Use just the base seige unit nessasary on each fort and have the rest of the army loot the countryside without attrition. that and mercenaries as the seige unit when you dominate a trade node or 2. | ||

On more funny note i recently noticed in the trust icon of other countries (i am playing Byzantium) it says: "Byzantium is a Human player and should never be trusted" oh how right You are my gentle Ai how right You are.... | ||

I think it's easy to forget how much AE you save by using the reconquest CB of vassals. This is really essential for blobbing super hard. | ||

When I was brand new to the game I would only ever use mercs in an emergency, like reinforcing a tough battle. Now I use them a lot more. I aim to use domestic cavalry and cannons and use mainly merc infantry. I don't know how good/cost-efficient that is, but it definitely saves manpower. edit - on a related note: does anyone do the army-cycling technique from Vic 2 in EU4? Does it actually work in this game? | ||

I always watch my AE very carefully and just improve relations with a few key countries that would form a coalition against me. Also, when the coalition has less than 3 members, they will never declare, so you really don't need to improve relations with everyone. When I did my one-tag (with an admittedly easy country), I never had any coalition against me and that game was constant conquest. I think it's easy to forget how much AE you save by using the reconquest CB of vassals. This is really essential for blobbing super hard. I can't think of that many good reconquest vassals - Novgorod / Persia / Aragon / Naples / Byzantium / Mamluks / Guyenne / Burgundy / Kazakh (lol steppelands who cares) are the only guys off the top of my head who consistently top 100 dev and either dont exist in 1444 or highly likely die in a fire. I guess you got exploded Ming but do you really want Ming as a vassal. | ||

I guess you got exploded Ming but do you really want Ming as a vassal. TO is pretty big too and Styria is awesome to get into Vienna, but even with smaller vassals you can save AE on at least a couple of provinces and you're getting a vassal to feed in general at the same time. Of course, it can come down to sheer luck if there's nothing appropriate. The Indian region is pretty violent, so there's often something you can pick up to feed, but in Central/Eastern Africa it could be hard to find one with more than 2 provinces. | ||

Edit: Stellaris unfortunately was just another MOO clone, and didn't really have that paradox magic at all. That said, I don't think paradox will top EU4 until EU5. I think HOI 4 will be fun, but I'll be really surprised if it's better than EU4, given the shorter time frame it has, and the fact that it'll most likely have much stronger 'railroading'. | ||

1.18 is certainly approaching Art of War level of an expansion if you ask me. Personalities sound likes an awesome addition to me, and it is also a buff to monarchies. | ||

current campaign is Pate Third Way (eliminate all Sunnis and Shias as Ibadi) on Very Hard difficulty. Featuring 320 regiments Russia, 280 regiments HREmperor Brandenburg, super Austria, and a 20 year war with Ottomans that went down to -50% warscore before I brought it back. | ||

 im trying out states&territories patch, playing ming, and basically going for that tentacle of knowledge strat, so i can westernize early. but knowing what new patch is bringing, its really hard to motivate myself, even tho i already decided i want to play a game where im completely OP, so i can finally reach the end date. whenever i get too big, i just start new game, so i thought i could help myself by starting too big xD not sure its working tho... | ||

If you're just looking to do the 1821 achievement, you could do a Poland run. Timewarp into space. | ||
