Thread: Granada tips?

    Wow, that is impressive. I wondered why you weren't very active on the MEIOU forums recently.

    I didn't even know anyone had achieved it. I tip my hat to you good sir.

    Wow! That is sick. I cannot play Ryukyu. I usually rage quit after 30 years or so because China has decided that a doomstack would look really nice parked on my island. How did you manage to take any territory while keeping them from swallowing you just by breathing?

    Ming begins the game guaranteeing you so when they join you in the inevitable war against Japan you can wage war on other nations who Ming guarantees without them steamrolling you. They way you can wrestle a mainland province for yourself, tell Japan to jog on, dispose of Okinawa, go bankrupt and enjoy Buddhism.

    Okay, revving this thread back up in excitement for what my next game will be. I was going to do a peaceful trading nation with that little Orthodox country in the armpit of Anatolia, but I've thought of something better: A beautiful borders for Europe game, possibly of the year 1913 but I'm open to other ideas.

    Since Germany tends to me the hardest nation to form I'll likely be the Germany while I vassalise and feed all the other Europeans. Infamy could be a big problem however. Takes 4 - 8 infamy per province and you don't lose any for selling it to someone.

    What I'm looking for is this, but in MEIOU.

    Looking forward to it. That armpit anatolian country has been my recent challenge and its probably the hardest game I have played.
    Good luck with your beautiful borders.

    Just one thing about your map : after 1861, Nice belongs to France

    Ah, I didn't make that map, it's one I saw posted earlier.

    Curiously, I seem to remember you saying that vassals add to "Claim_on_<nation>" Is this true? Perhaps I imagined it because I don't remember (or haven't noticed) vassals adding to my claim to forming a new nation.

    Your vassal should add to your claim... if not, please tell me which nation you were trying to form... which area the claim didn't work for.

    It's probably something I just never noticed due to it updating on ruler death by which time I'll have incorperated all vassals, but knowing that I could, for example, get my claims on Germany through vassals, makes things much easier.

    So to make completely sude, having a province owned by a vassal is just as good for your claim as owning that province yourself? What file stores this coding?

    Do nations in a PU under you also add to your claim? Or is it just vassals?

    Thanks Gigau. I'll have beautiful borders ready once 5.3 is out. It'll be one of my last Europa projects during my time out of work. On the 7th of March I start my new job and I imagine all my free time will evaporate so I've been doing all the labour intensive games lately.

    Beautiful borders is still on the to-do list. Might have to rethink doing it as Switzerland though. that single-digit infamy limit is a ball ache. Perhaps one of the swiss-italian minors...

    Right, new game, new goal: form the Grand Merchant Republic of Beloozero. Hard mode, random lucky nations. 75year spread of provinces and sea.

    Beloozero is the poorest of all Russian principalities. They have a basetax of 3, forcelimit of 1, no heir, laughable production eff, strong neighbours, only one province which is a core of both Novgorod and Muscowy. Their sliders suck, they are diplomatically isolated at game start and only have 1 diplomat at game start.

    Which makes it all the stranger that this has been one of my easiest game starts. Either I'm getting better or it's my lucky week.

    Nizhny Novgorod, my favourite russion minor from vanilla EU3, is two provinces large and wealthy but battling nomads. I take Grand Army (discipline be damned in this game, we're going full russian quantity!) to get a forcelimit of two and enough manpower to fill it. I march in and declare them subjects of Beloozero.



    Okay, so a forcelimit of 6 now. Moscowy and Novgorod have both guarenteed me. This is what the AI does when it is near a smaller power that they want to eat and not let anyone else eat. Since they both have a core on me, my days are pretty numbered, so I do what any sane player does and disband my entire army.

    Novgorod takes the bait.











    Tver swearing loyalty to me was a nice bonus but they instantly realised they were stronger so began hurling insults. I draw them into the war and they make a nice addition of ~6 soldiers. Did you know Tver has a basetax of twelve!?

    I have grand plans for Finland so I release them. Then Muscowy decides enough is enough and they want their land. Well, looks like they did not pay attention to the Lithuanian warning.



    Lithuania gives Muscowy a bloody nose in this and another following war and Yaroslav pops back on the map. I decide that Finland desrves some land so in the course of a few years I pound Sverige and the following Sweden so hard that the ballsack of Scandinavie is mostly handed back to the Finns through spies and War Dynamism. Denmark offers me an alliance that drags me into a huge war with Hungary which proves very profitable through won battles alone. Denmark remains a strong ally against the Swedes.



    From this point, I decide that I need more power. I decide to forge claims on Yaroslav's throne. It drags lithuania in since they are warning me but in throne wars the war leaders don't change. While Lithuania is at war with me I notice Muscowy also has a weak succession. They were also bankrupt.

    Right, a good start. Goals for this game are:

    - Unite the russian cultured provinces of the Northen russian lands. No eastward expansion is planned.

    - Not form Russia. We are not Russia, we are the Beloozero!

    - find out what the adjective form of Beloozero is. I must take over more lands or form a trade league to discover this in game. I refuse to spoil it for myself by looking it up.

    - Form a huge-ass trade league. Merchant Republics are the most interesting government types to me. I want to play around with them more after my Scotland->Great Britain game was abandoned. Hopefully playing a fresh nation like Beloozero will keep things interesting.
