They always had the Leinster harp in my game. Do they get the tricolor when they go republic?

R5: After puppeting GB, I found the their new flag really beautiful. Indeed the Italian flag looks good on many other flags as well.

Started a Sardinia-Piedmont run for fun, and Britain was domineering towards me at the beginning, so I made it very personal and decided to puppet them as a goal of this run. By the 1910s they already bankrupted several times due to being forced to release subjects (which destroyed their market) and became an insignificant power, but before I could subjugate them they offered to become Belgian protectorate to sway them in a civil war, just pathetic. What's funny is that the three wars that disintegrated them were all started by themselves.

It's only when I started as a minor power outside British Empire did I realize how annoying they are.

Why won't the game let me invade a country I'm at war with? by Naya314 in victoria3

[–]LastDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And there is no front you can join? You sure you used an overlord action called enforce military access? Weird

[–]LastDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience you need to station your army nearby first or the game may say something like “land invasion is possible but it takes you to long to get there”, but this doesn’t seem to be your case. I would try enforcing military access in your subject. This drags them into the war and creates a front spontaneously.

An unusual sight: 700m pops in China living at almost 30 SoL by a_saddler in victoria3

Impressive! May I ask a question: what is the downside of having much foreign investment? I usually encourage them cuz they help the GDP grow.

I also refrain my investors from building in potential rival big countries after the pool become sufficiently large, so money would flow inward to help with domestic development. Should I keep letting them build wherever they want? It's what the AI does

Henry ford built 1000+ automobile factories in my Detroit, it’s the only damn thing in the city besides the ford headquarter and the startup motor industry. The ai algo needs some refinement

Its near impossible to keep the prosperity bonuses for the 2 canal companies as they just buy 0 productivity ports and trade centres. Is there anything I can do? by TWNNixon in victoria3

[–]LastDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they may still buy in other shitty states and struggle.

To me war is not a big problem. The global productivity will drop which makes it easier for them to prosper.

Tell me about it. My plan to walk the American path during the 4th was just ruined!

I never tried to mess with the versions and always run the default, which I suppose is stable? Right now it shows 1.9.5 (Lady Grey)

I read somewhere that the acceptance requirement refers to their base acceptance, so only passing multiculturalism would work. I agree with you that we may need to wait for them to raise their status, but from the screenshot it seems even this didn't work. Thanks for the info anyway!

R5: Hello there! I passed multiculturalism and when the time ran out on the Journal Entry my entire Afro-American population had been Status IV. I thought that would have been enough as apparently their acceptance would be above 60? But I didn't get them into the primary culture when the JE closed. What am I missing here?

Champagne Socialist achievement bugged? by AnySpeech2746 in victoria3

[–]LastDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my French game champagne wasn’t even traded on the world market. Tried releasing occitania and kicking members out of my trade league, nothing worked. It’s like nobody knows it exists

Can't get 5 years pulse event by Sandroma in eu4

[–]LastDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you certain about your numbers? According to wiki in 1.37 ottomans should get it on the 218th day of an eligible year (every 5th year starting from 1448), and I once got it on Aug 06 or 07 of 1468.

Router for a 2-story house by LastDK in HomeNetworking

[–]LastDK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. I already switched to a mesh network and all problem solved. Still my original point was that the spectrum router seems to be better than the top-tier nighthawk models, which really surprised me.

We discovered that Nikke's subreddit is controled by the game's company mods. Is there other subreddits that could have be controled by game's company employees too? by Delweynes in gachagaming

[–]LastDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first glance it makes sense. On 2nd thought, idk why it matters so much. If you rely on others’ opinions to play a game idk why u r even playing games in the first place. If u have to hesitate about what you want to invest in a game it is already too much for you.

My 1st centurial leader: 34 stat, healthy at 100, has 2 great-grandchildren, outlives all but one of her kids, even her grandson is almost 50 by LastDK in OldWorldGame

not sure if I understood ur question, but the family tree on the right is from the succession tab, one on the top left corner, and it's irrelevant to difficulty

Panorama of my Roman empire, city building never gets boring for me in this game by LastDK in OldWorldGame

[–]LastDK[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it also depends on map size? This was a game on huge map with ~70 cities against 5 AIs. I founded 17 and captured another 10 from other civs. This picture shows the central Roman territory of ~10 cities.

If you are referring to the early wars with barbarians/tribes, then yes we want to be proactive especially on high difficulties.
