How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, November 12th:
1893 – The treaty of the Durand Line delineating the border between present day Pakistan and Afghanistan is signed by Sir Mortimer Durand, a British diplomat in British India, and the Afghan Amir Abdur Rahman Khan; the Durand Line has gained international recognition as an international border between the two nations.
1927 – Leon Trotsky is expelled from the Soviet Communist Party, leaving Joseph Stalin in undisputed control of the Soviet Union.
1940 – World War II: Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov arrives in Berlin to discuss the possibility of the Soviet Union joining the Axis Powers.

You know what to do lads
>>
>>122104861
like I said it's been a while but what i always do is use my magistrates for a -inflation guy who should more than pay for himself if you mint as much as possible without gaining inflation (or mint more, you still have enough time to burn it off)
is Silesia not part of the trade league?
>>
>>122105016
I'm in the Hanseatic league but I just don't have enough free trade to keep the merchants alive for now, and for now I don't have enough monthly income to make money minting, I make 1.1 ducat per month and a level 6 master of the mint is 0.6.

For now I'm just going to spend all my magistrates on theologians, the AI is hardcoded to hire them even if they don't need them to cause the reformation so if I pop out a level 6 it'll give me 5 years worth of cash, that'll give me a decent stockpile to spend on merchants once my sliders are better.
>>
>>122105261
I didn't know about the theologians always getting hired, I think I tried making money with random advisors and it never really worked out
I definitely wanna try that as an OPM now, would you say it is better to try and only make advisors at 100% tradition or is it better to spam out low-quality ones as fast as possible?
>>
>>122105441
I havn't crunched the numbers but I always save up, a level one only costs 2 ducats vs 18 for a level 6 and I think the AI will prioritize hiring better advisors so a horde of level 1s or 2s probably won't get sold.

Another decent idea if you're playing miscmods is taking unum sanctum for its war exhaustion reduction then declaring war on the crusade target and milking war taxes and crusade bonuses for as long as you can, unless you're in a position for them to actually fight you there's no downside.
>>
>>122104995
Any more jewhans lad?
>>
>>122105682
17 ducats really is't that much m8
I never played miscmods besides dablling in the dark europe or whatever scenario, but in vanilla I can easily make 30+ ducats a year as any HRE OPM just by minting

Yeah but minting only gives you some of your monthly income, Mecklenburg, Bar or Holland with their cranked sliders for trading can roll in money right off the bat, someone who's merchants can't compete just won't have the monthly income to be able to do that, when you're at the bottom every 0.1 ducat counts.

Also Austria is now the Emperor, Bohemia is at war with all of Scandinavia and peasant revolts are slowly taking over all their provinces, they still have 30k troops but the time might be soon.

Nice.
Selling advisors as a minor is pretty efficient. Getting the iconoclast decisison? I think you need a theologian and patron of arts for that.
-8% base tax, but like +3% cultural tradition iirc.

If you're on HTTT you can get 3 compete chance advisors to help with your trade.

Yeah, you just need a church and Church Attendance duty which was my second idea, the 50 ducats from that architectural development event let me build the church too so it all worked out nicely, then I switched my second idea to bureaucracy since in miscmods it gives you +0.5 magistrates a year to spam paintings with.

>>122107390
Narrowminded is nice but I don't actually need anything it gives me, stability cost is irrelevant since I'm so tiny and I'm not colonizing or converting anyone anytime soon, might as well take the extra tech.

Now that I have another slider move into free trade and a stockpile of cash I'm gonna try switching my ideas to Merchant Adventures and National Trade Policy and hiring a high level master of the mint, took a while to get off the ground but I should be rolling in cash soon.

Hence the Galloglaighs, hopefully it'll only take one battle. It's such a ridiculous powergap between units that they kind of outclass the unit types that come after until mil tech 16, when you get Reformed Galoglaighs.

>>122117967
EU3 combat is actually much more forgiving than 4 IMO, it's more based on morale damage than casualties so stackwipes are a lot more common, and there are no nation specific ideas so anyone can take Military drill to get double their opponents morale for the first 100 years.

Bishops provide more tax than cities and more levies than castles. The only time they provide these benefits to the pope is if they like the pope more.

They don't automatically support the pope, and if you're good at the game all your bishops will be at 100+ relations.

Don't think of it as Silesia, but as the Duke of Silesia. He's a feudal lord, a proven general who just won independence from his liege and now controls a rich realm. Realistically I'd say goals from here should be trying to claim one of neighboring kingdoms, Bohemia is the strongest claim because of the former feudal relationship, Poland next strongest (Potocki is an old, powerful Polish noble family) and Hungary least but slightly justified because of its links to the Bohemian and Polish royal families and nobility.

Today when reading the past DDs from Stellaris, I've thought about a little game to test our space-nerdiness knowledge of space fiction.
The rule is simple: in the first level comment, a description of a race based on the four Ethos available in Stellaris, which are:
Collectivist - Individualist
Xenophobe - Xenophile
Militarist - Pacifist
Materialist - Spiritualist
and other people will guess what race it is. Be noted that the race must have been featured in films, books, video games. Please specify if you put 1 or 2 points into the Ethic you choose (for example: Fanatic Xenophile if 2 points, Xenophile if 1 point)
(if you don't remember, you can read it here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/stellaris-dev-diary-5-empires-and-species.887487/)

You can use more than 3 points to describe a race, as I feel the 3 point limit of the game is too, well, limiting.
If you think it's a little bit hard, you can include a hint or two. It's supposed to be challenging but fun!

There are a few nation specific decisions though that affect combat.

Like prussian and swedish discipline.

I think Poland has less cav cost and burgundy has less merc cost, but nothing else that affects combat that much iirc.

Well that was real fuckin naive of me, Poland almost instantly peaced out with the horde and sent 60k men my way, I took out two stacks but I had to take this peace offer, pretty cheap price to pay for a Kingdom though. Hungary white peaced out shortly after, it's just Bohemia and a few german OPMs now.

>>122126368
It's a very different mod, can't speak much about it since I gave up on EU4 really quickly after release but MEIOU for 3 was a total overhaul of everything, including the UI and how basic game systems work, it had a pretty big focus on historical accuracy, depth and difficulty, it was more or less the definition of a hardcore mod. MEIOU & Taxes just seemed to be D&T (the very definition of a casual mod) with an autistic map.
