If you go to the Divine Wind page on the steam store, you can view the packages it's in and one of them will be chronicles, so just click the chronicles package and it takes you to the main page for it.

When I load the game on Steam, am I supposed to load Vanilla, Hier, or Divine?

I'm pretty sure if you buy on Steam it's all just one game.

I've had this since vanilla came out and only manage to finish 1 game(I've played the game easily 40+ days). How do you guys do it? I have no patience to wait for AI to catch up and no matter who I play as I always manage to be absolutely dominating everyone by 1550. Should I turn AI agressiveness up? They need to make the game harder.

That 1 game I did finish though...man...made me love Prussia forever. Teu->Pru game and I had 200+ discipline. Killed over 1 million French troops in a 25 year war while I only lost just under 100k. Silly frenchmen attacking into the carpathian mountains.

I recommend this game to anyone who loves thought provoking game or history.

What I generally do is switch nations every ~100 years. I'll build up a nation hardcore until like 1500, and then switch to one of the countries I fucked over and try to come back and take down my old nation or do something of that sort.

That sounds fun!

What I'm doing right now is an all-diplo game as Brandenburg where I can only take cores or inherit provinces or do the thing with the HR emperor taking a province from non HRE and gaining a core. Basically only taking provinces that will be insta-cored or already cored. it's really helped slow me down. If only I didn't get so lucky with PUs...

All of the DLC content simply adds onto the vanilla game so you're not missing anything if you don't play the previous versions. Go for divine.

How do sieges/assaults work? I don't seem to notice a province % for occupying an enemy province, it seems I have to just assault it over and over again to occupy the province.

And what exactly is the ideal way to use my merchants?

Infantry and shit like Cannons when you get them are the only things involved in sieges. Cavalry is utterly useless in them.

You need to have more infantry at the siege than in the garrison to successfully siege it.

Never assault unless walls are breached, you waste your men and morale to a counter attack from the enemy. It's basically a waiting game. The general strategy is to just go over a province, press "Detach Siege", it will leave enough infantry there to do the siege and you move on and do that until you cover all the provinces.

EDIT: On the top right there is this little square button tab thing that opens up a tab on the right side of your screen. It will show how far into the siege you are in terms of percent on it, that should help.

I've been meaning to get it for a long time. Played EU2, HOI1+2 and VIC:R to death. Currently waiting for them to patch VIC2 so it's properly balanced. Guess I should try to buy my first game on steam in the meantime, then. :q
1000 at least.

I'm definately a noob at this game but I did notice that if you click on provinces of someone youre at war with you get the option to use a spy which opens a dialogue box with lots of diferent options to chose from.

You use 1 diplomat to conduct diplomatic action with other countries.

Spies are used to fuck people up. There's really no use for them unless you are at war with a country, in which you use all 5 of your spies to cause 5 revolts in their territories and continue to do so as you generate spies to fuck them up and spread out their forces.

Was playing Austria and it was firstly somewhat boring (not compared to some of the smaller states, Somalia was the funniest yet but most of these countries just suck as a beginner, sure I win against the other african nations but when I have rebels keep spamming in every square inch of my empire)
anyway as I was saying I was Austria and had some war with Venice to try and snag their trade port and get a harbour... ofcourse now I know their fleet can block venice forever so that was screwed, instead I took the whole of Swizz in an epic maneuver which I had to reload twice to perform.

What started to ruin my game here was that there is some dumb ass feature where the leader for the empire can constantly (1-3 times per year) demand a piece of empire land from you and take it as his own... this is fucked up and I googled about it and it seems they demand it even if you're not even part of the empire or even the godamn European culture.

What it does is you get option A and B
A: Lose the province.
B: Lose 5 prestige and 1 godamn stability.
What the hell? Why would I lose stability because some other nations think I'm an asshole? When the game freaked out on me and 20 nations declared war on me my stability didn't decline but this feature overrules all that. You could argue that I'm in the empire and blabla well why does it effect muslim khans aswell?
Sadly a game breaking feature when playing any of the empire states since you basically can't play your own game but instead have to play it in a specific manner, I don't agree with that since we get the option of choice for a reason.
I declared war on the leader of the empire (my big neighbor country of Bohemic with it's 1 ally and 2 vassals), none of my allies join me which is understandable, but what frustrated me is that I manage to beat his armies in a spectacular fashion whilst defending my own crumbling empire from rebels and war fatigue.

And yeah I understand that the AI won't give you everything even if you conquer every province he has, especially not if he knows how bad your economy is. But when I had done all this and I was really on a high here, feeling awesome and like a true militaristic genius, you know what happens?
He gets to keep 4 territories, I get 3, he leaves 2 of his vassals etc.
...

...
One month later, he does the empire demand thingy, at this point my stability is -1 (was 3, then he demanded a province which I promtly said no to, -1, then he did it again and again so I reloaded to the first occasion, said no, and went to war, good relations and no ratio belli; -2, -1 and the previous -1.)
So I'm at -1, I can't say no anymore and I have no possibilities of building a new army whilst holding away rebels that are popping up due to residue war fatigue.
In 3 months he demands 4 provinces.
I just felt cheated by a lame godamn feature in the game, I would've taken it if it was the whole godamn holy roman empire declaring war with me and I went down in a blazing glory fighting 20+ nations left and right... but this just felt so fucking unfair and wrong. I did good, I did what I had to do, I did it knowing how grave my economy and reputation would suffer ("You are a asshole" or something like that) and what kills me is not any of this but that fucking empire bullshit, and what pains me is that had I been a country outside of the Holy Roman Empire it would've killed me aswell so I couldn't even accept it as part of the mechanic of being part of the empire.


TLDR:
Holy Roman Empire mechanic is fucking retarded.
Still a fun game and I'll play other nations, but seriously fuck Bohemia.

Were you taking provinces? The HRE takes provinces that you take, usually unlawfully in war or something. I personally think it's dumb as fuck and give myself the 5 prestige and 1 stability back with a console command every time it happens since it's a broken mechanic.

Alternatively you can just delete the unlawfull imperial shit modifier from the common files.

EU3 is one of the best strategy games ever. I can recommend Victoria 2 also, same concept, for those who likes a bit more modern era. (Right before world war 1).

Its actually really easy to avoid. Just get bad relationsship with the emporer through insults or something and leave the empire with the conquered provinces. He wont demand it back. Costs builder guy.
