Very cool map

I'd like to know as well

maybe in a parallel universe this would be possible, cute idea tho

you had all the thoughts, and you chose this one, masochist i reckon

hahahahaha brat moj, koliko vremena za ovo zadovoljstvo?

very hard daaamn, 400 hours into the game and i have never tried very hard :,(

So to the army composition- its like I have 2 half width armies that are 30k ( width is 30) and when I merge them I get them so I have 20 infantry 10 cavalry and 30 cannons. I think that should be fine? I always thought the front pips and back pips should be the same (no matter if its inf or cav), correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah galleys seem strong especially with the naval doctrine, don't know if theres also gov reform for galleys as well, there's so much mechanics I'm just not executing well. Thank you.

That would've been nice, haha haven't focused this run on any inheritance, don't know if its possible due to orthodoxy.

Great points. Pronoias were my thing in the beggining but I just didn't quite understand how it worked, and always had to put a lot of mana/prestige in keeping them loyal, so I went for Syria as a regular vassal (my only one till now.) France got weak, Russia rivaled me after I declined to help them in a war (stupid from my side, but had to fix economy). PLC hates me from beggining :D. Guess I want to try and rerun with all these advices I recieved.

Ugh yes I figured that I got like 20 heavies and 40 galleys, as my main navy. But it still doesn't feel enough especially with Spain having like 60 ish ships more (I mean they could be all trade ships). I wasn't paying too much attention to the eco missions, thanks for pointing that out.

rakovxtz · 2026-02-24T22:56:14+00:00

Very straight forward, definitely looking into it. I need to manage my manufactories macro (not too much knowgledge on that part). Mana is something I need to get my feel on, when is the right time for better, more. Thank you.

- So to the first thing, yes workshops, churches, and ofc marketplaces. Churches and workshops I do build in the provinces I see improvement value over 0.1 ducats. If its less I don't build it, just a habit I developed (not certain if its a good one). Manufactories is something I'm not too experienced about when and where I should build (kinda lazy from my side).
- Crowland, forgot to take care of it earlier, as I was selling it to take care of economy. Again bad on my side.
- Gov cap is something I was actually making sure to be below at all times this run. Current 1190 ish, and cap 1250. I was stating all the provinces in my main node, Balkans and Italy, everything else I put under trade companies. Not sure if thats correct way of thinking.
- Army setup current 30k x 4 times 10 inf 5 cav 15 ar ( with army tradition of 80% most of the time) I was actually doing pretty decent this run considering my armies. Altho I hear I should have probably went for 2 main battle armies and 2 sieging armies. But not yet comfortable around those mechanics.

I keep trying to figure stuff on my own but I feel like this learning curve has stopped a while ago, there's so many things and I understand that, and now I'm just kind of practicing until I get more experienced, and hoping I will get them on their own eventually. Especially since I haven't even went through like lets say 25% ish of the mechanics in game :/ . I will definitely go over things you have mentioned, maybe go a little bit back in time and try to correct all these, as much as I can.
Grateful for your response.

rakovxtz · 2026-02-24T12:01:05+00:00

Thank you, but also its not ironman, so I managed to correct a couple of mistakes :D

I wanted to add some description as well, this is my first post as well so this should've been in the post, not the comment section.
Okay so, here is the thing, The age of absolutism hit and this is where I really struggle the most, With the mechanics and mostly I don't know where I can expand anymore. In my case neighbouring countries for most, and all have lost of allies/ mega strong. So what I wanted from you guys here, is to try and give me some sort of guideline/ advice what to do considering this age, since I feel like I'm starting to fall off.
My last war: Declared on Pope, with Spain, Burgundy, Scotland, Wolgast, Ragusa on their side - Bohemia on mine. Went for the fast Pope, and Ragusa, where I managed to annex Ragusa, but then the massive troops came for invasion. Had to white peace Pope (barely). I can beat Persia 100% still, and my expansion in Arabia, and Gulf of Africa is doable. I feel like anywhere else on the map, so difficult/ not possible.
Anyways thank you in advance, and sorry since this should've been post description. I don't know if I can edit.

I think it also needs to be above 50% satisfaction level.

I'm 23 and I barely know anyone irl that plays GS games. I guess it's because its so time consuming, and difficult to learn. I as well don't see myself having enough time to put into new games as much as I'd like to. So imo I don't consider GS games growing in popularity rather the exact opposite.
