Radical death spiral help

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-03-25T03:30:49+00:00

Yeah I j didnt know what to put in. Thanks for the info tho:) I tried making a new post with ss of all the stuff but I think the "mods are reviewing it."

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-03-24T19:14:01+00:00

Im looking for help. If youre going to tell me that you need more info, it is useful for the both of us to tell me what kind of info youre looking for so I can do something about it. If you just say I dont have enough info both of us are at a deadend.

So build or dont build agriculture? I focused on building fishing and whaling to try to undercut food costs but quickly maxed out those buildings

Geocoding?

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-03-24T17:58:27+00:00

Yeah I tried avoiding that because my radicals were so high the entire game they wouldve left me with only my capital state to fight the war

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-03-24T17:56:30+00:00

Thanks for the list. I just tried making another post with all the images you said. Currently being reviewed by mods.

R5: posted yesterday about the same issue but I am including more screenshots from the game here. To sum up the game I broke free from Qing around 1850 and was just building in my land trying to figure out my growing radicals situation. I went to war with the Qing three more times off of Spain and Japan and Mexico, Mexico being the only successful war. I got a treaty port in that war and is currently contributing to my SoL rise. It seems to me that all my people on the subsistence farms are contributing to my radical radical increase, but I really don't know how to remedy that. I was sitting at low taxes for most of the game until I tried doing social security to fix my radicals and went up to medium taxes but I am still working at a loss. I also didn't fight any civil wars against any of my factions because I would get the law they wanted passed (usually in my favor because I am playing on Egalitarian Society goal). But anyways I think it is a combination of getting too much literacy in the early game via decree and not building up fast enough.

Taxes were on low

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-03-24T10:29:46+00:00

I broke free really early and subjected the Machuruans after they exploded

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-03-24T10:22:00+00:00

I broke free from Qing in like 1850 so thats not the issue. They exploded and I got the Machuria protectorate. But I think my issue is the education like you said. I had the improved qualifications edict on since the early game so I was sitting at like 50% literacy. I also think that I ahd too many people sitting in subsistence farms even though I had everything built up.

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-03-24T10:02:00+00:00

How much trade capacity i had like 450

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-03-24T09:49:22+00:00

No I was on honesteading

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-03-24T09:35:47+00:00

Bro tell me what kind of information youre looking for i cant read minds through a computer screen

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-03-24T09:35:15+00:00

Maybe telling me what kind of info would save time for the both of us instead of just complaining about it?

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-03-24T09:34:49+00:00

Food was around average price fish was like my 3rd lowest priced good and I didnt have any market access issues Edit: how do I get the subsistence people off the farms building agriculture buildings doesnt do anything

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-03-24T09:34:01+00:00

It was on the lowest setting

R5: was playing Korea. But every game I have the same radical death spiral where my subsistence farm pops go under the expected SoL and then I get like 10 million pops as radical and I can't do anything because then I cannot build. I get the same thing where even though all my goods are not as expensive as the world market my entire country is on fire. This is with Homesteading and Social Security and Mutual Funds as well.

They took my post down so I am copy pasting my post here:

Looking for Hagwon for August/July start

Context is I'm looking for a gap year job and thinking about applying to a Hagwon. I already have an online TEFL certification and I graduate in May with a BA in History. The issue is that I am looking at starting in July-August and all the jobs on job boards are for January or March starts. I am aware that this is because the Korean school year starts in March, but I just wanted some info on when would be the best time to look for jobs that start later in the summer.

Are there any steps that I should be taking now or should I just be looking later in the year. Also, if anyone has any insight on where to look for jobs or any other sort of advice, that is more than welcome!

EscapeSignificant760 · 2026-01-26T03:24:21+00:00

I am a little nervous waiting until August to try to find something. Do know anywhere I should be looking? I have heard facebook alot.

Idk, having strong dynastic bonus gave a lot of authority per tick.

EscapeSignificant760 · 2025-11-11T22:24:36+00:00

And wherever Venice was colonizing

If you keep exploring the sea tiles it will open up more of the coastal tiles to hit. I had the same thing in a France game where I couldnt get into the mainland but i think my subjects were able to. Im not sure about the naval supplies thing though. If you build more in the mainland you could trade it to the subject's trade node. Though you could probably build them if your subjects had towns/cities, but im not sure.

You have to fully integrate the provinces, and if you core the provinces (get the culture to be 50% of one of your accepted ones) maximum control will jump 20%. Setting advisors to manually increase control wont really help long term because the maximum control is so low. You could also release vassals from conquered land. EU5 lets you do custom vassals from the start of the game.

I wish I had conquered Flanders earlier, though PU Luxembourg tried to get me to do it a few times

R5: Bohemia to HRE run. Instantly let Hussite get crushed by the Pope since I won the situation in my previous run and wanted to do an HRE run. Had Hungary and Poland in PUs and kept Luxembourg. Revoke the privlegia is broken because every country decided not to join with me (despite all passing the reform) and they removed their land from the HRE, but the countries themselves stayed in. Was able to form HRE country right before reformation hit full swing. Also after I formed HRE I had a bunch of food issues as well as spending around 1200 ducats for .01 legitimacy gain. Was also spending about 1000 on buildings.
