You're asking to be eaten by the cheating AI.
hey gang, playing eu4 as pope and was looking for some advice on how to proceed. I need to take Jerusalem for an achievement but only have 200 years left. Should I go through greece->anatolia->jerusalem or tunis->egypt->jerusalem or just go crete->cyprus->jerusalem. Also which group should i go next? annexing poland atm so no diplo group

>Diaspora ≠ refugees
Nice source senpai
The colonization of Transylvania by Germans was begun by King Géza II of Hungary (1141–1162). For decades, the main task of the German settlers was to defend the southeastern border of the Kingdom of Hungary. The colonization continued until the end of the 13th century. Although the colonists came mostly from the western Holy Roman Empire and generally spoke Franconian dialects, they were collectively known as Saxons because of Germans working for the Hungarian chancellery. Those poor refugees, OH WAIT

Russia has always been the pest terrorizing innocent Swedish soldiers. If it weren't for them, Sweden would be one of the greatest empires in our time. Plus, they aren't defending YOUR land. It's in fact THEIR land. But I'm sure you know that.

For some reason Durrani Empire gets the default 'oriental' political parties. That means I didn't even have an option to Lazy Fair it. I've been state capitalism with the same Conservative party since 1836. Basically just built profitable industries using the resources I have to hand. Cotton, Coal and Silk let me build a Fabric/Dye/Clothes/Lux Clothes industry, while Coal and Oil let me build a strong Oil/Fuel industry.
Steel meme is there to keep my Canned Food/Artillery factories going. As I was at constant war with the UK and Russia, I needed to be entirely self reliant or I would run dry even with a full stockpile.

I was thinking of making a mod for CK2, but I have some questions.
In my free time I've been doing loads of research on a historical time period not covered in the game (and not covered by any major mods). I've got lots of information of historical figures, religions, national borders, new counties, etc. But I have absolutely no experience with modding. I know I should just learn how to do all the modding / compiling / programming stuff myself, but this project would require some pretty complex stuff for a beginner (like completely new borders and probably an original map).
>Would it be seen as selfish to ask other people to help with those parts of the mod?
>Where would be a good place to post if you're looking for people to help make a mod?
>At what point in the process would it be appropriate to ask for help?
I don't want to ask around too early, before I have anything to show. Nothing is worse than some asshole popping in and saying "Hey guys, I've got this awesome idea! But I have nothing to show for it and I want someone else to do all the actual work LOL XD"
Thanks
>>159750632
Needs more liquor laddo
>>159751783
You're better off helping an existing mod with research while dabbling in actual modding the files yourself.
Newfag here, what's up with this liquor in Victoria 2 meme? I don't play Vic2.
>>159751783
there's no real coding when it comes to mods. Everything in the files is pretty straight forward and if they aren't then just mess with something to see what happens and what it does.
Due to the success of the Romanian nation state in it's rapid industrialisation and leaps and bounds of it's literacy the international audience has seen fit to grant us sole dominion over the entire Congo, in the hopes that Dacia, as she herself has done, can civilise the uncivilised. This huge social experiment will be conducted under the European auspices and will attempt to make the world's first civilised state in Africa.

The Congo was granted to Romania under the promise of strict adherence from Romania not to pursue any other colonial enterprises, this was communally understood and accepted at the congress. However, less than two years after this agreement Romania claimed Islamic militants from the newly created Mahdist Sudanese state north of the Congo was infiltrating and supplying rudimentary weaponary to Congolese border guards for a general uprising. The claim was not validated in any way, by anyone or with any documentation but nevertheless the Romanians used this as cause to disassemble the Mahdist state and establish effective Romanian control over the area.
>>159754379
b-but you have no armies desu
>>159754379
Soldiers of the hastily constructed Congolese army assembled and marched north to Sudan, aiming for a direct confrontation with the Sudanese governorate.
>>159754502
As fighting erupted in the southern jungles a Russian task force, led by the heroic "Slav of Africa" himself, Vasily Konstantinov struck in the Sudanese coast. Such warfare as we were witnessing would have been unimaginable to Europeans even ten years ago, it is solely the advancements in medications and vaccines that has led to the ability of Europeans to conquer the final frontier, Darkies.

