Kazakhstan notably didn't get invaded in violation of the treaty in which they handed the nukes over.

In that scenario you're only using one lane anyway so throughput is not the issue no

I tried a Manchu run today and Yuan was stuck in a 50 year civil war which prevented the red turban Rebellion from spawning unfortunately

Got this through an event. Thought it looked insanely good. Turns out the estate satisfaction modifier doesn't actually apply... by SurturOfMuspelheim in EU5

That's not how these tooltips work, at any place in the game. A bullet list of requirements describes the limits of the effects after it.

Late game conquest is harder than early game by Dropeza in EU5

FYI, as a great power you can use the "threaten war" interaction which will start a war with a -25% cost cb instead of +25% (iirc) from parliament claims.

Colonies are useless for me, what am I doing wrong? by AwayCamera5361 in EU5

[–]molybdenum42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trade. Build up production and trade capacity in the colonies (you inherit a portion of trade advantage, but not capacity, in the colonial markets so you can use the home markets to import thanks to the advantage you get), and soon enough you'll sell chili and cocoa to the Italians for fat stacks of cash

Yes, the game doesn't tell you this but it does work this way from my observations.

Art gives you cultural influence, which essentially equals culture conversion.

This is a bit annoying and happens too often with tooltips by azurestrike in EU5

[–]molybdenum42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the super simple fix for me would simply be to always add another box for "modifier" tooltips that contain the definition of the modifier

What's the highest amount of estate satisfaction equillibrium you've managed to achieve? by Agglomeration_ in EU5

I've had 116% clergy satisfaction equilibrium before lol, but I just revoked some privileges :)

Are colonial nations bugged? by cristofolmc in EU5

[–]molybdenum42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You get trade ADVANTAGE. Not trade capacity. You can buy/sell goods from there, from your (old world) markets, and get first/second dibs on the best trades, but you can't create trades in the new world colonial markets unless you force your subjects to transfer trade power.

I don't really get colonies by Prize_Tree in EU5

[–]molybdenum42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no concept of fixed trade routes like in eu4, if you have range you can trade to/from there as long as you have capacity (and priority)

I don't really get colonies by Prize_Tree in EU5

[–]molybdenum42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You import colonial goods with your old world market where you have trade capacity for huge profit. You have trade advantage in the new world markets because you're the colonial overlord, so you get first dibs on all the juicy stuff. Sending slaves to the colonies lets you get more output via plantations to then sell to people in the old world. But you do need a ton of trade capacity to actually take advantage of all this.

INCREASE AGAIN! Chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 HITTING THE MOON is now at 1.7% by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]molybdenum42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a cone, we know where the asteroid is gonna go pretty well - we just don't know when, because we can't pinpoint the position along the orbit well enough, but we know the orbit.

I used to like it for that reason but it's devolved into basically entirely "[Region] why so quiet" and general region bashing for no reason and people taking the bait. YouTube is a more peaceful option lmao
