How the FUCK do you increase absolutism? I lower autonomy, I use harsh treatment, I strengthen the government, literallynothing raises it, it stays at 0 no matter what.

This is the weakest protestant reformation I have ever seen and I had no hand in any part of it. Only Brandenburg and Denmark are of any note. The fact they won the 30 year war is hilarious since all of Europe was part of the catholic side. Except France which was nice since for some fuckin reason Brittany was the emperor.

Is it possible to remove the HRE while being the emperor? I don't care and I just want to be gross.

You took that infamy hit just to take Haiti?

>>174018809
is it safe to assume you genocided based on religion?

Why is that most countries in Vicky 2 are doomed from the start of the game?

Almost all uncivs have 0 chances of becoming anything, with a few notable exceptions such as Japan and some Middle Eastern countries. The rest will end up being a part of some European blob no matter what. I know, it's historically accurate, but this means those countries are almost unplayable, since you wont survive the first 50 years of the game.

Then you got other countries that will only get to being GP if you start blobbing in China or Africa, or prestige spam. Examples: Brazil, Argentina, most European minors, etc.

So basically if you want to dominate the game you have to play USA, Japan or some European GP. The rest can't compete.

I did genocide based on religion, but Islamic Law actually did most of the work. By the time I started genociding, over half of the empire's Christian population had either converted or immigrated away. Pic related is right before my first genocide.

>>174018901
All New World countries can become decent to great through immigration. United India is a major powerhouse, Persia is ok and can westernise quickly, Arab Union is powerful too. Forming Indonesia is challenging, but it's possible and you become quite powerful. Indochinese countries are decent.

>Ottomans do the thing where they rename Constantinople

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>174019458
>Arab Union is powerful too
which country do you recommend forming it as?

If I play as Warri why won't the missionary decision change my religion from animist? Vicky 2 HPM btw

>>174019004
n-no, do i need to be
Of fucking course I am.

>>174019458
Persia can get conquered by Russia easily. In a lot of games they attack Persia. In HPM migration is broken so the only one who gets a decent amount of migration is USA, other countries will always remain low population shitholes because of this. United India is hard as fuck to form, you have to defeat the fucking UK and all their allies. Indochina will get conquered by France. Arab Union needs to form first, and for that you need to defeat the Ottomans. That is highly unlikely.

Basically unless you do a lot of gamey shit, most of those countries are not a viable option

>>174019553
click on the name of the city and edit it yourself you spastic

>>174019557
I've only done it as Egypt, which is pretty easy since you can become GP after westernising, which can also be done early.
I think HPM has a Maghrebi Union now, which should be strong enough to form the Arab Union. Then there's Arabia, which you can form if you manage to take Hejaz from the Egyotians or the Ottomans. You're still fairly week, but should be able to prestige into GP, and form the Arab Union that way

>>174019727
>not a viable option
They're called challenges

>>174019647
Then give me a pic of something useful it could be a million things you may be the wrong type of goverment I dont know unless I see.

>>174020109
I think I was just being retarded, I lowered autonomy in a province and it didn't go up so I thought it was broken, then I did it in 10 provinces and it went up by three.

It seems pretty fucking pointless, 70 unrest (7 in each province × 10) for 0.3 discipline and 0.3 admin efficiency is pointless, not even close to worth it. Another bravo Paradox tier mechanic.

Is administration even worth it if I don't blob that much?

>>174018901
Vicky 2 is set during the age of imperialism so basically unless you have an empire you are shit. Even the USA had an empire, eventhough they don't want to admit it

For centuries these Kingdoms have tried to break our backs. When the whole world was against us and the barbarians were at the gates we weathered the storm. For the second time we've pushed the Germans out of allied lands but at great cost. The measures we took to secure manpower and meet industrial output put great strain on our colonies. What no one could do from without may be happening from within. Careful planning must be made if we wish to escape the twilight period of the Empire.

This has happened to me in every game since patch 19. Reformed never really exists in any strength and is always wiped out by the end of the game, Protestant at least gets some countries and wins the 30YW but they also get wiped out by end of the game, so the HRE ends up dissolving because not enough viable eletors.

Playing a Castille game in EU4 and I'm stuck deciding if I should disinherit Enrique or not, doing it stops me getting a really shit leader and improves my chances of a female ruler so I can hopefully trigger Iberian Wedding.

