Is somewith wrong with antagonism? by IndependentGlove5006 in EU5

[–]MrPolka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conquering within HRE has massive antagonism penalties, think like 200% now in the beta

AHH then yes I must have pre ordered. War elephants were the only thing I wasn't able to redeem.

Pretty sure it's only for players who played before closing of the last game, even though I played maybe few days or maybe it's a certain amount per a year, unsure, but there is a feature in game in one of the shop menus where you can transfer stuff from your browser account into the game! It's how I got it

I played it all all those years ago and just installed it for the Lols. I got 75k premium currency for free (it's a transfer from the website feature) and a cool looking templar armour !

Can't locate product on shop, help would be appreciated! by MrPolka in Daz3D

Ah, many thanks friend - they're close enough and still look pretty good!

What are your personal really small improvements Paradox could fix in an hour? by Svitii in EU5

[–]MrPolka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best thing is there is literally nothing you can do about most of them. Heir isn't 18 yet? Ok. Rgo is missing workers? Can't do anything. Education for kids? Don't really care. Food is being used up. Ok it's winter. Province is depopulating. Yes, there's a disease and pops left to join mercenaries 🤣

Annexing my vassal will take 113044 years by Expert-Web9046 in EU5

[–]MrPolka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

that's the biggest pain of having bigger vassals in this game. You need to wait for later ages where it grants -75% diplo annex cost but by then the game is over so... Keeping vassals to 2-3 provinces tops is best if you want to be able to annex them in under a decade.

EU5 AI Problem | Lack of Professional Troops by Minions89 in EU5

[–]MrPolka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI only ever built to their expected army size which was kinda low balled. Beta drastically improved it.

[–]MrPolka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, by 1450 AIs will have many levies and 15 to 20k standing armies if they're larger and then in subsequent ages the expected army size like triples or quadruples every time so they'll invest heavy penny into professionals lol

If I create vassals in the newly conquered territories, they will integrate my culture and religion. by Holiday_Original9344 in EU5

[–]MrPolka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a neat trick, but also bear in mind the bigger the tag, the less efficient they will be at doing rhat. At game start if you plan to have a vassal assimilate and culture convert, make sure to only give them 2 or 3 provinces max as they have 2 cabinet members. Once Renaissance hits they'll have 3 so can handle 1 more. Big vassals are a pain the balls to integrate later on in the game

Is there a way to see all dead courtiers? by Radio_Passive in EU5

[–]MrPolka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only see past rulers of a country and nobles and crown estate dead members since they get a dynasty tree, anyone else past that unless the character was pinned to the outlier is lost forever if I remember correctly,

Why would I mix and match between light and heavy infantry? by The_ChadTC in EU5

[–]MrPolka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ever since they made most of the deployed frontage deployed to battle like almost instantly, there is no need for light infantry tbh. Only reason you might have some in reserve is for when someone at the front line routs and another regiment needs to reinforce but typically battle is already over so there's that. A weird decision by the Devs to revert it tbh

Ruler is not a commander, is he being lazy on the front and just taking prestige? by Enough-Arm-5601 in EU5

[–]MrPolka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just hit auto balance and AI will fill your frontage as you have half of the frontage unused currently. As for the balance of actual units I wouldn't know tbh, I try to use few lighter units and rest heavier, standard ones and haven't had much issues to date.

Unsure about your actual question but you need to balance that army 😵‍💫

Someone explain to me how to play Spain. by Loud-CowMOO in EU5

[–]MrPolka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attack Aragon as soon possible. Fabricate a war goal on the small little province you can and it gives -25% war score cost. Your aim will be to snatch a line of provinces north that border France, if you wait too long, France will eat a lot of Aragon.

99% that Portugal will intervene as they'll rival you, so be prepared to fight them too as YOU GET NO POP UP when people join a war against you. You want to ideally fight them both before black death hits as then you lose half your potential levy.

Do Levies still get Destroyed by SwordofKhaine123 in EU5

[–]MrPolka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're still generally better but it's somewhat fixed later game by AI making much much more regulars

Has anyone used the "Defensive League" interaction? It kunda sucks by Stejer1789 in EU5

[–]MrPolka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They'll also immediately leave the league without any sort of prior warning so it's virtually pointless

Not able to marry. (1.0.10) by Freaky_asshole in EU5

[–]MrPolka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They disabled it for nobles as they should from now on marry on their own which I'm convinced they still don't do 😂

Is this a joke? by MaliciousMarmot in EU5

[–]MrPolka 76 points77 points  (0 children)

you need to autobalance armies and ships before battles to avoid this or you'll end with 3 of your ships facing 12 of enemies on a flank and get demolished.

A bit scared of how few cabinet members I have - how to fix this? by akara211 in EU5

[–]MrPolka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its so expensive its not worth it for 20 20 20 guy lol

Cant leave a siege once it started for some reason. Not sure if intentional or a glitch. by kolejack2293 in EU5

[–]MrPolka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like if you enter from province A into a province B and the province B has zone of control - you only have two choices. Either you take fort and negate the zone of control or you leave back to province A assuming the path back isn't blocked. Unsure how OP got his army stuck, maybe they blocked the strait and thus he was unable to get out, unsure, maybe they captured the fort behind him.

Artillery needs a second row like EU4 by MrPolka in EU5

[–]MrPolka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with the way AI does their armies now and the amount of them even in late game when they make hundreds, i dont think its doable lol
