EPTand as few have noted the ai is a moron and the game is only really fun in multiplayer once you start getting a hang of it. The ai cant handle rebels so ai controled nations split up easily, the ai cant handle inflation so later in the game they get outteched like hell. The ai tends to just put there army to siege 1 of your provinces in war so they are pritty easy to handel.

Is there any game that can give me an easier introduction to the genre? Any tips? EU is probably the easiest introduction you get compared to the other Paradox Studio games maybe give total war shogun 2 a try first | ||

How is the learning curve though? Is it as difficult as going from D to C on iccup? Are there any sites that give good guides for this game? | ||

Are there any sites that give good guides for this game? you have to learn some basic stuff about how to manage your economy but after that a lot of the game is purely situational and depending a lot on what country you play | ||

Don't go "What if" because it's not a "what if", it has everything to do with Terrain, Generals talents, Army Tradition, Moral Bar, combination of troops, Troop exhaustion on the tile, who is attacking and defending, etc. | ||

-As far i understand the 0/0 shock 1/1 moral inf is just moral buffer for my cav, so during fire and shock on defense they soak up some damage/moral damage... but do pretty much zero themselfs -And the 1/0 shock 1/0 moral infantry seems only useful for sieging, since 0/0 shock infantry doesnt do any damage pretty much on siege.. might kill like 50 from 1000... but these weak moral shock inf will actualy do siege casuality damage... But what i want to understand is if u were to pit these 2 types of in against each other on plain ground, same bonuses from generals etc which would beat one another? | ||

This bugs the heck out of me.. That's completely irrelevant. It's like saying who would win, unstoppable force or immovable object. If anything I guess the 1/0 1/0 guy since he's presumably attacking but it's completely irrelevant in actual game sense. | ||

In equal circumstances one must be better the other other i just wish i could find information as to how when u lose moral during a fight how it effects casualities. As moral doesnt have an damage attribute but low moral units seem to take huge damage so there must be something somewhere about it... does anyone know the actualy specifics? | ||

So I am the Ottoman Empire which borders near these guys. It is, by design, absolutely impossible to annex their lands. But there is an option to colonize. The problem? It says the settler will arrive there in 1915. 1915. It is currently 1457 for me. This is a territory that borders my Ottoman lands. Half a millennium? What. The. Hell. So basically I cannot take over these nomad lands that border me, and instead I can only occupy their forts forever. Can anyone help me get these nomad lands? | ||
