Get more allies that want land from your target. Use diplomatic feedback to mark provinces you want, but make sure not to have 100% overlap of vital territories with your allies, otherwise they won't join on promised territory. Promise them land and actually give it to them to get favours, take some for yourself.

Wait for allies of your target being in debt or exhausted, or make them friendly towards you, to disparage them from defending against you.

Attack when you have better tech and/or ideas, policies.

Don't be afraid to go into debt to win a critical war.

Use mercenaries.

Use the terrain to your advantage by using the simple terrain map mode and watching out for defensive terrain and river crossings. Use your own forts to get battles in favourable terrain, stay away from their forts on unfavourable terrain.

Try to peace out their allies quickly.

Watch out for small countries. Each independent country has a base manpower pool of 10k and force limit of ~5, plus they go over the force limit in war. A bundle of them is much more persistent and dangerous than it looks.

Currently the emperor of Byzantium controls Constantinople and the east where as my ruler controls Rome and the west.

Further expansion west is halted by a Khan with 15k cavalry units.
Expansion south was technically successful but came at far too great a cost, like 1600 gold.
Expansion to the east is halted simply because of the distance.

What should my next move be?
If I build up a big enough war chest I can defeat the emperor with mercenaries but I've held off on doing that because I have my hands full already just dealing with the constant faction wars from catholic dukes in Italy and Sicily.

So, I'm working on getting the Land of Eastern Jade achievement in EU4 right now.

Current plan is to start in Pagarruyung, take Exploration Ideas, colonise a bit of Australia, move my capital to the continent after losing a war against Pasai or whoever, then colony island-hop across the Pacific (New Zealand => Hawaii => California => Mexico) and finish by conquering whichever shitty Mexican minor is available. Hopefully, I'll be the origin of Colonialism and cuck Europe out of an institution for a half-century or so.

Turning a country into a vassal gives you less "aggressive expansion" penalty than annexing it outright, and once you cassalise a country, you can peacefully annex it later on (automatically giving you cores on the vassal's cored lands). Furthermore, if you conquer provinces of the vassal's culture/religion, and you don't want to deal with that shit, you can sell them to the vassal instead, and they'll handle the provinces, coring them and such with less difficulty (so you can peacefully annex them later). This is called vassal-feeding.
>>
>>173040189

use them to conquer with DIP instead of ADM

if you have a bunch of land you don't really care for turning into states a march will also get way way more out of the land than you would by ruling it directly. something to consider if you've got an unused diplomatic relation

Well, you can release a small vassal, then feed them land. For instance, a Khmer player could annex, convert and release Pattani (a Malay culture country), then annex and feed them Malayan provinces in Malacca and such. And then, in the late game, you have client states which let you do this shit from scratch.

So you're telling me that the entire god damn roman empire at the height of its power is only about as big as the United States.

Suddenly everything I've been doing in CK2 feels so small. My entire realm that I've spent 75 years fighting for is only about as big as 2 California's.

why are ck2 empires so fucking stupid.

i mean i get it, gameplay purposes so that emperors can vassalize kings, but they could atleast try to give some ethnic/geographic/historical patterns to them.

the fuck is empire of carpathia? the fuck is the wednish empire? why is the empire of italy the same as the kingdom of italy, only a rank higher?

i only realized how bad this is when i played as the king of bulgaria in ~1074 and realized that after getting the kingdom of serbia, my only options were unrealistic expansion to hungary to become the emperor of fucking carpathia, or swearing loyalty to the byzantines and fucking them up through factions, both of which seemed boring.

at the very least it should be much easier to form titular empires. pic related.
>>
I fell for the meme dlc. Is there a way to remove witch trait? It's -50 general opinion, it's ridiculous.

On a kinda separate note, how to force my liege to support my claim war? I'm not sure I'll be able to handle that kingdom alone, but it's not of any problem for my liege.

>at the very least it should be much easier to form titular empires

>>173045070
In the next patch, aren't they reducing the 180 realm size to 150 for forming an empire?
>>
>>173045248
>forming titular titles
The requirements for that are insane and you get no dejure territory from them. It's better to form or usurp an already existing empire.
>>
>>173045440
It's pretty steep but I've done it. But yeah, no de jure territory is pretty fucked.
>>
>>173044337
>Have a lot of defence only retinue.
>High martial italian commanders.
>Their special pike-related stuff never fires.
why
Also what mod was it that made the "good"/"awesome" tactics have green icons and the "bad" ones red?

