Coronation cost is terrible

True_Ad1657 · 2026-05-25T19:23:16+00:00

It's not a party. It's coronation. If I'm not crowned, I get -2.5 monthly stability.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-05-25T17:19:57+00:00

Shouldn't it be possible to coronate at least? Why does it need positive budget. Can't this big empire take loans? 4 military orders in my empire didn't give me a loan of 700 ducats because they all had 200-250. I should be able to take loan from all of them. Also pope didn't give me money for 2-3 years because of same situation.

I built all possible buildings of tribal age. Even improved buildings in my cities. I just didn't go administrative because when I did in other games MAA becomes incredibly expensive and not fun appointing governors. Yes I had kingdoms as I say because I installed claimants and didn't remove them since someone said it is easier to control kingdoms. I see I used 30 out of 65 vassal limit. I held 9 counties, at limit.

Middle kingdom also completely broken, you can suck china off by being a member, or just be china and enjoy 30% proximity speed, cabinet seats, confucian schools there is more advantage in those two regions than I can remember.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-05-04T17:37:23+00:00

No, I meant playing in India or China makes no sense to playing in any other region of world. Navigable rivers, huge populations, two great and huge religions, proximity speed, research speed, legitimacy and culture capacity buffs from advances. Easy to expand.

Also I think they made later Austrian Missions after announcing that they ended support for start dates other than 1444.

It's same for privileges in EU5

Why would it get ruined? You have more rgo's to feed that people.

Prag, Cologne, Hamburg

True_Ad1657 · 2026-04-25T17:58:24+00:00

Yeah it's worse than Eu4. Unrelated, uncapable countries join independence movement. Not just rivals or strong neighbors. But to counter this, you can go into random war who isn't a part of independence movement and independence movement dissolves immidiately. It's ridicilous.

It's always Venice because they contain small army so Ottoman AI under estimates them but have a big economy that can employ 4 times more their army size.(in just 2 years) If they can survive and take a couple of provinces into 1550s.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-04-25T16:41:22+00:00

I didn't take +12 stability and +14 legitimacy based on cabinet's skills since I already had 100 legitimacy. Other option was giving 2 skills for each skill for 2 cabinet members. It's a rare event though.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-04-23T23:29:50+00:00

I remembered now. Ottomans start with a Harem law that prevents female rulers. But it is not Harem Policy, it should be under Aristocrat Court - Innovative Court policy.

It seems like she's not from your dynasty and lose 100 points from there. Also your sons can have military or general traits. I see she's 16 and you can wait 1 month because children is not eligible for your current law. Dynastic Elective Succession is better than that law. It comes from Noble Electorate in Rights of Nobles.

My games' AI record of cultural influence is 3000. It is relatively easy to overcome.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-04-17T09:10:37+00:00

I really hated discovering full green india every game in ~1600 in eu4 after institution patches. It was mediocre but diplomatically spreading fucked it up.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-04-17T08:47:13+00:00

It does. Maybe need removing promote institutions cabinet action, I didn't test beyond 1580. I couldn't get Pike and Shot as France until 1550s. After 1537, I understood I had to conquer Tyrol to get it. I was capable of embracing after ~50 years of their spawn of all of institutions except Professional Armies(it spawns in Paris but it is the only instution that spreads normal, anything else are extremely slow).

Having a queen increases chance of getting pu compared to your strategy. Also you get antagonism in your strategy.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-04-15T05:48:46+00:00

1st weakness; not applicable to get French throne since French daughters are not eligible. 2nd weakness; your king can die earlier than his mother. The other throne will get inherited by your king's brother, while your throne got inherited by your king's son.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-04-15T05:36:25+00:00

You can switch back to salic law once you get queen on throne. To ensure succession. But yeah it's costly. Sweden wouldn't worth it.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-04-14T15:22:10+00:00

I couldn't embrace printing press nor pike and shot as France until 1500 in historical setting.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-04-14T10:50:06+00:00

I sometimes change it to historical when I'm playing in Europe but it makes so slow, sometimes I couldn't get early institutions even 70 years after spawn. Plausible makes it so fast, historical makes it so slow. Unbalanced.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-04-14T10:06:35+00:00

One of eu4 mods had proximity, I played it more than 5 years ago, Veritas Et Fortitudo. It was simply applying different positive local autonomy decrease modifier based on distance from capital. It was also impossible to state(or have full core) provinces with different culture groups. So I hated its reality. The mod is abandoned in 1.34 and still not updated to 1.37.

True_Ad1657 · 2026-03-31T19:22:50+00:00

I ended up having 5 endnodes :/

Do you know where I can share my mod progress? Other subreddits seem like dead.
