Whats up with the golden bird oO

The bird is a Gamayun, prophetic agents in Russian folklore and symbol of wisdom and knowledge.

It really doesn't matter what the ambition is, this is one of the best idea sets either way. Tons of military bonuses to the most important unit

Pretty good thing to have directing your artillery.

Maybe the finisher was supposed to be 150% prestige. But still...

Gods of Siege and Fire

By the way, do their ideas mean they pay 45% less for artillery mercenary maintenance?

No. Those 2 are multiplicative.

...so how much Smolensk pays for mercenary artillery maintenance?

I'm pretty certain that regular troop costs and mercenary costs are independent. So Smolensk pays 20% less for mercenary artillery and 25% less for regular artillery.

This.

+15% Prestige from Land Battle

Now that I think about it, is it a bug that every single battle gives +5 prestige to the victor and -5 prestige to the loser as a base, regardless of the numbers involved?

 

[Casus_Belli]

Artillery is cool!

Now that I think about it, is it a bug that every singel battle gives +5 prestige to the victor and -5 prestige to the loser as a base, regardless of the numbers involved?

I've always wondered this as my HK stack runs around killing 1 regiment at a time. This would be the best way to fix prestige to be more meaningful.

It should definitely be harder to earn.

If they fix rebels and prestige, the next obvious target for a fix are the missions.

This is the modern day flag inspired by the old one afaik:

finisher sucks but that is a awesome flag.
and of course glorious mother Russia will march them to siege for them of course.

 

[Closet Skeleton]

Wow siege kings. I'll probably keep them alive as russia so they can siege some provinces for me

Edit: Or are they the releasable guy in russia?

They're the two Russian provinces Lithuania starts with. Lithuania can release them and sell bits of Moscow to them, or Moscow can take their provinces from Lithuania and release them.

This.

Regular recruitment costs affect regular troops recruitment costs, but not mercenary recruitment costs.

Regular recruitment costs affect regular troops maintenance as well as mercenary maintenance.

Mercenary recruitment costs only affect mercenary recruitment cost.

Mercenary maintenance modifiers affect only mercenary maintenance.

Land maintenance modifiers affect both regular troop maintenance and mercenary maintenance.
