    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!

    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.

    Is anyone else disappointed that Johan is now leading the EU4 development team with Paradox Tinto?

    Posted: 10 May 2021 08:11 AM PDT

    I know that this may be an unpopular opinion, but if you look at Johann's history of developing content for EU4 all that he has really added to the game has been more buttons to press to get more stacked modifiers. Trade investments and monuments are just another thing to spend admin points and ducats on when you have nothing else to use them for and all they add are static modifiers. None of these features fundamentally change the way you play the game. I know for some people, this is the content that they really like, but I personally find it very uninteresting. For EU4's longevity, I feel like the DLC's should offer more dynamic and diverse content than "spend x amount of ducats/monarch points to receive y modifier", and that seems to be Johan's development philosophy for EU4. Especially with the prices that Paradox charges for the DLCs, there just needs to be more.

    Say what you will about Emperor's launch fiasco, but I feel like the features that Groogy and Co. introduced into the game through that DLC were genuinely innovative and interesting. Though the spread of the revolution is a little broken, it created a new and interesting late-game dynamic that forces you to switch up how you're playing your campaign: either by embracing the revolution and launching punitive campaigns to spread the revolution or by aggressively try to crush it as a reactionary absolutist. Honestly, I think that the features added in Emperor were really interesting, but it seemed that post-launch the DLC didn't get the support it needed and now a lot of the content from Emperor still doesn't really work how the developers intended them to.

    It seems like now that Johann is at the helm of EU4 again, he's not going to improve on the existing features in the game in interesting and new ways. And if that's the future of the game then I just can't get excited about new DLC anymore.

    More flavour for Chagatai

    Posted: 10 May 2021 08:44 AM PDT

    There's a quite noticeable lack of flavour for the great nation of Chagatai, as other threads have already pointed out. Chagatai was an important power in Central Asia, which had declined only after the Timurid conquest of Transoxiana. By 1444, although much weaker, they still were a significant power in the region, with a rich history that needs to be better represented. Some ideas:

    Starting ruler: Esen Buqa II, 3/3/4 ruler, 29 years old, Well connected personality already enabled.

    Starting heir: Dost Muhammad, 0/0/1,

    Scripted advisors: - Available at game start in 1444: Doughlat Sayyid Ali, statesman, level 2, 50% cheaper. - An event popping after 1470: Ali Shir Navai, philosopher, level 2, 50% cheaper.

    Events: - at Esen Buqa's death, the player is presented with a decision: accept Yunus Khan as the new ruler (1/1/0), or face a rebelion. As soon as the rebels have taken a province, all western neighbours (Uzbek, Transoxiana) are presented with an option to support Yunus (lose 2000 manpower, and instantly another pro-Yunus rebel army appears at any province controled by Chatagai), or support the current ruler and improve relations with Chagatai. - if Esen Buqa dies before Chagatai's vassal Yarkand is integrated, Chagatai should get an event called "Mirza Abu Bakr Doughlat rebels", which adds 50% liberty desire to Yarkand.

    Missions:

    - Line 1. Western Expansion:

    * Prepare for war (100% of force limit recruited, has at least 60% manpower) Gives 20-year claims in the whole Transoxiana trade node / plus 5% army morale for 20 years

    * Retake Transoxiana (at least 10 provinces in the Transoxiana trade node are controlled by Chagatai) Gives permanent claims claims in the eastern parts of the Timurid empire / plus 10% caravan power for the rest of the game

    * End the Timurid rule (Timurids do not exist, or have less than 5 provinces) Gives permanent claims in the Persian region / plus 0.5 yearly legitimacy

    * Into Persia (at least 15 provinces in the Persian region are controlled by Chagatai) Gives plus 1 tolerance of heretics

    * Restore the Ilkhanate. Becomes the Ilkhanate, iqta government, kingdom rank, gains Persian/Azerbaijani as accepted cultures, adopt new ideas, 25 prestige, etc. The Ilkhanate should have its ideas improved, so it isn't a downgrade as it's usually right now for any nation forming it.

    - Line 2. Culture:

    * Promote Chagatai literature (has an admin or diplo advisor level 2, capital has at least 20 development and a mosque) Gain 100 admin points / minus 10% culture conversion cost for the rest of the game

    * Adopt Persian culture (has a level 2 advisor of Persian culture, and at least 30 development in provinces of Persian culture) Plus 15% religious unity for the rest of the game.

    - Line 3. Eastern expansion:

    * I am too tired to keep doing this. I will do a follow up in a few days. Cheerio.
