Switzerland
I shit you not. Switzerland is like pro as shit. First game I ever played with it, I chose switzerland 'cause it was the biggest small country in Europe.
Basically I remade the HRE at its height by getting spammed with claims on neighbor events. Seriously the MTTH would have given me roughly 4~ in the whole game. I got 40+
Also got the multiple claims event a few times. 2-4 claims each time.
Anyone got a working link for House of Colonialism? The link on the forum doesn't work on my end.

Keeps crashing when I try to launch fairly sure I just installed it wrong, though.
[QUOTE=Bumgall;38481051]Just got EU3, what nation should I play as? I was thinking of Venice.[/QUOTE]France, it's a all around good nation for learning the game.
Portugal might be a option too if you want to be left alone and colonize peacefully.

Every Paradox game has an unofficial "tutorial" nation. EU3's is Portugal.

Now to mop up Sweden, and figure out why my second son is now the heir to Finland, instead of my Empire heir. Wtf.
Who should I give duchies too so that all my vassals don't hate me for having so many but I don't have to worry about annoying rebellions?
So Primogenture doesn't seem to be giving all of my titles to my oldest son, which is kinda the whole point, right?
It's seriously annoying having to just kill all of the other sons I keep having. Expensive too.

Do you have multiple king titles? I bet they're all set to different things.
[QUOTE=scout1;38489070]Do you have multiple king titles? I bet they're all set to different things.[/QUOTE]
Ah yes, I keep forgetting about the multiple levels of law. Too bad I fucked up my relations to the point of an unavoidable, unwinnable civil war.
Oh well, guess I should try again. Anybody have any advice for Rostov->Rus->Russia? I was approaching it by conquering the heathens, keeping only the 2 duchies around my capital for myself, and trying to pick apart surrounding duchies by sewing dissent and vassalizing the independent counties.
[QUOTE=Mackalda2k6;38489031]Who should I give duchies too so that all my vassals don't hate me for having so many but I don't have to worry about annoying rebellions?[/QUOTE]
I tend to give it to someone in the de-jure territory that seems unlikely to pass along the Duchy to someone outside of the de-jure territory or another Duke.
I think my Sunset Invasion is broke
all I see is a bunch of territories with no soldiers in them with 1000 boats docked.

They're not even at war with anyone.
I suck so bad at managing war in Hearts of Iron II, every war I get into turns into a back and forth cluster fuck. Hell I can't even take Belgium without major problems! I also have problems with my game crashing at random.
[QUOTE=Mackalda2k6;38489031]Who should I give duchies too so that all my vassals don't hate me for having so many but I don't have to worry about annoying rebellions?[/QUOTE]If possible I hand out ducal titles to nobles who own a maximum of 2 counties in the de jure duchy I'm granting them. And whatever you do, do not give it to someone who's ambitious.
Been playing HOI2 due to the fact that CK2 (which I bought and really wanted to play) does not run at all on my computer. I get maybe two frames a second. But anyway, I was wondering if EU3 was any better in its GUI and whether if it's more easy to play. I kind f get HOI2 but am a bit overwhelmed at some of its features. So my question is, is EU3 easie than HOI2?
Got a quick question about CK2.
How do you get a bigger army as smaller states? I formed the kingdom of Ireland but my actual irish army consists of like 3,000 people and I have to rely on mercenaries to actually do anything.Any way you can up your actual troop count?
EU3 is much easier than anything else

Open up a county and click the castle or town or whatever, that'll let you build improvements in that holding most of which increase levies.
You could also increase your crown authority or change Feudal levy laws to squeeze more out of your vassals but that'll make them pissed off so keep it to a minimum.
[QUOTE=Killerjc;38494501]EU3 is much easier than anything else[/QUOTE] CK2 is easier then EU3 if i am honest.

You get more over time. Faster with tech improvements.
You can only call yourself a true paradox fan if you master Victoria 1.
[QUOTE=Killerjc;38494501]EU3 is much easier than anything else[/QUOTE]Before CK2 came along it was the easiest to grasp among the Paradox titles IMO.
Now CK2 is arguably the easiest and casualized Paradox game to get into.
Since i am Emperor now, i was thinking about appointing kings. It doesn't strike me as being a good idea. Any particular benefits?
[QUOTE=LordApocca;38498664]Since i am Emperor now, i was thinking about appointing kings. It doesn't strike me as being a good idea. Any particular benefits?[/QUOTE]
Nope. Keep all the King titles for yourself, don't let any of your vassals get too strong. There's no opinion penalty for too many King titles so grab them all and keep an eye on those with claims on them.
My Italy game is going well so far. Started as the Duchess of Tuscany, since my first attempt as a count left a lot to be desired (HRE quickly went med authority and there was no possible expansion inside the emprie). A long time ago I broke free, so I'll decline to talk about that.
After my awesome king of all kings got 2x my entire score to date by going to crusade in Aragon and Greece and fucking shit up, he left a genius female on the throne. Whom I found out, for some reason, had a weak claim on the Kingdom of Hungary.
We quickly jumped in to help them suppress their independence revolts, then took the throne. :v:
What's followed since then has been pretty shit. The new Roman Empire is trying to regain its historical borders, but we know how that is. Not having an actual empire title doesn't help, but eh. We've had pacification campaigns all through Serbia and Bulgaria. There was a huge Serbia that looked ready to reform the Bryzantine empire, but we moved to crush them. Our growing lands around them as we surround them... the state of Serbia slowly died, and its breakoffs - Bosnia, Thrace, Aegea - did no better. We'd steal a county or two, and then wage holy war against the Muslims in the area that were doing the same thing.
Over in Spain we rounded off our borders, stealing some HRE lands that were part of our duchies. I wanted to take the whole peninsula, but France did some massive expansion (and did some weird thing usurping my duke right after I warred them and gave the duke title away), so I haven't made any headway. And England controls Andalusia after a crusade. Fighting our fellow Christians is a pain.
We've taken Bavaria and Tyrol though, from the HRE, after some duchy claims fabricated. Gonna try to get that emperor title.
I think I fixed my crashing problems in Hearts of Iron 2, so how does the multiplayer work?
Fuck guys, the Kingdom of Hungary is crashing down. I was one of the last Catholic powers in the world but the Waldenensian heretics who took control of the HRE one hundred years ago are too powerful. At my best I get a 10k man army of pure Huns, a few Orthodox friends like the Danes, and then the Knights Templar + mercs which boosts me up to about 25k men. The HRE heretics swarm me with 40k men and force me to surrender.
I'm left with a small, sad, little Kingdom. I want to go back to being a Transylvanian duke and swearing fealty to either Poland or maybe even the Danes so I can have some protection.
So Austria in my game is close to forming the HRE.

Wow... Got any pictures of the political landscape? Realms? Cultures? Religions?
Quick question, is there a mod out for Victoria 2 that allows you to make one small region wherever you please, and start from there, or to randomize each country on the world map?