Fighting in Sudan became less and less like a "war" of European standards and more like a perpetual rebellion, Congolese and Russian troops were frequently prone to ambushes and attacks from Sudanese Islamists encamped in unlocatable places, the dreaded "Khartoumi curse" as it was beginning to be called meant that war was less a gentlemen's game of standing up and firing off a round and more desperately trying to stay alive in hositle territory. Was this the future of African warfare? Meanwhile a new campaign was opened up in the Southwest between various tribes thought, or rather, accused of ambushing supply ships. The native Congolese would go up against the congolese conscripted to fight for Europe, Freedom and the Hohezollern throne of Romania.

The war with the Mahdists was brought to a close with the capture of a prominent Sudanese general, they were made to bend the knee to the Romanian administration in a long, obnoxious and humiliating ceremony supposedly arranged and orchastrated by Loyalist Congolese troops.

What was feared by the Romanians had indeed become apparent. The Mahdists had merely given us a scrap of paper in which to get their skilled general back in their possession, this treaty was not the end of the problem but the beginning of a larger one.

1. This picture is not from Rio Grande but Santa Catarina. More specifically Blumenau.
2. German heritage is a 3rd place there, behind Venetians and Spaniards. Yes, Spaniards - most Rio Grande used to be part of La Plata (and yes, the borders between CRs from EU4 are historically wrong)
3. If you care so fucking much about races, at least check the racial profile of the region. Protip: RS aren't the only ones with a white majority.

Romania and Russia go to war with the Portugues and Austo-Hungarians over the Angolan colony held by Portugal, The government of Romania claims this is to prevent abuses by the Portuguese but there had been some very serious allegations and damning evidence of warcrimes used against the natives in the pursuit of this "freedom".

My guess is that he is a fundamentalist Christian (Vatican city flag) from Palestine (Palestine flag) that moved to the USA (USA flag). This history may vary according to the last flag's meaning
And he is against the Maverique Pride cause (that's why it's in the vertical and not in the horizontal as it should be). Or he really likes Bhutan

Downloaded everything, I'm running the mini-mod included with HIP that cordons off parts of India and Africa.

It's probably too insignificant to really spend time look at it, but I was wondering if anything could be done regarding the accepted pops of Durrani Empire. I've just finished a game I posted earlier in the thread.
>>159749573
Similar to how Arabia gets the full collection of its arab cultures as accepted based on their shared Islamic heritage, would giving the Durrani accepted Pakistani pops be infeasible? I would argue there was enough pan-Islamic activity between Pakistan being an integral part of the empire and the (failed) attempts to wage war with China over the uyghur populated region.
From a gameplay perspective, it's a bit overwhelming to form a union and find that all that changed was the colour on the map.

3. In the late 1870s, there was an Austrian offer to sell North Borneo to Italy for use as a penal colony. Could an event regarding this be implemented, or would it be too complicated?

By creating marches to prettify the borders around you.
By bringing deus vult to backward peoples worshipping false gods as Muhammad, Luther and Calvin.

Something that's overlooked, but I believe putting a nation into your sphere gives you a share of 50% of their internal market, while having a satellite in your sphere gives you access to 100% of their internal market.
One massive advantage of puppets is that nations can't declare war on satellite states. If you make a satellite which has another nation's cores, they will be unable to declare on that satellite to get those cores back.
>No matter what you do your empire will never be more influential than the Roman Empire
How do you guys live with this feel? Even if you conquer all of Africa as Britain in victoria 2 you're still less influential. Even if you recreate Napoleon's Europe in victoria 2 YOU'RE STILL LESS INFLUENTIAL ARGHHHHH
>>159806863

