EPTI also got 21 basetax of free cored provinces at zero LA because of patriot rebels and me happening to have vassalized / annexed everyone in my culture group. Assam can into space.

Most of the time though it's better to let them do the converting for you, unless they absolutely cant handle their rebels. Is the "you cant save and our fix needs more than 2gb ram"-bug fixed? Cause I dont have more than 2 gig ram. Is this game even playable with 2 GB RAM? | ||

I dont have any problems at all aside from the "The game crashes when I try to get out of a running game"-bug, but I'm fine with that. I can play with max resolution (1200x1000 that is) and medium textures and dont care much about dynamic shadows in a grand strategy game. Then TAoW came up and I got three kinds of bugs at the same time, one which wasnt solvable without more than 2 GB RAM. So at the moment i'm stuck with 1.7.3 and happy I didnt buy TAoW yet. Edit: The current version 1.8.1 works. I had 2 crashes in a hundred years, I can live with that. | ||

Released OPM GH then went on a rampage of reconquest. | ||

Played Assam, ran over all my neighbors, already took out four of the bigger powers before 1500s (Bengal, Delhi, Jaunpur, Orissa), only 1 in coalition against me. That's the difference between a collection of same-religion, same culture group, HRE states vs a fragmented religion, multiple culture group, non-HRE ones | ||

That's the difference between a collection of same-religion, same culture group, HRE states vs a fragmented religion, multiple culture group, non-HRE ones Yeah exactly.. I think I'll only play in regions with religious and cultural diversity. You can take a piss on your neighbours and no opposition that matters will be formed. In contrast, you take a few carefully picked provinces in Western Europe, with claims, not even neccesarily within the HRE and it's like William III versus Louis XIV. I'm having so much fun in my Ottomans game. I get the idea of coalitions, heck if it were multiplayer I would be the first to join a coalition versus someone expanding too fast, but the way the mechanic works in Europe, accumulating more and more AE untilt he final cap of -1000, as it just doesn't deplete fast enough, is a gigantic fun killer for me. | ||

So, has anyone actually managed to do well as with the recent patches and DLCs? I am in 1560, just barely defeated my first colonial power but westernising is going to be completely nuts and if i don't, in 50 years i won't win a single battle anymore... Anyone any suggestions how to handle the situation? Edit: Also, why are England and Burgundy pulling tradepower from Chesapeake at 1444? That is really stupid  | ||

The min-Autonomy thing makes it harder to grow and it seems like they put in a range requirement for diploannexing making it impossible to get a foothold in europe early on.

You can core through occupied land  Edit: Also, why are England and Burgundy pulling tradepower from Chesapeake at 1444? That is really stupid direct result of WETN removal. | ||

No questions that the provinces Russia colonized in Siberia was autonomous for a long time, but it was brought under central administration over time | ||

Was playing as Brunswick (on AoW patch), wanted to form Hannover, form Germany, become reformed and dismantle the HRE. I was still Brunswick, had all the provinces required for Hannover, needed two from Brandenburg to form Germany because I was allied to them and hadn't found the time to turn on them yet. I was also allied to Austria to prevent me from dying to coalition wars and to prevent them from asking me to give land back. Ansbach had just eaten a lot of OPM's, so they got a coalition against them. I thought hey, nice timing, because the "Form Hannover" decision says you get a claim on the Germany region. So I form Hannover, declare the coalition war, and this is the best part: I get no claims and a -20000 distance between borders penalty with EVERYBODY ON THE WHOLE FUCKING MAP. Austria and Brandenburg break their alliances with me, coalition (including Denmark, Sweden and Burgundy) declares war on me. Fuck you, game. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Az7Htp8.jpg?1) 360 provinces 1214 total base tax. Commonwealth just formed because Poland got a lucky PU with Lithuania. Lithuania was pretty big, about 34 provinces. I'll use return core quite a few wars soon. Currently got 10 years of regency now, hoping to use that time to westernise and integrate vassals. Westernising seems to be quite easy, the extra unrest doesn't have to mean a single revolt will happen, but with 3500 manpower restoration per month I should be fine. Aside from Lithuania I think I'll vassalize Tunis on the African front, they have a fuck ton of cores there. On the admin side of things, I took administrative ideas just for the extra 25% core cost reduction, for a total of 58% reduction without claims, 83% with claims. Aside from Lithuania and Tunis I'm hoping to take as much of India, Indochina, Manchuria and the rest of Siberia , with 58-83% core reduction and hopefully some administrative efficiency soon, taking most of it should be doable if it doesn't turn into a coalition game. I am very behind on admin tech (like 6 compared to western countries), but with 14 admin points p/m, being westernized and having a lot of expanding through diplo points, hopefully I can catch up. Also my troops start to suck for some reason lol, I know Ottoman troops go from about the strongest to weak over time, but 1630 is probably too early. Might be because my generals suck despite decent army tradition. Not that it matters, Ghazi and Janissary events are pretty good for manpower and my force limit is at 260. It's good to play, probably, the easiest country in the game :D. | ||

I've stayed away from there on 1.8 since I think the area is broken with Japan getting its vassals CBs against each other. Be super opportunistic as a Daimyo and trust no one. Your Daimyo allies will accept aggressive call to arms against you, alliances don't mean much. Decrease autonomy and don't worry about rebels, they are Japan's job.  | ||