It's my first EU4 game, I've played other Grand Strategy games (V2, CK2) but still learning my way around this game.

>>174025550
Yep its been about 50 years since then and there are only 2 electors now and Austria has eaten half of Germany might even form it. Im not sure if my game can handle 2 final bosses between super Austria and 1.20 Ming that even got global trade to spawn in their capitol.

How the fuck do I diplo-annex countries in EUIV?

I always have a big negative bonus of "ECONOMICAL BASE", even though I'm 1000x the size of the Ally and much richer.

>>174027783
I vassalized them because I wanted to take them out in one fell swoop and I didn't want to have to deal with rebels. I almost have the idea tech for +1 diplomatic relations as well.

>>174027796
The equation for that is in the wiki, google it.

>>174027796
There is an equation on the wiki (http://www.eu4wiki.com/Vassal#Annexation). It is hard to get after they reach a certain development. You do as France or Castille against Navarra at the start of the game.

>>174027796
If they're small, conquer and release as a vassal to avoid admin coring.
If they're large, look for provinces that have releasable vassals, that way you can reconquest the rest of their territory later.
If you mean offer vassalage, that rarely ever works unless it's for OPM's that share your religion.

Yep thats the one and it shows another jaring problem with the random new world. Look at the terrain. There are shit mountains that are randomly spread out over the place for no rime nor reason the entire center of the continent is desert were no one could live and the south and east coast in jungle the only place it looks like people could live is the west coast, the small amount of land between the massive hell desert that puts the sahara to shame and the artic and maybe that lake in middle. Another massive jaring problem is look were the natives are all of them are squished into the artic north were no one could live.

You put the most important ones on the council and let the other ones do anything. As long as the force is below 60% they won't rebel, although that's dynamic so if you're down in a war and the saracens just massacred your army, then you may get nobles demanding new rights.
Try to give marshal council to a guy with high martial, then put him in a province to increase arrest chance.

How come map generators in other games aren't half as bad? Can't they just copy code from those games?

>>174027568
What is important as early game Enclave is that you should know your limits.
You have a small,but extremely organized force.
Research organization maximizing techs when you can to achieve around 140% organization and then stealthboys as a special company.
Until you have stealth technology,just spam deathclaws as brigades,they cost no manpower and they add a bunch of soft attack to a division.
These can easily overpower the west coast tribals in Ayorro.
Once you have a foothold on the mainland,it becomes considerably more easy.
Make sure to take the OPMs in Cali as soon as you can.
Leave the Den for last,if you eliminate them,you can't get the "Buy slaves" event,which will put more strain on your MP pool.
Only fight the Brotherhood if you have numerical advantage.
Let them take a few provinces,which will make their forces stretch and then rush their capital.
Once you united Cali it's basically over.
You have enough MP and a technologically superior force.
Not to mention the IC.

Hey boys, in Eu4 what county is best to form Germany as?

Or any fun recommendations you lot have for a fun game

>>174041778
I'd say Brandenburg, because you know why.

Bohemia is pretty neat too if you culture switch,but it's honestly better to just use brandenburg. Austria is pretty easy, but boring.

Aren't the Dark World scenes super bad and repetetive? When I played it the scenes themselves were poorly written and in first person, and there only seemed to be more or less one scene per act, with no variations for traits.

Brandenburg is the default has the best ideas and even gets a custom goverment. If you wanna take a nonstandard route I like Hesse they have good ideas an interesting start in the center of the HRE and are pretty fun IMO they are who I like to form Germany as.

>>174041868

Not officially but he had the land to be, if the slaves didn't die he'd be higher up, he was prefect of a legion, that's pretty high in Roman society

>those who own their own land and work on it

That is generally how the class system has worked throughout history, although of course 'hired' may mean slaves in certain civilisations

You call for Reichsreform
Then you institute the Reichsregiment
Then reform the Hofgericht
After that you introduce the Gemeiner Pfrenning
Then Ewig the Landfriede
You proclaim yourself Erbkaiser
You revoke their privileges
And finally you re-unite the Empire

The Knights were too cute when they came asking for a home so I offered them vassalisation and then let them do some crusading against Tunis.

Should I just finish off giving them Tripolantia in the next war and keep them small. Or would it look more aesthetic to keep expanding them East along to coast through Cyrenaica, taking Alexandria and eventually the levant?
