Europa Universalis General Thread

Same thing I tell everyone else. Don't fuking do that. You have to do it piecemeal, unless the provinces are crap(like the ones in arabia or africa) then you can just merc them all day. I like this new OE system. In curbs growth of players(AI seems to not worry to much about it), by causing rebellions, etc.

Yeah but I'm the freaking Timurids.
If I don't go to a long war, my shit get's wrecked with the "REBELLIONS FOR NO WAR". It's awful and will only stop if I can form the Mughal Empire.
Oh that needs fucking Dehli and Kashmir to be annexed and core.
All of that will take around 3-4 wars and then add the truce timers... You can see why it gets awful really quick. Kashmir itself takes around 40% over expansion. I wish it was like the EU3 system where you needed to vassalize them and then you can form the Mughal Empire.
But nope.

Oh and there's no way to deal with over expansion other than coring.
Badboy could have been dealt in a multitude of ways, you could hire an advisor that helped you reduced, you could build an embassy, some events reduced, your leaders stats reduced it, or you could just wait it out.
Compare that to what it is right now.

Is EU4 a demanding game, I want to play it but my laptop is...well...a laptop.

[H4rdn3ssKill3r]

it's not that demanding.
as long as you've got a graphics card that can support shader version 3 you should be fine.
it's more CPU demanding than graphically demanding, and my 2.7GHz cpu can play it wonders so yeah.
as far as I can see it has virtually the same graphical quality as CK2

Ah, that's where you failed. You stack your wars. Declare one while the other is in truce. Finish that war off, attack the other, core taken provinces from the first. Finish that war, attack nogai or some shit for money/time, then repeat until finished.

You just don't want to learn to adapt. It's easy to do, you have to be smart about how you play though. Can't just "I WANT ANNEX AND BE BAD" anymore. It will fuk you up. You have to play it smart and extend but not OVERextend to much.

(also, the constant war? is that really a problem? Haven't played nomads before, would make sense why they are always fighting something.)

Ok I started a new game, and could barely afford 20.000 men around year 1550 as Venice, And then some pretender rebels from my own country (after I became a monachy) attack me with 66.000 state of the art soldiers - What the fuck? There's not even that much fucking manpower in my country. QQ - Someone needs to mod this or patch it. Absolutely disgusting completely ruined my game.

[Artyem]

Rebels are more threatening than other factions now, it's pretty fucking ridiculous.  Zealots and Pretender rebels scare the shit out of me, I lost an entire army to 12k zealots as the Mughals once.  Never again.

Rebels are seriously scary. That and the damn border friction, bs. Both need to be fixed, to over the top atm.

Though, honestly, rebels are fine sometimes, I just think that the extremes need fixing a bit....

You only get inflation if your economy relies too much on the gold mine(s).

How would I slow that down?  I had a decent flow of gold before the goldmine.  Now its out of control and all I want to do is stop it.

some advisors reduce inflation

[Necrorave]

some advisors reduce inflation

Yes, but you have to wait if one is not available.  Also, the rate they lower inflation is very minimal.

Go the economic idea route. you get a constant .1 decrease(plus advisers) and when fully upgraded, can reduce inflation over 3 with admin points.

Otherwise: gotta wait and hope you get an event that lowers inflation.
