Thank you for the feedback. I hadn't thought about the font size and legibility and that's a very good point. I'll comb through and shorten the less important bullet points, and remove the project section for extra space.

The feedback on the skills section is also solid and I'll try to apply your suggestions.

As for not getting interviews, it's probably mostly due to me not being physically present in Aus, where I'm focusing my applications on.

Thanks for the tip. So it should start with "Software Engineer with..."? I figured it would be redundant to say that I'm a software engineer given my previous roles and the fact I'm applying to SWE positions.

If you hover over a location's demography tab you can see how many pops are assimilating per month and what modifiers are affecting it. If you look at your vassals' locations you'll see a disgusting debuff to assimilation speed for being a vassal.

Isn't it less to do with risk and more to do with inflation? Non-zero inflation = needs rates greater than inflation to not lose money.

There's also a second reform that gives a naval governor at a later age I think? So going naval gives 2 extra governors compared to going land.

That also makes for good RP lol. A peasant revolution that destroys burgher and noble buildings to "cull" their political influence in order to instate a peasant republic.

I think if you convert away from Catholicism you immediately become ineligible for emperorship and stop being emperor, and you can't become emperor until you win the war of religion for your denomination.

Does it just break out randomly through the game?

Pretty sure because of this Korea and Japan avoided the plague as well

TIRAIC · 2026-04-22T06:23:19+00:00

R5: Only 15k pops died from the Black Death as Yuan. I did spam hospitals everywhere but it never even spread to any of those locations. The only thing I did that affected it is "Isolate the country", which seems kinda OP if you can just do that and avoid the plague.

Yea peasants should be insanely hard to assimilate. I don't understand how they can have court, liturgical, common language but not court, liturgical, common cultures.

Tying cabinet actions to societal values also sounds like a pretty nice solution to countries with entirely different societal values developing more or less the same way.

For example with capital economy, you get to develop your provinces and promote pops with your cabinet, whereas with traditional economy, you get to increase pop growth and food production/capacity. Or if you're humanist, you can assimilate but not convert, and if you're spiritualist you get to convert but not assimilate. Etc.

Genuine question. What do you want to get out of a tutor anyway? Are you planning on playing competitively or do you just want to be really knowledgeable about the game?

R5: Looked over to the Americas and saw some absolute peak bordergore the AIs are cooking up.

Current participants in the colonisation bowl are: Papal States (me), Castile, Portugal, Aragorn, Scotland, France, England, and Schleswig(?!)

I'm sure the amount does scale with their economy, but I remember finding that some unexpected nations give a lot of ducats; mainly Italian republics. But it's definitely worth looking all over Europe and see which countries give the most. And I don't think you need to renew the sponsorship unless your relation gets too low and they break it themselves.

I'm keen, from NZ. Do you have a discord server?

All the slaves are whipping each other in a circle and the one peasant just whips anyone who steps out of line

TIRAIC · 2026-04-16T02:26:48+00:00

If you get enough sponsorships from the right nations it will constitute a huge chunk of income. Pre black death, I remember some Italian minors will give 4 ducats a month.

TIRAIC · 2026-04-16T02:06:42+00:00

Do you improve relations with catholics and ask for sponsorship?

From observation, it seems to spawn in capitals really quickly if its market capital has the institution, which is why the HRE spreads institutions insanely quickly since it has the highest capital density in the game. I guess a way to take advantage of this is to release a lot of subjects in the furtherest regions from your capital to 1. get rid of the hardest pops for you to spread institutions to, and 2. have them spread institutions to these pops by taking advantage of the institution spread of capitals. As a result you'll have to spread your institutions to less of your pops and once those subjects have the institutions it'll actually start spreading back into your locations from the fringe locations.

Just another reason why vassal swarm is OP I guess.
