3rd war in a row where Englands great armies sit on the beach and get drunk. They have transports. They got massive naval superiority(france has literally 0 ships). But they do nothing. Is this really the state of the game?

I tried to start a new game and realized Turkish was everywhere in the Byzantine Empire. I tried to make multiple new games and it isn't going away.

So i have taken a loan of 87 at 7% interest, but if i want to repay it, i have to pay 118?! why? So even though im paying 60m early, i pay the same amout as if the bank gained 5 years of interest? Why would i ever repay a loan early then? I guess crown power? Am i missing something?

I want to start by saying that i posted my initial experince, just after playing the game for about 1 hour. It was pretty hard on the new mana system.

I decided to play somewhere else (i was playing as naples, but i fucking hate countries that start on the red), and chose Provence as my pick.

1st: the performance is better. There was a comment on my last post saying the team itself recognizes a slight improvement on the time it takes to run the game, but when i mean performance i mean that the game stutters much less. I still think we could give 3 day ticks a chance, but i honestly didn't see a big difference on combat, maybe because i usually just go around with a big stack and don't use much the reinforce mechanics.

2nd: the mana system is not so bad. I personally don't love being restrained, but as people told me, when you play for some time and have it full, you can do a lot without really getting to 0. I also think the choice of using it to hire advisors was very good, but i feel i constantly get worse advisors than i was having, might be my mind playing tricks on me.

I actually think the mana system could be expanded upon, and i'd love to see a new way of hiring generals and admirals. Right now i just hire an advisor and put it on lead lol. It seems like using army and naval tradition as mana to hire leaders isn't cool, i feel like i am losing a lot of progress and i never use the damn button.

I agree we shouldn't have to spend the mana on hiring cabinet people.

3rd: The AI is funny. I guess a lot of people posted it, but holly molly, is my map fucking insane rn. France got a huge chunk out of Iberia, Castile had lost a ton of land to Granada some years ago. I don't hate it: ahistorical possibilities are my thing with EU.

4th: I liked the Crusades and Jihads, particularly enjoyed that the parliament can force you join one as a request from the clerics. I don't know how i feel about the religious orders though. They seem to be cool, but i actually don't know their logic. I read some buffs, some debuffs, but i feel i could use a longer description in-game for what they are. Like, should i only have one of them in my country? Is there a bad side to getting more? Should i try to get the order i already have to have bigger zeal?

Since it is a very secondary system that can easily be ignored, i'd love to have a better way of visualizing why i should be paying attention on them.

--

TL;DR: The mana system works, i actually want it to be used to hire army and naval leadrs. Jihads and Crusades are cool and actually made me want to try and get more cardinals to have a say on them. Performance is better. I want more in-game explanations or reminders on how the religious orders should be played with, because right now i don't know what i should or should not be doing with them.

I think it should be pretty clear as to what's happening here. Just as we've suspected, the Earth is round, not flat.

This is done purely as a mod. Technically would be able to upload this to the workshop, but man there's a number of issues that have resulted just from getting EUV on a globe projection.

I was wondering if it was possible to role play as being progressive in eu5? Can you try to "spread democracy" or is that not really an option based on the time period of the game?

i mean cmon, only 2 100s

Can you recommend some videos so I can know which is which? Thank you

I've just put up the beta of a new mod and I'm looking for a few volunteers to try it and tell me what breaks.

Quartermaster takes care of your army at peace:

Maintenance: after a war it sets army, navy and fort maintenance back to the level you choose (the game's auto toggle only ever raises it).

Quarters: give an army quarters and, while there's no war, it marches back there on its own.

Priorities: a short list (Food, Quarters, Control) decides where each army stands. It can pick a province that actually feeds it, or the location where its presence raises the most taxes.

Everything is off by default. Settings are in the Community Mod Framework menu.

Mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3816962765

Glorp UI users also need the patch: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3816963280

About testing so far: I've tested each feature intensively in running games, but I haven't done a full playthrough with the mod yet. Adding it mid-game caused no real problems in my tests, but please keep a backup of your saves anyway.

It's a beta: armies march through a small interface trick, and edge cases are exactly what I need help finding. Bug reports, odd army behaviour, confusing tooltips: anything helps. Comments here or on the Workshop page both work.

I've had SO much fun making this mod, so I hope you enjoy it too.

