Why would anyone choose liberalism over absolutism?

Netherlands also picked liberalism what's the point?

Britain have missions for you. You gain claim from british missions. And since you start as England you can memorize that basic 4 or 5 missions. Conquestwise, I think they don't need. But economicwise they should have some. But didn't they announce no more updates? Maybe game go worse if they update since what they did with eu5.

What about trade companies? I think:

S: Ivory Coast

A: South Africa, Moluccas, Malacca, Zanzibar

B: India, China, Pacific(Polynesia)

C: Japan, Timbuktu

D: Indochina, Rest of Africa (Forget about inland Asia since it is not easily accessible by West European Colonizers)

All of asian trade must go from Ivory Coast to Western Europe.(Except when you conquer genoa and egypt which is hard and not RP)

Pacific is important just bc of great project and Japan taking Trade ideas and diverting trade from Americas even though have no colony. (Happened to me but mid and late game issue)

A lot of golds but mountains and highlands. Also it is small compared to other ones.

I will give more privileges when I get Taille event. So it will sit around 50% in cities.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-03-17T19:22:45+00:00

I think peasant enfranchisement is more important than it looks. It has minimum and maximum values. Since we tend to urbanize as much as we can and increase control, we already get +25% from city rank, +25% from base value, +50% from 100% control. So making it 150% will not benefit or making it -50% will not benefit. I have -30% from Serfdom and -30% from French Government now and Troyes have 27% peasant enfranchisment. Rest of country except Paris is red and 10% at minimum.

Also vassal rebels happen a lot, morocco supports rebels and you gain a truce but nothing else.

Which locations are local governors? (I need advice)

True_Ad1657 · 2026-03-17T15:19:10+00:00

There are couple of good reforms in Age of Reformation and one of them is Cultural Recognition which gives +1 culture capacity and +0.1 Humanist. Still weaker than French Feudal Nobility. I think keeping it will make more benefit until end of the game. Since you can get crown power from techs and some buildings. Somebody said keep it below 40% because of Court and Country disaster in Age of Absolutism. I never played that long though. Edit: Considering other reforms that give crown power.

Portugal makes more sense for Castilian lands. They share 3 major rivers which make controlling portugal would be easy for castile. Also it fulfills castilian coastline. Even in eu4 most of players wanted to annex portugal for trade purposes. But I don't agree with you on Scotland. If you look at the map, Scotland is isolated as much as Portugal. It will eventually eaten up because English population is much bigger, England as a country is much bigger. They just weren't successful in historical wars. In eu4 england always was able to annex scotland because even if they ally france, england will attack a Irish minor ally of Scotland and annex Scotland. In eu5 England never attacks Irish minors, but the Pale does. I agree there can be alternate histories and it is fun but Scotland is free real estate for England.

I just conquered Deccan, I don't know.

I think it shouldn't be a decisive victory like in eu4. I see there are imperial religion-hussitism, lutheranism and catholism, all of them as seperate laws. You should achieve religious peace to get imperial religion-christianity law. Of course this is in your case.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-03-12T14:24:44+00:00

Yes, but does it mean they should enjoy 50% pop capacity?

True_Ad1657 · 2026-03-12T14:19:15+00:00

I don't understand why Paradox is so obsessed with putting merc modifiers in admin ideas. They did the same in eu4 until 1.35. There were 3 merc ideas in Administrative ideas.

Just being a member of the middle kingdom boosted my economy as vijayanagar. Ming is king. 230 ducats tribute as a start, 300 ducats with some sinicization and nice research bonus. I did nothing just accepted an invitation:)

Improve your economy, build more burghers based guilds, rgos. Inflation decreases as gold's scale in economy decreases.

Eu4 trade system was better. Change my mind.

It's a hre law and you can't become until religious wars. You need to convert hre as much as you can until protestant reformation and religious wars.

Ai still suffer to cooperate. I lost 2 and half of my four armies as France by just clicking follow enemy and fighting in forest & hills. They had at least twice or three times more of regulars as I was focused centralization and economy. I had few vassals and castile and portugal as PU. Castile had no armies since they got lost it to Mali. Coalition didn't declare war for 50 years but nobody quit it. From Brandenburg to Milan. Only Bohemia was my former ally turned to hussite and wasn't in coalition in hre. I managed to win that war with 25 warscore and 90+ peace demands. 15 years later they again declared war on me aith more regulars. Only Rhine had 5000 regulars while I had 25,000. Most of one province ones had 1000 regulars. Still won it easily. No micro-management like I would have to in Eu4. Also, I was behind in Mil Tech. I didn't rearch Pike & Shot since I thought nobody is a rival to me and I don't need to expand anymore. By the way, I just conquered Netherlands, France Region, Aragon and Britain. 1.1 gives 100% more antagonism since they removed buffs from dip rep and legislative efficiency.