>>159806941

If I went to continue on this playthrough, I'd
>create some more marches and protectorates, all of them Catholic
>force convert Hamburg, Iceland, Perm, Brittany (Canada), English Mexico, Ethiopia (I've been doing that by grabbing their land, converting and then releasing Funj as a protectorate)
>prettify the borders of other countries - Germans can't rule themselves, the Piast shall be their demise
>dismantle the HRE - I didn't bother yet to create a huge enough coalition to fight them all together
>make Hejaz a [Christian] protectorate, feed them non-Roman Arabian lands
>create Kazakhstan as another march, make them Christian, feed them Altaic lands
And so goes on.
Next campaign will be ironman, normal, self-imposed rule of 10- provinces (maybe more if I want to form the Netherlands, I want an end node. But no blobbing.)
>>159806941
I do not want to claim the British empire was not influential. However, saying the Roman influence died in the Dark Ages is bullshit.
Before the formation of the modern States, people still used Latin as lingua franca. We still use it for scientific nomenclature, and the Romance languages are alive, well and kicking.
Most of the world still follows the Civil Law Code from the Romans with some Modern improvements.
Even our architecture and urbanism still follow Roman architecture in a large fashion.
And yeah, the Catholic church.
>>159807349
>Before the formation of the modern States, people still used Latin as lingua franca. We still use it for scientific nomenclature, and the Romance languages are alive, well and kicking.
And if Rome hadn't existed they would have used Greek. That's not a huge influence, it's just a language.
>Most of the world still follows the Civil Law Code from the Romans with some Modern improvements.
So many changes that it is really nothing alike
>Even our architecture and urbanism still follow Roman architecture in a large fashion.
Wrong
>And yeah, the Catholic church.

>And if Rome hadn't existed they would have used Greek.
Nah. People used Latin because it had a strong speaking community in the West*, Greek was only influential on the East. Without Latin, probably the barbarians would have an easier time forcing their dialects, the common European language would be probably Franconian or something like that.
*Latin proper up to ~800 CE, dialects beyond that.
>That's not a huge influence, it's just a language.
I honestly think you don't know what you're talking about. A language is a HUGE deal, specially in this case. It has to do with identity; first as Roman, then as European, then as erudite. Pic related, from 1612.
>Wrong
Were you expecting columns everywhere? Now go check where the plebeians used to live and compare them with the modern small 2-store houses.
>Has no influence anymore except in Pedo rings and satanic clubs
You wouldn't say that if you lived in some spic 3rd world banana republic as El Salvador, USA or Paraguay...Banter apart, the Catholic church messes a lot with politics, even on countries where Catholics aren't the majority. See the prohibition against abortion for an example.

The whole "Durrani" thing is a bit complicated seeing as it was just a dynasty that ruled Afghanistan. I should revise it at some point.
>>159802189
1. No. Italy needs a big rework for their treaties with France and Austria, but doing agreements like that is kinda complicated.
2. Since they are Italian culture group, they will petition for annexation and give you a core if you release them and sphere them. I think.
Not really necessary if it's working that way.
3. The problem with this is that, besides being too specific for Italy, that Austria never buys the place in the first place. They rarely colonize and they rarely colonize so far.

If you have enough planes to exhaust all your manpower, assign them to an airbase, wait a single day and then, since manpower doesn't go away until planes arrive at the airbase, use all your manpower to train regiments. Unpause, wait for your planes to arrive, send planes back to the warehouse, and you just got some free manpower.

