The Imperial Council - /r/eu4 Weekly General Help Thread: May 4 2020

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, meant to assist both those asking questions as well as those answering questions. 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!

Getting Started

New Player Tutorials

Administration

Diplomacy

Military

Trade

Country-Specific Strategy

Advanced/In-Depth Guides

Misc mechanics guides by RadioRes (culture shifting, policies, absolutism, etc)
Guide to royal marriages, personal unions and claim throne
1.28 Three Mountains (Shogunate)
Arumba's Assay series (misc patches, takes user-submitted failing or problematic games and helps fix them)
A Complete Guide to EU4 Economics, Part 0 (links to multiple in-depth guides on economics)

If you have any useful resources not currently in the tactician's library, please share them with me and I'll add them! 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.

Support independence is still locked behind paywall.

Posted: 05 May 2020 03:50 AM PDT

Before I start, I just want to say that the purpose of this post is not complaining about Paradox's publishing policy. I think that most dlc's add a lot of new flavor, I bought a most of them myself. The problem is locking one of the basic game features behind a paywall.

As of today, 5 may of 2020, more than five years after El Dorado was published, one of game most basic mechanics is still not a part of base game. Without it, a ton of countries are barely playable, requiring the use of glitches or waiting for several dozen years for the opportunity to break free. Over time, this only becomes a bigger problem - countries cannot get out of the personal union, even rebellious and stronger vassals are no in any way threat for player.

I think that like developing provinces, support independence should become free with no patch 1.30. This will make the game more enjoyable for new players who are just starting/cannot afford dlc's.

(Sorry for my English, I'm really out of practice because of this all quarantine, I hope it is readeable.)
