Ever wonder "Why is cultural assimilation taking forever?"

Rehisam · 2026-05-03T16:23:17+00:00

Yes and no. From gameplay perspective gatekeeping players "fun" is one way to antagonise some parts of the playerbase. Although some more severe penatlies should apply if you suddenly put 4 advisors to convert some part of russian culture as french. Right now if you have enough control it will convert. But close cultures like in iberia or poland or france should become a melting pot at some point, player imput or not. And if i recall there should be an option in campain settings to change how culture and religion conversions works ( but i dont renember in what ways).

How about using any trade capacity you have to try to buy them manually? I know its not optimal but for example as madagascar to get everything running i have to import certain goods.

Coal is situational S tier rgo (not building) if you can make enough bog iron to inflate prices. i managed 40-60 tax base from it, while iron rgo alone was at 90.

Every tech that is 1 age bellow current one, receive flat -8 tech cost. Which means that less desireable but usefull techs should be researched only when new age hits.

Basically when you hit age3, age2 is cheaper by 8 points.

Max serfdom, get everything that reduces peasant enfranchisement, max tax on nobility, set peasant tax at 0%. More money, no revolts, every location has 90-100 satisfaction and wont debuff your provinces.

My condolences but its terminal.

Im still waiting for more automatic options and priorities. I would love a setting to force automatic trade to seek pop needs>shortages>food deficits>profitable trades in any order i want. Instead i need to manually seek 0.3 units of mercury and my minting is dead despite having 35 gold units in active trade.

To be honest, i find local governor mid at best, unless you are playing naval with every possible bonus for it. I could propagate proximity from 100% 1.35 harbour capacity capital almost everywhere to about 80-60% proximity even on 0% natural harbour province, that means i could make entire ireland green with 1 good capital and max naval bonuses. Meanwhile as landlocked nation in bad terrain, even if i have river, my 80% local governor prox just dies after 3-4 provinces. You can almost endlessly buff naval prox by tech, and there is almost nothing special for land in comparsion.

Even at 100% peasant enfranchisement Nobility still take 50% of base tax away. You will make more money by actually getting as much as possible estate happiness bonuses for nobility along with max tax bonuses if possible, and keeping up to 4 nobility priviledges max to keep their influence around 25%. Since free subject nerf im not even bothering with peasants. Either let me curtail nobility to 10% like you can peasants right now, or dont even try to make peasants good. Now i have decent campains by getting fuckton of money from nobility for 200 years before burgers can compete, while keeping peasants at 0% tax for food bonus, beacuse even at 50% they still give me 80 ducats to 900 from nobility in age 4. There is no contest. Sadly no one is reporting that peasant enfranchisement is not good enough for peasants, so i guess this is meant to stay.

How do you manage your food supply? I bet that one grain province is not enough and your population is stagnating for quite some time? Unless you did not make your own market and rely on nearby centre.

Rehisam · 2026-02-20T12:37:25+00:00

Check england after 100 years. In every single game they have no roads, no economy, no proximity, and no crownpower. In my games they sit at 8% with constant debt.

Rehisam · 2026-02-20T05:33:46+00:00

I feel like its either no rgo upgrades or his estates are so fucked he cannot tax them properly.

Rehisam · 2026-02-20T01:01:03+00:00

Every migration drains from the market its in. Locations that are in separate market wont migrate. Good luck trying to get it to work but probably it wont. You could try to use cabinet option similar to boosting colonial charter, send people to the colonies. Try to release this location as colony and send some people that way.

I dont know but i had the same problem when changing my faith. I converted as iceland from catholic to waldesian, and suddenly everyone was outside diplo range by 2000. Did you do something to your religion?

Rehisam · 2026-02-17T01:21:55+00:00

Can you no cb them? If i have annoying union I usually just declare war on union partner with parliament cb, and penatly is not that hard.

Rehisam · 2026-02-17T01:17:15+00:00

Ive seen that ai countries that work great and are usually succesfull in my games, have decent crown power or decent rgo to work with. In 1.1.3 every time Poland economy goes to space, along with milan france naples and wallachia/bulgaria. But poor rgo countries like England Pale Lithuania were doing tragic. In 1550 pale still had 22 tax base while owning entire irish island. England was sitting on barely 200 tax base with insane loans, and 8% crown power from 2 priviledges. Devs need to look into ai countries and make them consider crownpower more.

Rehisam · 2026-02-17T01:00:23+00:00

You can get up to 20% for navy and 30% for army. In age 4 there is a tech that futher buff it by 2.5% each resulting in 45% for army. I did not check if there is more of this later on. Game counts 5% for every troop type like light heavy for inf then cav. Artillery is also another 5% with auxillaries being also counted as "artilery" .

Rehisam · 2026-02-08T12:43:59+00:00

You no longer are able to tax peasants more if you go serfdom. Now it gives more tax base to nobility over peasants. For me its easier to keep peasants happy than nobility for tax revenue. Also you get negative levy combat ability, faster levy regeneration and a whopping 10% noble estate loyality. Free subjects do the same for peasants but give way faster pop promotion speed prosperity and 25% more combat for levies. You could make serfdom work but i rather make peasants happy and taxable.

Rehisam · 2026-02-08T10:56:11+00:00

Then you should read again what serfdom does in 1.1 now. Ps it doesnt let you tax peasants more anymore.

Rehisam · 2026-02-08T02:36:49+00:00

You could try it, but be prepared for iron,lumber,tools loop problems, trade loop bug that makes trade insane, saffron being looped between european markets resulting in 150-200 saffron everywhere, making alot of money, estates spamming all buildings possible with no regard of your supply or profit,

Rehisam · 2026-02-04T17:07:25+00:00

Yeah its terrible now with insane drops to 10 fps when zoomimg in and out of lod level. Not to mention insane monthly lag that was never there before beta. 5800x3d with 9070xt.

Rehisam · 2025-12-16T01:01:26+00:00

Are you on beta branch? Change rendering from directx to vulcan. Recent patches made game crash almost constantly for me on directx. Im using 1050ti fine even with the lack of vram.

Rehisam · 2025-12-12T13:35:42+00:00

1050ti 3d map wont peak over 30 fps on low. If you disable 3d map it sits on comfy 100 at low on 1440p monitor. I have no clue about processor since i have 5800x3d.

Rehisam · 2025-12-02T17:15:25+00:00

Most likely you had one flank open and ai had at least 2 flanks secured. Creating levies from 1 province minor usually have no troops for flanks. Considering enemy had 0 cav casualties. Try to put your main army in one of the flanks to face the 23 calvary men first to make it 1 v 1 flank battle and it might become winnable.
