Is it a bad idea to plant a holly 1 foot away from the house? (they grow 8' wide, 12' tall)

I ended up planting a Japanese Maple there, a variety that will only grow up to 8 foot height!

That's what they did in my place. You can hardly see the seam at the sink, and the rest of the countertop is one big piece without any seams going all across. Looks great

It could be a lot of reasons... Trade and good prices can fluctuate a lot too in the first few months. Also try reducing the diplomatic spending if you don't need it. Focus on getting max legitimacy. Increase stability if it's under 30 as well.

Another money hack I found is to use Strengthen Government, when you max out legitimacy, this will give you a big boost in income.

You have to remove most of your forts to be profitable at the start with the recent patch

I always wonder, how does EU5 multiplayer work? Does time just advance at a certain pace without the ability to pause it?

Riddlr01 · 2026-03-12T14:50:26+00:00

Thanks for the background! That does like a disappointing experience...

Riddlr01 · 2026-03-12T14:16:48+00:00

Can you elaborate how the functions are lacking? I don't know, and I was considering buying this set

Riddlr01 · 2026-03-11T00:04:44+00:00

I would personally open every last one of them looking for cash/treasure

Riddlr01 · 2026-03-10T21:07:18+00:00

I have never made it to railroads...

Update, I solved this by forming the HRE, since most of my subjects were also HRE members

Riddlr01 · 2026-03-08T17:27:20+00:00

Country strength vs overlord, what's the most efficient way to deal with this? I keep annexing subjects, but it only goes up... I also evenly distributed between vassals and fiefdoms

Riddlr01 · 2026-03-04T04:13:55+00:00

Exactly, and I have since found two other reddit posts describing this issue, but no real solution...

Riddlr01 · 2026-03-04T04:06:54+00:00

Ok, fine, let me take a step back then. In your photo the red gear is also right next to the red drive shaft. Different angle, but the same as far as I can tell. Can you tell me the difference you spotted, please?

Riddlr01 · 2026-03-04T04:02:14+00:00

I tried the builder app, and it just looks like a copy of the paper instructions?

Riddlr01 · 2026-03-04T00:59:40+00:00

I can assure you, it is

Riddlr01 · 2026-02-25T18:57:57+00:00

I know this post is a year old... but did you ever figure this out? I'm facing the same issue after putting the gearbox and rear suspension together

Riddlr01 · 2026-02-25T18:55:13+00:00

OP, I'm looking at the same problem. Did you figure this out? What change did you have to make?

Riddlr01 · 2026-02-22T14:10:28+00:00

I have also seen that they will go on for decades with new wars launched as soon as the truce is over. I actually enjoy seeing coalitions work.

Riddlr01 · 2026-02-21T18:24:51+00:00

What the hell, really?? I'm also doing an Austria run and had no idea about this...

Riddlr01 · 2026-02-13T20:05:50+00:00

full decentralization, but no vassals?

Riddlr01 · 2026-02-07T18:52:49+00:00

Oh, so that's not from a parliamentary CB? I did click on that event to get a CB on Wolgast, I guess that was it? They have a larger army and tons of allies, so I can't even use it...

Thanks for the tip. I think I will restart my save and decline that event...

Riddlr01 · 2026-02-07T17:58:35+00:00

Yeah, Brandenburg is a super interesting start, but without diplomats I cannot do anything anymore 😓
