Wow, this game used to be fun, now its just utterly boring. How does one make a game MUCH worse with time. Id rather play the original version lol. idk what are you smoking, original version of EU4 is by no stretch of imagination better than the current build. Like, you probably don't remember how many things would be missing without any of the expansions / expansion patches haha | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/06BwJm6.jpg) Do you guys think it is still somehow possible to get Reign in Northern Italy until 1490? Sadly I have a truce with the Papal State until April 1489 and Umbria as well as Roma still need to be conquered. So I think I will have to break the truce because 8 months until 1.1.1490 is possibly not enough, I guess. How would you go about this? Just improve relations with the most powerful nations so that they won't join a coalition against me and attack? | ||

its only 1484, id restart that run, and do these things differently: ---> why would u go for PU with both hungary AND bohemia so early? your AE is really precious when in hre AND you're stopping shadow kingdom, so you've basically wasted it on something that was waiting for you down the road nontheless (thru events) --------> hungary: considering i dont see any part of hungary bitten off, im assuming you didnt wait for "decline of hungary" and you went royal marriage->claim throne route, which is a waste of diplo spot, considering you could've been allied with much more useful poland(+lithuania)... -------> bohemia: if u RMed them too its also a waste of diplo slot cuz they get an event to change dynasties, and honestly ive never took any interest in them so i dont know if there's another way to force PU on them so early, but ive waited until i randomly got their habsburg event, so no AE wasted there, too. i almost felt bad taking them, cuz revoking privilegia resets them to normal vassal, and you'd be crazy to integrate something that is already yours when you restore imperii... ---> you might want to reconsider your ally choices. first 10 years i was in bed with france, before i jumped on them, made it a lot easier to beat pope and his best buddy aragon+naples. if you have to ally a prince, take milan, and save rest for non-HRE power players. you also stop >them< from taking land inside of HRE this way, which hurts your IA. with poland and france you never have to worry about anyone invading HRE until you're strong enough not to care, except denmark, which are pussies, so it doesnt count... ---> just from this picture i see siena gone, modena gone, lucca not released, anhalt gone, pomerania gone, brandeburg blobbed, freisland bloobed, hannover gone, gelre eaten, koln blobbed........... how are you getting any IA? when reformation hits, considering the size of some of your electors (for me saxony, brandeburg and bohemia all flipped -> but keeping them small made it easier and fast to enforce religion thru random war) and lack of princes (i never went under 45), i dont think you have any chance of establishing religious peace before league wars trigger. ---> dont give hungary balkan provinces, you literally wont have anywhere to expand yourself. coring/diploanexing inside HRE is waste of mana, so you can only go southern italy and balkans. naples land suck and can be taken very quickly after you stop shadow kingdom, so how do you ever plan to expand? ---> do you really need all those forts? ---> looks like you got burgundy. is it any good? i used them to beat down france, hoping they'd either die and id get them or id get france instead. got france. i regret nothing xD | ||

To reply to snailz's post the PU with Hungary was unintended. I married and allied them and their king died without an heir so they automatically became a PU without me doing anything. I usually PU Bohemia from the start and give them Polish land later on as they share a similar culture with Poland. The thing is in my previous games I didn't need to integrate them, because Austria inherited their throne later in the games. Suddenly they were gone and Austria was an Elector. For further expansion I planned to take Dalmatia from Venice and Ragusa from Bosnia and then continue the way south. Another thing I do is attacking Scotland without a casus belli and vassalize them to get a foot on Britain. I usually do this when Scotland is already weak and only consists of 2-4 provinces. As for France in this game I already fought them and made them cede Rethel, Artois, Picardie and Vermandois. That's where the high AE is coming from - together with an Imperial Ban on Provence to grab Barois. The Burgundian land came under my control, because the king of Burgundy died. You are right with the forts. There should have been less. What imperial reform do you get before the religious wars start? I usually get the second one and sometimes I make it to the third when I do not have to enable pragmatic sanctions and things go well. Well, I will restart this game now and try again. I'm playing version 1.15 btw. Thanks for your help guys. | ||

So I tried Dyme's idea but the warscore for both Roma and Umbria was too big to grab them all at once when I was in a war against Switzerland. Florence declared on the Papal State immediately after the peace deal where I took Umbria so I could not finish reign in northern Italy until 1490.

I'm playing version 1.15 btw. Thanks for your help guys. You should honestly have the 1st by like 1455, i can sometimes make it to 4 before reformation and heretics start making authority tick down, but its pretty rare. If you can union hungary its good since it makes beating smaller HRE states a whooooooole lot easier, but in general you want to take land off the bigger electors like bberg saxony and shit so you can force religion them later tbh. i never went below 50 princes i think when i played though, take as many states in northern italy and force vassal them, i think i was at like 8/5 diplo relations at times, and 5 authority per country that stays? pretty decent. if you can go to war with burgandy and make them give their starting capital to france it'll force them to move into the hre, which will give you an extra .05 per month or something as long as you keep the other states alive. as austria its all about keeping states high and going thru 3rd party wars i.e attacking an ally and forcing a big country to release another country. if you get a big reformation though its pretty much a done deal. i got lucky when i revoked(1640~) with a small one though. but if you get like 50 vassals you can honestly beat the entire world at once. | ||

You don't need someone to root out exploits, which only affect a vanishingly small amount of the playerbase. You need someone to actually bug test the game. It is frankly incredible that really obvious bugs from 1.13/1.14 still aren't fix. | ||

on a similiar note, when they introduced higher coring costs thru development, huge truce timers and similiar mechanics that were supposed to slow down the game, i remember starting my first game on that patch, i think it was chinese OPM, taking tibet wastelands, seeing the admin cost and insta-shutting down the game... it made me sick, because i felt it was aimed for multiplayer and not like 98% of the playerbase... i came back to it tho, playing western/eastern/muslim techs, which can support my early expansionist starts, the only ones i really find interesting. seeing DDRJake streaming mare nostrum yesterday morning, and what they did with the game, almost made me vomit. patch looks beyond awful. i have literally 0 intention of ever upgrading from cossacks, in current state of the game... worst thing about it, is that i feel this direction of development/design will continue. i went from a person recommending the game and using "you get a new expansion like every 3 months" as one of the biggest sells, to someone who doesnt believe half od campaign nations are playable anymore... and yes i know i may sound like a filthy casual, but that's the whole point... | ||
