I just heard bonus stacking is a thing but how does it work?

Brandenburg ideas that give infantry combat ability they might be less effective.

Well, i mean you cant make your enemys deader, so unless the other side is stacking them too at some point you can argue that you have enough.

Combat bonuses might be the easiest, most straight forwards and most boring kind of modifier to stack.
Try finding something else.

Brandenburg, morale and combat ability.
Well...let's say you have 2 separate sources of 15% morale. They'll just give you 30% morale. Same with unit combat ability. If you heard they are "less effective", that might just be the logic that at a certain point, you don't NEED any more bonuses. Plus, going from 3 morale to 3.5 morale is a bigger deal than 5 morale to 5.5 morale - relative differences. But essentially, any modifiers to military power are...good. But hardly needed. Especially as Brandenburg

This game has a wiki too. If you are able to understand EvE online then EU4 should pose no problems to you.



Orly?

This game has no stacking penalties, only hardcaps in some places.




It was my impression it had, thats why I asked although I didn't specify in the OP that I was talking about penalties. My bad.

My biggest mistake is thinking that everyone thinks like me when only 3% of the population thinks like me lol.
BTW, your edit to the OP still suffers from this....

As you've now discovered "stacking penalty" (ala EVE) isn't a thing in Paradox games, so basically everyone reading this thread will think you're talking about stacking negative modifiers as opposed to something like diminishing returns.

The thread still made me lol...
