I dont think that EU3 needs a strong internet connection, so if you found your way into the game feel free to join us. And ask here as many questions as you want we'll try to help you out.

Yeah, we will see. Just started my first game as Brandenburg. 60-70 years have passed and I'm at least still living. Also got a province from the HRE but other than that, it doesn't look like I will get anything else. Everyone has a trillion alliances and guaranteed freedom. England, Poland, Austria, Bavaria etc etc, pretty much everyone, wants to be my ally, for whatever reason. But I don't really want to get dragged into a war. Also, I'm quite good with prestige, always between 40 and 50.
The problem is that I have...like no idea how to govern properly. And for whatever reason, my army can never be at 11k when my support is the lowest. It's always stuck at 10k(so every regiment has like 950 men). And when I lose soldiers, it takes forever to replenish them, even with full support.


at low maintenance, replenish rate is decreased. at the lowest maintenance, there's no replenishment at all. this applies for both land and naval troops. if you're at peace, you don't really need them to be at high maintenance anyway.

You misunderstood me. At the lowest maintenance/support, I actually lose men because it goes from 11k to 10k. And I would like to know why because I'm not over the limit or something. And when there is war and I'm in a neighboring territory, it only replenishes 80 man per month, even at full support and enough men in reserve.
Also, is there a good way to lower inflation, apart from the advisor?

you probably lose people because your are over the limit of soldiers that the province you placed your army in can support.
Only way to decrease inflation is through the national bank idea, events or the advisor

have you put all 19 units on a single province? didn't think you can get attrition damage in peacetime in one of your own provinces, but maybe that's a possibility. as for replenishment, i'm not too sure why but you can check your replenishment rate by hovering your mouse over the manpower indicator at the top left. see what it says about the rate, and it may give you an idea of what's going on. 80 does seem awfully low at full maintenance.

11, not 19...and yes, they were all in the same province. Yeah, it's so annoying. And why is it that when you go for full support, the troops become red/yellow for 2 months before they are back to green? Why can't they just stay green, I'm just upping the morale after all =/

Well, 100 years over so far and I'm still alive. Also allied Bohemia for a short while, led a war, annexed a province and made two new vasals...which I annexed as well, at least one of them. Too bad the new territory isn't directly connected to my other ones. Guess I have to wage more war. I just hope Poland, Austria, Bohemia and the others will leave me alone D:

Hm, makes sense, I guess.

Also, how do you change your religion? And are there more forms of government? There is only one other available at the moment...but then again, I have no idea what's good anyway.

Austria and Poland are getting bigger but it's not that bad at least. Poland got the mission to attack me though...which kinda sucks. I got another province from the HRE and have three which give me infamy now.
Another thing: Is it good to not have a port? I don't intend to take a territory with access to water to protect myself from Sweden, England etc(in case they ever want to attack me).

Ok, one more question. I left the trade alliance and want to build a trade center myself...where do I do that? It's not in the building menu or anywhere there.

I dont think that EU3 needs a strong internet connection, so if you found your way into the game feel free to join us. And ask here as many questions as you want we'll try to help you out.

Yeah, we will see. Just started my first game as Brandenburg. 60-70 years have passed and I'm at least still living. Also got a province from the HRE but other than that, it doesn't look like I will get anything else. Everyone has a trillion alliances and guaranteed freedom. England, Poland, Austria, Bavaria etc etc, pretty much everyone, wants to be my ally, for whatever reason. But I don't really want to get dragged into a war. Also, I'm quite good with prestige, always between 40 and 50.
The problem is that I have...like no idea how to govern properly. And for whatever reason, my army can never be at 11k when my support is the lowest. It's always stuck at 10k(so every regiment has like 950 men). And when I lose soldiers, it takes forever to replenish them, even with full support.


at low maintenance, replenish rate is decreased. at the lowest maintenance, there's no replenishment at all. this applies for both land and naval troops. if you're at peace, you don't really need them to be at high maintenance anyway.

