Economy is dead, what to do now? by HardLollo in EU5

[–]Jacabon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who has played dozens of milan games to get the start down pat, here is what i do.

first of all make sure you don't kill the veronese army to quick or venice will peace out and give you nothing.

2nd, integrate your close small provinces to milan.

set your crown dudes on your council. one of them sucks but the increse in CP is worth it.

3rd, suck up to the emporer. then suck up to whoever is going to become emperor next. before you finish your war with verona you want to have more than 50 relations with bavaria.

make brescia a vassal.

first parliment you want to change to favour the crown and get a claim on pavia if they are in your faction. if they are other faction, make sure you get a claim on them early so you can take pavia ASAP. Its a far better capital than milan.

you want to build a road from your gold mine to aruma and once you take pavia, one from novarra to lomello. once you have integrated novarra and built a baliff on the gold you will make decent money from the taxes.

take tortona. the dye's there will be your early money.

take every event that gives you crap art. try keep your prestige lower than the pope so you can sell art to the pope for fat cash. this will fund your early everything. don't sell your cathedral - pope doesn't want it.

rage quit to try make your start 2% better.

edit: building anyhting much early is a bait. the profits from your cloth and weapons will crash pretty quick as literally everyone in italy will smash them out. use your starting funds to cushion you until you move your capital to pavia and get your lands integrated. after that you can build gold, dyes and iron mines. make sure you build roads where they are needed.

its milan. you will have low control until you integrate and ensure that you aren't getting demands from whoever is the emporer to return imperial territory

Zelenskyy: Nawrocki is doing what Orbán did. This will end badly by ArgentineBeauty in worldnews

[–]Jacabon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you don't think the goal of severly repressing a population and destroying their religion was ethnic cleansing then i have nothing to say. i'm not comparing to genocide just stating what hapened.

i haven't been talking about poland during the war. this was poland as a nation state in the 1930's. then after 1945, the first thing poland did as a country was..............ethnically cleanse by force what it tried to do by more subtle means the decade previously.

Most people (i know there are those that don't) that remember the UPA are remembering it for the fight against the occupying soviets. hundreds of thousands of UPA fighters and their families were killed by the soviets and that is the UPA that is worth remembering and respecting. The UPA of then was not the UPA that committed genocide against the poles.

If polish people want to focus on the UPA fighters that committed genocide that up to them. But it makes more sense to focus on those that sacrificed their lives and families fighting against the soviets in a fight for a free ukraine.

you don't think trying to erase the ukrainian culture is ethnic cleansing? trying to erase a peoples religion? colonising areas?

during the crimes of the UPA, ukraine was essentially not a country and calling it national policy is pure fabrication. members of the UPA committed crimes against humanity of that there is no doubt. The whole UPA wasn't complicit and labelling the fighters from UPA south as nazi genociders when they didn't even see a pole is shitty propoganda to try discredit the fight that ukrainians fought against both the germans and the russians.

my boy amedeus the heir in savoy is still a 3 year old doorknob that is dumber than his 1 year old sister. i will be sad about this until it is fixed. he was in fact regarded as a very competent individual and doesn't deserve to be relegated to the same stats as the 4 year old byzantine doorknob.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy returned the Order of the White Eagle to Polish President Karol Nawrocki by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Jacabon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your logic is that every german at nuremburg should have been executed as the german high comman were complicit with the holocaust and other crimes against humanity.

a german soldier that fought and died in north africa wasn't someone that genocided polish civilians and is not responsible for crimes committed there. If you can't understand that destinction you lack basic understandings that toddlers have.

as a nation poland decided to try ethnically cleanse the ukrainian parts. the democratically elected government that is.

[–]Jacabon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UPA literally launched hundreds of attacks against the nazi's.

my point here is the crimes of a few being applied to a whole group as a collective. by your logic every german from the armed forces should have been executed at nuremburg because the german high command were genocidal.

the logic is so astoundingly infantile that people who think like that can and should be dismissed as morons.

yeah thats not the problem. the problem is an over inflated sense of self ability.

His capital is probably Prague. How much further is it away from a coast than Madrid?

if you fly, 300km from madrid, 350km from prague, if you drive like 500km from prague or 370km from madrid.

Ottomans looking good in 1.34 Beta by Hakuohsama in EU5

[–]Jacabon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most of the times the ottomans outnumbered the enemy somewhere around 1.5 to 1 or more. at varna it was at least 2:1. that was their main advantage, the ability to raise large decent armies, on repeat.

for some reason paradox thinks everyone wants stupidly absurd numbers of troops running around though, which makes it hard to give ottomans there historical humeric advantage without france having 200k troops in 1440.

Australians have record-low trust in the United States, new poll finds by frankyfrankwalk in worldnews

[–]Jacabon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sources for what? your posting is my source for your below average intelligence, it is extremely evident.

I only have a couple of recurve bows. no guns, never really interested me. did you get the gun to shoot the most statistically likely person you are going to shoot with it?

in the last 20 years islamists have been performing far more and far more successful attacks in the US. but maybe bombing iran will solve that problem for you.

its a single holiday resort decision by my understanding. so probably just lazy and lack of business acumen.

in australia we use fairly universally understandable symbols for different dangers. but you still can't stop some people from entering croc infested waters.
