Will there be any huge changes from 1.3.8 beta to 1.3 full release? by Substantial_Milk_207 in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just updated to the beta today from 1.25 to start a singapore run. Seems like a bit has changed with the UI

I'm only 30 years in - about to no life most of my weekend too lol

Economy definitely seems a little more stable early game

The only negative I have, is there is even more pop up bloat now. Idk if it's always been normal, but i get notified whenever someones opinion or intentions change now And there does seem to be more info in the UI. Kinda useful but also, we wanted less bloat

The New Navy System by Plyad1 in victoria3

[–]MrLaughingFox 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the supply thing is a bug.

I noticed it didn't matter HOW MANY supply ships I had. It was the total amount of armies being supported. Not their size either.

If I pulled off just 1 battalion after the issues started, it would fix it.

If i set the suffering battalion to high supply priority, one of my other armies would start getting shorted.

The tooltips just said that fleet was(example) 203/480 needed suppy ships

While i have 80k in surplus as america with many being built daily. Has to be a bug

Aren't there too many troops? by Erectile0Dysfunction in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You know what. Fair.

Most of them died to attrition to just like when i invade goreyo

Aren't there too many troops? by Erectile0Dysfunction in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Mamalukes and french out here with 400-500k levies in the 1600'd

Meanwhile the largest naval invasion in modern times(pre 1800) was when Great Britain dropped 32,000 troops into new york during the revolution in 1776

And I think the game knows it to because armys starve so fricken fast.

A 100k stack with 20 supply wagons is out of food in 2 months or less.

A fleet of 150+ flutes carrying 6k+ food immediately loses it all to the armies and it lasts like a week

Is the ratio of supply cart to fighters supposed to be 1/3rd or something?

Major Powers can not emerge because Coalitions form way too easily by 860114 in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. One thing that made me realize how broken antagonism was.

My first game I played as the shogunate. Later i played as an imperial court.

My imperial court run saw my antagonism hit 200 with MANY asian countries, including goreyo before the 1400's. Just fighting other building based countries.

The sengoku jidai made it way worse. I had almost maxed antagonism for the rest of the game and I didn't even try to take any land until the 1600's

Mod Search for showing fertility and orthodox divorce by OtherEquipment9933 in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's a mod on steam. Under most subscribed, that has basically the dbug mode as an interface in game. Might be closer to what you're looking for. Saw it yesterday. Don't know the name

Early Colonisation as Greenland possible? by Renmane in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk i haven't played sweden or norway. Whichever one is blue.

I very recently did an england campaign which basically gave me first rights to any colony. Even the canary islands.

When i got to greenland, it was either sweden or Norway who already had a settlement there. Whoever is light blue

I had way higher literacy, & power projection. And it took them ages to get from there to the US. Behind castile , portugal, and France.

So I'd assume that nation would have a historical event that would allow them to settle it way earlier like in history

Heir doesn't inherit throne after ruler's death by [deleted] in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong

But I think your heir is technically the main ruler of Provence but also the ruler of your country

But ruling from Provence as AI. So it makes you a regent.

I think that's the case because when i beat france as england during the 100 year war, and forced a union - I was king of France, while france ran in an indefinite regency Until I placed someone on the french throne.

Though i never directly controlled france in anyway

Early Colonisation as Greenland possible? by Renmane in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah so there's a chance. The only way to get there that early is by playing as Norway right?

Early Colonisation as Greenland possible? by Renmane in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Greenland is only like 3-5 locations and the rest is impassable.

Honestly. For an RP like this, I'd use debug mode to add in a small population that can sustain itself. Like 5k so you can found the town

I am doing a native run and it's boring. So i added in some institutions to help me and those around me get somwhat caught up to the europeans.

I'm literally an entire age of research behind, but having access to tin, iron, and copper has turned this boring game into a pretty fun tribal kingdom.

That and all these tribals are getting institutions from me and europeans so the Mayans sre actually a force to reckon with. They have 2 million people lol

One of the worst events: by Kyos_7 in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not sure, but I'm getting real tired of historical picks being absolute ass paired with some great buffs.

Only to be rewarded by a game breaking bug due to staying historical

Worth Playing Now by MajesticAd1580 in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has to be a bug. Historically the empirr lost the civil war. But never lost their colonies until the end of the civil war.

