The Imperial Council - /r/eu4 Weekly General Help Thread: December 16 2019 Posted: 16 Dec 2019 06:00 AM PST Please check our previous Imperial Council thread for any questions left unanswered   Welcome to the Imperial Council of r/eu4, where your trusted and most knowledgeable advisors stand ready to help you in matters of state and conquest. This thread is for any small questions that don't warrant their own post, or continued discussions for your next moves in your Ironman game. If you'd like to channel the wisdom and knowledge of the master tacticians of this subreddit, and more importantly not ruin your Ironman save, then you've found the right place! Important: If you are asking about a specific situation in your game, please post screenshots of any relevant map modes (diplomatic, political, trade, etc) or interface tabs (economy, military, ideas, etc). Please also explain the situation as best you can. Alliances, army strength, ideas, tech etc. are all factors your advisors will need to know to give you the best possible answer.   Tactician's Library: Below is a list of resources that are helpful to players of all skill levels. This list is updated as mechanics change, including new strategies as they arise and retiring old strategies that have been left in the dust. You can help me maintain the list by sending me new guides and notifying me when old guides are no longer relevant!

You can message me or mention my username in a comment by typing /u/Kloiper Calling all imperial councillors! Many of our linked guides pre-Dharma (1.26) are missing strategy regarding mission trees. Any help in putting together updated guides is greatly appreciated! Further, if you're answering a question in this thread, chances are you've used the EU4 wiki and know how valuable a resource it can be. When you answer a question, consider checking whether the wiki has that information where you would expect to find it, and adding to the wiki if it does not. In fact, anybody can help contribute to the wiki - a good starting point is the work needed page. Before editing the wiki, please read the style guidelines for posting. submitted by /u/Kloiper [link] [comments]

OK, here's a weird one Posted: 16 Dec 2019 12:09 PM PST I think I play this game too much. Just this morning I had trouble waking up because my sleep-deprived head had a thought: "I need a valid casus beli to get up. Otherwise I can't declare war on morning". No joking, this legit happened to me today. Should I seek help? btw if some strange shit like this, when you just think about irl stuff with ingame logic, happened to you, please share.

What little known tips do you have for new EU4 players? Posted: 16 Dec 2019 02:25 AM PST Specifically looking for things related to quality of life, and hotkey mappings, as even after 8000+ hours, players still seem to be learning new little tricks. I'm at 300 hours, and recently learned of my contribution to this thread: ​ When you want to carpet-siege in enemy territory with 1k stacks, and you have a full army stack sieging down a province, you can select that stack and press "D" once for each province that you want to carpet siege on. This detatches enough regiments to siege the province that the stack is currently on, great for 1k stacks. Then, select the entire army of split up units, and press V to leave a unit behind on the province you're sieging, to complete the occupation. V drops the last selected unit in a list of units off of the selection. From there, you can right-click a province to select for carpet-sieging, which should start the stack moving toward that province, and press V to unselect the last stack in the list. Repeat this for the area you'd like to carpet-siege. ​ This is great when you're fighting a large nation with little zone of control coverage, and can greatly speed up your gameplay. It's vastly superior to detatching a siege stack as your army walks over provinces IMO. ​ What tips do you veterans, or even mildly experienced players like myself have that would make everyone's lives easier? submitted by /u/Master_Maniac [link] [comments]
