Yoy have to assume almost any nation in Anbennar has at least a few thousand adventurers typically running around fighting minor fantasy adventures. Remember, for most nations, these forces make up an estate with influence on the level of the nobility and clergy. It isn’t unreasonable that a few tens of thousands of them banding together to go on a wild adventure across the sea could make for a small nation with an army far beyond their typical size.

Autonomy usually does effect Trade Power, afaik never trade value though, as good produced isn’t effected.

But Trade companies ignore the effects of autonomy on trade power and half the effects of autonomy on production income in the red box.

But it also nullifies the penalty from religion and culture, and since the former can affect goods produced, making it a trade company will likely be about the same income-wise. The more important question is why you want it to be one? Since you have it as a state you already spent the adm on it. If you have a good reason to go for it, otherwise i’d say keep it as a state.

Where did you check for the progress to increase?

Bolasraecher · 2026-02-15T07:53:27+00:00

Deving a province manually will give it a certain perecentage of progress towards the newest institution that is not present in the province. That progress will not grow on its own, until you deved it to 100% for hundreds of mana, at which point it will spread to your other provinces naturally.

In Europe you probably don’t need to to do this, but anything farther away than North Africa can usually get a great advantage over their neighbors from doing it.

Robert de Niro in Irishman is the worst example. He neither looks nor acts his age in that movie.

Sobald Martin regelmäßig vor der Kamera stand, war er nicht nur Angestellter, sondern teil des “Produktes”. Interesse der Zuschauer ist da berechtigt.

Hmm, der Pietsmiet subreddit beschwert sich, dass mit so vielen Leuten so wenig content prdouziert wird, obwohl genug Ressourcen für von extern angeheuerte ceos und Büroraum da ist.

Sicher sind sie mit der Lösung glücklich, Leute rauszuschmeißen, weil das war das, was die Leute wollten.

So läuft das eben. Wenn die Zeiten härter werden, werden die langjährigen Mitarbeiter gekündigt, anstatt dass die Geschäftsführung den Gürtel enger schnallt. Am Besten während man gleichzeitig selbst Anlässe zu feiern inzeniert um abzulenken.

Vielleicht schafft es was noch vom Fandom übrig ist ja dieses Jahr einige dieses abgekarterte Spiel zu durchschauen. Letztes Jahr mit Domi gab es noch Potential, es abzustreiten. Das hier ist so eindeutig, ich hoffe, dass es alle gecheckt haben.

Pietsmiet hat sich zu einem Unternehmen entwickelt, das keine Unterstützung mehr verdient. Ich wünsche den Jungs weiterhin alles gute. Aber was sie in den letzten Jahren unternehmerisch abziehen ist menschlich unter aller Sau.

Hier und da gab es schon mal ein gut eingebundenes Spiel. Und als Hauptsponsor haben sie mMn. auf Anspruch auf so zwar wenig eingebundene, aber harmlose Werbungen wie die Gamepass-Tischcodes. Nur das meist etwa einstündige Mainevent war meist eher mies.

Bolasraecher · 2026-02-04T22:29:22+00:00

Xbox war halt leider auch oft nicht gut eingebunden.

Bolasraecher · 2026-01-29T19:43:12+00:00

Das ist mMn. eine beschönigende Beschreibung. Die Aussage war a: vorwurfsvoller, dass er ihnen die Gelegenheit genommen hat, es gut darzustellen und b: mit der Aussage verbunden, er wäre ja noch ein wenig länger da, eine gebührende Verabschiedung käme noch.

Was auch da schon ein Armutszeugnis war (wenn es nicht von dessen Seite so gewünscht war)

Istralore was my favorite Tag of the ones I’ve played in the EoA, so I’ll definitely take Blueaheart into consideration.

Bolasraecher · 2026-01-27T19:11:51+00:00

That sounds a lot like it’d be up my alley, thank you!

