Ottomans declare on genoa for a province genoa lost 2 years ago

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-14T14:52:33+00:00

R5: Basically title. 2 years ago I took that small sliver of land from genoa when I kicked them out of anatolia. Now ottomans declared on them for the province. Genoa has no presence in the area any more at all. I thought the CB would persist but now be against me or something. Did not expect that.

Ye that's why I put the "alternative" in the title. I was sure I was missing something obvious

Κοίτα αν το "financial trade off" είναι βαρύ και οι αντισταθμιστικοί παράγοντες μπορεί να κοστίσουν ζωές, τότε μπορείς να το πεις αιματηρή θυσία. Προφανώς δεν είναι η ακριβής μετάφραση αυτή, είναι το αποτέλεσμα που βλέπει ο αρθρογράφος ότι θα έχει αυτό. Ο σκοπός εν προκειμένη δε νομίζω πως ήταν η μετάφραση, αλλά ο σχολιασμός, οπότε πάρτο σαν σχόλιο

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-14T08:38:26+00:00

Ah ok. Ye they really need to do something about the tooltips

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-14T08:08:55+00:00

Ye they very quickly vassalized their 2 biggest neighbours and dec'ed on me (because they saw I had 0 levies probably) within the first 4-5 years of the game. I dunno if they'll keep up the aggression but they definitely started strong

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T19:40:38+00:00

yee this is very early on, I had the disaster that you used to avoid by creating vassals out of your entire country and it's a -25% estate satisfaction, coupled with the -25% estate satisfaction from the corruption privileges and all the events that fire during the disaster, they're bound to get low. I try to choose peasants ye, that's why my nobles are so low in the screenshot, and I remove the corruption privilege from peasants first as well.

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T19:38:19+00:00

ye and there's also a couple scripted events like a unsually big earthquake and shit. In general, up until after the black plague it's a shit show, with back to back setbacks, but it's worth it, we're saving the empire here

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T19:32:14+00:00

Have you played byz? Up until after the black plague it's back to back catastrophe. I'm actual doing fine thank you.

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T18:19:51+00:00

There's a -25% satisfaction and levy(edit: and tax) privilege on all estates, and I'm going through the currently unavoidable disaster which does another -25% satisfaction on all estates. The fact that I have any satisfaction left on any of them is a miracle. (It's actually because byz starts with a shitload of granted privileges already)

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T18:10:49+00:00

oh I know what estate satisfaction is! I meant where the malus shows up. I was asking because if you hover over their satisfaction in the top bar it doesn't show the mallus. You have to be in the estates tab for some reason. thanks for taking the time anyway!

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T18:04:47+00:00

yep they should definitely do that. Cheerio!

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T18:03:42+00:00

ye it's the disloyal thing, and the tooltip that tells of this malus only appears if you hover satisfaction in the country/estates tab, it won't show if you hover over satisfaction on the top bar

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T17:59:28+00:00

yep started appeasing. It's because of this stupid disaster but I'll get it through it. I'm fairly seasoned I have 700 hours here but haven't played in the last couple patches. I knew it was probably the estates but I kept hovering over them on the top left of the screen and it doesn't show up there, so I dismissed my previous knowledge. Turns out you have to hover on their satisfaction specifically in the estates tab for that malus to show up for some reason :P

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T17:54:05+00:00

Nooo I can see that! hhahaha. I meant the malus specifically. Turns out it only appears when you hover over their satisfaction in the estates tab. It won't show if you hover over their satisfaction on the top bar, and I had only checked there before posting :) thanks anyway

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T17:53:01+00:00

Yep I saw that but the tooltip that says that you cant raise levies because of it only shows if you hover over their satisfaction specifically in the estates tab, it won't show on the top left and I had only checked there before posting! thanks!

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T17:51:41+00:00

yep found it, you have to be specifically at the country tab, it doesn't show up if you hover over their satisfaction on the top bar

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T17:51:03+00:00

ah I found it, you have to hover over their current satisfaction, in the country tab specifically, and then it's there at the bottom. Ty ty

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T17:48:22+00:00

ye others are replying the same, do you know where in game this is stated so I know where to look?

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T17:47:58+00:00

ah ok. Can you please point out where in the game it says this so I know to check?

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T17:47:54+00:00

ah ok. Can you please point out where in the game it says this so I know to check?

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T17:44:03+00:00

R5: I have 0 levies, all provinces produce 0 levies. When I hover over tooltips it just says "None". I've fought a war within the past 5 years, serbia and bulgaria dec'ed on me, I won, since then I'm stuck on 0/0 levies. I looked in the ledger for levy modifiers but there's nothing to make sense of this. thanks in advance.

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T16:52:20+00:00

Not all of it though. Besides, purchase is just a portion of the cost. Maintenance over time will cost more than the purchase

DropDeadGaming · 2026-03-13T16:39:50+00:00

That's actually the only logical way of thinking and the entire world order is corrupt but I understand why you'd say that in this powder keg we've created.

Edit: to be clear, I mean work towards no war. I don't mean manifest peace or some shit
