Apparently if you ask for fleet basing rights from someone, their ports count as your "core provinces" to extend your colonial range. So you could potentially colonize when you are far away in europe or if you ask for fleet basing from the sub saharan or new world people.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;41925649]LOADS AMONEY Gotta love how you can keep doing this to refill your coffers.[/QUOTE] I did this to the Aztecs and Cherokee, going to Swahlii(who have like 13000 gold) and I already made like 15000 gold off Cherokee and Aztecs alone. As the Netherlands too and this made me able to build the biggest navy on the planet.

Hey guys, since EUIV just came out, I was curious, should I purchase that, or EUIII?

Eu4. It's just much better since it's not a debt simulator.

So don't buy rights off too many people or else you'll start hemorrhaging money.

They declared war on me within the first months and I hopelessly tried to defend myself abusing the river crossing bonus. I managed to kill of the entire ming manpower supply, and managed to control a single province that wasn't controlled by either Ming or my pretender rebels. Eventually, after a 10 year war I got white peace with Ming. A few days laters, after the peace, my country collapsed because of the rebels (that was lucky). When the rebels gave me a new king my previous 20 warexhaustion was gone, but Ming's wasn't. My manpower was also about 1/2 of my total (~6000/13000). I looked on the ledger when the truce between me and ming were over and Ming only had 20k regiments so I figured I might as well charge this time. Defeating those pesky Chinese wasn't hard at all, and soon I will form the Qin Dynasty!

[QUOTE=Kentz;41933693] Taking on Ming wasn't difficult.sn't hard at all, and soon I will form the Qin Dynasty![/QUOTE] The "Isolationist" modifier on Ming is insane. A new dynasty taking over seems inevitable without player intervention. In Eu3 you could at least spam universities and other advanced buildings to surpass the west.

[QUOTE=lifehole;41923196]Yeah, about that whole tax the poor but not the rich idea.... [t]http://i.imgur.com/kySB6NQ.jpg?1[/t][/QUOTE] What do you mean by "tax the poor"??? 100%? Well damn of course the will be kinda angry... But it seems normal for germany or any industrialized country to get that kind of socialist support among workers. I recall also having formed Greater Germany and having no taxes + shitload of social welfare. 50% of the lower classes could fulfil their luxury needs....and for no fucking reason, they all decide to go commie on my ass and launch a 90+ stack attack on Berlin and damned me If I can remember what happened to the rest of the country.

The reforms are to buy them off and to lower militancy so they save time. You gotta spread the reforms out.

My second game as Mughals and the game is taking great pleasure in repeatedly kicking me in the balls. Constant neg stab spam. Keeps killing off my dynasties because it thinks I love having low legitimacy. Civil war... actually civil war was no problem, just had to kill the head vampire. But miles behind on admin tech so I can't afford to keep pumping stability any more... just gotta put up with negative stability for a few more decades so I can get the next Idea. Still, last game was entirely uneventful and therefore boring, so I guess this is fun.

Update: Ran out of manpower so what was a mere annoyance/frustration suddenly had me worried. Invested in stability. One month later, stability hit (as usual). This time it was monarch death. Nice try game. Suck shit! My Regency Council has [I]way[/I] more legitimacy than my last few rulers.

Have fun with Spain.

LOL. Toledo is muslim? EDIT: It's nice to see AI in EUIV is akin to the one seen in Death And Taxes for EUIII. UK in 1572, Denmark absorbing most of Scandinavia and other crazy stuff like Spain absorbing half of France

I took all the counties and formed Ireland in ck2 but since I started as Dublin and have Norwegian culture, all my counties have 2% revolt risk. Revolts tend to break out pretty regularly, is there anyway to fix this?

Other than that, convert your heir to one of the gaelic cultures by having them educated by one.

Man, playing Inca is boring as hell. You take out your neighbour, and then, what? You have sit back and accumulate adm power until you can unlock the first exploration idea to colonize bordering provinces. Gimme more fun, you know?

[QUOTE=Cutthecrap;41956327] Gimme more fun, you know?[/QUOTE] Doesn't it get more interesting when the West arrives with their muskets and Galleons?

I recently picked up CK2, primarily for the game of thrones mod. I understand that the mod alters a few gameplay aspects and was wondering if anyone knows of any good tutorials for CK2 with the mod in mind?

Time of Troubles eh? Best hope there aren't Bhaalspawn running around your kingdom.

There's still plenty of wars, it's just they tend to be civil wars.

What the flying fuck, its 1797 and Great Britain just became the Holy Roman Empire some how. [URL=http://minus.com/lnHGJyNS0yjVT][IMG]http://i.minus.com/jnHGJyNS0yjVT.png[/IMG][/URL]

Did it exist prior to that? Maybe the Emperor inherited Great Britain Not sure if that can happen in EU4, haven't played it, but that seems most likely

It is the first time I play CK2 on singleplayer (I always play multiplayer) and I find really annoying the autopause on popup. Is there any way to disable it, just like in eu3?
