I've seen some enemy armies with little investment into cavalry; does it become obsolete against advanced artillery? | ||

past miltech 14 the ideal artillery amount is equivalent to your combat width. If you're going to be fighting exclusively in mountain terrain you'll need to factor in the combat width reductions. Full infantry troops are better then half-dead ones, so if possible devise some way to swap out your injured infantry during the fight. I just have full infantry reinforcement stacks following my main ones, then constantly consolidate and feed the fresh infantry regiments in. Probably not most efficient way of doing things but it does ensure you have full regiments up most of the time. | ||

They are 12 Tech levels ahead (16 to my 4) and yet I can't westernise. The wiki states the following westernization requirements: "Starting the westernization process requires the following conditions be met: One of the country's core provinces must be next to a western tech group neighbor's core provinces. All provinces connecting to the western tech group neighbor must be cored. One such neighbor must be at least 8 tech levels ahead (summed across all three tech types). No overextension. Steppe Hordes must reform their governments prior to westernizing. Natives of North America must be also Reform the Government before westernization." I meet all of those, could it be that there are more? (I have massive war exhaustion and -3 stab) edit: f5f5f5f5f5f5f55f5f5 come on guys I want that achievement | ||

3 times my troops and i basically pissed myself. Thank god Prussia is quite decent at fighting wars. Managed to get a 24% warscore whitepeace out of them, having lost only 1/3 of my manpower and no money. Feels good to finally know what i am doing. Well except for Diplomacy, cause obviously, i shouldn't have never gotten into that situation :D | ||

I have all of prussia, most saxonian, hannoverian and some central german provinces, PU with Lithuania and some german vassals. When France annexed Trier, i fought them and Hungary and won, got 3 provinces in the process. Somehow the aggressive expansion counted double though, and together with -50 from sabotage reputation (thank you Bohemia) with everyone, there is suddenly a coalition against me of...well everybody. When Frances truce ran out, i got declared a coalition war from France, Austria, Switzerland, Savoy, Tuscany, Aragon, Bohemia aaaaaaaaand the Ottomans. 3 times my troops and i basically pissed myself.

Well except for Diplomacy, cause obviously, i shouldn't have never gotten into that situation :D Honestly, they made aggressive expansion too punishing. They basically made it so that you HAVE to vassalize-wait-annex-wait if you want to grow more than one province at a time. That's not only unrealistic, it's anti-fun. It turns a large portion of the game into waiting, and makes it necessary to try to get as many diplomats as possible. Maybe PI has some design policy where they want blobbing/WC to be as difficult as possible, but AE as it currently exists is just silly. Half the game just becomes figuring out ways to avoid it. I want to start a new game. I'm thinking... of trying to recreate the knights hospitaller -> India strategy? Something like that Nah, BRITTANY | ||

Something like that Nah, BRITTANY Ming OPM strategy can core for tax x2 in cost, instant time. They can also afford relation improvement advisors and border so many different religions/cultures that AE doesn't limit you too often. A WC with that should be fully doable even with only a few vassals all game. Just check the bonuses you can switch between for 10 monarch points, should make WC easy. http://www.eu4wiki.com/Ming#Eunuch_Faction Edit, Discovered something when I cheated as a Northern American nation. You can't reform government if you are higher tech then the western nations you are bordering. Doesn't say in the text, westernisation I knew was limited, but reform government... | ||

If minghal, I am pretty sure, that it will get fixed in the next patch like pretty much any DDRJake shenanigans he comes across | ||

Sad you can never westernise without losing it. | ||
