Just wanted to say that even though I haven't launched Eu3 in over 6 months, this makes me want to play MP again.
I'm actually quite low on troops right now, but yeah, the Land-Naval Slider as well as the number of military NIs you need to be effective in one field or the other means you get hugely biased countries. 500 ships isn't even that many, even for 5.2 but especially compared to 5.1; seeing over 1,000 ships by now in 5.1 was not uncommon.ow you have more armies than GB and Spain combined! and GB has 500 big ships? i'm not used to such numbers , but i don't really play MP.
GB and Spain don't really have much useful stuff, so I imagine we'd lose such a war pretty horribly (although I doubt those alliances would happen in the first place). It'd be easy for them to divide and conquer.Such a good AAR. Cant wait for the next mega war. Maybe even a world war?
Can you imagine a France, Ottomans, GB, Sweeden and Spain VS. Italy Austria Prussia Russia

Everyone want to see France lose for once
Sooner or later, just was very busy all session and such.anyways, do you have any intention of expansion somewhere sometimes? being all incredebly strong is nice, but if you dont exploit it its kinda wasted.
i dont actually. i personally hate it when people beating someone just for heck or because he's winning. just a few weeks ago i had a nice example. i was playing colonists of catan with some friends, and had them all checkmate with me winning the next turn. what do they do? they gift all their recources to the player before me for a useless one and allow that player to beat me just because they didnt want me to win. which is just one example. other examples are mortal enemies joining up just to beat that nation without a reason they should do.
hence i'd not like people joining up just for beating that good guy. it makes plenty of sense for italy, austria and prussia to gang up on france, but SPAIN attacking france? no real reason. its all much more fun if you just let common sense do its job. do i gain by this war? if no, you shouldnt be fighting it. russia paying people to perma embargo france is at the limit, but everyone just mindlessly ganging up on him is just unfair.
anyways, do you have any intention of expansion somewhere sometimes? being all incredebly strong is nice, but if you dont exploit it its kinda wasted.
Ottomans never aided me, and in fact threatened to fight me one occasion. Without me doing this he would never have seen the need to work with me.He did just sacrifice is strategical ally, so we all must hope that he will earn something in the process.

The game was postponed this week since OE is switching perms and the new perm won't be available until next week, and because a few other major players weren't there (turns out they slept in). Should resume next week.
A convenient event gave me 150 ducats and a free National Focus move (which didn’t reset the cooldown), giving me a few extra magistrates as a result.
province_event = {
id = 9472
title = "EVTNAME9472"
desc = "EVTDESC9472"
trigger = {
NOT = {
has_national_focus = yes
}
}
mean_time_to_happen = {
months = 25000
}
option = {
name = "EVTOPTA9472"
add_province_modifier = {
name = "benign_neglect"
duration = 7300
}
}
option = {
name = "EVTOPTB9472"
owner = {
national_focus = THIS
years_of_income = 0.20
}
}
}
How does this event (code below) effect magistrates? I don't get it.
How do you use your national focus btw? I ususally place it where it effects as many provinces as possible and are done with it. It might be used to speed up missionary and colonist work or fight revolt risk, but the cooldown for movement is very long (and you want it at certain times in the capital for decisions or to create a CoT somewhere etc.)
