Guys I have a little problem. How does westernize actually work? Trying to westernize the Roman Empire in D&T, according to the tooltip I have all requirements, the little letter button is green, so it should be all fine and dandy, but every time I click it nothing happens, and I lose no stability. The tooltip moves around to different random cities that will receive the extra 1 base tax, and that's about it. It seems like the base tax effect actually happens though lmao. Is this a known bug? I've actually never westernized before O_O | ||

It wasn't available as Byzantines, as I wasn't far enough behind in tech, and then like a year later when I make the roman empire it's all of a sudden available. | ||

However, my empire went eastward... not westward... so I had very little cores required to form Germany. How do you guys make images of your game maps? | ||

How do you guys make images of your game maps? If I remember correctly, you have to move your capital if you want to form Germany when starting as Teutonic Knights. One of the requirements is having your capital in Brandenburg (and being of Prussian or Saxon culture). On the plus side, their requirements for forming Prussia are dirt cheap -- they already have all the provinces in 1399, they just have to become Protestant or Reformed. It was rather annoying as Brandenburg to see them forming Prussia before I ever had a chance to. It doesn't help that their capital province is one of the requirements... You basically have to annex them. >_> | ||

Horses don't grow on trees after all. Even if the french have 100k cavalry. | ||

if you are taking penalities for being ahead of your time with tech its probably worth taking some money so you can build more upgrades (assuming you get enough magistrates from soi) 5/6 buildings are op. 20 colleges = 1 magistrate a year if the province is too poor to be worth building on, but tier 5/6 trade buildings give global bonus's so i just spam them all day every day, 200 production effeciency yeeee | ||

When you get the longbowman you're basically already ahead from the cavalry, and the cavalry won't change until the 1600s. | ||

You can form Prussis as long as you don't lose any of your starting cores. This optiin comes up in the 1400s. As far as Gemany, you need cores in typically german provinces. You do not need to change religion or capitals for prussia or germany as TO. Unfortunately I didn't know about changing capitals tp form russia or so. = ( | ||

If you look at their dots they're almost always inferior to infantry. When you get the longbowman you're basically already ahead from the cavalry, and the cavalry won't change until the 1600s. The way cavalry works is simple: your tech level gives a certain tech level modifier. At early levels, infantry as a modifier of .05 fire and .5 shock, and cavalry has .05 fire and 1.2 shock. So when you have 2 dots of longbowmen, its actually 2 dots x .5 shock = 1.0 shock damage. Whereas cavalry have 1 dot at 1.2 shock, = 1 x 1.2 = 1.2 shock damage, making them superior to longbows. Similarly they have 1.2 shock damage resistance. Cavalry are almost always superior to infantry until at least the 1700s. That being said, cavalry take double penalties from terrain (meaning if they are trying to cross a river for example they will get -2 instead of -1 to their roll) and are also fiendishly expensive. However, cavalry is still good to have. If you have at least 4 units of cavalry in the battle, you get a flanking bonus (as two untis of cavalry are positioned on each of your army's flank) which gives them a huge amount of damage to reflect the importance of flanking attacks (see for ex. Battle of Cannae with Hannibal). If you have cavalry = to about 50% of your infantry, you also get a combined arms bonus. As for artillery, artillery shoots from the back row, giving half their fire damage and taking no shock damage until all your infantry and cavalry are dead. So if you adopt a defense-oriented infantry and artillery, this can be very effective. Personally I love using shock-based infantry. | ||