Through a NF, yes. One that is unlocked with prisoner transportation and can be used in colonies and gives more immigration attraction than the normal attract immigrants NF.
That wouldn't solve the UK problem since normal migrants see all their colonies as the same, including India and the AI wouldn't use the NF.
I've been thinking about making a category of NFs for colonies only, with NFs to increase RGO throughput, reduce CON, reduce MIL and that could go in that NF category too.
>>159811808
That's a good idea. Just remember in game hon colonial migration everywhere but Australia and New Zealand is already ahistorically high, so be very hesitant with increasing it any further
>>159812103

Is there a mod for EU4 that makes the west the chinese/muslim poor developed countries, and makes the east the western/eastern more developed countries?
Such a mod would be pretty cool desu, changing the usual world powers for Asian ones.

man all I wanna do is be able to create white settler states, like if I'm playing the netherlands I don't want people to migrate to highly populated indonesia, but to some african colony instead. I wanna choose what are my exploit colonies and what are my settler colonies.
and I want to be able to just generally get more people to migrate somehow. I don't know if I'm asking for anything realistic but it's a very fun part of the game.

>>159821652
Slovenes are literally austrians who speak a slavic language
Pretty sure of all the slavic peoples they're the ones who have the least amount of pan-slavic sentiment. Basically only retarded russians and serbs buy into that shit.
What if there was a mod that changed the East to be the more advanced place rather than Europe. Do these tech groups look good?
>>159821467
> How do I change gov type to like fascist or democracy
Changing from Monarchy to Democracy can only happen via rebels, or specific flavor events and decisions. Changing to a Fascist Dictatorship, Communist Dictatorship, or Bourgeoisie Dictatorship is usually done through rebels, However, Fascists and Communists can come to power with over 30% of Upper House Support I believe.
>what do bureaucrats do
Increase your bureaucratic efficiency. The National one (visible in the budget tab) affects how effective your National Focuses are. The State one affects crime and some other things that I don't remember. Basically you want it to be at 100%.
>How are großgermaniums formed without tons of rebels or intervention wars?
By a German nation sphering the others. Load up a game of Prussia or Austria and look in the decisions for the specific requirements. Very few wars are needed.
>>159822614
Austrians are germanized slavs, don't you know?
>>159822718
And germans are just germanized Celts
>>159822767
I thought they where germanic people.
menes
>>159822959
Nah, they're Celts lad. Western slavs are slavicized Germanics.
>>159822959
No, the only actual germanics are in the north. The rest are just celts and slavs that were forced to adopt the culture and language after they got conquered by the franks.
>>159822959
germanic people are white so all germanic peoples left europe for the United States at least 10 years ago
>>159823125
Aren't Franks just Germanized Gauls though?
>>159823162
gauls are frankisized germans*
why are you nerds talking about niggers again

Well they're germanized belgians. Caesar considered the belgians to be celts but different from the gauls.
>>159823301
>saying the n word
wow racist much?
>>159823125
Oh. I´m from germany myself, but I always thought we where germanic people, but still different from the ones living in the north.
The only celts for me where the ones in the british isles and ireland, don´t know about scotland. But honestly I don´t know enough about the britons of that time to say that with certainty..
I need a country to play as in EUIV. I don't really feel like playing anything in the HRE, but I don't want to play as anything east of Lithuania.

>>159824215
ffs, give me a country.
>>159822706
Thanks. I've seen blobs though where germany holds austria and all of russia. How does this happen? Asserting hegemony on both before forming germany?
>>159824861
To get Austria into Germany as Prussia (via the "Form Germany decision) is a bit more complicated. Austria can't be a great power, must be shered, and can still say no. If they do say no, you, as Germany, can get cores on their majority-German land. If they say yes, you'll get the option to take only the German parts (and Bohemia), or take it all for a huge amount of infamy. As a large Germany, though, you can win the containment wars. For the "holding all of Russia," that was probably a vanilla exploit. Basically release Poland-Lithuania with one state from Russia in a war. In 5 years, after the truce runs out, declare war to annex Poland-Lithuania completely, and also declare war on Russia to liberate Poland-Lithuania. Wait until both send you peace offers then click both open. Accept the Russian one first, then the Polish one. Presto, you just annexed a huge amount of land for a maximum of 37 infamy.
Is It possible to be free of Russian Empire in Victoria II as Finland without going full autism mode (i.e. waiting 70 years).

