    The Imperial Council - /r/eu4 Weekly General Help Thread: November 22 2021

    Posted: 22 Nov 2021 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, 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.

    Posted: 22 Nov 2021 04:08 PM PST

    If I understand correctly 'good ending-bad ending' is a meme now, so let's see what you think the good ending for EU4 is.

    Does anyone else roleplay there games?

    Posted: 22 Nov 2021 05:54 PM PST

    It's a bit embarrassing to ask, but as you play the game do you ever like pretend that you're apart of history or something? Like you create your own alternate timeline

    Why Offensive Ideas are the best military ideas for a World Conquest

    Posted: 22 Nov 2021 10:24 AM PST

    I've seen the Offensive vs Quantity debate take place a lot for wide play. All I'll say is that when I was less good at the game, I always favoured Quantity whereas now I think they're a waste of Mil points.

    If we're looking at a World Conquest, what matters? Speed and efficiency. In the late game, Discipline and Siege ability are a finite resource, whereas manpower (which is all you get from Quantity) is not. Manpower can be accumulated by buildings, trade company investments and an aggressive use of slackening professionalism. Conquering more land and building the right buildings will always give you more manpower.

    On the other hand, there is only so much Discipline (which minimises manpower losses) and siege ability you can get. Siege ability allows you to 1) Siege race your way to victory and 2) Avoid taking costly battles to ensure victory. Discipline, as previously mentioned, works in the same manner.

    Quantity does nothing to improve your speed of conquest. All it may do is improve your ability to deal with rebels but if you are playing properly and converting the land, or alternatively taken Humanist ideas, then your rebel problem should be minimal.

    I would strongly suggest that in any World Conquest, you only need one Military idea because reducing the cost of conquest (Via Administrative, Religious, Diplomatic or Influence Ideas) is more important. Therefore, if you're to pick one, 100% go with Offensive. It'll improve your generals, speed up your sieges, minimise your manpower losses in battle and has some nice policies to boot.

    Quantity fans come at me bro ;p

    What Game Changing Updates would you like to see in Eu5

    Posted: 22 Nov 2021 10:08 PM PST

    I do not mean something that could be a dlc. I mean something that changes the base of the game

    • Wintering: very little fighting ever happened in the winter in this time. In winter you should have the choice between continuing to move your troops with drastically increased casualties. Or your troops having to remain in one province for the winter
    • Multiple types of revolutions. Split into Revolts and Revolution. Like in CK2, revolts are just an army of troops going around. While Revolutions act as a separate country and fighting them is a full war, these are course a lot more rare. -More Focus on late game. sieging land will take less and less time. And there is less time in peace treaties (Napoleonic Wars) -More structured events like the Reformation War. Maybe end game Napoleonic War where one nation spawns the revolution and gets a huge buff, where it slowly conquers/forcefully allies all of Europe, unless it can be stopped. Maybe 1-2 per ages

    What do you think?

    How good is Show Strength?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2021 01:04 AM PST

    I've basically just defaulted to taking provinces every time I can, to the max I can. But... 300 mana, and getting to keep a mana farm, and having no rebels after the war, and not spending anything to secure your winnings... does seem.. neat. Especially when their lands kind of suck.

    Am I hyping it up too much, or is it actually a legitimately useful war goal? (Assuming you are in such a position to trounce a rival and not care about earning money back from your conquests.)
