EU3 *Unofficial* FAQ Thread

[unmerged(11427)]

Maybe, you can expand your answer to this question:
Q: What is Army/Navy Tradition and how does it work?
based on MrT's response here? He is talking about this development diary.

Something like this:

• Fighting battles increases tradition
• Winning battles increases it even more
• During peacetime tradition erodes
• Certain ideas and buildings reduce the detoriation of the traditions

You spend your tradition when recruitng generals/admirals. It also costs some gold and one diplomat or colonist. To recruit an explorer or a conquistador, you must also have the “conquest of the new world” national idea. The skill values of a leader depends on the relevant tradition level of the country.

wot about Portugal?

Will Portugal still have only 3 main provinces?Tago, Oporto and Algarve? Cause there are big errors in EU1&2. For example....if we want to create the Vassal "Coimbra" it shouldn't be given the province Agarve!!Cause "Coimbra" it's not in Algarve...it's between Oporto and Lisbon right in the middle of Portugal! And the Vassel named Porto sould be called "Portucale" cause that's where our country began to expand! Inicial Portugal was a merge of the countys of "Portucale" and "Coimbra"! By the way, the Capital of Algarve was and has always been "Faro"! Not "Badajós"...Badajós it's a Spanish city at the frontier with Portugal! So...there sould be a province between Tago and Oporto named "Coimbra"!

And wot about the timer? I think that when the game ends we should be allowed to continue if we wat to!...say...to the...year 9999! Of course it wouldn't be needed Data such as Events, Kings,etc...it should be only for the plesure of playing!

...will it have the "scenario editor" plz...put it there!

I'll wait for an answer...

Welcome to the forum.

Please don't post question in this thread.

See this thread for info about Portugal.

Jinnai: I have just added a "quote" near the top of the FAQ that clearly asks people not to past questions in this thread. As before, feel free to move it to wherever you'd like it, or to change text of it a bit.



Oh...and I noticed that right near the end of the FAQ you have a "broken" [ i ] tag in front of "Crusader" that needs fixing.

....If you have played [ i ]Crusader Kings you'll be...

updated with all the new info.

 

[Registered]

Some info gleaned from the pics linked to in this thread.

An extra known ruler title; the Stadtholder.
Two more known army types; The western knight and the western longbowman.
More knwon shiptypes; Caraval, Barque, Cog and Galley.

When starting a new game, not only do you get to pick whatever date you desire (suggestions with descriptions are provided), but you can also pick the country you want from a map, so searching through a list is no longer needed.

And two extra government types. The consitutional republic (the US in the screenie) and the constitutional monarchy (England).

Can you find out which group the units belong to?

Also if anything i've added (which also includes listed scenerio startdates as seen in screenshots) is released without Paradox permission and you want it removed, i will do so. I know there was some question about whether the source was able to release certain info he had.

What kind of group do you mean?
In any case, take a look at this screenshot and you know as much as i do.

 

[Veldmaarschalk]

Western longbow = Infantry
Western medieval knights = Cavalry
noSubunitDefinition = Artillery

Read the green bit in the first post.
I don't think we know this yet BtW.

well... yes, but that's a bit self evident neh?

Yes, but it seems like those are the only 3 groups of land units

Since f.e. the western longbowmen have a picture of 17th century infantry besides them

The two with real names are categorized.

 

[Sparrow]

Is the falalalala song going to be in EU3? My favorite song of all the Paradox games I have. :rofl:

 

[unmerged(37697)]

Known Special Army Units List:

* Cavalry
o Caracolle
o Western Medieval Knight
* Infantry
o Maurician
o Western Longbowman
* Dragoon

I am almost certain that these are simply placeholders. Caracolle and Maurician are fairly nation/area specific; going by this argument, I'd suggest that the idea of a generic knight will be split into - for example - French Paladins, as well as a type of well-known Germanic or Iberian cavalry, and so on.

Likewise, Western Longbowman? Longbowmen were almost exclusively English; few if any other nations managed to perfect their use and techniques, and besides, by 1492 (gamestart) they were becoming obsolete anyway.

I would suggest Welsh Longbow, personally

Q: Is the map editable?
A: Yes. About the same level of editing a map for Morrowind or Oblivion (products by Bethesda Softworks). It's unknown whether you can add or remove provinces, change the overall size and/or shape of the map or add things for fantasy games, like underground dwarven empires or floating islands.

This is utterly incorrect and misleading.

The degree of difficulty/expertise required is on par with MW and OB. Not the actual function or methods themselves. The way that you have it phrased makes it sound like EU3 is world-building, RPG-ish. It isn't.

I would either delete that section completely or reword it to indicate that some proficiency would be required, up to a similar level of graphics expertise that would be required to make things for games such as MW or OB.

And from Johan's reply we can add three more:

• Nicolaus Copernicus (natural_scientist)
• Rafal Leszczynski (trader)
• Waclaw z Szamotul (artist)
