a reminder about ways to bypass AE mechanics - becoming a protectorate immunizes you to coalitions. You can do this by 100%ing a Western nation and forcing them to make you protectorate.

Only works for Muslim and below techgroups, obviously.

You can't protectorate Muslim countries.

Thanks for your replies. I tend to agree that AE was a bit soft in, at least, the QoP version.

I think I'm gonna give the next big version a go when it appears on a certain data distribution network of Swedish origin.

Johan might still end up with my money.

Basically Western tech can protectorate chinese and below while the eastern tech groups, be it muslin, eastern, indian, etc. can only protectorate african/american tech groups. Chinese nations cannot make them and hordes cannot be protectorates.

So it is something that doesnt really work out for most people and all requires quite a bit of planning and can backfire. You can easily lose your protectorate status if your overlord loses a war, you lose all your subjects the moment you become a subject, you can lose control of defensive wars since your overlord gets called into them, there are some limitations to subject nations, etc.

crunch time on Jake's Ryukyu WC - France by 1790?


Looking very tight for a WC. I don't think the entire world can be his without Vassals any longer. Hard to get it all as it is. Portugal is still large after he manages to cut down Spain.

He gave up on a single tag long ago, that is definatelly impossible. Finishing the Three Mountains is already fairly unlikely as it is.

I just started playing again, all these idea groups....

any suggestions for good ideas for Venice? Going to try to conquer every COT.

Pleasantly surprised my Ottoman headshot strategy still works, too.

by 1460 too, not bad and I can probably break kebab 4 years earlier if I wasn't sloppy with army control.

Why did you give Albania to Byzantium. Ain't it a Venice core ?

Army builder tool looks amazing! Thanks Paradox! (Hopefully we'll get something similar with mercs as well)

Rebel island relocation means more Gotland right?

hey guys, really got into playing EU IV after getting it some time ago in steam sale, played some hours and want to start ironmaning it up now, which countries would you recommend to a semi-beginner to start with?

Depending on how beginner you are.

The strongest (and thus usually best for beginner) countries are the major players like Ottomans, Castille, France, England, Austria.

Next would be medium sized countries like Venice, Denmark, Muscovy, Brandenburg, Portugal or bigger countries with some major problems like Poland.

As to no thread for CK2, here a question relating to that game

I am playing as a norse king with the old gods enabled. I wanted to make a prepared invasion of England before my first ruler dies, but i am already too big. So my plan was to grant my first son Ireland when he is 16, shrink down to only Norway and start the prepared invasion for that really nice CB + event spawned troops. The only problem:

After creating Ireland, i can only give my son one measly County. After he got it, it won't let me grant him anymore landed titles. Everyone one else in my realm, i can give the whole kingdom at once, but he can't receive a second county, he can't receive one of my duchies and not the kingdom. Is that a bug? Is it intended? Help

It's intended. Gavelkind succession means that the game will restrict what you can give to your heirs so that you can't game the succession laws by giving all your primary titles to your first-born son or whatever.

Nooooooooooo(oooo)! Oh well, i am past that point anyway Norse playthroughs are enjoyable but waaay too easy. Once you get rolling, there is only one thing stopping that wrecking ball. And that's host invasions :D I don't know if that's intended but i find it irritating that you now have more trouble with all of those rpg revolts/invasions then with your own vassals. Last succession i had not one single faction trigger, but 3 revolts at once. You can game your vassals, they are calculateable, but the random events are not so much..