>>173045440
>>173045527
You don't get de jure stuff?
So it's not even like the custom kingdom that turns all your full duchies into de jure territory? What's even the point.
>>
>>173046295
You're missing the point.
You don't need 100% of the land to claim its title.

If you conquer 80% of Francia and form the Empire of Francia you get a CB to reclaim the other 20% that belongs to other people.

You pay ludicrously more to form a titular empire and you don't get the same benefits.
>>
>>173044767
Lot of Kingdoms were never an Empire but they made some absolute Count > Duke > King > Emperor progression.
Honestly I just think the AI should be able to create custom empires based on their kingdom when playing kingdoms who never had an empire manage to get enough territory to create one.
Because reastically what would happens if some random kingdom like Bulgaria managed to become an Empire? most of the time they would just become the Empire of X rather than going full on We Wuz Kangz for some preexistant empire.

The only thing saving my ass is that I built extra castles in my Duchies so I've got like 8,500 men. I've only had to hire mercenaries to deal with my vassals once.

I could barely afford them so I invited like a dozen people with 100+ gold to my court, imprisoned them all, then banished them to steal all their cash.

-350 Tyrant, -100 Opinion of Predecessor for heir. Everyone fucking hated me but they were too busy rotting in a fucking dungeon to do anything about it.

I didn't think this was possible but I'm running out of vassals.

I've made every duchy I can, transferred vassalage of every count to their dejure lieges, and tried to put as many counties under my person control that I can.

Still though I'm left with over 20 dukes and enough counts to put me at 28/27 vassal limit.

What do I do? Pretty soon I'm going to have 4 new counties to deal with which means another duke putting me up to 29/27. My centralization is as low as it can go.

Please help.

Post-apocalyptic Westeros. After driving off the White Walkers, I had to fight a war to keep the Reach and Iron Islands contained. Revoked Tyrells from the Reach and put the Florents in. I'm probably going to put the Iron Islands directly under the Crown now.

Casualties from the White Walkers include Loras Tyrell, Mace Tyrell, Rickon Stark, Barristan Selmy, Margaery Tyrell and Tommen's two kids, Sansa's kid, Myrcella "Baratheon", most of House Frey, the last remaining Bolton heir and Osmund Kettleback.

Cersei died from too much drinking and Tommen died from illness after his family died and I tried to shadow baby him for the throne, but he managed to somehow fight it off. Tywin's line of Lannisters is all dead, Kevan's continues but they don't run the West nor Casterly Rock, just Lannisport.

Ruling families are Baratheons of the Crownlands & Stormlands (and iron throne as a whole), Starks of the Trident and North, Florents of the Reach, Estrens of the Westerlands, Arryns of the Vale, Volwarks of the Iron Islands (not for long) and Dondarrions of Dorne (cadet branch of Baratheon under Edric Storm).

First game in which most of it was fighting the Whites. Not sure if I'll continue this since I've crushed most major rebellions and in GoT mod after you win the Iron Throne it pretty much turns into realm management tycoon.

provinces have its dev in ducats in them. every month 1k inf steal 0,1 and cav 0,5. don't loot for a while and the amount goes back up

>>
>>173058408
Just keep stacks in each province and quickbind the loot map mode. Any province you loot dry gets a vastly increased autonomy (so don't do it to provinces you're going to take). Looting a country dry before allowing peace is as close as you can get in this game to salting the fields.

Autonomy isn't the only thing that looting does. Think of something good you get from a province like tax, manpower, institution spread, etc - looting it to red makes everything worse. If you don't want a country to recover loot every province systematically.

The MoH patch making capital states no longer maintenance-free is going to make it borderline impossible to not run a deficit at game start as some nations, plus the mercenary cost nerf means you can't punch above your weight as easily anymore. No fun allowed?

This is why I prefer CK2 where you can just eat your way through a kingdom as a vassal like a parasite and come out on the throne.

So I'm going to make Westfalen a vassal state, partly to keep the Dutch out of germany and my trade but also just to be able to dick around in germany.
Question is: do I let them have access to the sea?
On one hand it makes a lot of sense to make them dependent on me for trading and stuff, but on the other hand it's kinda a dick move and it makes the borders look a bit wonky.

It's dogshit because it's hidden behind an idea and it has 75% AE. Personally I think any Catholic nation should be able to declare war against The Ottomans whenever they like for 0% AE as long as they get the Papal Pennant (make a new mechanic for it or something).

Also, in the vanilla start you should be able to form coalitions against the Ottomans.

