why? haven't played EU3 in a bit but even just getting 2 or 3 merchants in Lubeck helps a lot as an OPM

>>122104750
They can't compete, I got 5 in Lubeck for a couple months but then they got kicked out and I can't afford to resend them, even with merchant adventures its 6 ducats per merchant and I make 4 ducats a year from taxes.

You know what to do lads

>>122104861
like I said it's been a while but what i always do is use my magistrates for a -inflation guy who should more than pay for himself if you mint as much as possible without gaining inflation (or mint more, you still have enough time to burn it off)
is Silesia not part of the trade league?

>>122105016
I'm in the Hanseatic league but I just don't have enough free trade to keep the merchants alive for now, and for now I don't have enough monthly income to make money minting, I make 1.1 ducat per month and a level 6 master of the mint is 0.6.

For now I'm just going to spend all my magistrates on theologians, the AI is hardcoded to hire them even if they don't need them to cause the reformation so if I pop out a level 6 it'll give me 5 years worth of cash, that'll give me a decent stockpile to spend on merchants once my sliders are better.

>>122105261
I didn't know about the theologians always getting hired, I think I tried making money with random advisors and it never really worked out
I definitely wanna try that as an OPM now, would you say it is better to try and only make advisors at 100% tradition or is it better to spam out low-quality ones as fast as possible?

>>122105441
I havn't crunched the numbers but I always save up, a level one only costs 2 ducats vs 18 for a level 6 and I think the AI will prioritize hiring better advisors so a horde of level 1s or 2s probably won't get sold.

Another decent idea if you're playing miscmods is taking unum sanctum for its war exhaustion reduction then declaring war on the crusade target and milking war taxes and crusade bonuses for as long as you can, unless you're in a position for them to actually fight you there's no downside.

>>122104995
Any more jewhans lad?

>>122105682
17 ducats really is't that much m8
I never played miscmods besides dablling in the dark europe or whatever scenario, but in vanilla I can easily make 30+ ducats a year as any HRE OPM just by minting

Does anyone have the link for that zombie mod for Vic2? I want to play something different.

>>122105978
Yeah but minting only gives you some of your monthly income, Mecklenburg, Bar or Holland with their cranked sliders for trading can roll in money right off the bat, someone who's merchants can't compete just won't have the monthly income to be able to do that, when you're at the bottom every 0.1 ducat counts.

Also Austria is now the Emperor, Bohemia is at war with all of Scandinavia and peasant revolts are slowly taking over all their provinces, they still have 30k troops but the time might be soon.

Nice.
Selling advisors as a minor is pretty efficient. Getting the iconoclast decisison? I think you need a theologian and patron of arts for that.
-8% base tax, but like +3% cultural tradition iirc.

If you're on HTTT you can get 3 compete chance advisors to help with your trade.

How do I make my people want reform more? I've been doing my best to raise consciousness and militancy but it's still not happening very much (playing Austria)

Yeah, you just need a church and Church Attendance duty which was my second idea, the 50 ducats from that architectural development event let me build the church too so it all worked out nicely, then I switched my second idea to bureaucracy since in miscmods it gives you +0.5 magistrates a year to spam paintings with.

>>122107390
Narrowminded is nice but I don't actually need anything it gives me, stability cost is irrelevant since I'm so tiny and I'm not colonizing or converting anyone anytime soon, might as well take the extra tech.

Now that I have another slider move into free trade and a stockpile of cash I'm gonna try switching my ideas to Merchant Adventures and National Trade Policy and hiring a high level master of the mint, took a while to get off the ground but I should be rolling in cash soon.

Pretty much the stuff you have now. It's quit hard to justify blobbing outside of Silesia as Silesia.

What purpose do religious holdings serve? Bishops don't pay tax nor do they give me any levies because "lel pope :^)"

Can I burn them down and replace them with a city or something?
Can I replace holdings with other ones in general?

Bishops provide more tax than cities and more levies than castles. The only time they provide these benefits to the pope is if they like the pope more.

They don't automatically support the pope, and if you're good at the game all your bishops will be at 100+ relations.

Don't think of it as Silesia, but as the Duke of Silesia. He's a feudal lord, a proven general who just won independence from his liege and now controls a rich realm. Realistically I'd say goals from here should be trying to claim one of neighboring kingdoms, Bohemia is the strongest claim because of the former feudal relationship, Poland next strongest (Potocki is an old, powerful Polish noble family) and Hungary least but slightly justified because of its links to the Bohemian and Polish royal families and nobility.

>>122122946
If you can rig Pope elections youve already won the game. Bishops paying money to Pope isnt a big deal so just deal with it and stop being a faggot.

Nice thought process though honestly, post more.

