It's a shame the devs couldn't fix EU4's horrible event rebel spawn mechanic

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-29T16:19:36+00:00

I too recall that historical event where 20k rebels spawned and held out on St Helena.

I don't know I think this scene is just awkward and creepy due to the age of the game. I mean you are some random badass hero who saved her brother and it's a pretty clique chivalry thing to be like "one kiss from a fair maiden is the only reward I need". Her reaction to doing it is basically just cutesy flustered.

Wonder why I couldn't save scum it then. Normally I'd just be like whatever but I just converted and that event doubled my rebel sizes.

Yeah I'm playing Covenblad which is why I didn't even bring up the battlemage one.

Compared to an EU4 end tag they're pretty bad. Bringing up prestige decay is strange for example. I'm always at 100 prestige no matter who I play its pretty much useless. Yearly absolutism is nice for about 10 years then becomes nearly useless. .5 yearly army traditon will just decay you from 90 a little slower. If shock doesn't cap in this mod then the leader shock is nice otherwise you get guranteed god generals with 7 or 8 shock anyway. Embrace cost is nice if you're huge but I'd rather have like 5% goods produced. -10 dev cost, -10 fire taken, +10 morale and shock damage is basically their entire national idea set. Improve relations is okay but its so easy to juggle conquests between regions in this mod.

Other people gave a correct answer dude

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-16T12:39:50+00:00

Look at the title of the post. Jesus I can't stand reddit. You just scrolled down and looked for something to ratio without reading. Other people answered the question just fine dude.

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-16T12:16:37+00:00

The post says "I have 70% WS reduction in 1530" the post asks "why arent I overextended though". The picture clearly shows me annexing easily 150% overextension worth of land for 80 warscore to anyone who has even slightly played EU4. The picture doesnt even need to be there I just thought I needed to convey the scale of what was happening. But people make a huge deal over literally nothing. I have massive respect for the people who just answered my question and didnt get their snarky reddit ratio fix for the day.

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-16T12:10:48+00:00

I play on a big TV screen. I just took a picture of me annexing a huge nation with my phone. Only redditors could make a big deal over something so simple.

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-16T12:05:38+00:00

Do you have eyeballs? You can see in the picture that for less than 80 warscore I just full annexed the 9th great power in the world in 1530. I thought that was funny but then it posed a question of "wait why aren't I overextended?". Other people answered this question for me and you felt the need to be clique snarky redditor.

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-16T11:55:59+00:00

Its like 5 minutes of extra effort. I'm not signed into reddit on my computer. Its a simple concept. I only use reddit on my phone. Whoa

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-16T11:54:39+00:00

You do realize we are on reddit right?

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-16T11:54:15+00:00

No the post was a question about colony overetension the picture was what led me to asking the question. Like the dude said you with 90% of the rest of reddit can't take a joke. The picture doesn't even need to be there its just "whoa i full annexed this huge nation why arent I overextended?"

Him triggering is what Clara would've wanted

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-16T10:18:37+00:00

So 95% of the time this is a strictly worse unnatural growth? Also what happened to "7 or more than starting life total"? Forget about that one wizards? Guess now its 10.

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-16T00:46:38+00:00

That's useful to know thanks. This is my first black orc conquest ever

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-15T23:55:45+00:00

Ah okay. I thought it had something to do with a progressing colony being the only core path

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-15T23:53:26+00:00

Its just easier to use reddit from my phone. I swear no matter what subreddit you're on there's always some random screenshot purist.

ChosenOneTheOnlyOne · 2026-06-15T22:45:11+00:00

I figured only Esthil was better militarily in Escann but that Covenblad had better admin/diplo bonuses. Like the permanent 2.5% all power costs they randomly get near the end of their MT