>>
>>173062778
The crusade mechanic in the game isn't enough. You should be able to click on the PI interface then click on "request Papal Pennant" then declare Holy War on The Ottomans whenever you like with 0 AE for taking lands that are Muslim and were Orthodox before that.

Church bells across the entirety of Europe are rung at midday to this day because The Ottomans were beaten in a battle at Belgrade. The game does not do enough to show how much of an apocalyptic threat they were perceived as.

I've been scraping by for as long as I can but I've reached the damn near absolute limit of my power.
I'm trying to manage the dukes of 5 different kingdoms all while trying desperately to heal the great schism before 900AD.

In blue is what I currently control.
In black is the dejure territory that I need to conquer due to my obsession of clean borders.
In red are the counties I still need to take control of to heal the great schism.

The problem is that if I set out on all these wars I'll have 6 new duchies to manage.
Currently I have 12 counties and 3 duchies I need to get rid of.
If I managed get rid of all of them right now I would have 26/28 vassals, 2 duchies, and no demense outside my capital county.

However, that means at the end of the next 2 holy wars I'll be finished. I will be utterly incapable of expanding further without going over my vassal limit.

How am I to make room for the vassals of the remaining 4 duchies?
Do I have to give up on one of them, refuse to create any more duchy titles, and hold the extra 10 counties by myself?
Do I have to empower the council to improve my vassal limit?
Do I have to start giving multiple duchy titles to the same noble?
Do I have to murder the emperor so that I can inherit the empire and then start giving whole kingdoms out to my vassals?
>>
>>173064969

They really did nerf them. It's not a big nerf but it's enough to make the retards on the forums start whining about "WAAAAH WHY IS OTTOMANS GETTING NERFED PAWADOCKS", and that's good enough for me.
>>
>>173065362
howdo i enter the giveaway?
>>
>>173065265
Nope. I'm quite possibly the greatest vassal in the history of the world.

My family has served the emperor faithfully for the past hundred years. We never joined any factions. We never plotted against against the emperor. And we've expanded from a single county in the theme of Sicily to control 5 kingdoms.

As a result I have 2 dozen dukes as my direct vassals and the fucking emperor seemingly unaware of my plights continues to throw more vassals my way which is only making my problems even worse.

I am however next in line to inherit the empire by popular vote.

Only in the first age and they have to purchase it anyway. In that age everything is level 2 fort anyway so who gives a shit. Ottoblob always spends the first hundred years cleaning up little shitters around it anyway.

The REAL powerful bonuses come later in the game anyway. Like increased back row artillery damage, increased Mercenary discipline, or free forced march.

I don't know how it works if you don't have the latest expansion pack but this is the version pre-monks and mystics so it was intended to be used with the whole post reapers due but I think it should work without, try both and see what happens http://hip.zijistark.com/releases/latest.pl?id=22

I guess yes, you extract it to a folder, run the exe/bat or whatever, choose modules, wait for it to compile, put it in your mod folder and done. Be aware you need literally every single portrait mod for CPR plus.

I never used mercenaries until I was in a multiplayer campaign with friends recently, and was playing as an East Asian maritime trade empire, making more ducats than I knew what to do with, and having to fight off the Russia-player who was flooding into China.
There I REALLY learned to appreciate them, though.

Unfortunately the increased costs are going to nerf even super-rich trade empires. I really wish this game didn't encourage blobbing so much.

It's taking them a long time... HIP was updated already and the devs have said paradox broke something and we won't see an update for sometime yet they did it anyway.
>>
>>173072654
It'll nerf one of the many means to blob aggressively, but one which doubled as a means for small but wealthy states to defend themselves against more expansive empires with more manpower.
Now managing trade, developing provinces, etc. is going to be even less worthwhile than before; if you want a large army you will NEED to aggressively expand and conquer lots of territory.
>>
>>173072876
I think if you want your mercenaries then managing the trade perfectly and developing provinces is even more worthwhile than before. You just can't field combat width stacks for 40 years to make sure you have infinite manpower for forever.

At this, he smiled beneath his beard, and asked for me to never forget the past. Tilting my head up, he kissed me, just like when he had stolen my first kiss in our youthhood. And, after so long of confusion and chaos, I knew this was right. Working together, we both joined together in bed, and, without hesitation, I knew that the love I had had for Theodoricho and Giselhar could never compare to this.
Waking up in the morning, I knew that I didn’t want to there to be another chance to be separated from Raegenweald. With him at my side at the council meeting, I announced that we were to be married, to the exasperation of the lords who saw there were more political considerations at hand, but I would have none of that.

