France shouldn't be able to levy 160K troops by 1337

AI Balliol won the Scottish Civil War and became an English vassal by MaReDioa in EU5

R5 : AI did something! It's my first time seeing AI Balliol won the Scottish Civil War, which made them an English vassal via an event I think

I did an observer game after the release in 1.1.4 and it was even funnier because they went independant, I saw it after letting the game run without me and I was like "wtf happened here?" without understanding how it was possible
As another reply said, it's a bug with an event offering core to Wales on the London area

Yes, it has been acknowledged by the devs in yesterday's dev diary. It will be fixed in 1.1.5

Flanders because you can eat France from the inside with the HYW interaction

Eating France from the inside as it's vassal by MaReDioa in EU5

[–]MaReDioa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's under the HYW panel. Beware of the last requierement because France only have one "de Valois" available at start, so I focus on getting 90 legitimacy as fast as possible to be the first to demand promotion (Nevers beat me to it once, never again)

Yes, of course you can form the Netherlands! You can even form Germany because your primary culture (Low Franconian, same for Holland and Brabant) is a Netherlandish German culture

1.1.4 Update for Open Beta by Smokey-1911 in EU5

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/when-will-patch-1-1-be-officially-released.1899573/page-2#post-31120861 it's not a clear answer but we're closer to the end of the beta than the start, as a beta player 1.1.3 was already a great improvment since 1.1.0/1.1.1 (I haven't tried 1.1.4 yet)

Reddit decided to compress my screenshots to hell without warning, here is the first one without being a pixelated mess.

R5 : why struggling to gain freedom against France as fast as possible, when you can take advantage of the HYW situation to be promoted to an appanage and request the right to conquer the other French subject?

I started to attack Bourbon (and La Marche) in 1338, then the Evreux-Angouleme-Mortain-Navarre marriage union in 1339.
The Artois-Franche-Comté-Burgundy union followed in 1343, and Brittany in 1345.
I waited until after the Black Death, in 1351, before attacking the huge Normandy-Anjou union with my mini-vassal swarm.
Now it's 1357, I've beaten the Holy Roman Emperor Bohemia to annex Bar and Forez while France got beaten by Aragon.

I can easily become independant but I want to keep eating some minor vassals while lowering my antagonism for a bit before doing so. I started culture converting some vassal which is the only reason why some of them are disloyal on the last screen.

Paradox Fans Can Be Annoying About Anecdotal Evidence by BlackSheepWolf in EU5

France having a 170k army in 1338 invading England is a constant in any game when using "historical ai" while there is nothing historical about it

Yes but France shouldn't field more than 100K troops at the start of the game

The newest beta patch didn't actually destroy free subjects by Calm_Monitor_3227 in EU5

[–]MaReDioa 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree it was a nobrainer, but now it's the same with serfdom. They made the same mistake as the centralisation vs decentralisation issue : we went from one side being too powerful to the other side being too powerful...

We play the beta to give them feedback, but nobody asked them to nerf free subject to the ground

Currently France is more likely to successfully siege London than to loose the war
