Europa Universalis IV - 13 August 2013

[Commissar From Kiev]

Austria demanded unlawful territory and I said "fuck off lol" and they declared war on me and to top it all of another one of my rivals declared war on me after Austria finished off my army and sieged my capital and I quit

Oh. Oh dear.

If you want to expand in the HRE, you need to maintain friendly relations with the Emperor.

Playing a great game as Muscovy, only have to cheat twice.

I tried, but the moment I refused unlawful territory they turned from neutral to hostile

If you're over 100 relations they, 1) Won't demand Unlawful Territory from you, 2) Won't declare war on you, 3) will likely be friendly and want to ally you.

Or be an outside Great Power who can just kick Austria around.

Or, as in my last few games, wait until a minor power is elected Emperor whom you can ignore easily.

That goes without saying doesn't it?

Or, as in my last few games, wait until a minor power is elected Emperor whom you can ignore easily.

However, that's not necessarily sustainable since you're actively contributing to his downfall.

It's better to have the Emperor in your pocket (even when Austria's not Emperor, it's good to have him in your corner).

The thing I most dislike about EU4 is about exclave names. A lot of time they just get it wrong, like this:

(not mine)

Turning them off is the best solution IMO

Possibility wait for the reformation sometimes the emperor might not help other religions.

To be fair, I don't think Paradox allows for World Conquests.

 

[Faeelin]

So, if you were to create national ideas for Germany in EU4, what should they be/

They already are national ideas for Germany in EU4

I remember one AAR back when EU4 when it first came out; someone managed a world conquest as Ryukyu by taking advantage of a ton of built-in bugs and exploits, but everything was legitimate in-engine. It essentially served as a bug test.

That is why there is the Three Mountains achievement (well, if that is still available).

That would have been DDRjake's most likely.

Ah, sounds right. Been years since I read it, but the name's vaguely familiar.

He was hired by paradox and does community stuff now, managing the streams and does in house bug testing.

Gotcha. Makes sense. that was certainly the most entertaining bug test I've ever seen.

No, there are national ideas for German states. Not the same.

 

[Evilprodigy]

No, there are national ideas for German states. Not the same.

There are Germanic ideas I think is what he is getting at.

But there should be an idea group for a unified German state.

Well, I'm one massive step towards finishing updating my sub-mod, Great Shot Kid, That Was One in a Million! for M&T 2.0. Soon the world will quake under the might of the Eastern Roman Republic!
