Is it cool to talk about Victoria 2 in this thread? The first page was talking about it, but I dont want to derail.

[Tarran]

There's a thread for Vic2 here.

There's also an older one here.

Looks like the papal states.

I think you're confused on what I mean by "D&T".

D&T=Death and Taxes.

This game is VERY good at giving the impression that your soldiers are useless jackasses. Multiple times I have lost battles that I should have won, or at least put up a good fight in. But the RNG loves rolling ones and twos for every important battle.

It's always about amount of troops. In my last ottomans game i fought some randoms batlles here and there and keep losing sometimes despite huge advantage in tech(say my gustavians vs they maurician). So I made a house rule. They have 52 stack? I bring 80. 60? I throw hundred. Cant lose that way 

The real problem is to win naval battles. I can bring my entire forcelimit of navies to one battle but i cant win vs Spain/GB because I have no access to that crazy 3-3-3 admirals. And never will.

I think your big issue there is trying to fight naval battles against Great Britain or Spain.

I am not talking about day zero.
It's 1650, I have 400 naval forcelimit and better naval tech AND i scrapped&rebuild all fleet when i reached twodecker. From naval ideas I have +1 morale, but lack positioning one. Still, I lost some 98 vs like 30 in Spain brawl. I tried 50 with much better pos. value and same result. My positioning due cannons number was just ~75%, but even this is not a problem. Morale dropping to zero in first day is. And ofc we talk about full maintenance. My naval tradition is just ~1 so I can't afford crazy admirals.

It's not like I complain, I am number one land power, I just wish I could land some half million troops on their lands to teach them a lesson

Also with my huge empire I found some neat trick with manufacturies. It's not well documented an you could miss one. With every 10 extra force limit(land 6 buildings) you can build extra manufactories on base price. So I basically spam manufactories when I cover everything with mundane 1-3 prod/trade buildings. Now that crazy metal rich russian lands have 150+ prod/trade value (dont forget to put some lone artillery on some beachy island to inflate inner market demand) Talk about RICH. And as off bonus, 1mil land forcelimit and millions manpower

I just lost a battle of my 98,000 Gallagher Troops VS 32,000 same-tech-level Hansa troops. Full morale.

Explain.

AI Being a cheating bastard and the RNG hates your guts. Trust me, I know the feeling.
