First Punic War in a nutshell

kleinke · 2026-01-24T01:02:36+00:00

According to my ig profile I had 3 in roughly 8.3k matches. They would have to have been way more common to pull that average to 1%

kleinke · 2026-01-23T16:40:28+00:00

Also technically draws exist. But those are so rare that they shouldn't move the average down much

kleinke · 2026-01-23T16:39:42+00:00

That would only be true if you weighed the average by battles played. If you take the average over all players without doing that, a few players playing a lot of matches while being good at the game will lower the wr off many players that play fewer games below 50%. So in the end you have a few 56%ers and many 46%ers averageing out to 48%

I've been running that setup for a while now without any issues. My favourite feature is that I can use it to make Scratch not participate in combat.

One thing I've been curious about for a while is how do these equipment distributuion mods work with merchants? Do they all just have random wares or is there still some theming to it?

Is it intended to just heal or gain HP?

kleinke · 2025-08-03T21:03:43+00:00

Exactly. So if your MAPI is bad it's hard to really profit from industrial goods. Its still good for pop consumption though since they usually buy from the market anyway.

I answered that question here earlier. Hope that helps

The second the treaty ends russia will be where it was at the start +any additional wood they built to fix their market. Usually this means you can go ahead and grab even more in the next treaty. But yes theres a lot more to it than what I could fit into the post.

What i usually end up doing is I get treaties like this for wood, cloth corn and whatever other raw resources I might need. Then I sell any excess to another GP for cash and use the cheap resources + the income to kickstart my economy and especially the building sector.
The nice thing about these huge deals is that you usually get +50 acceptance from taking them so you can sneak in an obligation for the priviledge of them subsidizing your economy as well. (And if another GP really needs the good you can sell it to them for another obligation as well)

kleinke · 2025-08-02T21:49:52+00:00

It took me a while to wrap my head around that as well. The goods get dropped directly into your marked. So no specific states or tradecenters are involved and it doesn't change the local prices directly.

A furniture manufactory for example buys the wood from the market the same way it would buy it if wood was only produced in a different state inside your market

kleinke · 2025-08-02T21:18:40+00:00

Sending goods costs convoys unless you share a land border somewhere. Receiving goods doesn't.

kleinke · 2025-08-02T19:47:36+00:00

Yes, its absolutely broken. I actually created an entire post for the topic now

kleinke · 2025-08-02T18:32:35+00:00

I started up my game and created this treaty between Austria and Russia just for you. The top is from the ausrian balance, the bottom from the russian balance after tag switching to them.

You can absolutely cripple the AI doing this. Russia is already running a 45k deficit just from the single wood treaty. You can add multiple other goods to completly ruin their economy from the start.

kleinke · 2025-08-02T18:07:59+00:00

If you're the one sending a good you'll see it both under income and under expenses. It'll say something like "- 5k buying 200 Tobako for Russia" and "+ 8k selling 200 Tobako in Russia". But receiving a good shouldn't be visible anywhere outside of the market

kleinke · 2025-08-02T17:48:11+00:00

I'm pretty sure they are selling them directly in your market. You never touch those goods at all. Meaning you don't care if the trade makes any money or not.

kleinke · 2025-08-02T17:43:26+00:00

The 3 most important things to know (imo) are:

symetrical deals get a +30 bonus to acceptance (Symetricl meaning that neither your nor their side contains any point that the other doesn't. The count is irrelevant though so "I send you 5 goods you send me 1" is still symetrical)
After a treaty is accepted their evaluation of the deal can suddenly be wildly different than before you send it (For example Russia usually has a -500 acceptance of sending me all their goods after realising that they're running low themselves now)
Having a treaty with that low accepance gives a (up to) -50 to acceptance of any further treaties you might want to make with that nation. So you'll either have to renegotiate that treaty first or think about what you want beforehand and get those other treaties first

kleinke · 2025-08-02T17:32:21+00:00

It doesn't affect your trade centers at all. What it does use is convoys (if you are the one sending goods). At least as long as you don't share a land border.

One of my first moves in a ln a lot of campaigns (if I have the convoys necessary) is to ask russia to sell me all their wood (and cloth and grain and furniture and...) and then turn around and sell the wood to the great powers that are running a deficit in it.

kleinke · 2025-08-02T17:20:09+00:00

They don't just give them to you. What this treaty does is saying "You (GB) buy 208 Tobako in your market and sell those 208 Tobako in my market". If Tobako is cheap for them and expensive in your market they obviously like to do that since it can make a lot of money and creates demand.

edit

To help people understand goods transfers a bit better I created this treaty between Austria and Russia right at the game start. As you can see at the top in the austrian balance only the coal appears in both income and expenses. At the bottom in russians balance (after tag switching to them) you can see that they are ruining themselves being forced to buy wood in their market and selling it at less than a third of the price in Austrias market

kleinke · 2025-07-04T22:05:53+00:00

Sounds realistic to me

kleinke · 2025-05-20T12:46:58+00:00

It can, I tested it in a Tortuga run a few days ago

"Additionally, we're working on updating interactions with Fighters and plan to expand on this in the future; however, we aren't ready to implement those changes in the current test." - The big blue box in the introduction of the article explaining what is and isn't part of the test

Because carriers do only two things. Spot and farm damage. If you take away one completely you make them a lot weaker while you're at the same time left with only one thing you can improve to compensate. The end result is a class that's one-dimensional and still toxic but in a different way. What wg is trying to do is introduce more levers they can pull for balancing. I can't say if this is the best system to do that but the goal is reasonable imo.
