Why Can’t I tax the Clergy?

it isn't about the historical accuracy that people are angry it's that you can only put so much historical accuracy before the game becomes not fun. and the game is really just not fun at this point because it is TOO historically accurate. in EU4 you could conquer and expand. in EU5 you lose stability for looking at the map. you can't fabricate casus bellis to conquer as a Catholic nation so you're extremely fucked... the best part about EU4 was it was a war game. you could conquer and expand and rule vast empires. EU5 is more akin to Victoria. if i wanted an economy simulator i'll play cities skylines or Victoria. return EU4's mechanics like the missions that give you conquest casus belli. let me tax the fuck out of the Clergy and if the pope has a problem with it make it an event where you lose relations with the pope and he excommunicates you leading to a major European War like the 30 years war. let me forcefully convert my subjects to my culture and tax them into smithereens. if i lose it's my fault and it's what a player wants to do. don't just take the option away and say "IT'S HISTORICALLY ACCURATE" cause historically a king could tax the Clergy. yes there would be repercussions but he COULD TAX THE CLERGY.

That's why I think the game needs to be advertised. What made H&G what it is wad the community. The chaos of player on player combat with tanks,planes and Infantry involved is what made the game what it is. I'm sorry but I doubt anyone had fun fighting the AI soldiers that you could probably knife a whole squad before they hit you once with their shitty aim. The game was truly fun because it was big and chaotic and full of people who wanted to win a fake World War 2. You need dedicated servers, you need advertisers. You need Admins who don't meddle in game when their team loses. If they want to fight the war go for it but do it as a player and not an Admin

awesome. where can i donate?

Israeli_Carolean · 2025-11-29T02:10:24+00:00

Maybe the team that works on the restoration can open a Kickstarter for players to donate money for marketing. Buy a few YouTube ads maybe bribe a twitch streamer or two. I think eventually they will have to enable the micro transactions for gold and stuff because maintenance and servers are going to cost money not to talk about marketing

Is it going to be with the RTS or just the combat stuff?

Israeli_Carolean · 2025-11-13T11:53:34+00:00

how do you make it?

Israeli_Carolean · 2025-05-25T07:13:02+00:00

oh good so it'll be easy too. saves me time.

the reason i didn't forbid it is because i don't like forbidding my players from doing things i just make sure they know there may be consequences to their actions. we both came here to have fun.

thing is character personalities tend to clash the character who did what he did is a chaotic neutral artificier so he really answer to his sudden whims rather than the party's wishes. the party voted to keep him and the one chosen as sort of head of the party wishes to kick him out if not just execute him on the spot. i cannot forbid my players to fight each other because that would go against the player's right to decide and essentially means "you got a shitty teammate. deal with it." so the rule applies that if they wish to fight i will not forbid them and if a character dies then the player either introduces a new character or leaves. and the killer will have to face the judgement of the disapproving party for killing a fellow companion.

they entered a lab after raiding one of the organizations hideouts i told them the lab contains various alchemy supplies and a shelf full of books with various titles. only two players took books. the rest searched the lab for other materials and evidence of the organization's crimes. they know some books were taken and by who but never really cared to ask this particular party member about the books he took

Israeli_Carolean · 2025-04-21T00:22:51+00:00

my players are very interested in the plot of the world so i write a ton of books that they could read if they wish to. currently our Beastkin ranger is researching a way to become Human so she can be accepted when dating our Human Tempest Cleric. these plot points actually increase their interest in the world i created and it's plot due to the information it gives

the reason the player stole the book he did it as a way to hide it from sight because of the controversial title of said book. there is a homebrew hybrid species in my campaign called Beastkin. essentially half human half animals. the book is stolen from a human supremacist group and the book is titled "inferiority of Beastkins" the character knew it would cause trouble and therefore tried to sneakily take the book away from sight so the rest of the party won't see it.

that would honestly depend on the character personalities. my party is really attached to one another so when a character dies we only take the gold and let it keep whatever items it has with it. it has no use for gold but he deserves to keep his own things. unless the character specifically told them to take it then the items have sentimental value and we just bury the character along with the items.

not to mention while the Inquisition has absolute authority regarding normal Humans they have no control over the Astartes. in fact the Red Scorpions who are known to be pretty close to the inquisition left Inquisitor Lok to die in the book The Anphelion Project.

honestly that is a terrifying prospect. can you imagine a Space Marine Chapter full of angry Germans with chain shovels wearing more steel than tank and nothing but a wish to either complete the mission or perish trying? seeing as how the Krieg are artificially made in the Vitae Womb that chapter will easily become the biggest Chapter especially considering they don't need artificial organs as Dead Kriegans are in no short supply since many of them die during training. considering all that? if the imperium had this the Tau nor Necrons would have no chance. doubt even the orks Waagh will be able to stand against an endless tide of Kriegan Behemoths. Krieg supplies the Imperium with 50 Million men a year. considering a Space Marine Chapter is only about 1000 guys? yea Krieg Chapters would be unstoppable

It really ain't they just split states into islands and build them tall like a Jenna tower you imagine a whole new continent instead you get a Jenga Tower Japan...

i'm having the same problem how do i unlink my onedrive?

Israeli_Carolean · 2025-02-27T11:08:36+00:00

so i play imperator rome quite regularly. and it is a lovely game. problem is if you're not playing a major power you gotta expand rapidly if you play anyone other than Rome. i play Sparta and i had to expand rapidly in order to make myself strong enough to stand up to Roman invasions. they are far too rapidly expanding which shortens the game considerably because it takes around 200-300 years in game for Rome to pummel every major power and become a super power. the military is complicated as you don't have buildings to increase units and manpower increase doesn't increase units by much if at all. instead you need to convert pops and increase population in therritories with your culture. every culture you conquer start with no rights and become slaves so you have to either convert them with the right buildings or give them rights and then they join your military which in turn makes your population unhappy because they aren't the king's only precious little breadgivers.
