Yeah good progress, as said the game really flows once you get past the initial wall of "wtf is going on here".

So if you send a ship to explore with an explorer and the ship dies, the explorer dies.
So I sent my incompetent king leading 1 regiment onboard 1 boat across the Pacific Sea.
It died 2 tiles from the shores of the USA, according to plan.
King didn't die, he's still available as a leader.
So according to this game my King swam across the pacific sea, from the coast of america to malaysia.
Godamnit...
I've found that the only times a king dies is when you absolutely don't want him to die. If he's a shitty mentallcy incapacitated ruler he'll swim two laps around the Earth before he even considers passing his reign on to his heir.
Kind of always want an administrative republic just for that, so annoying being stuck with a shit ruler.

modded the game to play as Flanders in 1399
its now 1451 and I have carved out pretty much all of Belgium, inched out a victory against an English doomstack (and proceeded to beat England into submission until I finally annexed them, thanks to Danish opportunists) and even sent in a force to vassalize Sicily and have a random territory in Aragon. Now I have like 80 war exhaustion and riots are breaking out everywhere. Like a boss.

amen to that. had a string of 7+ admin rulers as Japan in my years leading up to westernization. maybe a few months before i could finally westernize (waiting for my stab to get back to +3 after changing NI), the latest one dies after only 8 years in power. leaves an heir of 3 admin who was only 6 years old. had to sit through 12 years of regency to get a useless ruler who's son was 5 admin.
set back my westernization by about 25+ years. luckily i rushed gov 11 and noble repub came knocking after about 6 months of the 5 admin ruler.

It's a shame the AI isn't that great... as in it's fucking retarded.
Go to war with anyone, just run around and cap things in their territory, if you just manage to get 4 or more provinces they'll run around trying to recap their own provinces whilst dying from attrition/war exhaustion.
Endgame (1650+) and if you haven't already "won" you're so big that nobody can even begin to threaten half your terretories, banking 100k manpower. The problem is that Sea battles are so overpowered and badly implemented that if you've killed someones huge armada once, they're basically fucked for the rest of the game... meaning that if you have any island (england, asia, africa, etc) you're invulnerable.
It should've been harder to find ships on the ocean or whatnot for more sneak attacks... it's a joke that I can chase down 20 French ships in a godamn ocean... how the hell do I find them?
Point is: AI is to bad to pose any challange after the first couple of hundred years.

My game as Castille now is going very well. While the game was getting kinda dull for a moment, getting explorers and conquistadors made it interesting again. Also a funny thing happened, around 1440 Finnish people rebelled against Sweden and got independent. Immediately when I noticed it, I saved the game so that when I get bored of Castille I'll load that game and see if I can lead the Finns to glory.

Hi guys,
I've been playing my first game of EU3 as Huron, and I've been at war with France multiple times, until they finally offer white peace, but enough is enough so I come to ask help.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/IaVsN.png)
Soooo, what should I do guys? My economy is great, my tech (at least Land tech) is ahead of times. Playing on normal. I have no navy whatsoever because I don't have any land next to the sea so I can't go take Paris.
PS : Also, why am I losing troops by merely moving? Any way to counter that?

1. take what you can get, you might need it
2. you lose troops in enemy territory because they starve there is a tech that need like 50 or so in trade that reduces this by 50%

before you accept white peace (which is a shitty deal considering what i see on the map)...
1. what is your land tech vs theirs? you can see theirs when you click a french province and it should be on the bottom left panel.
2. are they in any other wars on the european mainland?
3. what's their stability at?
4. what's your manpower at?
|
Thank you for 2., it works pretty well now.
But for 1... They don't want to give me anything! They're only at 8% and I have all their damn territory... Their army is home in Europe and they won't bring it for me to smash it...
edit :
1. I have 36, they have 31.
2. Nope
3. +3
4. Low right now, but max of 31k. I win by better tactics most of the time, and tech it seems.
|
just keep the provinces occupied after a while they will start giving you better deals
|
Also, the game won't allow me to build armories, so that's why I have low manpower. Is that a bug? I have now 39 land tech. (the icon is black)
|
might be a bug or might be because you are american native. I really dont know
|
Thank you for your advice guys

I'm quite happy with the result, especially since I started with shitty tech.

so why is it that the enemy can drop armies from their navy to my land but I cant do that, meaning I cant attack an island

When you select a navy with an army in it, the army is in the top right of the naval unit page which you have to select. Then once you've got the army selected you can tell it to land.

When in war, just always look at the "War Exhaustion", if you're way bellow them just keep the war going, once they get 10+ their entire nation will start to crumble. But watch out, the longer you're at war the more likely others are to backstab you and if you got high Infamy you might get some bad events even if your war exhaustion is low but you continue for a long time.

Make sure you've built transport boats aswell (they're the smallest and most shitty-combat naval unit)

You can set troops to hunt rebels as of the beta patch...
I'm playing as Milan, I just fought against a massive Austrian invasion (they have luck, so shitsucks), they also brought their allies in Denmark, and France, but I somehow managed to fend them off and get a white peace. I also recently vassalized Morea and I got an event that gave me a core on Switzerland, which I then proceeded to take from them. I'm planning to become Orthodox Christian, for shits and giggles, also to avoid getting excommunicated all the bloody time. My capital will be Athens I think. I'm also going to form Italy, of course. I have Naples and Epirus in personal unions. Morea, Ferrara, Genoa and Tuscany are my vassals.
I just got the Lux Stella event... First time for me. I think I'll go with Alexander.
Anno the god's year 1433

Oh and I edited the Hunting Accident event to say "Stop Lurker Accident" instead. The two options being "Fucking zerg imba" and "Jaedong overtakes you". Makes me smile rather than rage, these days.

Hey guys, just a quick question.
Is it possible to edit the settings file of this game so that, when you get into a war with a country and conquer all their territory, it's possible to completely annex their entire country even if they are a big country? In the actual game, your forced to force-secede them into giving you pieces and pieces until they are small enough for you to complete-annex them. This just doesn't seem realistic to me. If you conquer their entire country, then you should be able to annex their entire country in 1 war.
Can anyone teach me how to do this? I have divine winds and latest beta patch.

The advantage an army can get from just a few levels in ground is absolute horseshit.

"A couple of Land levels"?
You realize a "couple of levels" can be over 100 years of tech difference, right?