if any future anon finds me on google, putting the mod file in C:\Users\Anon\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\Mod instead of the game directory fixes it
>>159827395
pm'd u the fix
So: Is the thing where you go and occupy Two Sicilies until the redshirt rebels take over so you can become Italy not a thing in HPM (maybe not even HPM but newer victoria II) cause I can not see how I'll be able to fucking defeat these faggots much less do anything to them at all without a great power on my team (in which they'll just end the war when we get the warscore since they become the war leader).
>>159827887
>>159828073
Lad Sicily is one of the most exploitable countries to beat
Just get a stronger navy than them, that's all you need. Occupy the island of Sicily, blockade them so they can't send troops there. Troops will line up in the "toe" of the "boot" and as soon as you move your fleet they will flood in through the straight to re-occupy the island. So make sure all your guys are on your ships. Then when their whole army is on the island, blockade the straight again, and go straight for the capital which will be laughably undefended. And then you can occupy the whole mainland, and they will accept literally any wargoal. Total victory with 0 losses.
>>159828903
Thanks for the advice.
I did something similar to that and won. Guess I was just being a hothead.

How do I win as Rio Grande Do Sul?
>>159832896
Yeah pretty much always raise autonomy
There should be a menu somewhere with all the revolts and they should slowly be going up until they get to 100% and then the rebellion happens. You can spend fifty (maybe more) military points to decrease it by 30%

Crusader Kings 2 idea: become king of Bohemia and control the entire kingdom in your demesne by jacking up your centralization and always having high stewardship. Switch over to elective monarchy and if you get any duchies outside of Bohemia, give them to your relatives, making you have defacto Tanistry. Fill all the empty slots with cities.

>>159744323
Humanist and Administrative are the best amd groups. I'd say humanist since it will let you integrate the turks and egyptians more easily. You should take the knights(diplo vassalization should be easy), and then take crete, if the mamluks are guaranteeing/controling them then make sure you have naval superiority, the Cypriot army is small but it is a mountains fortress so it will be a bloody assault. You could always wait for the mamluks to fight the ottomans, which will let you take Cyprus with ease, just make sure you have a claim ready.
>>159806142

Anyway here's the latest changes:
-Added an irredentist decision for Romania to expand to the Tisa.
-Germ Theory 2% for the nation being a colonial nation was replaced for a 2% for GPs and SPs with at least 40% literacy and industrial score of at least 20.
-Added 6 new NFs exclusive to colonies. The first one increase the attractiveness of a colonial state by 200%, the second one increases farming efficiency by 50%, the third one increases mining efficiency by 50%, the fourth one increases RGO efficiency in treaty ports and the Suez/Panama Canal, the fifth one reduces militancy in a colonial state by -0.50 and the last one decreases consciousness in a colonial state by -0.50. All of these, except for colonial migration NF, are locked to Overseas colonies ONLY. Some of the NFs have a downside, some have an upside.
-Added Transylvania cores to Pancevo and Bor to stop the minorities there from assimilating.
-Added a small Romanian minority in Vidin, Bulgaria. Based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanians_in_Bulgaria

Or have the Biritsh Request money for it and the retention of islands like the Maritimes?
>>159864169
No, just use the normal CBs. I don't see any logic in spending nothing with a free CB or a small amount with a humiliate CB to annex all those provinces when there's already CB's to do it.

You could always add massive debuffs for the US afterwards since it would be a bitch to garrison and take longer to colonize.
You could also have the Civil War trigger off quicker in response to it.
Main reason I asked was because it was a major goal of the US in the 19th century and it gave the British a good reason to avoid conflict and compromise with the US.
Just feels historical unplausible for the US to occupy all of Canada then agree just for a State or island.
>>159864387
Or you could just use the normal CBs and deal with the consequences.
>it was a major goal of the US in the 19th century
Already had this argument before and no one brought anything significant towards it. The US never made any real attempts to annex Canada and if you want to do it, you have CBs to do it.
You don't need to peace out getting only one state, you can add wargoals to annex more. Just deal with the infamy.

