    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.

    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.

    1.30 DOTF annoying and unrealistic

    Posted: 30 Nov 2020 02:29 AM PST

    The new DOTF now defends any nation, anywhere, any size. And of course, the DOTF will always be one of the great powers. This severely limits your expansion options if you are surrounded by a major religion, or want to convert to a different religion.

    If for ex. you are Serbia and want to expand into the christian countries, you will have to deal with great powers Spain or France every time. Even if you manage to defeat the power and make it lose DOTF, a new one will immediately take it.

    For people saying it's realistic: It's not. Never has there been a true DOTF that defends every country against heathens and heretics. Especially not in the time EU4 is set in. Thirty years war? Began as a small religious conflict then expanded into a political one.

    Want to conquer a small insignificant county in the HRE as a protestant? Oh wait, France, the great DOTF that was part of the protestant league as a catholic, comes to the rescue. Want to expand as an African nation in Africa? Oh no, the Ottomans will protect this uncivilized nation they don't even know about.

    Am I the only one who sees it like this?

    some ask me how do you win the 100 years war as England. I give them a paraphrased answer from Voltaire. No problem can withstand mercenaries that plunge your nation into 2000 ducats in debt. Mercenaries solve all problems. Debt is temporary, PUs are forever. One Night In Paris achievement run.

    Something ain't right...

    The Hussite faith is hot garbage

    Posted: 30 Nov 2020 02:17 PM PST

    The Hussite is just a huge disappointment and is the worst Christian faith and one of the worst Abrahamic faiths.

    To start lets go over the bonuses:

    Missionary Strength vs Heretics is alright, but -5% shock damage is nothing. Shock damage is strictly worse than fire damage and 5% is a paltry unnoticeable modifier. Then there are the customizable bonuses The only three worth talking about are the manpower bonus, the harsh treatment reduction, and the army tradition decay which is really only good since AT got nerfed this patch. And even harsh treatment isn't useful until around 1610 which is almost 170 years into the game. There are some ok ones like stability cost and tolerance of the true faith, but then you have flat out worthless ones like culture conversion cost and tolerance of heretics. Then of course the god awful +1 stab hit on declaration of war so you get higher improve relations. The only thing higher improve relations is good for is reducing your AE faster which this aspect of the faith is actively discouraging you from doing.

    On top of all of that the faith is just completely impossible to get off the ground. Out of the half a dozen Hussite games I've played usually 2 or 3 nations outside my subjects convert. Since new converts don't spawn new COR the religion expands extremely slowly and the COR in Prague disappears in the mid 1500s in most of my games a full 60 years before the protestant and reformed ones do. Then of course there is the fact that it cannot be the official faith of the empire. No big deal right? you just become the league leader enforce a white peace and try and manually enforce Hussite on all of the princes. Well you can't even do that either as a Hussite it is impossible to become the leader of the protestant league. Now why does any of this matter? well if you look at the bohemian mission tree a good portion of it is dedicated to subjugating electors and becoming emperor of the HRE and the hussite faith just makes that completely impossible. I would also like to mention you will border almost every nation you can make a subject and with large nations like poland the neighboring heretic religion modifier just makes it that much harder to get them loyal

    In short hussite is a mediocre to terrible faith that is completely isolated, difficult to get off the ground (as far as converting other nations is concerned) and actively works against your mission tree.

    So how could paradox improve the religion?

    All paradox would need to do is allow Hussites to become league leaders and enforce their faith on the empire. This one simple change would turn the Hussite faith into a way to basically guarantee you the emperorship but at the cost of massive Imperial authority maluses. Sure everyone is basically forced to vote for you, but you have to go to war with nearly every prince and convert them via the peace deal if you want to gain any IA and pass any reforms. And on top of that you cant even start converting princes until the late 1500s to early 1600s after you have fought and won the league war.

    ​

    I would like to Acknowledge that yes most of this is historically accurate. The hussite faith was isolated to bohemia and didn't really take off anywhere else. Even in bohemia it never really was the official faith with hussite kings like jan trying to balance the hussite and catholic faiths. But EU4 is a game and that means historical accuracy has to be balanced with the gameplay and right now this faith seems to be designed to make the game more difficult for bohemia without any real benefits.
