EU3 Achievements Megathread

[Poh]

I'm just curious. Will it force you to put your money on treasury and increase inflation?

i think someone from Pdox stated that it will in some thread somewhere.

I thought that Cherokee after westernization and modern military would be relaxed. Everything else! It's now 1647 and I've fought at least ten defensive wars against Brittany, France, Great Britain, Portugal and Norway. All were won by me, although I always peaced out without taking anything (I did take one colony from Norway though). Surprisingly, Spain, who was the first one to colonise near me (and allowed me to westernise) hasn't declared war on me.

I was allied with Castille for majority of my Cherokee game, they offered me the deal when they were desperate against Portugal and stuck with it till almost the end. I even sent my Threedeckers a few times to sink all the primitive European navies and help my Spanish buddies in their struggle against other natives in that backward continent of theirs.

 

[tuore]

I'm currently expanding my army beyond the forcelimit. Maybe that should stop Brittany from declaring war every time the truce runs out.

 

[BurningEGO]

Dont expect that. Late as 1700 i kept being attacked by spain and great britain. Spain didnt even bother invading me because i had a huge fleet. But i had something like 200 divisions and about 130 ships and i kept being attacked. It seems the AI was made to attack anyone as long as they are able to use the "colonial conquest" cb, even if they will end being beaten.

 

[delra]

You can bribe some of them into positive relations, that should make them go for other targets first if any are left yet. But in general I'd learn to live with constant harassment, being Pagan is like being Reformed.

Cherokee 1662. Funny thing, fighting for my own independence forces me to increase my army, which forces me to colonize, which makes me grow a lot. If I planned my things well enough, I could probably land in Europe during peacetime, if I get MA from someone.

 

[delra]

You don't have supply range in Europe yet?

 

[tuore]

You don't have supply range in Europe yet?

Uh, so?

Anyway, I just transported an army of 15,000 elite Cherokees to the border of Brittany. If they declare war, they are gone.

 

[BurningEGO]

15000 men, uhuh? That late, i kept sending 40.000 stacks into London itself and i still had plenty at home.

BTW, i just found out how EASY it is to get achievements if you change options, and enable certain things like no inflation, free merchants, etc.

Did anyone actually play the game the hard way like i did and unlocked achievements that way? I feel stupid.

 

[tuore]

Well, I'm playing the Cherokee game on default settings without lucky nations, but I plan on getting the Sweden achievement as quickly as I can and I'll go very easy +no inflation.

 

[Alanthiras]

I'm running my WC on very easy mostly bc it's my 10th (or something) the rest I'll get with normal / very hard ('cept maybe Jihad / Ryukyu)

 

[delra]

Meh, I never play below normal.

 

[Alanthiras]

It is my first time ;P

 

[birdboy2000]

Congratulations to BurningEGO on tying me up for first.

Also, I did all of mine on normal mode and default settings.

 

[unmerged(138372)]

I always play on normal or higher with all default settings, I might do an exception with the ryukyu one

 

[delra]

I don't see how it'd help, unless of course there's inherent BB reductiion on Very Easy...

 

[birdboy2000]

I've found a potentially fatal problem in my "Can Big Poland into space" game: Trade embargoes. Spain, Austria, and the Ottomans have all decided they don't want my merchants trading in their CoTs.

I didn't run into these nearly as much as an OPM. Been bribing relations back up with some success, but it isn't a panacea - Spain seems to think 200 relations and an alliance aren't enough to let me into Andalusia. Any ideas on what makes the AI embargo you in the first place, and (if anyone's done this) how to handle it?

 

[Alanthiras]

I don't see how it'd help, unless of course there's inherent BB reductiion on Very Easy...

There is not, here's what it gives;

very_easy_player = {

	global_manpower_modifier = 0.5
	infantry_cost = -0.5
	cavalry_cost = -0.5
	artillery_cost = -0.5
	bigship_cost = -0.5
	lightship_cost = -0.5
	galley_cost = -0.5
	build_cost = -0.5
	merchant_cost = -0.5
	colonist_cost = -0.5
	inflation_reduction = 0.5
	global_revolt_risk = -3
	badboy_limit = 25
	war_exhaustion = -0.2

}

Edit: 3% revolt risk in all provinces is on average 36 revolts / month

The Najd option is a PAIN!!! 1520 I have middle east and have globbed hordes almost to the mongal khanate. It now takes 6 years on full pay to go up one level of stability. What can I do to lower this stab cost, 6500 right now with overextension (which I have been on the wire of the whole game).
