I don't understand why I can't fight with amerindians... I m in war against them, I have troops...but nothing happens.. no fight, no siege.... I m early in history (1550 something)..

can you explain ? Thanks

troops might be exiled.  If you have troops with a black box next to them, then they cant fight or siege.  Move them to friendly territory and they will lose the exiled status.

other then that, if you mean the AI isnt attacking you, it might be that they cannot see you because of terra incognita, which is a possibility.  Also note that you will not get the colonialism casus belli against natives until you finish the exploration tech tree.

1.8 Byzantium Empire! Test run - non Iron Mode but I've been enjoying the game too much I'll probably play this one through.

are you using the thick borders mod?  i do like the way it looks, i think its much easier to see the country borders.  I like the white font mod as well by the same creator.

oops, i meant to edit my other post and instead double posted..........

That DLC looks game-changing enough to absolutely acquire, but I'm at the end of my tolerance to EU4 DLC so will probably hack it or leave it. And I say that having bough everything important up to that point.

It's a pretty big change, buy it scrublord.

anytime i play out of Europe, typically my games are incredibly weird, like Burgandy killing France, Urbino, that shithole italian country with like 2 basetax taking all of Italy, Austria getting exploration ideas(dont ask idk, they were colonizing Africa),  Russia in the HRE, i also saw Bulgaria, which is crazy uncommon typically.  I also saw Qing take over India which was very unique.

i actually very much enjoyed the American Indian tech tree and Federation stuff, i think it truly makes playing them fun.

Yea they stopped Austria getting exploration in 1.8. I noticed Ottomans are weaker than before. I guess Crimea nerf + Mamluke + QQ base tax increase is an indirect nerf to the Otto blob. I even saw Venice beat them up.

theyve increased the amount of ships Venice starts with as well as how many they can own.  I think the Kebab blob was too strong on the water, they would always crush everything in the Mediterranean.

speaking of Kebab, check out this cool mod, how clever.

They claim that the Mamluks in the beginning of the game will have an easy time dealing with the Turks.  Not sure how true this is, as i havent tried it, but the early horde nations are rather strong at first, until they get out teched.

Just thought I'll bump this thread

I would absolutely love to have a 3D globe view ala Civ 4

With a globe map colonizing the Russian areas wouldn't look nearly as impressive

Why? It's super damn big still, and not further North enough to have mega distortions from the plane projection. What I mean is that the EU4 projection does a good job at representing what it has to show because it doesn't need to show the poles. It does need to show Poland though.
