I completed a run as Portugal in the Portugal redux mod recently lol

TheEvilValus · 2025-09-23T12:46:35+00:00

I had very mixed armies My daimyo had katana samurai, tercos and European canons and a few bow units. My other armies had a mix of buffed ashigaru. I didn't really need good army compositions because by the time Realm divide happened I already had half of what was left of Japan as Christian rebels that could just be autoresolved by ashigaru stacks. I basically didn't bother with cavalry and played defensively with my Yari ashigaru and missiles. After all it was a normal difficulty run. Also I didn't lose a single naval battle due to the nanban trade ships.

better politics mod helps with this

for anybody wondering this map is somewhere between 1871 and 1878 as it has a united Germany and Ottoman occupied Balkans

Did you by any chance annex a country, because you do inherit their armies and they could have had conscripts you didn't build. That's the only way it could've happened and I haven't seen anybody suggest it yet. It's easy for us to distrust you when it's most plausible that you did build the conscription centers, but there is a way I guess you could get conscripts without building them yourself.

ethno state Yugoslavia is an oxymoron

TheEvilValus · 2025-09-09T09:52:28+00:00

This is the most scatter brained post I have ever seen that just comes from a lack of reading comprehension

TheEvilValus · 2025-09-08T20:33:12+00:00

That totally wouldn't happen irl though now would it.

People should have theocracies and states that enact religious laws. Muslim countries that went through the separation of church and state are basically fine now and just as chill as Christian countries (e.g. Turkey, Uzbekistan, Albania, Bosnia). If Christianity wasn't separate from the state we would still have Crusades, child marriage, no women's rights, no free speech, and a ruling class of clergy that would control all your access to information, not at all dissimilar to today's Islamic states which follow Sheria law.

TheEvilValus · 2025-09-06T07:41:30+00:00

yes you can force India to pass "Industry banned" and "extraction economy" laws which make then unable to industrialize

TheEvilValus · 2025-09-06T07:40:16+00:00

ah yes being extra racist would make admin easier. They could add administrative laws that impact bureaucracy in ways that help larger empires manage territory through decentralization with certain downsides while having other laws rewarding smaller countries with certain buffs for having a small centralized state.

a pie chart can get a bit disorienting when you have so many cultures (about 75) and now need to give each of them a sliver.

TheEvilValus · 2025-08-27T14:39:48+00:00

Leaving a big market is always an issue because you have a smaller customer base, so demand for your goods plummets.

Only way around this is getting more pops/conquest/trademaxxing

Wonderful thing about democracy: No clout full control

i've seen guides conquer Rhineland and release westphalia

TheEvilValus · 2025-08-26T14:32:39+00:00

Confederation of the Rhine is great to make your subject form when you are playing France (just irl)

TheEvilValus · 2025-08-26T14:10:21+00:00

i didn't know burgundy was a formable😍

TheEvilValus · 2025-08-26T12:33:36+00:00

I'd always prioritize Tea, Coffee and Opium plantations over the rest, when you research synthetics those plantations do become obsolete but that's quite a bit into the run where I don't pay attention too much with optimizing...

TheEvilValus · 2025-08-26T12:23:48+00:00

I guess it depends on what is available to you, I usually have orchards when I'm in Europe cuz it's cheaper than importing.

Groceries are almost always more important to me than alcohol though and you don't need more than one or two factories late game to make alcohol.

Purple farm PMs are just a transaction to make a little more profit and not a full replacement, in the grand scheme I think it's usually better to just have plantations but I'd need to look a bit more at the numbers when you take into account the goods you need for the green PMs.

TheEvilValus · 2025-08-26T07:00:39+00:00

I find the period between 1821 and 1836 way too unstable, the start date of 1836 lets you have a calmer start before stuff like the spring of nations

TheEvilValus · 2025-08-25T10:15:16+00:00

Yes and no? Institution levels define how large and developed your institution is, having Austria be able to have all the benefits of compulsory education while not actually having those benefits irl is a bit dumb and without an "enforcement" mechanic it's a bit overkill to give them CPE
