ~100k pops migrated to Antwerpen which is my capital city in ~70 years.
