comfy colonizing mostly. As historically as I can. I'm probably done in Iberia now. Eventually I'll annex Galicia but I'll leave Granada be. After I take Ceuta down to the province to the left of the M in Morocco, Safi, I won't bother much more in Europe.

This is subject to change depending on how things go about but it's the main structure of what I'm planning

>>160482049

Hm, seems comfy

>>160482314
Yeah, it's mainly a test game to see if the mod plays okay and also to test some different settings. I've never done much colonizing and Portugal seemed the comfiest to do that with

Right now I might try to take Ceuta as Morocco has all its troops in Tunisia. Hopefully I have the infamy for it

I lost the first war and gave the Ottomans about 300 ducats, released a 2 province minor in India, and gave them three Egyptian provinces.

Just won the 2nd war, although barely. They managed to get through about 9 level 2 forts, and lost about 200k man to attrition. They occupied a lot of provinces but I won many battles, which gave me a good warscore to peace out.

They're beatable, the truce is 7 years long, I'll need to rebuild and probably upgrade forts, and maybe build more. Ugh.

>>160482625

Gustavus Adolfus

>>160481210
>Just throw men at the brits.
That's the whole point, if I let them retreat they'll reinforce right back up while I continue to take huge attrition penalties. By surrounding them I can mass as many guys on that tile as I want and rotate them out to reinforce as they get worn down. That particular battle has been going on since the war started in February and many of the armies in that image took part in it at one time or another.

Looks like he started with that one West Francia county which was already feudalized, which does it for you.

It's really easy to feudalize without reforming religion or memeing with the tribal laws, all you have to do is conquer a castle and give it to your heir as his first holding, and then just wait until you croak.

>>160488303
The reason to take 1x cavalry is to occupy territory more efficiently, I don't see why you wouldn't take the cavalry that occupies territory the most efficiently. If you're taking cavalry for some other reason than to occupy efficiently, you should just take infantry/guards instead as they have better combat stats.

>>160486580
Why recruit an admiral when you have less than 40 naval tradition instead of just borrowing one from the merchants?

>>160487642
>wasting money on guards that are literally going to get gunned down anyway
>dragoon instead of hussar for shitty recon
This is trash, son.

Best army is 5 unaccepted pop irregulars, 4 art, 1 eng, 1 hus.

>>160489121
in what game

>>160489243
EU4 (with Cossacks expansion so you can get leaders from your estates)

>>160488868
Well except that having more than 100% recon doesn't do anything.

>>160489201
Why 5 and not 6 or more? That way the cavarly will get damaged.

>>160489363
oh okay, I was playing EU3 so I couldn't do that. I had money to blow and my previous one just died so I figured why not

>>160489363
Don't give (you)s to retards please.

>>160489201
That's terrible, the irregulars will get ORG'd out of combat in the first couple rounds and then you'll have your ART on the front line doing nothing. That's the entire point of taking a strong front row.
There's another theory that says to just take all ART, which is useful for when you are throwing excessive armies into a single battle as it makes sure that there are always ART in the back row even as the front row gets taken out of combat and the back row moves up. It's not really feasible for large armies due to the excessive artillery goods consumption for large armies.

>>160489424
It wouldbe 4 but irregulars die so easily, which is what you want your unaccepted pops to do.

I was meming anyway, it's bassed 4/4/1/1.

>>160489424
>Well except that having more than 100% recon doesn't do anything.
Which is more, 100% of 2 or 100% of 1?

>>160489424
>Well except that having more than 100% recon doesn't do anything.
You only get 100% efficiency, correct. But that depends what the actual recon value is.

The recon of a hussar is 4.

The recon of a dragoon is 3.

Meaning 100% of 4 is 4 and 100% of 3 is 3 then the dragoon is betted.

>>160489583
I don't think you got my point, being that you want your actually valuable units (everything that isn't the irregulars) to be meat shielded by the irregulars. That's why I suggested using 6 irregulars or more.

I'd like to see a proof of that. I thought that the recon efficiency worked on a way that makes so that the recon points in excess are effectively wasted.

Think, a Great Britain born in the 19th century, after centuries of being subjects, and slaves!

>>160489754
It looks like you're assuming that your perfect 30-stack is always going to be fighting perfect 30-stacks individually, which is patently retarded.

>>160489772
>Fuck off, I might as well use guards as Scandinavia because I accept practically 100% of my pop in non-colonial land.
Guards are a waste of money. They cost almost double what infantry do and supply literally no benefit. Front row is always meat.

>>160489882
If you put enough fodder in the front line cav will stay in the back.

>>160478693

>>160490001
If you go in all infantry your infantry will stay in the back, what's your point?

