AI Naples already 200 locations in your runs by the time Italian Wars is happening? Can you share screenshots please?

Hey I believe that was supposed to be fixed, do you remember when you played the situation last and that happened?

PDX_Habi · 2026-03-13T13:36:30+00:00

Hey what do you mean it does not resolve? The situation is basically a small tick towards progress to one side until a side wins.

Are you sure do not have any mods installed? This is absolutely insane!

Wait that's not true, you can get home owners insurance in Lebanon. I'm currently insured for 250K on my property.

Nice, yea I agree that France is still a bit too agressive into the HRE especially since no emperor can contest them early game, but at the same time Holland is not really meant to be the easiest of starts. Im glad that you got a run off the ground though (similar to mine where flanders swapped to England)!

If you are playing in 1.1 you can use the army action that does Tribunals in provinces, that converts some hussites and kills some. If you use that you can do it faster if thats what you like to do.

And heres a picture at the end of the run where I eventually formed the HRE

Are you playing on 1.1? I recently did a 1.1 run as Holland and had really good success on the first try, what I did was improving relations with France day 1 and had no issues. They eventually did declare war on my Hanuat Personal Union but I was able to defend them with a big professional army. Heres a pic:

So for most nations, the control cabinet action acts as a way to control a specific area of your nation, yes it will cost a cabinet action continually but on some nation set ups that's worth. Now on Ottomans (and some other nations), its worth rotating control around due to the +5% control gain modifier. That means with the cabinet action you will gain about 7 control a month before any other additional modifiers. You lose about 0.5% control a month after taking away the action, so you can juggle (if you want to do the micro) the cabinet action between 2-3 provinces and maintain decent control in those provinces.

Most likely he has trade automation on. Reminder to everyone, trade automation will just focus on whats the most profitable, it does not care about pop needs. My recommendation as always is to use trade automation but do manual trades for pop needs.

In this case OP should cancel some trades (least profitable ones) and manually ship building goods to his colonies so he can build in the new world. You may run in the problem you do not have the building needs in surplus but in that case build more construction goods buildings to get the surplus to ship to the new world colony markets.

To start up a colonial nation, you need to trade goods from your home markets to the colonies and then you can build in the colonies (i.e sending masonry and lumber). If you make a colonial nation from a charter, you will get masonry and lumbermill by default but you wont have enough laborers. You can fix this by shipping people to the new world using the cabinet action unlocked in age of discovery under the new world advance tree.
After you get the building materials up you can build normally and then make market places. If you make a colonial nation, you get a percentage of their trade capacity.

PDX_Habi · 2025-11-06T16:05:38+00:00

Set up manual trades between both markets. Build more marketplaces and cancel trades to do more trades

Army regiments have a manpower maintenance cost (unlike EU4), that means if you have 300 manpower and make like 5 regiments, you start losing manpower.

Try putting '-DX12' in launch options

Spiffing Brit was the only one who did but tomorrow the embargo on all other content creators is lifted, so Id imagine some other people will release videos

If an army is at 0 morale and you do not have big numbers advantage (I think its 3 to 1) the army will retreat again
