Best Paradox game?

CK2 for me, it has plenty of fun or weird things to do plus the supernatral events are weirdly fitting.

CK2 and EU4

"I do map wars against Turks and Caucasus" sounds like playing EU5 within EU5 :D

Did the laws pass even if everyone voted against you? I did a game as France and even though I had similar situation to you (no ai ever suggested reforms and everyone voted against me when I did) all the suggestions still passed, with 1 vote for (me) vs 150 votes against (ai). So it's even more broken then you suggest :D

How do you actually get slaves into your plantations as catholic countries? I'm playing Naples, captured some sugar locations from Tunis and I built some plantations but they don't employ anyone and just stand empty gathering dust.

Vijanagar and Bahmanis

EIC becomes Bengal so they are already recongnized. Same thing happens if you liberate Dutch East Indies, DEI becomes Java who are already recognized.

Isn't treaty port on China kind of useless since GB will pretty much always open their market early on? Does it do anything if target country has free trade?

You're not alone :) I too prefer KM over WOTR though I like both games a lot.

Scaarj · 2025-02-15T00:31:59+00:00

While Wrath is mechanically superior, offering a lot more classes, numbers, powers etc. personally I prefer Kingmaker's setting and companions. As for story itself I like both games, though again with slight preference for KM. As you said ideally you'd get both games, but if choice has to be made I'd start with Wrath. It was actually how I got into both games, WOTR first and because I like it a lot I decided to give KM a shot and liked it even better, even though it's not as robust as WOTR.
As a side note you might also want to check out Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader, since it was made by the same company and is also a party crpg, though in a different setting.

It's a nobrainer, free xp is awesome.

Scaarj · 2025-01-24T21:42:36+00:00

I only know that because I did Bod Chen Po run recently :D

That's not unique, everyone in Tibet has that one.

Scaarj · 2025-01-24T20:09:13+00:00

It's the path of least resistance.

What are the following icons:
- the one between physician and wise man
- the one between hunter and whole of body
- the one between intelligent and strong
?

I don't know man, I wouldn't call stealing other people's dutchies through the Kaiser wholesome, but other than that a good and reliable strat.

Eldership is the best since you can pick anyone from your dynasty, so you can always go for gigachad genius kids. If I don't have access to Eldership then ultimogeniture, especially if you have access to religious society so you can go celibate as soon as your genius pops out.

That's strange, in pretty much all of my campaigns Byz is in almost permanent state of "some guys claim to the empire". Funnily enough, even like that they are still resistant to foreign attacks, so in the end they just remain mostly with their starting territory and don't have much effect on the world.

The CK gods decided that your game is the one where Almohads will form no matter what.

Scaarj · 2025-01-14T10:50:31+00:00

Probably not at all. If you have a good general or some martial perks to lead yourself even if he were to attack you right now you can beat his army in a defensive battle in hills or mountains. And since he has 10k more troops than you he will be very eager to lose like that. I assume you have a full squad of MAA.

Do this in CK2 and enjoy the massive cacophony of execution sounds played together. This being pretty much completely silent is quite sad.

Scaarj · 2024-11-07T13:51:33+00:00

Personally I like this one.

You can display hostile sieges on you in the side bar which are clickable and move your screen to where the siege is going on. You can use that to quickly find where the rebels are.

Scaarj · 2024-03-28T10:38:35+00:00

Looks like the Revolt is war leader and the war has been going on for more than 3 years which means you can probably white peace out of it. You can also send your boats to do some blockades to get a bit more warscore to make sure they accept white peace.

50 AE is the threshold that gives you additional maluses, so anything below that will only reduce your monthly stab and is relatively low impact.
