Everything is going flawlessly so far - the Western border is secured due to Dezful being a mountain which then becomes unconquarable if I put a fort on it, while the Sunni state below me which could've potentially allied with everyone around me is eliminated. The only thing I need is to expand the Eastern border so I can reach the mountainous region near Transoxiana and put a fort on it as well, blocking incoming armies from all of my sides and giving me enough time to react in case they do come somehow

So I just conquered the small country next to me and came up with an alternative strategy - I'm going to make Dezful a fallback fort while extending my actual border to Baghdad, as it seems that it somehow has a fucking THIRD of my current total population in it alone. It's also a trade node, which is even better since I'll get a massive income bonus from holding it. The problem being - I will border the Mamluks, which means that while the Jalayirids will no longer be a threat to me, something even bigger will be. And even if I did defeat the Mamluk 30 doomstack constantly, they'd get weaker and get annexed by the Ottomans, which means that something even BIGGER will become a threat to me.

It's either don't expand westwards at all and stay at Dezful, or do it rapidly and re-establish a new defense line in all of those mountains in the west. I'll try going with expansion for this game. If it doesn't work out and I get blitzed by the Ottomans I'll try staying at Dezful for the next and expanding eastwards instead

>>184128717

>tfw no game where
>losing levies angers your vassals
>losing levies, over-recruiting or keeping levies for too long causes famines (since there are not enough serfs to work the fields)
>losing battles or having large casualties reduces your popularity with the army/generals and makes your soldiers refuse to go on a campaign
>being constantly at war reduces trade and available grain, making people migrate elsewhere and shrink your population

one of the reasons i liked victoria 2 was how risky war can be at certain occasions. unless there are large areas with accepted pops to be conquered, war with strong nations is rarely worth it.

>>184129554
So I checked the terrain and this seems to be the optimal way to fortify against the Ottomans. If you build forts on all the F locations you become literally unconquarable as its very hard to siege a high-level fort in those places, especially if you go defensive/engineering ideas and especially if you also put an army there. And you can't just ignore them because there's no other way to enter the country. Even if you did break one of them it would still be impossible to enter deeper without losing half of your forces to attrition and getting slaughtered by the waiting army behind them, because all of this is mountains

The problem is - if the Ottomans do that instead (which is extremely likely since I cant conquer fast enough to reach it before they do), I'll face the exact same issues

>You better have a fleet in the Mediterranean to keep them from performing a naval landing.
I actually do want them to do that. Alexandria is (or at least will become) a very fat trade node so I need to conquer Alexandria as well as that would greatly boost my income and allow me to field more mercs. If I hold it, that means that I hold the entire desert region around it, which means that I will be able to position forts in such a way to specifically trap an army between them and let them rot from the desert attrition. If they could land half of their army there as you said, I pretty much win the war because the other half can't do shit at the North

Additionally, to build a counter-fleet to their massive fleet I'll have to have both Naval ideas, and I can't afford either because I need Leadership, Defensive and Mercenary ideas first

there is a (relatively) trusted russian site (cs.rin.ru) that hosts most of the latest paradox games. you need an account to visit the site.

alternatively, you can use a torrenting host site, like piratebay.
to use it you will need a torrent-program like μ or bit torrent.
simply follow the instructions of the pirate.

they are either unemployed because they cannot sell it (probably not the case if you have fully employed coal-demanding factories) or because it is not profitable to sell it (also does not seem like the case).

could it be that you are the sphereling of a country that produces lots of coal? that would explain it.

unfortunately it's like this with all these "brainstorming"-stage games. the """developers""" spend a ridiculous amount of time discussing about the vision of the game and keep coming up with ideas and plans about how it's going to be or end up.

of course an actual developer would waste no time at all talking about these pointless stuff. he would immediately start the development, adding population and population needs (goods) isn't rocket science. as a development can take years, the sooner it starts the better.

You're not even including leap years into your calculation.

It doesn't matter, he said 2050, not "in 33 years"

>What were the original restrictions, and what made the breakaway state so bad? You defeated them all pretty easily.
The original restrictions were a new dynasty, which was pretty much impossible or too RNG, so I thought that instead of restarting the same campaign 10 times until I get lucky I'll just remove this trash mechanic. The mechanic itself split Persia completely after every succession. I don't even understand how someone sit and wasted his time to code such illogical trashy mechanic that does nothing but penalize an already weak (70 pops at start) nation

>You defeated them all pretty easily.
Yes, because they were freshly-spawned nations with no army that I instantly declared war upon. What you don't see in those pics is me losing most of my small amount of manpower constantly due to having to siege my own provinces with every succession

How accurate are Victoria 2's population statistics at the start?

If you want to remove the cuck event from EU4 go to game folder>events>consort events.
Then find the cuck event (next to last currently) and change MTTH to 9000. It will make it significantly less likely to fire. If you don't want it to fire at all you can even delete it. The last is also a cuck event, you might want to do the same.

It doesn't accurately represent tibetan slave population

>>184171781
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say pretty darn accurate if you're playing HPM. If you're playing Vanilla you could probably just make up numbers yourself for how accurate Paradox probably is.

>>184171781
Not very much.Finding accurate population census (as well as deciding what should represent a POP) is impossible for certain areas

is Zanzibar good for colonizing? or are the RGOs shit? I dont want to waste some infamy on some shit lands
