I guess now that I think about it, I wouldn't really want to collect in 2 places most of the time anyway, with the main thing driving this question is I'm playing Denmark and want to collect in Antwerp. | ||

What's on there? just veritas et fortitudo mod ^^ the biggest and most famous mod in eu4, which in my oppinion did make this game sooo epic ^^ played 200 hours vanilla and 300 hours VeF so far and its ... you have to check it out  On October 04 2014 05:39 Dangermousecatdog wrote: What's so cute? That you've either modded, cheated or restored from crusader kings or all 3? Actually you've either cheated or modded for certain because there's no way you can colonise and annex this fast. So cute. it starts earlier thats how, and as i said its the most famous mod in the game ... i never cheat lol. also its not easier then vanilla, juts more stuff you can do 1000 more nations just more fun overall ^^ also 80% was vassalize and annex then, because its ofc not possible with the limited adm points just check it out urself you only need vanilla for this no dlc's: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?854-Veritas-et-Fortitudo-Mod | ||

It's just silly to dump a brag screenshot of a heavily modded game with no context. | ||

Plus, by definition, conquering large amounts of land in a short amount of time is easier if you have more time. Add the ~130 bonus years you got and that's an 1800+ screen. Byzantium at that that time period should also be more like playing Ottomans. As an endgame Ottomans screenshot, that map painting would be far less impressive. It's just silly to dump a brag screenshot of a heavily modded game with no context. with 386k ducats banked, it seems logical to infer that the economic snowball is even more present in this mod... at least in vanilla, you can generally find something to spend money on before 1700 (mass merc spam solve all problems). going to be starting a no-reform / no-Westernization Kazan game soon. Is Day 0 vs. Muscovy still the suggested strategy? I guess I could play it safe and reconquer the cores from GH, but Muscovy being lucky is near guaranteed to hit military 4 before me, so I guess I need to strike very fast. | ||

Though, TBH, it is very hard to limit snowballness without crippling early game. | ||

so what is suppose to happen now? yep you are right, peasent war! the next 5 years or so i fought against peasents and nationalists of different integrated nations but i manage to hold my country together, i lost the peasents war though and took the prestige hit. immediately after the war, savoy and austria declare war on me again to retake one of savoys provinces. because i am burgundy and took all the mercenary ideas in this game, i was able to quickly crush them with thousands of mercenaries and a relatively small stack of regular troops. i took two provinces in this war, but my manpower is down again and my legitimacy is still at about 65. what happens next? another peasent war.... at that point i just rage quitted. tl;dr too quick and careless expansion leads to two peasent wars in about 20 years time. hell yeah :x | ||

I own the Arrabian Peninsula, all Mamluk territory besides the ones with Ottoman cores (bloody wars were fought over these  ), basically all of East-Africa and most of India.I actually beat the Ottomans in the last 2 Wars they declared (but couldn't really profit from it aside from some Gold or/and pisspoor provinces... A full Invasion would take too Long at this point). So, i am allied with Russia for like 100+ years and finally wanted a land connection to my Indian provinces (would need to take about 4-5 more provinces from the Timus). Russia was stuck in a really long war with Ming and apparently in debt and basically out of Manpower (they never called me into this). So Russia won't join my war and i have to fight alone against Timus and JhalaXXXX (owns basically everything Indian thats not mine)... Not the easiest war ever but I have a good bank and i am a bit ahead in tech. Guess what... Russia, despite being in debt, probably damn near out of manpower and being a very long lasting ally of mine with relations above 150 for some reason decides to honor their alliance with the Timurids. An alliance that never made any sense. Russia fought with me against the Timurids several times, i helped them in wars in europe, i paied off some of their debt a while ago... ... I just ragequit... I probably could win this war but it just feels so damn stupid and doesn't make any sense from whatever direction i look at it. | ||

You have to be at peace with under 25% manpower for it to trigger. Don't peace out at low manpower. Also, merchant republics are immune to peasant wars. | ||

That the event happens twice in a span of probably 60 month were it could happen, that's kind of bad luck. | ||

What is a good way of getting a high army tradition? I have been thinking that getting the defensive idea as a 3rd or 4th idea to get the +1 yearly army tradition, but i feel like that isn't really that much in the grand scheme of things. | ||

The base decay is 5% of your current army tradition, thus with +1/year it will converge against 20 instead of 0 over time, and generally keep your army tradition at higher levels. So basically, don't think off it as "i get 1 per year", think of it as reducing the amount of decay your army tradition has, meaning that you will always have higher army tradition by ~20 points after the situation stabilized (a bit less, but too lazy to math), which will give you at least 1-2 pips more on each leader, 5 points of morale and a bit of manpower recovery and siege. Lateron, build a military academy and get a few other ideas, and you can quickly have constantly high amounts of military trad. | ||