You misunderstood me. At the lowest maintenance/support, I actually lose men because it goes from 11k to 10k. And I would like to know why because I'm not over the limit or something. And when there is war and I'm in a neighboring territory, it only replenishes 80 man per month, even at full support and enough men in reserve.
Also, is there a good way to lower inflation, apart from the advisor?


have you put all 19 units on a single province? didn't think you can get attrition damage in peacetime in one of your own provinces, but maybe that's a possibility. as for replenishment, i'm not too sure why but you can check your replenishment rate by hovering your mouse over the manpower indicator at the top left. see what it says about the rate, and it may give you an idea of what's going on. 80 does seem awfully low at full maintenance.

11, not 19...and yes, they were all in the same province. Yeah, it's so annoying. And why is it that when you go for full support, the troops become red/yellow for 2 months before they are back to green? Why can't they just stay green, I'm just upping the morale after all =/

Well, 100 years over so far and I'm still alive. Also allied Bohemia for a short while, led a war, annexed a province and made two new vasals...which I annexed as well, at least one of them. Too bad the new territory isn't directly connected to my other ones. Guess I have to wage more war. I just hope Poland, Austria, Bohemia and the others will leave me alone D:


They don't stay green because you are upping the max morale, it takes them a few months to go from the morale they have to the max morale.

Hm, makes sense, I guess.

Also, how do you change your religion? And are there more forms of government? There is only one other available at the moment...but then again, I have no idea what's good anyway.

Austria and Poland are getting bigger but it's not that bad at least. Poland got the mission to attack me though...which kinda sucks. I got another province from the HRE and have three which give me infamy now.
Another thing: Is it good to not have a port? I don't intend to take a territory with access to water to protect myself from Sweden, England etc(in case they ever want to attack me).

Ok, one more question. I left the trade alliance and want to build a trade center myself...where do I do that? It's not in the building menu or anywhere there.


european nations can change their religion when the reformation starts.

you get infamy of 0.25 per year for every HRE province you control and have no coreprovince in. You will have to sit through this if you want to form germany.

a port is good to have but playing as Brandenburg means that you wont have time to do major overseas conquest anyway. Concentrade on Europe.

To build a trade center you have to click on your province where you want to build it and then there is a small button above the button which tells you where this province is trading to.
Building a trade center will cost you 500 gold and I would recommend you to refrain from doing so as brandenburg. It will cost you too much and yield small profits because everybody around you will still trade through Lübeck. Which means your Center of Trade will be worthless.

I read on the Paradox forums that it was game mechanic to prevent players from abusing the army maintenance slider. If there were no penalty players would simply set it at the lowest setting for most of the game and wait until they were at war to jump it back to max; so essentially players would just have two slider settings, one for absolute minimum, one for absolute maximum, and ignoring everything else between.

you probably lose people because your are over the limit of soldiers that the province you placed your army in can support.
Only way to decrease inflation is through the national bank idea, events or the advisor

That says 19 though :S
Hm, not too many possibilities, wish there were more.


well you can always disable it in options. Imo the research hit is enough to keep me from minting too much. No need to fuck my economy completely.Also it makes gold crazy valuable, so those few gold provinces are what's gonna get you somewhere

You wait until Austria gets in over its head and take part and get a slice of that pie. That or you get a bigger army than them.

Does anyone have some tips for starting as one of the Japan clans? I tried it but I just felt so broke all the time and there never really seemed to be a good oppertunity to go to war with another clan.

Start as the Green guys. You can invade the blue guys without any problem since you have a larger navy and they can't cross into your territory across the straits. After them, it's easy riding really. Just basic warfare and spreading out your troops across territories for mass sieges.

You can get CB's either from sending spies (GET NINJAS ASAP) to tarnish their reputation, or by taking an event in the Shogunate tab which basically gives you CB against everyone. But the former is better IMO.
