They aren't bordered with venice, I haven't gotten a warning, they aren't the defender of the faith, I already checked that. England is and they are my ally

I am Byzantium.

On second though, maybe England will wipe all their ships out for me

They're apparently putting out patch 5.2 soon.

And they're scrapping Paradox Connect and the achievements system. Not sure what that'll do to multiplayer since they never said much about it.

Oh no! My hard-earned achie....wait. I think I have one freakin' achievement. Meh.

I looked through the achievements and they're all really easy, luck based, or retardedly difficult.

Ok, does Great Britain get like a ship building bonus or something? Because its ~1480 and GBR just steamrolled my fleet with 66 big ships, not a couple years back they only had like 5 big ships and 30 galleys (which I destroyed in a war.)

Are you sure it was 66 big ships, and not 6 and 60 galleys? Because in Death and Taxes, galleys are made extremely fast. You can grow a army of galleys 60 strong in ~two months with the brits.

If not, its totally possible they just went extreme with the ship-making in every province.

D&T starts in 1356, so yea, getting GB that early happens.

[Rez]

So are Mediterranean empires easier to do in D&T then?

[Catastrophic lolcats]

On the topic of Death and Taxes, is there a way to revert the GOD AWFUL flags/coat of arms they added? It's really quite horrible to behold and makes it hard to figure out which country is which.

[Dutchling]

Copy vanilla flags into the D&T flag folder, anything with a vanilla TAG will be reverted.

[Catastrophic lolcats]

Heh. I thought it would take a lot more busy work. Thanks for that.

EDIT: It worked. Now the flags don't look like they were made in the Fallout 3 universe.

Second EDIT: Seems like there's some silly events in this mod. Link because it's of decent size.

66 big ships.

No, in an earlier war when I was bff's with France I destroyed their entire galley fleet (5 bigs ships and 40-something galleys) then the next war they came back with 66 big ships

EDIT: I am although foremost naval power in the mediterranean and new world coast now (playing as savoy)

EDITEDIT: that's a pretty funny bug lolcats

[Catastrophic lolcats]

The best part of that event was losing relation with myself.

[Andrew425]

So i'm playing my first real game. (The original one I had 97% inflation 50 years into it because I had no idea what I was doing)

I've been settling the north american continent and a bit of indonesia. I got in a couple of nasty battles with castille and my empire almost fell apart after my infamy went way way over the limit after I forces Scotland to be annexed.

It's 1801 and i'm in a life and death struggle with France right now, we had been at peace for the last 300 years but they were allied to the cherokee and they declares on me.

If my north American forces remain strong and I keep France from building a fleet I think I can win this war.

[Lumbajak]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So I've never actually played this far into a game before, is it normal to go from tech 30 to 60 in the last 100 years of the game?

I know the size of my country (And especially the ludicrous amount of 1 tax provinces I own) makes tech investments difficult.


On an unrelated note: The four best CoTs in the game are Huron, Mexico, Andalucia, Alexandria
They're worth about 5000, 3000, 2500 and 2000 respectively.

(And most of the world is still either my vassal or in a PU with me)

[dogstile]

The trick is to not let them get that foothold in the first place, silly.

[Azthor]

The price for metals and exotic resources skyrocket, while the cost of tech investment decreases to representate the increased technological progress; in other words, yes, that jump in technology levels is perfectly normal.

So I'm having a really good game in Death and Taxes (first time I've played it) with the Papal State. Managed to steal Constantinople extremely early from the Byzantines who were locked in a brutal war with the Ottomans. A couple good events got me vassaling and conquering most of Italy, a few more decent events or some lucky wars to steal some provinces and my foothold should be completely uncontested. Jerusalem managed to become independent due to rebels and to cap that off they were Sunni! A very quick holy war later and I now own almost all the Holy Cities.

So now I'm thinking up my master plan now that the Papal State is getting much stronger. It's well before the age of colonising however. My plan is to take India because they have some awesome provinces that should let me dominate trade.
So my master plan to get to India is rather than to go historical West I'll go East. Conquering south from Judea through the Mamelukes and Hedjez, taking Mecca along the way, wrapping around Yemen and waiting for cores. Then constructing a navy/army to flank India from the Westen coast. Finally moving on to SEA, Oceania, South America and Western-North America (couple of African ports aswell).
Should allow me to construct a massive colonial kingdom of heaven without having to compete with rival empires.

What do you think?