>>160489909
There is no recon point cap, you're allowed as many as a single unit can provide, so Hussars are better than dragoons but planes are better thn hussars.

>>160489909
Why the fuck would I have to prove established fact to you? You should produce evidence that it doesn't work as we say, or just admit that you like doing it your way anyway because you're retarded and stop arguing about it. Start a USA game, build 1x 30 stack with a hussar and 1x 30 stack with a dragoon and test which one sieges faster, it will take exactly one trial to see that you're wrong.

>>160489958
That sounds awful.

What's a good 30k late game stack, lads? 9 tank 1 plane? 5 tank, 4 art, 1 plane?

No, it really is not. It's A.I is even more broken that in Hearts of Iron 3. The A.I doesn't know how to give up or surrender, it never comes to negotiation table under ANY conditions. When you go to a war with unaligned nation to grab only a tiny part of clay ends with you annexing the entire fucking country because the dumb fucking A.I will NEVER accept peace even if it meant the preservation of itself.

Pic related, USSR was being torn apart by Third Reich, Japan and civil war, I conquered Moscow with infantry, with zero manpower left, and held it for over a year. Oh and I wasn't aligned, this started as Winter War but never fucking ended because Paradox is staffed by incompetend dicksfucking leftists commie FUCKWITS who will castrate themselfs rather than make any respectable effort on their games.

I fucking hate this game, it's broken in so many ways, every goddamn "improvement" is literally just a shallow meme, the combat is a fucking joke, the only thing that was an improvement was the freedom of doing whatever the fuck you want but the completely retarded shit everything else this game is just stacks up too much.

Also, I'm a newfag. What would you recommend: Italy First or Pact of Steel?

>playing as muscovy
>declare war

>>160506648
I annexed one of my vassals but I can't do that with novgorod. I'm not sure if peace time are really this boring or maybe there's something I'm not seeing. There's not much to do really. Separatism takes a lot to go away, high autonomy makes building in peace time rather useless and well, that's it. Just speed 5 and wait for the next war.

>>160506265
>fight novgorod
>cut them off from sweden, annex as much as I can
>second war, annex as much as I can, but they still have one province, vassalising them is 108% warscore too
>15 more years of waiting to annex one province

>>160506897
Forge claims on everything and be an opportunistic dickbag. If your neighbour is getting fucked (and hordes usually do) never miss your chance to bite off a couple of provinces. Other than that there's nothing else to do. You can also help Sweden in their glorious fight for freedom, to backstab them and take Finland later.

>>160478693
B&W

>>160507385
>108% warscore
This is such bullshit. If you've smashed their armies and sieged down all their provinces you're free to do whatever you want.
If you'd recreate WW2 with EU4's system, the USSR would probably be able to take like five of the polish provinces from Germany at the end of the war

>>160507385
then I'm not wrong when I say this game is incredibly boring during peace times. Also I'm more than happy annexing provinces but coring that shit costs too many admin points. A LOT. Was this always this way or did expansion get nerfed?

>>160509226
No you can't cheat with decisions.

No experience with these kinds of games, but I'd really like to play HoI 4. Am I going to be completely lost and out of luck? I've been looking for a game that replicates the real world during this time period but if it's overly complicated i'm not sure how i'll do.

Any pointers/tips?

hoi3 is more railroaded but way more complex and historically accurate. I suppose hoi4 might do it for someone new to genre but torrent the game or something hoi4 is pretty shit not worth buying.

>>160509658
I forgot to put the 3.04 beta for V2 on lads. That's why.

If I want to host should I use 3.5.5 (last stable version) or 3.6 (newest version)

>>160509741
I read the OP and just saw HOI4 being easier so I went for it after seeing HOI3 being regarded as one of the more complex ones. I'm not really interested in the other games as this time period is really my goal.

They foolishly trusted the media and believed Trump would loose, so they wrote their season around that idea.

Not in the game, but have the game in window mode to make it easy to tab and then have provinces.bmp open and definitions.csv. Just sample the RGB value from provinces and look up what province they represent in definitions. What trade are you adding?

I believe this is self deprecating quasi-narcissism, if so it's quite an advanced humour and I feel new respect for him.
If he's serious though he's retarded.

You are talking about someone who gets "scammed" pirating games and that thinks that graphic drivers don't work with pirated games.
He isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.

Does anyone want to play some 2-4 player eu4? I'm a pirate

The retard posted shit about Repacks.
He doesn't know the difference between a repack and a scene release, gets bitcoin miners and believes 3DM and the first GTAV release had miners.
Can't make this shit up.

>>160519780
I know right, just stop responding to him, he's probably a burger or something, you can't argue with people like him

>>160519780
I also used a few repacks and I'm pretty sure I have none of that shit.
