I can't believe the game so smart it can 'see' where you're looking at, otherwise the Paradox team would by billionairs:D ;)

Actually you could not play the game if it did not know where you are looking. It needs to know where in the game you are looking so it can display the proper part of it on the screen.

Lowe, Im convinced this one is not superstition but is actually true: "Thou shalt not accelerate time when thou armies are in a battle, for they WILL be destroyed if you do!"

Ive refought the same battles over and over at different game speeds to prove to myself I wasnt imagining things. If I fight at 1x or 2x, I seem to get reasonably predictable results based on numbers, tech levels, terrain modifiers, morale, leader's attributes, etc. If I fight the same battle, even vastly outnumbering the enemy, at 8x, I almost invariably lose...

I'm beguinning to be convinced of a trend here... I also never watch my settlers, 'cos they always fail if I'm looking... AND I always watch my battles [at speed 1X] to see what's happening.

Could this be actually part of the game?

Regards,
Keoland

how about the ever popular moving your armies to the border when you propose a diploannex to intimidate your vassal with whom you already have +200 relations?

In my best Brenda Fricker voice - "Now that's a fact! It was in The Paper!"

Superstitious or not - never hurts...might help.

Anyone who doesn't watch assaults is crazy!!! I'm not sure why I think this... In fact, I like to watch everything, despite the fact that I know it doesn't alter anything. I guess I'm just so impatient that I can't wait for the battles, assualts, colonizations, missionairy attempts, and traders to get thier job done.

As almost everyone, I never, ever watch settlers when thay are close to finish the trip. If I find my self looking at a settler that is <1, I nervously click in other zone of the map, in fear that I would make them fail.
I have however notice that the speed of the game seems to affect the amount of things going on in a certain period of time. If I suddenly lose a series of monopolies, I increase the game speed. I seems that at higher speeds I always have enough merchants to cover all the COT I am participating (I hardly get booted off), but at lower speeds, I seem to get kick out right after adquiring monopolies. Of course I have never watch traders compete.
