That losing ironman bug is really awful. I eventually just deleted my ruined save with a lot of tears.

I've just experienced that feeling again when you westernize and realize you didn't grab a low tech vassal to feed before it finished.

First one-tag wc already done in the new patch with Ottomans.

https://www.reddit.com/r/eu4/comments/3a1ip1/the_world_on_a_stick_112_onetag_world_conquest/

I think I'll try one as well this time.

I tried it and failed. Still decently happy with the result though since it was the first time I went for a world conquest and I got it. Was pretty close to a one tag as well.

[image loading]

I made a couple of mistakes which cost me the one tag. I started integrating my vassals too late so I was left with Denmark as my vassal. The only way I could have still one tagged it was releasing them as a vassal and killing them like that but if I did that I was not sure if I would've had enough admin to make it a world conquest since I also had to thruce break on the last 2 countries. So instead of taking the gamble for a 1tag and not getting the world conquest I went for the achievement.

I also took quantity waaay too late, I never realised how fucking good it is untill I took it.

I was also quite unlucky that I got 4 long regencies which totally screwed up my thruce timers for the coalitions in Europe. It made it near impossible to expand in Europe untill late in the game. Development is pretty ridiculous in the late game though since almost all provinced in Europe had 30+ development.

Constitutional government is the worst government form ever for big countries. Every seat gives you +WE cost and + stab cost. You don't really get the benefit either since you have so many seats which makes it impossible to win any vote. I changed back to absolute monarchy as fast as I could...

Lastly I got a sick ruler who ruled from his 15th till his 72nd.
edit: If the ruler afer that had good admin stats I might've gotten the one tag as well but nothing you can do about it =/. He only had 2 admin.

Saw that on reddit, congrats

For my first WC, which nation is the best? I'm trying to decide between Castile, Austria, France, and the Ottomans. Leaning towards Castile because of the free integration which allows you to grow massively into expensive areas (italy, North Africa)

Austria is best from sanity perspective, not sure how fast revokes are possible now but anything before 1550 should work.

You can return a province to reduce your OE if you have Common Sense DLC.

Depends , combat ability increases the damage your troops do , morale decreases the damage you take , and discipline counts for both. if the majority of your army is infantry , +20 Infantry combat ability beats out +5 discipline

from most to least important id rank the modifiers like this: military tactics <- army tradition <- discipline <- morale/combat ability modifiers <- moral recovery speed

discipline is indeed a modifier on damage taken(which is divided by your discipline) and dished out(multiplied by your discipline)(both normal and morale),
but morale increases your total morale and morale damage(and does not affect normal damage), combat ability increases damage done(both morale and normal)

This, if you have another national morale boost like France or Prussia, morale gives you super fast and easy stackwipes, especially coupled with morale boosting military level advantages (18 f.e.).

I can't recommend Castile for a WC. The first years as them are atrocious. You have a hard time to get reasonable alliances, and there is no cost effective way to expand early. The north african provinces are a waste of admin points and basically dragyou down massively if you go into that direction. Portugal is a good ally, but you want to ideally kill him as fast as possible to stop him from colonizing. Aragon hates your guts and you don't want to waste a war on them to get them for free with the iberian wedding. England is a terrible enemy due to the naval dominance it has. And you have to take the war to France as you won't reach england if you don't. And all those provinces are stupid expensive + the HRE is right next to you, so you can't take much in peacedeals or they will coalition you.

And at the start, all of your neighbours have better generals then you, so every war is really really expensive. Also, there are a ton of really bad events to fire as well to slow you further down. The start is really really painful.

My vassal hasn't built any unit since I've released them 70years ago. It's bad enough that vassals often can't attach to me, but not doing anything for that long? -_- Could it be because their forcelimit is just 2? They certainly have the income and treasury to build units.

Vassals can be really shitty. When you feed them too much land they just don't want to core it =/. AI should rally be improved in this game.

Yeah, the AI is bad and strange.

It seems like sometimes the AI wants to do something, if it then can't do that it just deadlocks and trys again and again until the day it finally decides to do something else because its priorities changed.

I don't know if that's because you can do a lot more things than when EU4 started, but I feel like the AI got worse not too long ago, like it went from decent to awful.

Yeah I haven't felt as much of a challenge ever since that thing where you can't cancel movements past halfway anymore.

Its just far too easy to bait the AI into attacking with -2 or worse odds by just baiting them with a small stack. You always could do this, but you used to have to wait for the AI to start engaging your smaller stack to move your large army to help, sometimes suffering stack wipes or heavy losses before your main army arrives. Now, you can just send everything once they are halfway there and they get absolutely raped.
Yarr?

Yeh the halfway thing is too easy to abuse for human players. I feel like the fort system is a lot more beneficial to human players too.

Love mending the great schism after restoring the pentarchy. I think ET mod introduced it as a holdover from CK2, it's a really nice sucker punch to the papacy-disabled catholic region.
