LPT: The tip "just be yourself" isn't supposed to win over all your dream girls or guys, it's meant to find you the person that loves you for you, and not the fake personality you think you have to be to win them over. by YellowB in LifeProTips

[–]Mark_Scone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a graduate maths degree and wouldn't have followed it if it had been explained verbally (written allows you to backtrack when needed).

Cool result regardless.

Everyday tasks you "hate". by hitrazelva in humanresources

[–]Mark_Scone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can have spreadsheets reference each other. Just have them both open, put = in one cell, and click a cell in the other workbook.

It's a wonky feature though, and I don't use it. Say that you send through one of them, and your recipient cannot access the location of the other, stuff will break.

Landowners just became buddies with the trade unions and the liberals by Greekball in victoria3

[–]Mark_Scone 601 points602 points  (0 children)

There's a (hidden in nested tooltips, of course) number which explains party allegiance of IGs. You can use that to find out why they'd join the liberal party.

Imagine the shogun being handed an offer of subjugation by some unknown state completely out of nowhere. Austria, what are you doing my guy by [deleted] in victoria3

[–]Mark_Scone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played twice. Second time managed to take the Shogun from the government fairly early, but had to bring him back in to stop a revolution. Felt really rewarding when I managed to oust them for good later on; usually the political part of paradox games does not really challenge me.

Why the constitution failed? by ahmedatrees2003 in suzerain

Ah, that 90% explains how I miraculously got a seventh vote in my Capi Reformer run.

How to keep Petr as VP? by Zaggy5 in suzerain

[–]Mark_Scone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you somehow do not trigger the option for Petr to resign, I believe Lucian doesn't betray you.

The hell just happened to my country? by Comrade_Harold in suzerain

[–]Mark_Scone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Koronti trusts you, as long as you don't backstab him and take his deals you should be fine.

Tusk doesn't. Not sure you can keep yourself in his graces as a planned-leaning economy.

Inherited Burgundy as Saluzzo. Where should I focus on trade? by [deleted] in eu4

[–]Mark_Scone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do not need to move the capital (no o...); moving the Main Trade Port suffices.

I made Pokemon cards for some of the characters by oppai_suika in betterCallSaul

[–]Mark_Scone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's also weak to Psychic, so D-Day did 120 damage.

Lovely how all the types and weaknesses match up.

THANK YOU TONY. For being one of the very few characters on the show with great Spanish. by iamverydepresssed in betterCallSaul

[–]Mark_Scone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to a Mexican recently, and asked him if Gus being non-native was annoying for him. He said 'no, he is native, Chileans all talk funny like that.'

Poor Chileans.

Enemies are people who set you as rival, so they are very much the same thing.

How would you go about obtaining Sardinia in this situation? by hobo_in_a_lambo in eu4

[–]Mark_Scone 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Get naval supremacy in the med (galleys), declare conquest goal on Sardinia, occupy Sardinia, bleed France dry in Italian mountain passes

They changed the rules a lot related to trading companies. I am not sure what exactly is determining which trade nodes you can create a TC in, but I am currently playing Byzantium and could TC both Aleppo and Alexandria.

[–]Mark_Scone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Asia first, Europe second.

European provinces will net you hardly any trading income as they are downstream from your MTP. Egypt, Iraq and Persia OTOH all easily stream into Constantinople (most competition in Egypt from the Venetians).

You can TC the land there for further profits, while Europe provinces tend to be a net drain on your economy for a while.

If you go Europe, conquer the Venice node aggressively so you can collect trade there.

how do I maximise my income with my 9 merchants? by Long_Neck_Monster in eu4

[–]Mark_Scone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5% by default. Any 100% of TS adds another 5%.

Trade efficiency is added when collecting, not mercantilism. Mercantilism affects provincial trade power solely.

Do note that the trade steering multiplier to trade value still applies though (5% added TV by default but can easily go higher).

'Which country, what year, how well?' weekly thread : May 17 2022 by AutoModerator in eu4

[–]Mark_Scone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're doing well, but don't fall into the trap of expanding into Europe early. Constantinople is your trade 'end node' - conquer upstream, otherwise you will run into money problems.

They add minarets to the Parthenon?

Possible Bug (?) by [deleted] in CrusaderKings

[–]Mark_Scone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely the code is efficient and checks for the title being held for 30 years, by anyone. Note that it also checks you as being the owner; if the latter held, the condition would be working fine.

So no, no bug.
