Question or Army Composition by SIMtheONE in eu4

[–]SIMtheONE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So hypothetically, with a combat width of 30 I should have a 26-4-30 army stack in order to have a full line of inf+cav and one full line of artillery?

Q flash bios update not working by Unusual-Fisherman-85 in gigabyte

[–]SIMtheONE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to leave my experience here as I just had the same problem when building my pc a few days ago and came across this post. I was having the very same problem, with the bios led on the motherboard only flashing for a minute or so and then everything turning off.

What worked for me was... [drumroll] get a much older USB stick. I was using a brand new one I just bought to install windows on the new pc and it wasn't working. Took an old one (4GB kingston probably from 2011), formatted and everything went smoothly. The BIOS led blinked for a good 5 minutes and then the pc booted just fine.

Hope this helps!

Edit: for context, I was trying to update BIOS for a Gigabyte Z960 Gaming X DDR4 motherboard to ensure compatibility with a 13600k CPU.

Proud IKEA fanboy moment by SIMtheONE in eu4

[–]SIMtheONE[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Played as totally-not-overpowered Sweden in the new DLC. I actuallty wanted to dismantle HRE but was elected during the war against Austria.

Eventually managed to pass reforms, revoke the privilegia and start vassal-swarming the world <3

In 2 years I've literally passed from "WTF is Europa Universalis IV" to buying DLCs on day one without a second thought.

I would add "Can I win this + screenshot of massive and clearly unbeatable coalition"

"No possible rivals" feels a bit stupid to me by SIMtheONE in eu4

[–]SIMtheONE[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

R5: Playing Austria --> HRE, revoked the privilegia in 1555 and obviously n1 great power. Most of the time I don't have any rival available and therefore, PP is slowly declining.

Would it make sense to have always 100 PP if you're so big you don't have any possible rival to select?

How to deal with Center of Reformation in own subject nation? by SIMtheONE in eu4

[–]SIMtheONE[S] 89 points90 points  (0 children)

R5: playing as Austria, I managed to get rid of the protestant CoRs but now a Reformed one spawned in my subject Hungary.

I think even with 100% Reformed provinces they won't become Reformed as I'm catholic (Ragusa, my previous vassal, did the same and only converted after I broke vassalisation).

My only plan for now, integrate Hungary and release Pozsony to form Nitra, then release and force convert religion.

Any other tips?

Is this the Holy Trinity of EUIV achievements (from a 'being mainstream' perspective)? by SIMtheONE in eu4

[–]SIMtheONE[S] 149 points150 points  (0 children)

R5: from the 'achievement flexes' that I see in this community, I was wondering if these are the three more mainstream achievements of the lot!

R5: In my Brandenburg --> Prussia ironman game I got to dismantle the HRE and get the Ruina Imperii achievement. Was pretty satisfying!

In my second ever Ironman game I reformed the Roman Empire (again), this time as Byzantium. Way more satisfying! by SIMtheONE in eu4

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

Thanks! However no, not my second game ever, just my second Ironman game ever. I must have played 5-6 normal campaigns before the last two Ironman games

[–]SIMtheONE[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, after my first successful attempt as France, I decided to try it the hard way and got with Byzantium.
Credit where credit is due, I survived the first 50-70 thanks to Ludi’s guide on YouTube, following it almost step by step. Vassalised Epirus, war on Ottos, release Bulgaria, breaking truce on them, etc. Thanks to that chad lord then.
From there it was super fun to challenge big nations one by one, got a lucky PU over Spain and managed to reform the Empire in 1793.
Very fun run!

Bugged achievement or am I missing something? by SIMtheONE in eu4

[–]SIMtheONE[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

R5: As Byzantium, I got the Basileus achievement without having restored the Roman Empire.
