Is me disliking trade ships becoming a new meme

@@LemonCake101I hope so lol

@@LemonCake101 Is conquering the world always the right move to you xd

i prefer playing tallish and i still barely use light ships, its just way easier to just conquer a couple trade centers, trade company them and maybe build a marketplace and own like 70% or more of the trade power. And even when i cant do that theres a so much more important stuff i could be doing with my money than building half my naval force limit’s worth of light ships only to get like 10% extra trade power on a good day. The only time i use lightships is if i happen to capture them in a war

Trade ships for me feel like that thing that can be quite helpfull early game to get more trade power in your node, like building a lot of trade ships in the english channel as a dutch minor so you can pass the english without having to conquer too much, but late game if I don't already have a lot of them, I usually don't bother building more

I remember hearing about this. I don'tknow if it has been properly tested to see if it is true.

It is​@@noxfelis5333

@@noxfelis5333 i tested it works

So I know a couple peeps now said it was fixed, but I tested in 1.37 and it still does not apply tactics bonuses, they just claimed it, meaning its glorified Inf CA/Cav CA etc.

Its definitely a very... stacked roster for sure.

I used it once in a Bavaria game when i wanted to stay Catholic and i shit you not my country on the religion mapmode looked like a protestant island in a Catholic sea. Hated that bonus/edict since that game

​@@TheMightofDabBuuuuut you did stop the spread to your neughbour provinces

Used it during my Frankfurt to the Andes run and it worked like a charm. While the state maintenence put strain on my economy, it would've been much worse had my provinces not been catholic.

Tbh the only country it probably has significant use on is like someone who cares about other nations not becoming Protestant more than just preventing the reformation which is like not really the HRE Emperor because minus the niche case where you can't right away you should just delete key the reformation, and even then it's just straight up too slow to unlock for the emperor to make use of it. I think the only instance that could be consistent is like Anglican GB with the Anglican center of reformation for free conversions but with some MP buddies who don't want that center converting all their land. That could maybe also work with like Reformed France, lots of provinces for the center to chip away at and thus a lot of time to slow the reformation. Maybe it could help with religious wars too by keeping people from joining your true faith for more cbs on heretics and cheaper provinces from the other age ability, plus religious/humanist would both help you get it faster and help you deal with the wonky religious state you'd have for a while. Honestly the best single nation for it might be singleplayer Byzantium assuming the centers and and do target you, mostly since you either would have stopped the Reformation before it started by mending the schism or are preparing to mend the schism and want to keep things Catholic while not usually being in a position to kill the centers. However outside of Europe and mostly Catholic Europe it's completely useless unless it somehow has an effect to reduce event based conversions to. If it does limit events for conversions then it might actually be useful for Confucion nations on specific provinces with religion specific monuments/modifiers since you can't convert harmonized religions but can be cucked by them(would have been more important when you couldn't culture convert in harmonized religions). But since that's probably not the case besides... actually trade nodes with religious propogation might count so if it does then it would be helpful there, just hard useless otherwise besides larp. TL;DR, it's a bonus that benefits Catholicism as a whole rather than you specifically so there's maybe ways to use that but besides niche scenarios why bother. (Also it might be useful for juggling religious zeal if the centers really love your country but that's really niche and limited compared to just killing the protestants with the province war score cost)

Plus the very good dev reduction on mountain (and I think hills, not sure) from the mission tree and the one from Infrastructure ideas got me most provinces down to 3~5 dev cost in my latest Eranshar run. Hitting a thousand income and almost a million manpower in the early 1600 was definitely something I wasn't fully prepared to see considering I'm not usually a min-maxer

they should make persia way harder to conquer and give ottomans or russia this buff just for the lulz

@@gabrieldossantos1116 yep, you also get a comical amount of manpowe modifiers from estate & missions

They knew it wasn't balanced, the thing is they do not care anymore and just want to sell the dlcs

Yup, perfectly balanced, trust.

I mean yeah it's good, but S already got VERY crowded.

I would say it’s S tier in Europe and B tier in other regions

It also halves aggressive expansion, which is INSANE early game Europe when development is relatively low.

@@THX-1138wait really? On the transfer subject action or just in general?

@@Lovelandmonkey On the subject transfer, so if it was 100 AE you would be under coalition at 50 instead

True if you can be bothered to micro it, but I see way too many people not hence I nocked it down to take into account actual playstyles I have seen

honestly by the time I unlock force march mana is already unlimited so I could care less about it costing mil points.

I mean many things need their own tier here don't get me wrong.