Today when reading the past DDs from Stellaris, I've thought about a little game to test our space-nerdiness knowledge of space fiction.
The rule is simple: in the first level comment, a description of a race based on the four Ethos available in Stellaris, which are:
Collectivist - Individualist
Xenophobe - Xenophile
Militarist - Pacifist
Materialist - Spiritualist
and other people will guess what race it is. Be noted that the race must have been featured in films, books, video games. Please specify if you put 1 or 2 points into the Ethic you choose (for example: Fanatic Xenophile if 2 points, Xenophile if 1 point)
(if you don't remember, you can read it here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/stellaris-dev-diary-5-empires-and-species.887487/)

You can use more than 3 points to describe a race, as I feel the 3 point limit of the game is too, well, limiting.
If you think it's a little bit hard, you can include a hint or two. It's supposed to be challenging but fun!

>>122119763
>EU3 combat is actually much more forgiving than 4 IMO, it's more based on morale damage than casualties so stackwipes are a lot more common, and there are no nation specific ideas so anyone can take Military drill to get double their opponents morale for the first 100 years.
There are a few nation specific decisions though that affect combat.

Like prussian and swedish discipline.
I guess that might be it.
I think Poland has less cav cost and burgundy has less merc cost, but nothing else that affects combat that much iirc.

>>122126214
What about 4?

>>122126368
If you're talking about MEIOU and Taxes I have nothing to say really because I don't play EU4.

Depends on which tech levels.
I think I did it as switzerland vs burgundy.
Their cav got double penalties by attacking into my higher tech infantry in the mountains iirc. I slaughtered a ton of them in the first battle, but was force to flee after a while. Turned it around later.

I have EU3 with all the expansions.
Is it worth getting EU4 or does it not make that much of a difference?

Well that was real fuckin naive of me, Poland almost instantly peaced out with the horde and sent 60k men my way, I took out two stacks but I had to take this peace offer, pretty cheap price to pay for a Kingdom though. Hungary white peaced out shortly after, it's just Bohemia and a few german OPMs now.

>>122126368
It's a very different mod, can't speak much about it since I gave up on EU4 really quickly after release but MEIOU for 3 was a total overhaul of everything, including the UI and how basic game systems work, it had a pretty big focus on historical accuracy, depth and difficulty, it was more or less the definition of a hardcore mod. MEIOU & Taxes just seemed to be D&T (the very definition of a casual mod) with an autistic map.

I've been sitting on this boundary dispute core for a while since they were allied with the emperor but that alliance dropped and they were easy pickings.

Should I take the land that's rightfully mine, or allow the Margrave to administer it for me as a vassal?

Then France adds more than Poland and Lithuania put together on top just because fuck you, I can't actually do anything because they just have so many men wandering around if you try to attack an isolated stack 50,000 men will show up out of nowhere to reinforce them.

I have a really bad feeling that Poland is going to peace out by giving them like 5 of Bohemia's provinces.

What's the default settings for factories, and how do you change it? I think something like 50% going to capitalists, 30% to clerks, and 20% to craftsmen would be a fair distribution. Because as it stands, factory workers are only able to afford life goods, and can't buy the goods produced by the very factories they work in. Looking at debug allmoney, it seems like capitalists are getting some 80% of the profits.

>Victoria 2 was always /gsg/'s GOTYAY
Except it sucks at what it tries to be, i.e. a 19th century grand strategy game. It's a shitload of idle clicker games sewn together around a barebones set of combat mechanics. The AI makes it impossible to have a real challenge or simulate anything close to 19th century politics (only possible in multiplayer with everyone actively and consistently roleplaying as their chosen nations---so, never).

The idle clicker minigames, micromanagement, repetitive combat, and potential for 'believable worlds' stroke the average grand strategy player's autism just enough to keep them coming back. Its 'replayability' is just a glorified Skinner Box loop.

Stop acting like Victoria 2 is good. It's not, it's just that everything else either sucks more, or is less accessible (see DH and HOI3).

Hi steamgruppe

So posting grand strategy is bad now? What is it, the tripcode? I'll get lost, fine, but don't tear down MCG. All the effort he put into his run, don't tear that down for no reason. He's trying. That's more that can be said about most people here.

Crying "memes" and "shitposting" as a means of intimidation and shutting down conversation is downright Tumblr-tier, by the way.

Someone gets it.

The steamgroup made this shit a long time ago to try and whitewash their history and create more drama around the modders from /gsg/. It's a sure way to tell members because they are the ones who spread this shit

Yes, retard, and the fact it treats turkslayer shit as real is how we know it was made by him
He never posted any screens of godslayer or clockwork empires, it was just a meme shit to create drama, attract attention to the group and to shitpost. His "community" never had any talent, it was just a band of shitposters or redditors who didn't know where they got themselves until turkslayer organized a raid

>>122143269
No

This shit belonged to France at some point, then Germany followed suddenly by Italy.

Now it is the fucking Byzantines up in here. Also note Pictland, that King is going strong.

England is still a bunch of warmongering small duchies.

>then there is this guy

>>122143269
No senpai, it's right there, the first line under "trigger." The event will only fire for England/United Kingdom, no one else. Rupert's Land has to exist, but even if it is still a vassal, Rupert's Land isn't the one who even gets the event at all, England is.

>>122143661
but when you fire the event as the UK, Canada gets all the cores that are Rupert's Land's.

>>122141921
They already have.