The Burgundy PU is very easy to break, you can almost always immediately make france and austria support your independence before you even unpause. Declare war on burgundy and sit back and relax while france and austria tag team him. You can ask for antwerpen for a huge trade power boost in the english channel. Austria wont ask for you to return it because you're allied. All you have to worry about is a massive coalition if you get too greedy.
It hasn't even been 2 years and you are independant and can bully the rest of the lowlands as you please. The burgundy PU is more a blessing than a curse for early game holland.

Am I the only one who thinks that Paradox games lack both diplomatic, administrative, military, political and economical depth and the only real way to fix it is adding more players?
Would you play in a game, let's call it MMO-Victoria, where you don't lead country, but instead you play as one of the many politicians competing with each other to become a leader of their party, then to become a President, and only if you are elected you can declare wars and move your troops?
>>159870128
This
>>159866969
I don't know why they insist on this crappy zone of control mechanics. It's counter intuitive for players and the AI.
It would be more sensible if hostile forts forbade movement between two chosen provinces until sieged from either side.
>>159870128

No. There are plenty way to make grand strategy game in-depth that don't involve turning it into an MMO.
>>159870581
>There are plenty way to make grand strategy game in-depth
Yeah, like women emancipation in middle ages.
>>159870581
More depth = more details.
More details = more complexity.
More complexity = at some point the game becomes too complex for a single person. How can this problem be solved? By delegating some parts of the gameplay to the:
- AI — effectively hiding rarely-used details = back to square one;
- Other players — MMO can have all the details handled by different persons.
How can a game become more deep, more detailed without turning into something too big for a single man? I don't see a way.
Same as >>159870318, trying to think in a more interesting mechanic:
1. When you build the fort, you get to choose 1-3 provinces bordering it to extend the zone of control. A wall pops up in the map between those provinces and the one you built the fort in.
2. You cannot move between two hostile provinces if there's a wall between them. If one of the provinces is neutral or controlled by you, you can move.
3. To siege provinces with at least one wall from a hostile fort bordering them, employ usual siege mechanics.
4. Capital forts work the same as other forts.
Thoughts?
>>159869957
i usually play the trade game so I want colonies fast, i pick exploration > expansion > admin for mercs
if you focus on your navies, which you need for trade power anyway you can overtake portugals colonies pretty easily by dominating their navy. If you're still allied with france they'll take care of the rest.
quantity to make up for your low manpower is nice as well
>>159871113
>More depth = more details.
This holds true in most cases, but not always. Sometimes gameplay depth can be added by tweaking current mechanics or even removing ones with negative gameplay value.
Also, have in mind complexity (the amount of stuff you force the player to memorize) is generally "bad" and a sign of poor design, while depth (the amount of different stuff the player can do, the consequences of the player actions, etc.) is generally "good".
>- AI — effectively hiding rarely-used details = back to square one;
Alternatively, just remove/rework those rarely-used details, since they add complexity without adding depth.
damn that denmark buff is delicious
ideas are still complete ass though
>>159871345
Although I agree with each of your statement, I still don't think that the game can be both deep and easy at the same time.
Let's refine the definition of "deep". Ultimately deep game is a game where you can do whatever can be done in real world, and see the outcomes of all actions as you would see them in real life.
What do we know about real life? It has a lot of details. You can remove some of them(for example, physiological needs are not a subject of political game), but even "pure", "idealistic" politics has a lot of details that are inherent to the concept of "politics". Even if you remove some "insignificant" features like media coverage mechanics(newspapers, tv, internet) — you cripple the depth of political gameplay.
Yes, all these features have different impact on the outcome, but as a rule I would say that the more features/details are present — the deeper gameplay is.
Should I be worried?
>>159869957
you can declare war on them almost immediately, if you can get a diplo +1 advisor you'll get them both immediately, otherwise you might have to improve relations with them for a few months at most. You have to be extremely unlucky for that to happen.
Either way you'll only want antwerpen for the first few years, if you take a more you'll have a lot of trouble with aggressive expansion and coalitions will definitely form. I usually take antwerpen and then declare on utrecht or friesland with a claim. The problem is timing, wait too long and friesland/utrecht/gelre will get a bunch of allies and you generally don't want to call in france in order to build favors for bigger conquests, but if you annex their provinces too quickly the rest of the HRE will get upset and lynch you.
I usually take antwerpen and immediately declare on utrecht or friesland with a claim. then I sit on their occupied lands for a few years till the minor provinces have forgotten your conquest of antwerpen.

