    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.

    Byzantium vs Muscovy > Russia for an Orthodox One Faith

    Posted: 10 Jan 2022 03:04 AM PST

    Been debating this a little so maybe you guys can give me your opinion, which is better for a one faith?

    I've done several World Conquests and have played both countries extensively so I am not worried about conquering the world as either of them, but I am worried about converting everything in time.

    Here's the pros I've listed for both:

    Byzantium:

    • +3 Missionary Strength in National Ideas. iirc this is the highest in the game, Najd has 2%.
    • Can ally big Western European countries earlier (Spain/France/Great Britain) and potentially PU them to get the colonies quicker.
    • Amazing mission from mission tree that allows all Christian nations with positive relations with you to convert to Orthodox meaning you don't even need to conquer Europe to get them to become Orthodox. Although this mission can get screwed by a very harsh Council of Trent making the positive relations impossible.
    • Can convert high dev Sunni provinces earlier due to geographic position (think of Cairo).
    • Access to Jerusalem earlier.

    Muscovy > Russia:

    Main bonus here is I am 100% sure you can conquer the world faster as Russia for the following reasons:

    • Inbuilt CCR (and a 5% Admin Efficiency mission but that's for late-game) that Byzantium doesn't have.
    • Absolutism modifiers.
    • Governing capacity modifiers.
    • Free Siberia for you.
    • Streltsy are gorgeous.
    • Can conquer into Persia pre-1500s and China pre-1600s. If you've cleared out the Steppes which you have claims on prior to this all that trade flows back to Novgorod meaning you're more than rich enough to upgrade all religious monuments early.

    Conquering the world faster obviously means you can convert the provinces earlier.

    Anyway, I'd really appreciate some input and feedback from this community :)

    P.S: I know that a one faith is easier as Catholic HRE Emperor Austria or the Mughals, but I want to do an Orthodox one faith and I've already conquered the world as both countries and can't be bothered to do it again.

    Help me figure out this Burgundian Inheritance

    Posted: 10 Jan 2022 07:18 AM PST

    Playing as Castille, the year is 1503, Charles de Bourgougne is 73 years old. I am Burgundy's only ally, we have a RM, they rival France and have a negative opinion about the current emperor (Hesse), thanks to some of my favors.

    From what I can tell from the wiki, I have the highest chance of getting the PU, yet no matter how many times I savescum for it, Burgundy always chooses Hesse as PU partner...

    Am I missing something that prevents me from getting it? The only thing I can think of is the fact that the RM dies with Charles and the game checks for it and isn't there?.... Maybe?....

    Also, and this is what baffles me, Charles actually has a 43 year old male heir, which I thought prevented the inheritance from firing, but apparently not? Maybe I'm just unable to read the wiki outright...