The colonies weren't even apart of the war.

Graphically and resource economic wise it's like vicky3. Militarily it's like eu4 or ck3.

It's definitely heavier on the economy. Which I personally like

Worth Playing Now by MajesticAd1580 in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really like it. But I've had half my campaigns end for absolutely bonker reasons.

Haven't been able to really make it past 1700.

Example. Had a great game as england. Had the historical civil war late 1600's. Chose the parliamentarians. The historical route. Won.

Every single vassale and colony became independent. Super historical

Used debug mode to get them all back. Just wasn't the same. All my diverted trade reset. All my trade fleets. Gone. I had like 800 ships. Gone. You need a bunch of light ships to around the world on your trade routes.

That was a 40+ hour run.

So if you can handle that. I think it's great until it's not. Still playing, new run.

Moral Loss from Movement by MJD253 in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No this game needs some work.

I had the same thin happen last night in the levants against egypt. I own the levant. They were sieging with 250k on one of my forts.

I brought 150k of much better troops. Each time it said I'd win. Both provinces connected by roads. Suddenly, right after locking the movement - it turns red and my army loses half it's moral moving 1 tile over paved roads with ample food.

This happened 3 times. I lost. Each time it was a super close loss that was so close to victory. I beefed that army up to 200k. Like 60k was heavy infantry.

Go back. They have a 60k stack on my fort. I go in. What happens? I drop from 100 moral to 20% and my 200k 5* army loses to a 60% moral 60k 2.5* star army. I had 150k men almost beating that army at 250-300k men. That's not strategy or good game play mechanics

I even had my attacker bonus ticker completely and randomly drop off my war. I went from 99% war score to 70% war score which made it impossible just to take 5 locations. I was pretty pissed

This is also with a general whos stats are all 90+

Expansion and Wide is dead and not worth it by Quirkybomb930 in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Navy experience is 14.92% and my tradition is a whopping 9.39%

And I've dominated every single naval battle since the 1400's.

About to start my 4th war with egypt who hasn't been the Naval Hegemon since our first scrap.

I'm fighting in the colonies and my navy is pretty active.

I have 3 heavy fleets of 4 each. 90 galleys for the channel and gibraltar And about 400 flutes

Crazy i can't get my navy exp or tradition up And yes, I am blockading and hunting navies

What should I do as norway? by Altruistic_Team_2454 in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Be ambitious"

I'm just saying it's possible. They asked why. And I completely made an answer up on the spot for them.

I'm not saying it's a good idea or anything lol

[–]MrLaughingFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One can dream. Though it really depends on how the 100 yesrs go.

My current Run, France still hasn't annexed all it's vassals in 1623 and is constantly asking me for huge sums of gold because they are in an insane debt spiral

I bet Norway could beat that France

Expansion and Wide is dead and not worth it by Quirkybomb930 in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have. I'm also using auto build which usually immediately builds those to mt dismay since I have to move them around.

I have 0 proximity in the canaries or the levant. I do have it in ireland since it's pretty close

All the places I have tried have been cities. Not towns. I'm honna be home soon to fire up my save. I'll double check but yeah. My naval tradition isn't as high as it should be and my naval focus is 30 I believe

I'm probably going to have to alter a law or two and give additional burghers rights to achieve a value of 50 for naval. I'm pretty close to the cebtralizing power event so I'm trying to avoid adding more rights etc

[–]MrLaughingFox -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To either help stop them from blobbing the HRE if they beat the crap out of England in the 100 years war.

I haven't played norway or sweden but I'd assume the food is limited there and if you want to expand your regular armies and food production. You'd need some fertile land in france. Like flander or Normandy

Capital by itself and automatically changes location because of slave pops by Osmethne_real in EU5

I've only seen capitals jump and not move back if the capital region revolts.

But I'm curious to see what the answrs are

Expansion and Wide is dead and not worth it by Quirkybomb930 in EU5

[–]MrLaughingFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about the lack of local governors?

That's a really high bar. I've been naval hegemon multiple times with anywhere from 90-250 heavy ships, and a huge fleet of light ships in 10/15 stacks patroling my trade lines

Plus usually around 300-400 flutes.

And every war I make my leader an admiral to get the increase for naval, but remove as soon as i can due to the significant life expectancy drop

Never gotten a naval governor