Or they can remove zone of control mechanic except for the province that has the fort. You walk into the province that has a fort and you can only go back to the province you came from.
Half of quarter of a ducat maintenance per fort and buffs to ideas and policies that reduce the maintenance.
Army tradition should also be tied to both maintenance level of forts and standing armies.
>>159872692

>>159872720
>1# producer of liquor in year 1245
>>159873325
Or they could remove the forcefields stretching across hundreds of kilometres bullshit from forts altogether, rework attrition system to not suck and tune AI to pay attention to it. The deeper you go into enemy territory the harder attrition becomes, occupy enemy clay to establish supply lines and reduce the impact of attrition, that's it.
>>159872554
There is too little depth to administration of provinces and to optimizing trade. And there is too little that you can actually do to squeeze out more ducats, manpower, force limit, etc.
Buildings are expensive and some are complete useless shit.
Mayo and texas fixes this but it runs like shit.
>>159873325
>You walk into the province that has a fort and you can only go back to the province you came from.
This is problematic because you can merge and split stacks. What if you merge two stacks that came from different provinces? (The game already has this problem)
On the other hand, this problem wouldn't exist if forts spawned walls. It doesn't matter where your army came from - if you don't siege either A or B, you won't pass between A and B, period.
Army tradition, ideas and policies affecting maintenance is sensible, but I won't give you numbers because this is something only playtesting should solve.
>>159873663
>>159873663
>rework attrition system to not suck and tune AI to pay attention to it.
Ai cheats on attrition and as far as I can tell from my years of playing it doesn't ever take it into account for anything.
In my Theodoro game I am playing currently, Ottomans had two ~50k stacks in my mountain forts eating 5% attrition for a long time. I was checking their manpower in the ledger and their manpower recovery per month was around 900 but their overall manpower wasn't dropping as fast as it should.
>>159873663
What if forts instead cut down the supply line? It's the main problem of forts IRL, and it would make an interesting mechanic. No supply line = gradual loss of moral and no reinforcements.
>>159874274
I may be wrong, but I think attrition for the AI is counted as individual stacks. So for example, if the supply limit is 20 and the AI has two 15k stacks, neither gets attrition; but as soon as it merges both into a 30k stack, it'll suffer attrition.
>>159866359
Busy with work in Italy.
>>159873663
Deep attrition could be so easy to implement too, just put in an increasing modifier based on how many provinces an army is from a friendly province (that doesn't have an enemy army present).
Supply lines could then be "cut" by moving an army to sit on the province linking the enemy army to their borders, thus adding to the distance they are and boosting the attrition modifier. This would encourage breaking up doomstacks to maintain defensive garrisons on vulnerable occupied territory and discourage doomstacks rushing straight to capitals.
You could also have a defeated army only be able to retreat through a friendly owned neighbouring province, and failing to do so it is "encircled" and destroyed.

This mechanic was poorly thought. Specially silly for the Charrúa (other tribes should force them to migrate), Guaraní (they should be always somewhat near the Iguazú Falls), Fox (specially dumb when they end in Acadia).
Another poorly thought thing IMHO is Castile allying with France to beat up on Aragon and then getting into a PU with the same Aragon. Wait, do they love or hate each other?