Hey lads can someone inform my ass
In Meiou and taxes what's the disadvantage as playing as Castile in the start date? I figure they must have some pretty bad modifiers as in
the current game of Portugal I am doing, Castile won the civil war due to me taking Galicia from the other state and the Castile AI having a few lucky battles against their enemies. But I'm not sure if the devs even thought this could happen because when Pedro dies, even though the other country is gone, annexed by Castile, the event fires that that other country won, and Castile tag switches to them and then inherits Castile? Weird Shit
Guess what I'm asking is that if Castile wins the civil war by itself at the start date, and as Portugal I helped by contributing manpower and whatnot, is it cheating if I stop that BS scripted event firing that removes my dynasty from Castile's throne? As you bet our ass I'm gonna try to PU them

Can gsg senpai help me with trade nodes in eu4

Got the game a while ago but never got really into it until a few days ago and l must say it's pretty fun but my main problem is trade, l'm gonna use my actual game as an example

>pick clanricarde (irish province)
>get 5 other provinces before england vassalizes ulster and tyrone
>only way to make money is through trade from now on
>spend money on ships (like 25)
>send them all to the north sea trade node
>11% of the trade node
>fleet maintenance is something like 2 (at lowest maintenance) while trade income from node is 0.50

l've read lots of guides and watched tons of videos and l still don't understand, should l keep building ships until l control 90% of the trade node or something ?

>>173084679
Depends. Centralized for something like the Ottomans for that army and state bonus. Decentralized for something like Milan because litteraly every penalty doesnt matter and that 25% build cost is fucking godly for getting your schools in. Vassalize all of Italy because you are a republic and cant form Italy and you get the 25% tax increase as well.
>>
>>173084913
At this point your economy is too weak to take on nodes purely on ships. It's a waste of money.

No point, you won't be able to compete with just boats. Boats aren't generally very good at holding your home trade node unless you're competing with other power houses (GB vs Holland or something). Their main use is for pouring trade into your home node.

Trade in general is not a huge moneymaker without some effort. You'll probably need to take over most of Britain, or at least the main trade nodes (Good luck competing without London) and shifting the trade city to English Channel.

You should be cutting costs to save money at this point, basically don't pay maintenance on anything if you don't need it.
>>
>>173084913
>should l keep building ships until l control 90% of the trade node or something ?
Ships, shipyards and upgrade to caravels to get more trade power from shipping.

If you are going to start tackling England keep an eye on their manpower in the ledger. When it goes low declare on them and hope for luck.

You have several events on your side. Lollard Heretics (rare), War of the Roses (this will fuck them over every time), ally France or just watch for French/English wars. Instead of protecting non existent trade in North Sea try privateering English Channel. If England is a rival of yours then you'll get som power projection and coinage at least.

You'll only beat England if you have good allies and luck from events and dice.

Bait them into fighting on marsh, forests or hills. Beware of Richard Plantagenet.

Not really. You could send those boats to privateer the English Channel and see if that's a better use of the ship maintenance. Especially if you're rivaled to them.

You could wait until they get embroiled in another war. Just keep an eye on what they're doing. Personally I'd have sold out Scotland for their land first, especially if they allied any of the other Irish minors and you don't mind paying dip/AE. Allies can be a liability sometimes.

There isn't a reason to do the Crimean War, HPM hasn't put in any events for what happens if Russia were to win. So the Turks just get cut down to size. You get a CB for later wars to release states in Europe but you don't get any land out of it. Russia should, at the very least get Kars, maybe Thrace, and maybe even kick the Turks completely out of Europe if they win the war.

Tech penalties are based off what institutions you have -30% for each you dont, but if youre next to a country that has it you can advance towards the institutions meaning Aztecs and Africa will be at max techs faster then Russia because theyll be closer to the people who have gotten the institutions first.

Success!

I started as Pagarrayung, barely managed to colonise Christmas Island before Pasai pushed my shit in for the second time, annexing my capital (and forcing my capital to Christmas Island). Because Christmas Island is in Oceania and not Asia, though, I couldn't move my capital to Australia immediately upon colonising Western Australia. Ended up having to colonise Sumba (in Asia), moving my capital there, then moving my capital again to Tiwi in the Top End of Australia.

Unfortunately, I couldn't explore the New World early enough to get a chance at the Colonialism institution, so my tech speed was shit. In any case, though, it worked out in the end, and my route to the New World ended up being Northern Australia => Kiribati => Baja California => Mexico.

