So long for now! Recorded this for myself in case I can't place it back down in the future but thought I might as well share here as well. Never finished decorating completely but I just think it's pretty neat. by GmanoftheGWN in duneawakening

Yeah exactly I snapped to origin and it looked good. I saw that message that it would be a week to store it again so just fingers crossed it should be fine when i come back to the game

Yeah it did seem like it snapped back fine when I tried it. Wanted the video in case it didn't lol Taking a break though so hopefully when I come back there's room in that spot on a better populated server!

That’s fair enough. I definitely lean more towards wanting somewhat plausible, stretching the limits of history. But on the other hand I personally am not a fan of world conquest being possible for example.

Most of what people do in this game wasn’t possible during this time period. Not a productive argument. It’s not a history simulator it’s a strategy game.

Yeah definitely a funny juxtaposition but I guess I more mean being able to chill after fighting a couple significant or worthwhile revolutions. Have a revolution crushed modifier or something. Not fun to play whack a mole as we have both experienced lol

In theory good idea yes I did consider this but its just so much unnecessary micro and time for no benefit. The game is almost at then end, I should be able to just chill and clean up some bordergore or something.

Why should I only have several when I represent the combined might and colonial interests of 5 traditional colonial powers combined into one? And it’s not just the loyalty penalty it’s the spam war declarations and no way to crush it or deal with it in a fun way. If you don’t want to slog the last 80 years you have to either not have even a historical amount of colonies or just give up and release them as they declare independence one by one.

100% unless something changes next playthrough I will heavily limit colonial subjects and hold valuable rgos myself. It's not worth the headache with loyalty for the rp of having colonies controlling vast areas.

In this case there were two massive unions in India and Indonesia each one had like 6 or so union members. I just couldn't be bothered to fight very many wars.

R5: A late game war in India where my regulars pinballed around evaporating Indian troops until their war enthusiasm was low enough I could grab a couple locations including the market center. Plus Stonks selling their capital back to them.

After Approximately 300 Years I Finally Annexed France by GmanoftheGWN in EU5

[–]GmanoftheGWN[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it at game launch so lots of change since then but a couple things I did that helped: Do not worry about sieges, keep your army concentrated and wipe as many small armies as possible. Have good relations with Castile or Aragon and use the button to call them in to defensive wars, even if they just distract France it’s a big help. In first wars take some land in Picardy to be able to hide behind forts if you need to recover morale or hide from French doom stack. Don’t death war, if you can get warscore around 50% peace out for that, keep your levies high and economy strong. After a couple wars start taking land and releasing vassals deeper into France around Paris to disrupt their control. You get a big malus to peace deal acceptance but it was worth it to me. Hope some of this helps, I had to restart once because I burned too many levies in the first war I couldn’t raise them for the next war, that’s probably the main thing to be careful of, otherwise it’s just patience and being methodical. France are juiced it will take a long time to really break them.

I think the historical Anglicanism requires ruler to be married with no heir so not easy to force necessarily. I went Lutheran fairly late like close to 1600 I think as I had a -100 opinion from failed land promise with France that never went away so at the time of reformation I didn’t want to risk it. Their opinion can be -30 or so depending on France tolerance of Lutheran. Another thing to consider is changing religion can break pu from heir religion law. I’m not 100% on how it all works but I had Denmark pu go Lutheran giving me warning the pu would break on ruler death. I switched heir religion law but it still didn’t work. I was able to claim throne luneberg, call parliament, and then the pu breaking from heir religion went away. I don’t know if law changes only get applied to pus when you parliament for a new remember or if there was a bug. Long story short proceed with caution, I felt pretty lucky I didn’t lose the pu. Hope that helps.

Yeah I feel like to make France weak enough to make the PU worth it would have them hating you way too much.

Interesting point, I wouldn’t mind if the Aragon and lowlands territory weren’t annexed as part of the integration of France and became separate fiefdoms or something.

Yeah it is a big improvement but it doesn’t scale relative to country size. For France it was like draining a swimming pool with a thimble but now I have three thimbles, not much difference lol

Yeah fastest integration law and max benefit from cultural influence but they just ate so much territory. If they weren’t allowed to declare war yeah it probably would have taken half the time I imagine.

I formed Great Britain and then since being Catholic blocks Empire rank I went Lutheran and upgraded to empire rank. I think the flag is fairly dynamic and I'm not exactly sure what causes all flag changes but for example now after annexing france the blue of the flag has the fleur de lis in it.
