How is your EU3 Game going?

[SouthernKing]

So much infamy.

Also because the Romans/Byz gets this horrendous "wrath of god" (something like that) modifier at the start of MEIOU that I think increases infamy.

 

[Kyriakos]

Yes, it decreases rather the infamy limit by -10...

Some progress:

The pathetic dutchy of Athens managed to create enough mercs to stop me from annexing it, although i deliberately allowed it to control one of my provinces so that aragon would not take anything from it in its war.

There was also a massive war against Naples and Tarnovo, in which i took two provinces from Tarnovo and signed peace with Naples with the comedic agreement that i would annul all treaties with the albanian nation (i had a right of passage there).

Also managed to take one province from Ak Koyonlu, and now have half of my army stationed there so as to rapidly expand in eastern Asia Minor.

I am allied to Hungary- they asked and i accepted. So hopefully no more wars with Naples for the time being...

So I'm still playing as France, no major territorial acquisitions lately but I'm wondering how inflation works. For example, I have been building a couple manufactories to boost investments and income (if I understand them correctly). I have noticed that recently the price has risen from 700 to 1120 ducats and I'm wondering if it's due to my treasury slider (even though it says my inflation reduces each year) or if it's because of production efficiency or something like that. Could you help me understand this?

Spoiler :

EDIT: Now 1330 ducats each manufactory

The price of manufactories always rises by a set price each time you build them. They stop being worth it once they hit about 3000 gold.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks

The level of inflation can be seen on the Domestic Economy interface screen of the Domestic Management interface. Inflation is presented as a percentage and is strongly linked to minting. An inflation of '4.0' means that affected costs are increased by 4%, so under this level of inflation an action costing 100 ducats would instead cost 104 ducats, disregarding any other factors.

The following costs are affected by inflation:

Army and Navy recruitment
Army and Navy maintenance
Building province improvements and manufactories
Stability investments
Research investments
Spies, missionaries, merchants and colonists
Advisors (both appointment and monthly salary)

Costs in events are not affected by inflation.

A question: can a province belonging to a horde defect to you without colonizing it?

 

[Optical]

I think it can happen with patriot rebels.

 

[Kyriakos]

Thanks, but i do not have those for the province i wanted...

Anyway it is 1404 now, and i am not quite #1, but getting there:

I caused the semi-collapse of the Mameluks (they are in war with many western nations now) with some notable help from my ally Georgia, who cleaned up two of their armies.

Next i should be liberating the rest of Asia Minor.

Some things to notice: Monster Murom and Guyenne.

 

[hoplitejoe]

The infamy keeps on rising and rising though.... It must be killing your trade.

 

[Kyriakos]

Well i do not really mind that since i have a CoT of my own, and plan to create a second one soon.

And the infamy will get lower with time, all the provinces in anatolia cost (unless they are capitals) only 1 infamy point. After annexing Anatolia i will lay low for a while

 

[hoplitejoe]

Is that the pope in Denmark?

Are they cores at least?

 

[Quintillus]

Hoplitejoe, on that big map, I missed that Persia was right beside the Horde, and thought the Horde stretched from the Persian Gulf to almost the Gulf of Finland. That would have been a scary horde! As it is Aragon is doing nicely along with yourself.

I played with 115 infamy in my game by having a 600,000-man army, about half of which spent its time automatedly whacking moles, in sufficient sizes that they rarely lost (and almost never were annihilated), but small enough to not suffer casualties, and thus keep war weariness at or near zero. I did turn off rebel and battle notifications since that was indeed way too many popups. As Burgundy, though, my rebel stacks weren't 30,000 - more like 14,000 in the big cities, 8000 or so in smaller areas.

But that much infamy is enough you can't get trade even in your own CoTs...

I see you are playing MEIOU, the mechanics about the horde in there are different, countries in eastern Europe are likely to not get colonists for quite some time, so instead they will usually gain the provinces through defection

I think that's Schleswig/Holstein/whatever it is in MEIOU, it has similar color.

 

[hoplitejoe]

MEIOU colours are beyond awful, the Mamluk make me feel ill.

I like the MEIOU graphics and the way they expanded the map to include more of the globe (Central Africa, Western North America, Australia) but the provinces are weirdly shaped, often fragmented, elongated, and screwed with in horrendous ways.
I like the colors through.

 

[W|M]

The provinces are weirdly shaped because historical borders weren't all roughly square or rectangular.

I particular like the border of Troyes-something, on the eastern border with France/Burgundy.
