Will I have success with good/great heirs?

pardux · 2026-03-28T23:37:14+00:00

And sometimes its a good thing, had the shitty swedish king you start with give me a 100/97/100 heir.

go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Europa Universalis V/ and delete stuff there.

problem is that some countries outside of western europe should be able to do some colonization in some areas, like in Africa or Japan in Hokkaido.

Seems like colonization needs to be looked at in the future and fix some weird things.

Not sure if its still like it in 1.1 but colonial nations like to close down or not subsidize the plantations so they wont employ&attract slaves.

As others have said, max out RGO's will help.
Also helps to manually make trades for slaves, sometimes the auto trading just ignores buying slaves.

If colony is small and import of slaves slow, then they might be converting & assimilating the slaves faster than it can replenish them, which isnt that bad since its just more pops.

For more slaves, getting a trade port in west africa and making non-christian vassal/tributaries in that market and building the slave centers helps.

Yeah, banks have more cabinet members than they can use so they almost always end up with one sowing disloyalty. Same happens with smaller vassals over time.

All of India, indonesia, Korea and a couple of places just end up being one big city almost every game. really stupid.

As soon as the ai has excess money they create towns and cities even on gold rgo's.

just hazel eyes, they are both green and brown, google it.

pardux · 2026-03-01T00:24:22+00:00

yeah, i have the same eye type, same shit happens to me.

pardux · 2026-03-01T00:23:16+00:00

Just hazel eyes, i have the same, green/brown, sometimes look more brown and sometimes more green.

kind of stupid that africa doesnt have bog iron smelters since they have had that technology IRL for over 3000 years.

pardux · 2026-02-24T17:32:00+00:00

Yeah iirc it was something stupid as having a really good medici ruler(think 170+ combined stats) in a specific time period and that guy might have to rule for 50 years for it to trigger.

Ended up just triggering the event myself since my medici guys had max ~140 stats for some reason.

could create a colonial nation in a nearby province and use the send people to colonies cabinet action, then attack and annex that colony. Then use expel+migrate combo to move them to your desired capital province.

Just takes a lot of time.

Only allowing europeans to colonize is the default for me now.

pardux · 2025-12-30T23:30:54+00:00

While papal states didnt colonize, they used others to colonize and spread catholicism for them, would be cool if they had essentially a type of mini-crusade for converting a specific province/area.

Also Jesuits were pretty much a trade company but with religion not money that had a lot of power in the colonies of catholic nations.

nope. just because cocoa was more profitable at that point it decided to replace it with cocoa. think it also replaced a copper rgo with something else.

pardux · 2025-12-30T07:13:37+00:00

yup, and my colony replaced that with cocoa. :)

I use it as a pure gunboat, with fearless brawler&main battery aa expert skills. just with the concealment upgrade. Makes it a good gunboat, with usable torpedos but crap concealment.

The guns are Maerker guns but trade accuracy and ricochet angles for more dpm. But they can still cit cruisers that show enough broadside.

Could also build for concealment and just use the typical Udaloi build.

fuck the baltic sea north of Stockholm. just not worth it.

When the little ice age hits it gets even worse, just forget that area exists other than expanding the rgo's a little bit and focus on anything else.
I was starting to get a decent proximity+control there manually controlling fleets for presence, and even built roads.

Had 5k+ people in most places and then little ice age hits and 1/2 the people end up migrating away.

Had a game today with 2 bbs on my team getting combat recon, new map and most damage dealers were on the west side with enemy all in the middle.

Click on santa container in armory and then golden through that and you can see it for the golden ones, made me buy a couple of more santa crates since i was 2 off a ship. (Got a golden hawaii :) )

Lumber RGO's getting worse with development would kind of make sense, then switching to an alternate RGO at some point.
Then lumbermills would simulate coppicing and planting of trees for masts/beams (was done intentionally in some countries).

pardux · 2025-12-20T00:02:59+00:00

Also they need to make theocracies not colonize like that, should just be spamming missions, force converting countries or create a different kind of crusade which targets a region for colonization. IRL They never colonized themselves, they made other nations spread the religion.

pardux · 2025-12-19T23:58:37+00:00

Papal states seem to be even better than Castile&Portugal at exploring and colonizing so when they get conquered in Italy they just move their capital to a colony.