This would probably have been easier with some expansions, like Art of War or Common Sense. Just playing the raw base game here (with the exception of Conquest of Paradise).

Its not hard to take it over at all, the problem is all good countries are republics so you would have to end that first. Only Kingdoms can become Italy.

I'm at war with China, with demands over 100 warscore. I know for a fact that every time they reject it they get militancy and war exhaustion.
If I just keep spamming them with requests and driving militancy/war exhaustion higher, will they eventually capitulate?

HPM is like an extention. Adds more political policies (see picture). Way more decisions and events (almost doubles the amount). Fixes alot of inaccuracies. Adds more spice to socialists/fascist governments (special events/decisions to actually slowly turn into one). Adds genocide decision (religious or racial) for authoritarian regimes and alot more to be honest. The Modder used to post here till some weeks ago.

Sounds really fucking good, thanks mate for telling me about it I'm installing it right now.
>>
>>173096321
It also tries to fix the economy. It's still not perfect but it's better than vanilla. The only thing that still annoys me is immigration is still opaque and hard to manipulate, it should be a feature that changes as time goes on.

Not the anon you're responding to but I was frustrated with how difficult it was to do this in vanilla vicky2 and if this is true I might play it again.

Tell me more.

Buying into EU4 since it's on sale at paradox's site.

Going to get:
Base Game
Rights of Man
The Cossacks
Common Sense
Art of War
and Res Publica

I'm on the fence on the rest of the DLCs, getting all of them would be fine, but I'd rather save money if there is no reason to buy into dlc.

Which dlc is worth it? Any I should drop?

You know how the balance in Meiou 2.0 is that buildings become progressively more expensive? Well if you pay for thing when the event fires it doesnt have that malus, check it in the current Meiou. Force the calculation, it takes away anything it calculates and you can get -50% cost buildings with the right ideas + decentraliation with none of the penalties from having too many buildings.

Its like playing Prussia. Its just part of the game. Not your fault you can game the system.

Who is the most fun to play as WORLD POLICE in vicky2?

>>173105804
Focus on culture and religion? See how far you can spread your dynasty? but I usually just resign if your empire is too strong or you have a retinue that just deters enemies from fighting you.

>>173105804
No

>>173105984

ok so what's the comfiest way to play, merchant republic maybe?

which gsg has the most variance? What about challenge?

This screenshot makes me feel claustrophobic.

>>173106653
Merchant republic is indeed comfy. Any game where you can just chill and expand your holdings endlessly while maintaining what you have is.
I like doing it with a meme religion and associated Society (Like Yazidi's or Kharjites and Hermetics, or Shias and Assassins, or Messalians and Lucifer's Own.) Bonus points for being a meme culture as well.

>>173106653
Be careful as a tribal turning into a merchant republic. I had a shit ton of bugs in the transition and the only answers i could find were year old posts saying "lol merchant republics are buggy".

that being said if you do stick it through then prepare for some fun as a pagan. Raiding the Mediterranean then coming back home to Gottland is a crazy comfy feeling.

You also won't have to stress yourself out with the tradepost limit thanks to concubines.

so yeah comfy if you can get it to work.

if I was going to be autistic and name my divisions in HoI4, what names should I give my SS-Motorized infantry? all of the famous SS divisions seem to be Panzer divisions
>>
>ai sieged a fort down in 70 days


haha xD paradox
>>
>>173109632
>autistic
>HoI4
Pick one. On the naming subject, why do you care? They are motorized infantry in your case, not panzers.
>>
>>173109936
idk it's fun
>>
>>173109751
Literally 3 battles where I have every statistical advantage except for .5 morale. Coming with 2x the numbers and far more artillery. All end in crushing defeat.

Do I literally have to have 4x the number of mean in a fight to have a chance of winning?
>>
>>173110038
For 3 or so runs yep.
>>
>>173110273
just help me out my dude
should I just forget the actual type of division and give every other panzer division and every motorized infantry division a name regardlesss of the kind of division irl?
>>
>>173110493
Yes. You don't have to be THAT autistic and name everything according to IRL kind.

Colonia Dignidad was founded by German émigrés in the mid-1950s,. Its most notorious leader, Paul Schäfer, arrived in the colony in 1961.[4] The full name of the colony from the 1950s was Sociedad Benefactora y Educacional Dignidad (English: Dignity Charitable and Educational Society)

No they used lancers, which is different to mounted spearmen. Reminder that the german army used more horses in WW2 than 1
