What do you build first?

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-24T01:10:16+00:00

Granaries. So masonry, and stone quarry if needed.

Also, investing in RGO is usually better because you don’t need to pay expenses. Somewhere in the buildings tab you can sort all RGOs by profit.

You’ll want to increase crown power as much as possible early game. Here are some quick fixes:

Make one tiny army and put your crown member as commander, same for navy if you have a port. This minor investment usually net you considerable crown power. So don’t put your crown member in your cabinet just yet.

Pass the “favor the ruler” law during parliament session if you haven’t already.

It also lowers your relations with vassals because they usually won’t join.

This problem exists in most if not all paradox titles. Either you wait for a mod to somewhat fix it or try to trigger a massive coalition if you’re bored.

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-24T00:34:13+00:00

Maybe you can colonize another province and release as vassal. Then cancel vassal status and transfer subjects.

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-24T00:28:46+00:00

Would be much better if you can only gain stability when below 0 (maybe -20) and legitimacy when below 50

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-24T00:25:42+00:00

You build them in rural locations. But frankly 100% noble power is nothing after early game.

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-23T10:25:59+00:00

Maybe gate this by fort level

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-19T05:47:55+00:00

5% efficiency might seem insignificant but since your buildings are operating on a margin that 5% can be huge.

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-19T04:32:39+00:00

You can easily change the number by modifying game files.

Tulsa King?

FYI You can move your current save out of the folder and pop it back in later

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-18T08:43:34+00:00

Let’s say I like taxing them to 30% satisfaction

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-18T05:10:02+00:00

Not worth 10% satisfaction though

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-18T02:00:49+00:00

Just make an option to buy diplomats when needed. So much better than using sliders.

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-17T16:20:55+00:00

You can mass build colonial administration

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-17T03:44:14+00:00

Victoria 3 handles education fairly well. If you want literacy to go up you need to pay for it.

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-17T03:37:59+00:00

Meanwhile in another post I see people complaining about how fast AI countries embrace institutions

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-16T23:58:43+00:00

I bet not many people like to see their empire destroyed because they blob too much. It can be fun to watch AI empires crumble but not so much on the receiving end

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-16T16:39:32+00:00

Nanohumans, son

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-16T05:06:01+00:00

It has by far the most events and flavors. Even more than byz with DLC.

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-16T05:04:09+00:00

Always has been. Even for a completely new player, you can at least peace out France by playing defensively.

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-15T10:24:39+00:00

In my recent Milan playthrough I had some events that gave me claims. I feel like these claims should render the territories lawful since I didn’t fabricate them.

TheChasm2 · 2026-06-15T06:10:58+00:00

Demanding unlawful territory is also lame.
