Top 5 worst missions in DW

[Claudius]

"Build University in [Naval Supplies Province]."

The only missions I can't stand are Manufactory missions. I usually have a strict no restart rule, but I will break it for these and keep restarting until I get something else, then of course taking whatever else it is.

They need to give some actual benefit, such as +1 Base Tax, as they take so long to complete.

I just go improve relations with X, so I gave them cash.
they were sitting at 97, after my tribute they were 147.
the mission right after it was to annex them

 

[The Silent Hero]

Defend against {Country}!

I've never done it and I can't see why it would be useful. Total waste on your economy.

 

[Zanza]

I just got "Discover Alaska". In 1467.

 

[stnikolauswagne]

As TO --> Prussia:
Defend against HRE Austria --> cancel --> defend against France --> cancel after 5 Years --> Naval Race against England.....

Got it around 1445 as France..

It should only appear if you have QftNW and the province is in range.

 

[Helios Panoptes]

Might be related to the map cache troubles.

I hat GftNW but not even the caribbean was in range...

Just got a mission to vassalise burgundy. It costs 134% with subjucation CB and they've lost about 2 provinces.. >_>

range is irrelevant for discovery missions-ive even had build colony missions where the target province is out of range

 

[ANO1453]

range is irrelevant for discovery missions-ive even had build colony missions where the target province is out of range

discover_mission = {
type = empty_provinces
allow = {
idea = quest_for_the_new_world
range = yes
port = yes
this = { num_of_ports = 1 }
NOT = { has_discovered = THIS }
this = { war = no }
}

establish_colony_mission = {
type = empty_provinces
allow = {
this = {
num_of_ports = 1
idea = quest_for_the_new_world
}
range = yes
port = yes
has_discovered = THIS
}

Something is working out wrong then.

Something is working out wrong then.

I'd guess someone needs to delete their map/cache folder... Not everyone has been playing since EU 1 and knows the rule to do that after any patch whether the directions say to or not.

Subjugate Bohemia -can't get untill 1500
Subjugate Hungary -can't get untill 1500
No ottomans in east balkans
No ottomans in west balkans
Hegemony over north italy


As someone who plays multiplayer, the first two missions are horribly late for annexing the 2 most important countries for austria. The 3rd and 4th missions are just stupid, no ones going to let austria annex an ottomans player in a game. and the 5th mission is very lame if their's a milan player as it basicly kills him, or you're going to get a beating if you try to go after it. But worst of all is that austria is stuck cycleing all these bad missions all game long without a chance to get somthing half decent like a diploannex + core or annex a opm + core mission which austria desperatly needs if it stays in the empire.

Conquer silesia - cancel make bohemia vote for us - cancel conquer silesia - cancel protect against bohemia

 

[Ephafn]

I had nearly endless loops of: "Build a navy with our nation"/Mission failed, "Naval race against X"/Mission failed, spamming my screen and being very annoying (I got a new mission every day or so, and it failed nearly instantly).

Probably have to do with being a landlocked OPM who had conquered (and cored) a unconnected port province.

Another extremely recurrent mission that I got was "Blockade X", when the nation I am at war with only ports facing two sea provinces. So I just let my navy patrol both provinces and got 20 ducats for every move...

 

[Agenor]

My favourite missions as Byzantium:

1. Convert Asia Minor! Yeah, all of it... That should keep me busy for the next 120 years.

2. Vassilize the Knights! Yeah, sure they're in Castille's sphere. And if they weren't, I still wouldn't vassilize them, I'd annex them since there is the risk that you could lose your core on them if the local culture changes to Maltese.

1. Convert Asia Minor! Yeah, all of it... That should keep me busy for the next 120 years.

This one is a little awkward, since I'm guessing BYZ players tend to go Innovative which impedes your ability to take the conversion-assisting religious decisions.

2. Vassilize the Knights! Yeah, sure they're in Castille's sphere.

So put them in your sphere.

And if they weren't, I still wouldn't vassilize them, I'd annex them since there is the risk that you could lose your core on them if the local culture changes to Maltese.

That's a rather stronger argument

On that note: "Vassalize some Turkish minor all of whose provinces have your cores on them" as the Ottomans.

The event text is a little misleading. The "Asia Minor" region is just the provinces that border the Aegean, as well as Rhodes and Cyprus.

 

[Agenor]

So put them in your sphere.

Afaik, you can't put a nation in your sphere that is already in another sphere.

The event text is a little misleading. The "Asia Minor" region is just the provinces that border the Aegean, as well as Rhodes and Cyprus.

Ah, I didn't know that. Still, in my current game it took 60 years to convert Bithynia, and it was the subject of a national focus....
