@freefo...ler; how do you check your patch, and how do you update them? I lokked, but I didn't notice anything obvious, of course I also didn't have time for an exhaustive search.

In general I find allies are useful in the early game but after 1550 (I've only ever made it to ~1640 due to the ridiculous save times after the first hundred years) I have collect enough vas-holes (dohoho) to find other allies unnecessary.

EDIT: How does one go about 'breaking' a nation?

From checking files, I believe to cause a nation to collapse their capitol needs to be under rebel control for 2 years. You'll need to get creative. No pretenders, as they'll disappear as soon as they take over the capitol I believe.

The game has a built-in updater I believe. If you use that it'll upgrade you to the newest patch.

Thank you. I'm known for looking for stuff with my eyes wide closed. It happened here too. *Runs off to try update.*

I'm thinking of running a LP in a few weeks where I play as the emperor. IE. whenever the emperor dies and a new faction becomes emperor I switch to them. As a rule there will be no beibing electors and no going out of my way to vassalize them. Thoughts?

Well I am playing as Trier, and for some reason, my neighbor (forgot the name) who has the same number of provinces (2), smaller population, same trade goods, less/worse merchants in the CoT's, more/more expensive non economy related advisors, and a non economy related idea (I have an economy related one) has similar income to me, yet has 4 more armies (me 6, him 10).

He has had no inflation increase for the past dozen years, I have my army maintenance all the way down, I even have more advanced tech allowing me to build buildings earlier then him..... The only reason I can think of is war subsidies or taxes but he isn't at war. He is however allied with Burgundy but I don't see how that can get him money. I am baffled at how he can maintain such an army while I have a smaller one yet am at the edge of going negative per year.

What difficulty level is your game at?

[Micro102]

Default

Hmmmm...

I have no idea then. Truly.

Try loading up as him temporarily. See how he's doing internally.

So does EU3 just have substantially less available options for which kingdom/country/whatever you choose than Crusader Kings or am I missing something?

[Tarran]

You can choose ANY country you want to choose. Heck, choose the doomed Granada, Salzburg, etc... if you want to.

Just click on the world map to choose a country (I thought this initially, but then I realised that when I chose a scenario, my choices weren't just limited to the shields on the bottom of the screen).

Oh yes.

Probably my favorite thing about Paradox Interactive's 4X games has been my ability to choose a small, unheard of province and go haha screw you history as I slit the throat of France or somesuch a whole 100 years the people I picked were supposed to be dead.

[Tarran]

Indeed. That is literally one of my favorite things about EU3. Pick anything you want, and still have a semi-reasonable chance of doing awesomely.

The load times... Glorious. Auto-hunt rebels... USeful for large empires but I'm not at that state in my Austria yet. Did they add anything else other than the new mapmodes and labelling the shortcuts?

[freeformschooler]

I've gone over the tutorials twice and it all still confuses me, but you know? That's alright, because I'll just push on through and learn through trial-and-error. Man this is such a fun game, one time I played EU2 and thought it was pretty boring. This is way different.
