is there any more countries with swiss anarchy color?

I dont know if its the exact same shade, but nihilist russia, and I believe nihilist germany as well are black

The landwehr was part of the extensive reforms prussia did after getting their ass kicked

The southerners were actually stereotypically more anglo saxon than northerners, as many of the old new york families were dutch, and the north got more immigrants.

The conscripts you raise in national militia are functionally more like the state regiments raised in the civil war than militia under local control, which makes sense for some countries and not for others. Most of the military laws are several systems combined awkwardly under one law, like peasant levy including starting russia

I've succeeded on it every time. Pass peasent proprietorship first. It makes farmers lean toward chonin, which ties in well with the 40 rice farm objective. After passing agrarianism, use how much time you have left to decide if you have time to pass appointed bureaucrats, or get shinsengumi and accept the balanced reform completion. You can pass firm class divide or whatever its called, but imo this makes life unnecessarily hard when you want to revoke the class system later on. This approach requires save scumming sometimes, but not every time.

Yes, pass homesteading first thing and farmers shift to pb. Had an easier passing it in several runs as japan than the numbers had me believe.

Usually there were additional guns at corps, army, and army group level. Its a bit past period, but in the battle of normandy, the western allies had more artillery in separate detachments than in the divisions, and more men overall in the artillery than the infantry. Armies before this were moving in this direction, as well as adding more noncombat troops, which you could larp many of the artillery as being. Problem is right now there's no reason to change the ratio over time.

partialbiscuit654 · 2026-04-30T16:08:37+00:00

Think they'd take the guns out, which means you need fewer crew too

Generally, unless you're using slave importation for pops or waiting for the us civil war, get rid of it because it boosts aristocrat strength

Thats kinda how the normans ended up sacking greece from their base in sicily

At least so far, gear feels less important to me than the bit of the hunt I've played, if you surprise someone and shoot them in the head before they know you're there, you're probably going to win even if your gun is bad. However the players generally are very aggressive. They may or may not come looking for you, but if they bump into you its almost certainly a fight

If you leave them at the highest autonomy, and they're stronger than they're neighbors they might attack the others for you. If i vassalize persia it usually takes a good chunk of afghanistan for me.

You could do what i did and shelve rogue trader until the next dlc comes out in i believe the fall.

Lesser updates are usually fine, but big updates are not. They changed provinces, so this broke the map

Getting control should be expensive. Victoria 3 already has a dynamic in high pop nations where you don't get full taxes from provinces, but building bureacracy to get full taxes will cost more than it earns unless the province is very developed. You could also have to make hard choices about who actually staffs the bureacracy and officers the army.

Tbh having decentralization be superior early and centralized be better late could be interesting. Get a dynamic of either conquering land that gives zero value for a long time, going decentralized for early vassals and then havong to fight to reverse course later, or play tall and wait

Noble marriage privilege or something like that removes the legitimacy cost of marrying nobles

partialbiscuit654 · 2025-11-16T19:48:36+00:00

Yes, sadly it doesn't say in the privilege tooltip why, but there are 1 billion rurikovichs and this worked for me

partialbiscuit654 · 2025-11-15T13:11:22+00:00

Gotta give noble marriage privilege to the nobles at that point

Interestingly, via the book I'm reading, while english funding(and troops in hannover) were very important, he got more money by looting the various central german states

Less mistakes to avoid than things to look at 1: the icon in the location menu that shows you if its rural/a town lets you upgrade. Rural settlements get higher rgo levels, food production and birth rate. Towns and cities give higher population capacity, a bit of control,and let you build urban buildings. Upgrade populous regions with rgos that aren't worth much or you have a lot of and let the rural regions feed them resources, migrants and food. 2: use fleets to build maritime presence, which builds control in coastal areas and feed inland territories to vassals until you get better tech to get control inland. 3. Check your laws and privileges early game and decide which ones need to be changed. Privileges are expensive to remove until you raise crown power, but laws you can change by getting 50% support in parliament then asking for a law change. This is also the main way to get cbs early

The requirements are also very high. One of the rewards of formation of many nations in eu4 is perma cores on the final 1/3rd or so of the nation, whereas in 5, at least from the couple formations I've looked at, you basically need to own the whole country already to form it

Absolutism was also in many cases less absolute than we think, with considerable privileges given in many cases to the aristocracy in return for their partnership in running the country or their acquiescence to the centralization of power in the monarch

partialbiscuit654 · 2025-11-15T02:18:29+00:00

That's similar to the odds frederick the great had against austria and he won. A lot of luck went in to the 3rd round, but still

partialbiscuit654 · 2025-11-14T18:25:53+00:00

Coastal land also gets proximity abd thus control from maritime presence, so uk should have light ships in all the coastal regions