It and admin eff would probably in its own tier

Oh wow, fair enough: that's amazing! (ly bad)

As a Dutch person myself I now wonder if your history teacher perhaps had a weird accent when pronouncing "gouden eeuw" and made you think it was "grauwe eeuw".

i will never understand complaints about eurocentrism in a game called "universal europe" set in the age of europeans throwing haymakers at everyone else on the planet

Sorry, they claimed to have fixed it, tested in 1.37 and it wasn't effecting tactics.

@@LemonCake101 ok ty for the info

@@Mattis06 np

They CLAIMED to have fixed it, afaik when I played with it on 1.37 it was still broken.

Thanks, it was suggested by a viewer!

@@LemonCake101 yeah me 😂

@@jric6283 oh fair!

I have definitely made hating trade ships into a meme haven't I

​​@@LemonCake101 can you make a tier list for military modifiers?

So sad 5 dip rep for Austria was one of the last stupid number modifiers from the old days

It's a 100% "must have" for all Orthodox countries, since all of them are surrounded by sunni or catholic nations

Completely cracked as shia mughals but also for Japan (esp if you stack with Oda ideas)

I remember doing a game in 1.37 and it still being broken AFAIK, because I believe they claimed to have fixed it, and they didn't.

Yes, but I consider birding overall acceptable, if that makes sense.

Could be an idea, but a lot of people made ideas tier lists so I am worried about insulting people as I describe why they are wrong in detail.

@@LemonCake101 i think tbh its been covered well enough already, zlewikk did one, habibi did one for mp/casual sp/wc tryhard, so its not really worth going "hey, this is why your akshually wrong"

You can also take aragon if you have diplo ideas

I remember being able to take Sweden with transfer subject in my first war no problem, the problem is them staying as a subject long enough for me to have a chance to do it

@@diogomelo7897 they lost land to somebody or you had a bonus to war score. You need to reduce them by 19 dev.

@@abrvalg321 I don't remember if they lost any province, but it might have been the war score reduction, because I was playing as Austria and it was possibly after I completed diplo ideas

Hey, I don't aim to make them pretty, I am to rank them!

domination dlc i think. france is more powerful overall now and i think musketeers get some fire damage

Domination, France gets them on a unique unit now.

Sounds like you need to take more overextension them. More money means more troops over forcelimit, so faster expansion/rebel fighting etc.

They said they fixed it. They lied.

Most of my conquest gets done in the age of reformation. By age of absolution I have pretty much conquered the world and my computer is dying

Bongo

I mean that is a one faith, with Humanist on the side, so you are converting: I meant in pure non-conversion WC's which I believe are still in the majority

Oh its good, I just have to say I feel like most times I see it, people don't bother to micro it.

Welcome to the club

not the Inca specifically, I was more referring to a geographical area that was religiously united in fairness. Yes, it should be consolidated by 1510 ish.

They are not as bad as he says, but they aren't much better, because you only benefit from having them if you have a coast and you are in a good trade node

As for wanting to build galleys/heavies instead in single player, How many galleys/heavies do you really need to beat the AI? Not that many, especially as Venice who has all these naval combat ideas. So if you don't the force limit for combat boats what else will you use your Naval Force limit for? And if for some reason you do need to build more combat boats, it's really cheap to go over naval force limit.

@@heliogonzalezsanchez8227 Then use your light ships to pirate a good trade node, if that good trade node contains one of your rivals, you also get power projection

@@micahbonewell5994 the problem i see with light ships is that they are useful for small trade oriented countries that can make a lot of trade money even if they are small, but for the rest, unless playing tall, which also falls into the small countries, the best way to make money from trade is by just conquering those provinces in a trade node, and instead of only getting trade money, you get taxes and manpower too

you guys are building boats?

Shock modifiers can be found in a lot more countries than siege modifiers, and even if +1 shock is good, you can't deny that having faster sieges is better than having better troops

+1 shock pips is easier to find than +1 siege pips and faster sieges is what wins you wars in eu4 SP

@@heliogonzalezsanchez8227 It is not that I disagree with your point, but i find +1 shock worthy to be low A as it is still a very strong pip category considering shock is still very valuable in combat at that point in time. You can't compare 1 shock to + prestige on conversion, for example, imo the +1 shock is way stronger than the prestige on conversion.

Compare to the others chief: like you are comparing to PWSC, Admin Efficiency, etc.

Oh yeah and siege pips are a lot harder then shock pips: they literally roll half the time compared to shock pips.
