Europa Universalis General Thread

100 years war is removed at the start so thought ill give  England a try, going well so far.  I'm really liking the reworking to the startup in Europe from the patch.

Things I hate

- Diploannex costs x2 then prior.
- AI is walking through my fucking forts somehow playing as Papacy.
- Can no longer see yearly manpower gainz, or see total base tax on a province unless you hover over it.
- Attrition, jesus christ attrition. Sieging a garrison rapes manpower if you have a large stack on it.
- AI seems to be pretty buggy at the moment, they seem to have problems capping land without forts on them sometimes and will constantly run back and forth.

I think I saw this happening.

This is good because it makes vassal feeding less viable as a tactic, which considering the improvements made to vassal interactions with the DLC is a deserved nerf.

- Attrition, jesus christ attrition. Sieging a garrison rapes manpower if you have a large stack on it.

i haven't noticed this as being too bad, but I recommend only leaving the required siege stack on a fort and nothing more if you can avoid it.

Yeah, the forts broke the AI pretty hard. They're so fucking retarded it's insane. They just don't know how to react and deal with sieging provinces. They run around with their heads chopped off refusing to group when needed because they don't want to stop a cap. I've had Austria sit in Denmark with 1 province capped and refusing to cap the rest of denmark for god knows why even though all of denmarks troops were in Livoian Order.

I cant say they have been that dumb in my experience, I have managed to contain France very easily but spain has a p.u. on austria. Just cored paris for the night in Paris achievment on steam. Strolling my way through NA with colonial expansion and have got missions to establish trade in India. Will get some screens to show.

[Kafein]

Not far from having the conditions to form Westphalia. Doesn't sound like something I should do though, republics are OP.

that achievement is cheating now. totally devalued.

[Casimir]

Yeah well i didn't say it was hard to get, then again there were strats for easy unioning France anyway so it wasn't exactly the hardest to get before.

Has anyone played a free city yet? Think they are a bit OP atm.

Me, Vaga, Herezy have a nice campaign going at the moment if anyone wants to Join. The new patch is nice, have had no trouble with AI so far at all, France seems a bit less OP.

Playing as Spain, will upload screen tomorrow

Some of them Blobbed quite quickly in my first game with the DLC, hasn't happened in any other games since and it was quite an odd setup in the first.
