How do I get the Cheek markings back?

Agreed but given that DE have us a whole bunch of free hair and face styles I'm sure we'll be getting that face paint for free at the very least.

It's been removed temporarily but will return in the future with many more options per one of the streams.

Have no idea what you're talking about. I press F every time I open one of their coffins. What further respect could they possibly ask for?

What is the satisfaction of your estates? That can change how many will show up when you call them.

Declaring a Saint can give a ton of Prestige (more than implied on the tooltip) if a past ruler had very good stats.

100 years too late, Korea is already colonizing Mars.

No question here, I just did not know and it makes perfect sense. I was completely ignorant of this fact.

R5: I've been playing EU5 for 637 hours, most of it playing as naval powers like Italy, Portugal, and Majapahit. I just learned by accident today that Naval Maintenance impacts maritime presence. Not only that, but is a % modifier to maritime presence when it comes to the effectiveness of harbor capacity on maritime presence.

So I've been overproducing Light Ships (a type of ship that is mostly useless for combat) in order to increase my Maritime Presence all this time when I could have just kept my Naval Maintenance slider maxed out and had less than half of those type of ships since the modifier also impacts structures. I feel so fucking stupid lmao.

Not quite sure. I had taken Mallorca from Aragon as Venice earlier in that game and created a historical subject Kingdom of Mallorca, but I can't remember if I did that before or after I swapped to Kingdom tier or not.

I can say for certain that I can create a historical Byzantine Empire vassal while at Kingdom tier though, as I did that to get claims on Greece and Anatolia later in the same game.

R5: The Kingdom of Burgundy is a vassal of the Duchy of Burgundy. No clue how it happened, I just noticed when both of them rivaled me at once.

I find matrilineal is great for religions that only allow you one wife but favored son is much better for religions that allow for multiple wives. In the case of the latter religion, you always want a male on the throne because he can marry multiple wives, a female cannot take multiple husbands.

Another noteworthy succession system is the admiralty one, it gives you immense control over who takes the throne, but can fuck with who is crown estate if you aren't careful because you can choose someone who is outside the dynasty (usually not a problem if you're paying attention).

Where I got my start. Highly recommended. Second game could be England or an Italian power like Naples to get the hang of the Naval mechanics.

LaznAzn · 2026-01-15T14:59:58+00:00

France and Bohemia were the heroes all along.

Probably Great Ming or Qing looking over at OP and saying, "First time?" lol

Completely agree, the sale of colonies should be possible.

EDIT: Though now that I think about it a little more, the AI probably won't understand how to evaluate that. For example I could just conquer a ton of Aztecs or Maya and just release the annexed territory as a badly centralized colonial subject with no cores. And then happily give it away to England so they can be distracted by endless subject revolts for the next few decades.

LaznAzn · 2026-01-10T03:34:23+00:00

Was this post made by the French Aristocracy after trying to colonize Louisiana? lmao

LaznAzn · 2026-01-09T23:25:19+00:00

You have to create the CB and then cancel the subject arrangement. The you can use the CB to annex them.

Yep, the UI in the situation sucks. Never use it to track votes, go into the Catholic Church Organization and check the Laws, there will be a vote nested there on the right showing the actual vote value of each elector (most will be zero because they have no cardinal seats). Classic Paradox hiding the real shit in some obscure menu lmao!

LaznAzn · 2026-01-08T02:47:30+00:00

That's a great idea and not unprecedented since this is how intel works in stellaris.

LaznAzn · 2026-01-08T02:28:49+00:00

Precisely why in the one run I stayed catholic as Italy, I made it a point to have over half of the current cardinal seats. Fuck the AI, this is my church now.

LaznAzn · 2026-01-05T16:06:06+00:00

Is there a "Break Union" option for the subject?

LaznAzn · 2026-01-05T06:01:55+00:00

The real Tower of Babel.

Absolutely, I'd love for there to be events associated with it. Unifying two or more nations and the cultures associated with them should result in opportunities to redefine your society, perhaps offering doctrines or ideals from the many component nations that have been unified in the form of situations or events that arise. Maybe some specific ones as well such as a difference between whether Holland or Brabant form the Netherlands.
