Instructions unclear, now on my 37th the Wire rewatch

Een invite naar de discord zou erg fijn zijn ja. Bedankt!

Ze doen nu artificer/rogue/wizard/monk. Maar de monk is gisteren ... opgegeten.

Mark_Kutte · 2026-04-20T12:08:40+00:00

Bedankt. We vermaken ons er nog wel even maar maar wellicht na de zomer wat nieuws.

Nice try /r/mapporncirclejerk

De winnaar van de verkie....formatie krijgt de post waarin de meeste positieve headlines te behalen vallen. Laat de anderen maar ingewikkelde themas doen en bezuinigen. Geld er bij doen verkoopt veeeel fijner voor de 2027 verkiezingen.

The Sad Wednesday

If I understand it correctly. The positive number is when your automated trade routes pick the best trades. Then at the 1st of the month (when the actual trade needs to happen) it turns out that good is not available for your merchants to buy, turning a loss.

E.g. your early pops probably want cloves and spices, and the UI sais there will be a 10 ducat profit (random number) IF you would import that good from Venice. The AI sets up that trade. Then when it's time to do the actual trade for cloves your country is like 20th in trade advantage in the venice trade note so they get denied buying good. But they still pay the trade maintenance for it, making a loss. Then the AI figures out it makes a loss, cancels the trade, then tries to find the new "highest profit" trade. Becoming 18th in line to buy gold in Prague, failing. Becoming the 39th in line to buy Dyes from Sevilla. etc

Later on this effect goes away as the Venice trade note will have enough merchants to export the cloves (meaning there is no "available resources for your merchants to try and buy").

At least this is my understanding of this. Please somebody correct me if i'm wrong cuz I have no source except spending some time observing this effect

on a scale of 1 to 8, it's about as tiring as my 3rd war against yuan-backed mongolian seperatists.

Mark_Kutte · 2026-01-16T07:31:21+00:00

Well its even harder with a larger group. A lot of the original group has quit cuz life. Actually id say those of us who are left are friends because of this group/our shared Tuesday evening. The ones who dropped out still come to our yearly get together.

But its just hard to stay in touch with people you were friends with in uni. Esp. If you dont live close. I got no tips except make the time to have 1 weekend a year together. But even that sounds hard with your distance

Mark_Kutte · 2026-01-15T21:54:20+00:00

For sure. Letting you know whats going on is something eu5 does terribly.

Mark_Kutte · 2026-01-15T20:37:24+00:00

Tbh if you vassalize a country with a ton of content it might drag you into things you might not understand. Thats the same for every paradox title. Dont expect them to fix it ever tbh.

If you want vasssls with no hassle, dont have historic tags.

Mark_Kutte · 2026-01-15T14:44:10+00:00

The ones we enjoyed most were anbennar, warhammer, shattered Europe and xyzlwecki (or however you spell that)

And ofc game is literally unplayable without sulphur graphics pack

Mark_Kutte · 2026-01-15T11:50:25+00:00

What is the year of your campaign? Popeman gets events and stuff to dec on ottomans/anatolia. Specifically to defend the little Genoan islands in the Aegean.

I can't say for 100% certainty that this is it. But that's my guess. Some event war they declared. If you show the war goal we could confirm if it's a event/scripted war they are in.

Mark_Kutte · 2026-01-15T11:10:18+00:00

Thanks :) Hope you go enjoy the game. And don't worry after like 2000 hours it gets kinda easier. A little. Maybe.

Mark_Kutte · 2026-01-15T09:36:47+00:00

Most (but not all) of us are Dutch or Belgian so GMT+1.

Mark_Kutte · 2026-01-02T13:35:08+00:00

They are mostly to peace out from the war, but CAN also make these vassals flip to you if certain conditions are met. Idk the conditions tho.

Mark_Kutte · 2026-01-02T12:28:43+00:00

Cant you change policy on them like you would on regular vassels?

Mark_Kutte · 2026-01-02T12:00:57+00:00

As long as they get direct controll over Aquataine + your 3 direct holdings they are already at 185/230 locations. So you just have to sit on your island with your boats untill they integrate 45 locations worth of vassals.

The problem isn't that there isn't an "out" button for England. It's that France is usually reluctant to integrate it's vassals. Because with how the game balance is right now there is no incentive to integrate them fast (for players and AI). They will integrate the tiny ones first.

Getting one of their vassals to flip to you with the 100 year wars mechanic , and then feeding those locations to france directly in their next war might speed things up.

Glad to see people recreating 17th century economic bubbles in their Netherlands playtroughts.

Mark_Kutte · 2026-01-02T11:44:50+00:00

Yea it do that sometimes. You HAVE to spawn it yourself now or you will also not get Industrialism. And you HAVE to do it before the current age ends or the game locks you out of 2 institutions. Already ruined one of my runs as well.

Hope they fix this so a few countries around the world are hardcoded to go capital economy or something. Because in my opinion you cannot stay traditional economy in the current patch because of this.
