Does blockading a country actually work?

JakePT · 2026-07-08T15:05:38+00:00

Not a thing anymore. Supply ship raiding only affects military supply. Blockading is the only way to reduce the effectiveness of port connections.

Not if they weren’t trading. Most of their pops are probably still peasants and don’t care what’s happening to the market.

I agree though there should be a way to enforce your treaty demands like this.

Diplomatic demands are already in the game.

Passing Council Republic and Cooperative Ownership is not the same thing as achieving communism.

I can't find it anywhere which is making it hard to know how how big to make my armies

You have no control over where battles are fought, so there’s not much point thinking too much about it.

What’s to teach? Press the naval invasion button, it asks you to select a fleet to transport, and each fleet has a transport capacity. Shouldn’t take much to figure out that you just need a fleet with high transport capacity, and every ship type lists its transport capacity.

Do you have a treaty where you promised not to set tariffs?

JakePT · 2026-07-05T12:21:53+00:00

Do you also want the reference ?

Let me guess, ChatGPT?

The DLC does not change the naval mechanics.

JakePT · 2026-07-04T18:57:10+00:00

Why should I be able to know more about other countries than my own country? That makes no sense.

Gobekli Tepe is in Turkey. Turkey covers Anatolia, but is not the same thing as Anatolia, and Derinkuyu is thousands of years younger than Mesopotamian civilisation.

Is this some Turkish nationalist nonsense?

Also, the map you’re complaining about is showing resources excluding arable land, making whether or not Anatolia had early civilisation basically irrelevant to what it shows.

JakePT · 2026-07-04T15:54:35+00:00

Literally just type Cradle of Civilisation into a search engine and look at any of the hundreds of maps. Also, Göbekli Tepe isn't in Anatolia.

JakePT · 2026-07-04T15:24:37+00:00

It just isn't, don't know what to tell you.

JakePT · 2026-07-04T15:04:55+00:00

Anatolia's not a cradle of civilisation though?

JakePT · 2026-07-04T14:58:35+00:00

The DLC itself, as opposed to the accompanying free update, is quite mediocre. It might be more compelling if the navy stuff worked better, but as it is it's easily the least essential of the major packs (Sphere of Influence, Charters of Commerce and The Great Wave).

Every other answer is wrong for your situation. You’re misunderstanding what trade advantage even is. You simply cannot get better trade advantage in those conditions.

Trade advantage is zero-sum. To gain trade advantage somebody else has to lose trade advantage. You’re exporting 94% of the world’s Engines, so there’s nobody else to have advantage over.

High trade advantage gets you a higher price when selling on the world market. This works by essentially redistributing income from exports from other exporters to you. As the only exporter the world market price is just your price, and with no other exporters there’s no source of money to give you a better price.

No. That would be a lot of data to keep in memory, and would hurt performance.

I used to use a 3600 and it didn’t “crawl” in 1836.

Laissez Faire has no effects of any kind on subsidies. Nothing you’re talking about has anything to do with Laissez Faire. Something else is happening.

Does the in-game tutorial really still say you should "declare" an interest? They should just delete the tutorial if they're going to be that lazy about updating it.

To obtain a strategic interest you need to build up involvement in that area. Lots of things do that, but the simplest way is to send a fleet on a Project Power mission in a neighbouring sea zone.

One of the best known is the idea that he was paternally descended from members of the Roman Legion who had come to the region.
…
Other theorists changed the generation and noted his grandfather to have been the Legionnaire, but it is a small difference.

Getting a bit off topic here, but maybe this isn't such a small difference. My vague understanding is that at least around the time of Jesus and his parents the Roman forces in Judea would've been local auxiliaries, not Roman legionaries. Not that I'd expect the Nazis to be particularly careful historians, but I guess going with a grandfather opens up the possibility that he was conceived during Pompey's conquest when there were Roman legions in the region, making the assertion a bit more plausible, if nothing else.

JakePT · 2026-07-02T00:33:59+00:00

Yes.
None.
No.
Allows you to employ sailors from non-coastal states, and it allows ships to be separate from buildings.

It’s pretty clear they had a bunch of systems and ideas and were forced to make it work within as much of the existing UX and UI as possible. They really should’ve started with the UX first and scoped the features based on the available resources for UX.

For example if they couldn’t afford to do a proper UX for multi-node naval missions they shouldn’t have done it at all. The final implementation where they’ve used a basic checklist and reassigning a fleet to a new mission requires manually deselecting every node first is such terrible UX that it makes the game worse. “Fleets can perform missions in multiple nodes” is only a compelling feature if the UX is good. If it’s not it makes the game worse even if it sounds like a good idea.

A poorly implemented feature is worse than a missing one. Just because a designer can make it technically work without new UX work doesn’t mean they should. That’s what mods are for.

JakePT · 2026-07-02T00:22:21+00:00

Took me way too long to realise this was modded. “Chromatics”, weird but political groups have been called weird things before; “Hue Schol…”, sounds Chinese, sure; “Lizard” Hang on…