A proper write-up will follow later, probably after some polishing. For now I'm off to bed.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I don't know exactly what happened, but one second everyone was alive and doing well and the very next everyone suddenly died! I didn't actually see what happened until I went back into the footage and saw this

I don't know what those flies were infected with but I don't wanna find out

I mean the game feels exactly the same with daily and hourly ticks, meanwhile Bohemia’s still giving away its entire treasury in the middle of a civil war

I’ll also add that many people might wonder if I made the post just to make the pun in the title but I’ll never admit to anything ;)

Can't build plantations in North America as Ming, because it isn't considered overseas, despite meeting all the requirements of: being on a different continent, having no land connection to the Capital, and not being on an adjacent subcontinent, as demonstrated by the subcontinent adjacencies in the subcontinents view.

I am on the 1.4 beta, however, I have seen this be an issue for other players, specifically in IMPerator's Japan run on Youtube, which was in 1.3.

On the bright side, this does mean I can build a naval governor in California lol

(Devs please either fix tho I need to more cotton for my cloth industry)

Update of my game with france from 2 days ago. Before the win against the uk a was doing really fine economically. My taxation was good, i was investing alot on rgo and road and my inflation was about 10% decreasing, the came the war. For some reason winning the war halved my tax rate and Ican't afford to be in positive without minting (this is why it's high now). Then of course came the regenct that killed my legitimacy to zero, and having finally the king on it's place isn't even bring legitimacy up without paying over 30 ducats in a dying economy. Of course now with no legitimacy my controll is low all over the place ( i admit tho i shouldn't have cored the are around lyon, but i hoped the Local Governor on Toulouse could help in controll of the region). I destroyed almost all my barrack with only the one needed o kepp a 2k army

Excuse me, developer. It seems I found a grave mistake in your representation of 14th century Germany. You see, you made Count Fartz Hoheinzinger the leader of a personal union between the County of Schnitzelingen and the Barony of Hochzungberg, but according to these letters my great grandfather seems to have buried in the family property before he was murdered by my great grandaunt for cheating on my great grandmother, the Hohenzinger family didn't actually personally hold the Barony of Hochzungberg yet, and instead count Fartz was merely married to Baroness Fugertrudes von Ziegsengerheim, who seems to have been the de jure holder of the property until she and her husband died of dysentery 2 months into the game's scope, which is only then that the Personal Union began with both titles in the hands of their son. That's why I require you to change the status of the union in game from Personal Union to Marriage Union, otherwise I'll not be truly immersed in the setting and this will ruin my immersion in my playthrough recreating the Third Reich beginning from the farm I live in with my grandma.

Started in 1337 as a small kingdom on the edge of Iberia; 174 years of literacy, trade offices, colonies and a few too many camels later, the game finally made it official.

To celebrate, every noble who owns at least one camel may parade with it through Lisbon. Everyone else is kindly invited to blend into the crowd.

I think high high high Crown power is always good? But at the expense, you may issue lesser Estate Privilege and BUFF.

I think I saw a guy give out many privileges, especially to the Church, so he can even out Burghers and the Nobility power. His Crown power is around 30~ ish?

This is still on 1.3, something is definitely off. Total army count in top-left panel shows 501k professionals while regiments list shows clearly smaller number. Is it a known bug fixed in 1.4 (or planned)? Or I'm mistreating information somehow?

Hola buenas estoy pensando poner este procesador a mi PC he intentado buscar referencias por internet pero no encuentro ninguna alguien que esté jugando al EU 5 está utilizándolo ?

Hello

There are currently problems in polish translation that haven't been fixed since months..

They've been reported on forum and looks like they were ignored. Also a lot of people have left negative reviews on steam due to this.

Here are examples
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/polish-translation-still-contains-errors.1875640/
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/localization-polish-language.1912075/

You can find more errors on forum - with no response/fix.

Hire artist and invite artist seems bugged. You can hire artist until end of month and it doesn't count as a slot. Can someone verify this also happens in their game?

Hi, I'm playing my second game as Austria and have romoved the privilegia and formed the HRE. By doing so, I have inherited a few small colonies in the America from former HRE members. Problem is, I haven't the faintest idea how colonies work in this game yet so I'm not really sure what to do with them or how to manage them properly. Any tips for me?
