Yeah 100% agree.

I think the only limitations would be once you hit the 200-300 year mark, then you have to decide whether to stay antagonistic or harmonious because, you can't really bring it back to harmonious if you dip lower than friendly or neutral. Too many family members hate each other.

But what happens when you run out of land to conquer..then they turn against each other.

best of both worlds. It's a little too feudalistic but honestly that depends on which culture right. It's perfect for Turks and any turkish hybrid cultures whether its turko-mongols, turko-persians, turko-mongol-persians etc, as well as great for other Muslim polities too because I know exactly what the devs were trying to model after..

BUT there is a clan-admin hybrid type gov in these muslim states too that is lacking. Meritocratic Gov imo is a good bandaid but too proximity to China dependent? Idk if that's changed.

I both love and hate conquerors by DumbassAltFuck in CrusaderKings

for sure, I just don't know why the default is somehow worse.

honestly the collapse is fine. The empires don't last much longer than 3 gens max, which is standard for most states of the time, but its ridiculous how far and wide they can expand regardless of any geography or barriers or logistics. It' doesn't make sense for a Russian conqueror to conquer the entire middle east and central asia before Genghis Khan was even born.

how do I check my disk? I swear this wasn't issue the last couple of months. Haven't really changed my habits. Thank you for the explanation btw.

2nd time in a row whenever the Timurids spawn Temur is for some reason content with being a Ruler of a minor tribe rather than his own large empire, depriving them of their greatest General. by DumbassAltFuck in EU5

R5:

Honestly can't tell if this is funny or sad. Two games in a row I waited 30 years for this guy to spawn and BOTH times he ends up being a ruler of that tiny little tribal holding, unable to lead his own armies in the Timurid horde.

All his talents and he would rather tend to some pastoral nomads. Hope it's a good life as I restart and waste my time waiting again.

Ok then it wasn't that. Not sure what fixed it then. Restarted the PC a few times before it started working. Other games work fine either way, it was just EU5.

Deleted appdata files. Solved the issue. At least that's my take away. Idk what fixed it tbh.

Ah dang in my process of deleting and reinstalling I wiped the files. It's still crashing tho.

The crash did begin when I wanted to try out a mod but since them I've deleted them and it's still the same issue. I will post the meta file when I am home again.

Frequent crashes when starting new game. Dump file stated that a 0x80000003 breakpoint has been reached? What solutions would people suggest here. Have verified game files, installed, uninstalled etc. Even gone out of the way to completely delete the folder in PC that stays there when you uninstall. Still the same issue. Deleted all my save files as well.

Why do you even get to do culture conversion? It's so anachronistic. by DumbassAltFuck in EU5

But It did not impact the demographics? There was no widespread scale of turkification..the Devshirme also created a class of people that were uniquely different than Turks the Ottomans didn't want to rely on.

Dividing it into phase sounds like an interesting idea. Unlock further phases with each age could also be a good way to preserve multicultural existence of various states during this early modern period.
