You better pray that the HRE is somewhat unified by the time you get there. If it's not, you'll have a lesson in frustration as your CPU shows you why you're a little bitch when it comes to apm.

Well, since you can get almost infinite ducats by building things with bureacrat faction and cancelling them with another faction, and hire mercenaries with those near-infinite ducats....The only thing holding you back with this strategy is manpower and/or ducats,
Both of these are going to happen so enjoy.I would find it incredibly funny if someone finishes the WC before Jake or if Jake actually fails to get the WC
Since coring is done instantly and faction change takes a day, I don't think it would work.Can you do the same thing you do with buildings to get infinite admin points? Start coring, switch factions so you lose the discount, then cancel coring? I guess it doesn't really matter if everything you would do with admin points is free.
Yeah, I was not aware of that either. Unfortunately the market doesn't supply enough mercenaries to keep up with the demand you'll haveWell, since you can get almost infinite ducats by building things with bureacrat faction and cancelling them with another faction, and hire mercenaries with those near-infinite ducats....

Yes, they increase, as in they get even more negative. Do you even know what we're talking about here?I'm pretty sure that eventually coring would go beyond a day, because coring times increase with size.

Wouldn't something like Berber/Hungarian traditions create a non-negative coring time?Yes, they increase, as in they get even more negative. Do you even know what we're talking about here?
No, it's broken somehow. The cost is up to 100+ but the time is down at -96 months instead of -5 or whatever it started at.Wouldn't something like Berber/Hungarian traditions create a non-negative coring time?
Huh. I guess it's hard to call it broken when I don't think there's even an official explanation of how coring time is supposed to work (people have reverse engineered it but I don't think the game documents it anywhere).No, it's broken somehow.

Isn't stability nearly free with one of the factions? Truces are just, like, a piece of paper, man.As for my game, it's 1701 and I'm not going to make it:
Doesn't matter how much I can core if I can only take 100% warscore total from every nation that is left. Gotta use the AE dumping exploits too do this I guess.

I suppose, truce and blitz sieging could possibly get it done.Huh. I guess it's hard to call it broken when I don't think there's even an official explanation of how coring time is supposed to work (people have reverse engineered it but I don't think the game documents it anywhere).

Yeah it most definitely wasn't, even before hitting the European coalitions it was probably the most challenging game I've had in EU4 so far. Yes, you're extremely powerful, but you're also pushing the game to it's limits instead of going 100% OE > Wait 15 years, 100% OE > Wait 15 years like you'd normally do.Remember when I said this wasn't necessarily EASIER than France ?
Wonder if you could pause, set up the cores, then declare war on the nation you took it from. Cores can't progress if you're at war with a state that has their own cores there, right?
What's the point of doing that though? Might as well play France or England if you're going to do the standard HRE stratSeems to me that the most efficient path would be to keep dumping eastern cores and conquer Ethiopia next so you can convert to Christianity and get elected emperor. Speeds up the HRE a lot.

How do you know it? Did you try that?If they have a negative time to happen they will still complete despite you being at war again.
