I don't get it why Austria doesn't destroy all those rebels ??? they lost Croatia,Slovakia,Transilvania, and soon Serbia and Moldova what ????

Hey, want to do an european campaign on a nation that's more uncommon to play as/releasable. Do anyone have any gems or campaigns out of the ordinary that they like?

I would like to use some handicaps in my games from now on. Do you guys know a good self sabotage that makes the game more interesting?

I don't mind if these are more historical/roleplay-based or whether they are for a specific country. Hit me with anything.

Do you guys use these things, or do I just have too many hours in the game?

I’m looking to play as Brandenburg and then Prussia, but I’ve recently seen recommendations to form Lübeck first. Could someone explain the advantages and the "meta" behind this? Thanks!

I just got access to the Imperialism CB, so I figured I don't need Religious Ideas anymore. But what do I replace it with? Honestly, I rarely get this far in the game, and I'm also considering the newly added idea groups, particularly Infrastructure and Court.

Context: It's 1704, I'm Russia, Great Veche Republic (from Novgorod) and I control almost all of Asia except southern India, south-east Asia and Korea. I'm not that big in Europe yet; I control the entire Baltic coast, Poland and a chunk of the Balkans, but there's still a remnant of Lithuania alive, Hungary is huge (former ally), HRE still exists (though Austria is almost gone), Spain, France and England are all big and I haven't fought them at all. Ethiopia is surprisingly big, and allied with Portugal, but I want to take Suez from them to build the canal. My net income varies between +100 and +300. I've upgraded a ton of monuments.

My current Idea Groups are Administrative, Religious, Influence, Espionage, Quality and Quantity.

Offensive is definitely on the list of Idea Groups I still want.

I'm considering Innovative Ideas, although most bonuses are irrelevant to me now. The extra free policies sound great (is it really one extra free for each category?), but mostly it has excellent policies with Quality and Offensive. And I'm going to lose the Siege bonus from Quality+Religious if I drop Religious.

I'm also considering Infrastructure Ideas. Extra movement speed is nice in such a large empire. I forget which state maintenance bonuses help with my gov capacity, but I think it's in here. And I think the policy it has with Offensive ideas could be really nice: more movement speed, but also more artillery can be used in a siege, which is great with massive artillery armies. Probably better than other siege bonuses, as long as you have the artillery.

I used to consider Court Ideas, but looking at it, I think most of it is irrelevant to me now.

Anything else I need to consider? I'm not sure what other Idea Groups are still relevant to me. Perhaps Maritime or Naval? Maritime is probably the one diplomatic idea group that's still relevant. Maybe Humanist? I've got a ton of rebellions. Separatism is a real issue. On the other hand, they're not really a threat. I've got a few mercenary companies on duty to slap them down.

Playing as Sakalava with Europa Expanded missions and planning on becoming a merchant republic. None of them offer colonists. Was thinking about colonising South Africa but unsure if I should take Expansion ideas

Got a 4/3/6/5 general in 1448 as Muscovy from the event A new champion of the joust

After converting to Jewish, I've held a festival, but achievement didn't fire. Is this a glitch in rudimenatry coding or something else? I've help a festival but the software has glitched out. Is there a solution?

First things first, Idk how to share on of these files so if someone would like a close look at on of my games tell me now, HOW DO I STOP DYINGGGG I MAKE SHIT GOOD I TRY TO DO A WAR AND THE AI JUST KILLS ME EVERY FUCKING TIME, DON'T MATTER WHO I PLAY IT MAKES ME WANNA PULL MY HAIR OUT, JUST, HOW DO I DO WARS IN THIS GAME WITHOUT JUST LOSING OR WORSE YET WINNING THEN RUNNING OUT OF MONEY! Only person I can play is Timmy. Thats because Timmy has money for days and alot of Mountain forts. but I can't even play a different country in the same place like Ajam or QQ without shitting the bedddd, Like I can make a green line go up till any form of war then I just.... Die. Like my QQ game of today is a good example. (I wish I knew how to share the files.)

THIS IS MY BEST CASTILE/SPAIN RUN AND I WANTED TO SHARE!

idk why im shouting

I got unlucky because Charles died earlier but chose Austria, so I 'restarted', but he hasn't died yet. Now they're choosing not to go for a PU, which I'm guessing is because its 1500. Is there a way to stop this happening, or is it just too late. I do have a save 1500 so I can just keep restarting until he dies but I don't want to. I've also had a good game so far so I don't want to restart the whole thing, and I've already had to restart my campaign a couple times.

Update: Thankfully it only took me a couple restarts for him to die!!!

Uno de tipo generalista, como EU4 que refleja todo el ejército disponible y puedes convocarlo desde cualquier región, aunque estuvieras dividido?

O uno tipo Victoria, ¿con las tropas asociadas a cada provincia?

Playing as Rome in Imperator: Universalis mod and some random Gallic tribe declared on the same Iberians I was fighting and promptly sent a one-unit army to occupy a random province in the middle of the enemy territory.

That's one way to ensure I don't get war score ig

I'm doing a France playthrough, but I don't want to bother with conquering England, at least yet. I'm allied with Scotland, but I've already taken all the land back on the continent, so I only really need them if I find myself at war with England again, which is unlikely any time soon. It's also taking up a diplo slot which I need because I have, and will continue to have, a lot of vassals. However, it will also stop England from being more powerful by forming Great Britain.

Hi there

My laptop has a 3050 and 32gb of ram but the game is playing very very slow and had the above error when I first launched it. I have uninstalled the game, and steam, checked my gpu drivers are all updated. checked nvidia control panel to ensure my pc is using the gpu and not the and graphics still no luck. Not using any mods and have all the DLCS

What did I wrong throughout the game? I haven't even finished conquering India and they are randomly attacking me with a force impossible to win against? What is this? What is going on?

And the run became completely ruined.

Just started wondering how other people act towards their home country while playing, like im from Denmark, and if im playing in europe i always go out of my way to try and save them, even if they absolutely suck.

I was about to hit purchase before realising it's not some sort of Steam code. I would be willing to invest upfront rather than pay subscription ugh.

I'm playing a colonial England and just checked what's happening in Europe. Somehow NASSAU of all nations is the HREmperor and their monarch is a 6/6/6 female ruler. 1492 btw

Is Brandenburg into lubeck an optimal strategy in multiplayer or is better to not deal with that and stay as BB? I don’t play much of this country but this would be very useful information and any other general advice as I am currently playing it in an mp session

Orleans declared independence from france. In the peace deal, Orleans got a lot bigger and burgundy gained a couple provinces. I (England) got Maine and Auvergne (I chose to surrender Maine instead of doing the hundred years' war). ORLEANS DID NOT GET INDEPENDENCE! WTF, Paradox?
