Make it so you need 2 cogs per regiment. If one cog sinks then the unit that lands will be a half strength regiment.

That's not a bug, the enemy is moving to Siwi which isn't owned by or under the ZoC of Kalat. It's poor implementation but not a bug.
I agree with this, but it is possible one or all of those forts were mothballed until right before the screenshot. If not, then he has a legitimate grievance. I've never seen something like this happen before so I'm a bit skeptical.
That's why there's a big "OR" in the sentence you quoted. The point, which had to do with supply lines and the differences between the game's attrition/sieging/reinforcement mechanics and real life's, stands. See Aries' summary earlier. And incidentally, disgruntled nobles were a prime tool for foreign invaders throughout the era.
EU4 doesn't even try to simulate the main problem with cannon, which was moving them around over land. Moving 'em by sea or by river was relatively easy, which again runs counter to the seeming forum orthodoxy (overseas conquest is too easy!).

This would seem to suggest there are some bugs then:
I posted a bug report didn't hear anything back. Both these armies went all the way from the Nogai border to Canton where they began sieges, passing several forts along the way.
Are there any forts in the region south of Tsaidam or any other region bordering Tsaidam or Xining? If so, it might have to do with leaving and entering ZoCs of different forts, leading to the strange behaviour of being able to leave from Tsaidam to Xining, because both provinces are under different ZoCs. Something I find highly irritating and unintuitive.
They were mothballed at the start of the war but as the GH army approached moved to Yarkand I activated the forts shown, they had garrisons by the time GH passed them.
No Tsaidam is solely under the ZoC of Zhengye, there are no overlapping ZoC. The nearest fort to the south is Gyegu but this does not cause overlapping.
Besides as I said both the GH army and the Crimean army to the south were able to walk all the way to Canton in the end passing more than just these forts, I wish I had taken more pics.
Oh, how I always wished to have military logistic trails in EU4 / CK2… (or at least for future Vicy 3)
Pretty sure forts have a minimum timer before they project ZOC after you mothball them, precisely to prevent you from only taking them off mothball when at war.
I was under the impression that they simply need a garrison to project a ZoC if this is not the case I would like to know.
Really this should be a separate option not requiring Ironman mode.

I said I could only speak about the Netherlands. But I can imagine other regions/countries having a similar defence. Large parts of Europe were covered by woods, marshes, deep and shallow lakes, etc.
Moving a large army without rails and roads like today was very hard and took some planning. It is hard to take into account all the things that were different during the times of EU4. But getting from A to B was hard in every part of Europe.
Each stat is determined by rolling two 4-sided dice and then subtracting two from the result. Quite simply, the average result is thus 3.
E(2d4-2)=3

Go to the EU4 wiki look up ruler there you will find the explantion of how your monarch is generated. Over the long term you will average 3/3/3 claiming you get lower is confirmation bias.

claiming a 3-3-3 is a god monarch cant be anything but completely serious surely?
In practice slightly higher, like 3,5/3,5/3,5, maybe even 4/4/4, because you will over 350+ years try to kill off your bad heirs and preserve the good ones.
(by making or not making generals, hiring doctors to cure illness or not, letting a great pretender rise and so on)
Regardless ruler generation will still average to 3/3/3, you may experience higher MP gain over time by weeding out bad rulers but the average ruler generated will remain 3/3/3.
it is actually a nerf to outnumbered nations though, because you cant chase and stackwhipe an army of a superior nation
Yep, that is true.
Btw, I came to think about those numbers after the ruler names in the country list, what do they mean?
Most names have a = 0 after them, but some has a number, is it probability of that name generating, or a boost in competency for that ruler, or something else?
