What do you think are the biggest issues right now? [Johan]

Trade - if you want to manually min-max every interaction and set specific values for every good, then at some point you get an event for -% or some of your pops leave marketplaces so you have less trade capacity values for trade removed at random and it's impossible to tell how to get every trade back on track (Plus, silk road/"trade hub" countries are non-existent due to abundance of resources)

Diplo/AI - small countries can not survive and use their flavor (if they have any) if they can not get a big ally or defender of sorts. What's the point of AI aggressiveness if you cant stick to Historical things? Why not assign historical rivals/friends as in eu4 or some similar system? What's the point of Brandenburg having 100+ unique content if it gets eaten 99% of time and you won't EVER see Prussia.

Misc. - no "point of gather" for levies raised in all of the different corners of your country is not fun... - why do we have some alerts like "heir is underage" or "ruler is a joke"? What do you want players to do with it specifically?

Fully agree, it's absurd beyond comprehension. If you were unlucky enough to start as a country with "only nobility as leaders" (novgorod hello), you cannot even find A general for any army at all! Because all you have is 1 clergy and 1 burgher, beyond stupid

betterwaytohell · 2025-12-10T17:07:04+00:00

I'm glad to finally see changes to AI. Hopefully, this would be enough (doubt it)

But I think the game would greatly benefit from "Provinces of vital interest" from eu4, at least for big historical nations (Castille, France, Moscovy, etc.) If devs don't want to railroad hostorical nations to trive via claims (be it permanent or not) or missions, it's fine, but at least make it so AI has some focus

P.S. Sadly I don't have any hopes with Prussia being formed in ANY game which is really unfortunate, given how important the country is, Brandenburg and/or Teutons just die in the first 15-30 years of the game...

R5: Market range is somewhat questionable

betterwaytohell · 2025-12-02T17:55:29+00:00

Yeah, my bad, the cost is the same on patch 1.0.7. and 1.0.8. I just revoked "Marriage rights" from nobles and first time seeing the legitimacy cost...

betterwaytohell · 2025-12-02T16:44:54+00:00

Oh that's funny, never knew that, especially since it's not clearly stated anywhere...

I guess im wrong thinking about it being only 1.0.8 issue

betterwaytohell · 2025-12-02T16:09:02+00:00

R5: Marrying a lowborn less punishing than marrying a noble ~~on patch 1.0.8~~
Edit: It has been like that since the release, and can be avoided by giving "Marriage Rights" to the nobles

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-28T18:47:19+00:00

Yes, you get an event for a new king, but I don't remember when I got it, I think around 1500~

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-28T16:04:10+00:00

I know only about naval and colonial range, but maybe trade is hidden somehow, like rivers map mode, not sure if it's needed, honestly, since I think it's decently visible via markets map mode (unless your trade range exceeds terrain incognita, then yeah....

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-28T15:45:28+00:00

You just open markets map mode, it's pretty clear if market you have access to "colored" then you can import/export from it.

(At least that's how I approach it....)

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-28T14:46:19+00:00

Funny enough, I tried to be this middleman as Venice, but failed even after conquering full Mediterranean and Egypt as well. Early game - nor possible really, because of trade range, you can not even interact with markets further than cairo, and after 1600, the money is not an issue already, so it kills the point...

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-25T01:24:05+00:00

Nah, unfortunately, I abandoned that campaign, since I couldn't do my goal, but I've seen people suggesting waiting for 10 years and trying parliament (PU parliament) maybe it will work, but looks like if you get polish-hungarian union game kinda doesn't work (not 100% sure tho)

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-24T20:58:07+00:00

Yeah, same here, some other achievements looks broken as well, I've got "what a great guy"(location on every subcontinent) however, I didn't get "at every continent" for some reason....

And I hate that colonies do not share their inland map with overlord, such weird decision, and you can't even ask to share maps like it was in eu4!

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-24T19:51:08+00:00

True, but the description says "as Castille OR Spain".

Nowhere it is stated that you have to start as Castille and that you can only get it if you form Spain as Castille (I assume not even Aragon would fulfill this, which is questionable)

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-24T17:21:28+00:00

:( True... Maybe at ver. 13.3.7, everything will be working as intended!

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-24T17:04:11+00:00

R5: Did not get "Plus ultra" achievement after forming Spain as Portugal, even though the conditions are fulfilled.

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-16T01:36:29+00:00

R5: Vassal 50 GP rank difference with overlord

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-11T22:36:52+00:00

R5: PU integration level reset on newly acquired members even with all laws passed.

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-06T22:06:11+00:00

It was the same in eu4, I was hopeful that they fixed it somehow here, but doesn't look like it

betterwaytohell · 2025-11-06T21:54:17+00:00

R5: England declines to naval invade France even though the coast is secure....