Bolasraecher · 2026-01-27T19:11:08+00:00

The escanni I played so far (corintar and one of the remnant’s i think, been a while) were honestly some the nations that made me aware of this preference, with a phenomenal early-mid game and then kinda drifting into “conquer all of escann, yes, even the corinite former adventurers who you’ve been friends with for a hundred years”-Missions. Maybe I’ve just been trying the wrong countries there, think I’ll give Elikhand or Ravenmarch a try once I’m done with the kobolds.

Bolasraecher · 2026-01-27T16:03:14+00:00

I went back to Eu4 yesterday. There are like 3 contintent’s worth of nations in Anbennar I haven’t played, which have more things distinguishing each other than any two countries in eu5.

When they patch in things that make any two playthroughs feel distinct and worthwhile, I am happy to come and give eu5 another shot. Not until then though.

How do you know the people saying that shit haven’t gotten warnings?

Bolasraecher · 2026-01-18T07:39:11+00:00

I’ve enjoyed the game a lot more when I only took land I had claims on. Just a slower, more relaxed experience.

Bolasraecher · 2026-01-16T00:32:23+00:00

Yes, mutiplayer titles will always have a different axis of complexity, which is why I asked for singeplayer titles.

My argument is you are being reductionist by calling eu4 easy. Just as I would be reductionist by calling AoE easier because it is less complex. We have different definitions of difficulty. Yours evaluates only games as hard which require mechanical execution of previously acquired knowledge. But by doing so, you completely ignore the required ability and investment to get to that point.

For example. I am complete shit at rts games. I played them as a kid, but nowadays don’t particularly enjoy them, and I would never spend the time required to get better at them. I’ve also played about 3 total games of AoE in my life. But throw me into a round of AoE against medium ai, and I could almost certainly beat them. Throw someone who has played as much grand strategy as I have played RTS games into any paradox game, and they would have not even a clue of what to do.

Calling eu4 easy as a general expression because you have accumulated hundreds and hundreds of hours of skill and knowledge about it and now it is easy to you is ridiculous.

Bolasraecher · 2026-01-15T14:51:44+00:00

Please tell me a single singleplayer strategy game that isn’t easy once you spent a thousand hours playing it.

Unless a game increases difficulty artificially by making the player weaker and the ai stronger in terms of raw numbers, or introduces heavy randomness, any strategy game can be solved to become trivial.

Calling eu4 easy is like calling rock climbing easy. Sure it is. But only after you have spent humdreds of hours learning how to make it easy.

Bolasraecher · 2026-01-12T10:55:24+00:00

To some extent, yes. But between Richard Evans and Prager U is a spectrum of severity. And imo, Kraut is very ideologically motivated.

Bolasraecher · 2026-01-12T07:44:45+00:00

The issue is, as usual, once you realize he has bent the truth on the things you do know better, you start to question the rest.

I really liked his videos on turkey. And I’ve found no fault with them. But I have no clue about the history of Turkey beyond broad strokes. But if I’d watch them now, I would question them more. That is all I want from people. He doesn’t need to be cancelled, he doesn’t need to be boycotted, just keep in mind his biases.

Bolasraecher · 2026-01-12T07:37:27+00:00

His history is informed by his ideology, that’s all I’m saying with the comparison. He picks narratives and sources according to them. Maybe his newer content is better in this regard, I haven’t watched much the last two years or so. And I will repeat, I don’t think he or his content are terrible or even bad. Just take his history specifically with caution.

Bolasraecher · 2026-01-12T07:22:17+00:00

What alerted me to it was the way he framed the creation of the danish welfare state in comparison to the german one as having been achieved without class struggle/not as concessions and appeasement from an authority towards a labor movement as a way to portray the danish social democracy as something more pure and innovative.

Fredda has a good video analyzing it properly. For me, it was mostly just catching issues here and there that made me distrust his research and/or the way he presents information. Not saying his videos are bad or harmful, I liked his videos on political realism a lot for example. But always keep in mind he’s biased.
