EU4 1.34 is actually really fun! I usually dislike playing tall but RIGA is not only the ULTIMATE PLAYING TALL nation but also the best trading nation... all whilst staying as one province! Much better than EU4 1.33, Lions of the North fixes EVERYTHING! You can even SELL INDULGENCES! You have to try playing as Riga with this new mission tree. Treat this like an EU4 Riga guide because it's AWESOME!

So the "Only have 6 provinces" thing actually says "in Europe", meaning that as Riga you could pull a Portugal and just have loads of trade cities all over the world! Or just go full colonial and make even more ridiculous fat stacks of cash.

@TheSocialStreamers not relevant to Riga, but through a rare event chain, you CAN become Norse in-game. The requirements are: - Danish, Swedish, Norweigan, Icelandic or Norse as primary Culture - in Age of Discovery -Not had the country flag "had_norse_nostalgia" - is excommunicated OR has modifier "the_statue_in_restraint_of_appeals" - ruler has Scholar trait OR Sinner trait OR is at least 5/5/5 - ⁠Owns the province Bergslagen - ⁠Is independent It ⁠Takes 100 years to trigger (religious ideas and excommunication will have a multiplier of 0.5, reducing it to 50 or 25 if you have both.)

@kabobawsome Год назад

That's crazy rare, yeah, because it basically requires you to have a 5/5/5 ruler for 100 years. If you're going for it, though, it shouldn't be too hard to rush Religious Ideas, save scum for a 5/5/5 ruler, and then just everything you can to piss off the papal controller into excommunicating you.

I just started a Lübeck campaign in the new DLC and patch and I have to say, their new mission tree update is a lot of fun and seems to be in a similar vein to Riga here. Well worth a go if you enjoyed this one! Definitely going to have to give Riga a go now

@bencohen5478 Год назад

Lübeck is a lot of fun in 1.34 - really well paced mission trees with good rewards (am currently working toward converting Lubeck (city) producing ~7.5 goods to a gold province through mission should be fun lol

@combrade-t Год назад

Seems like a pretty fun campaign. One thing I wish you could do with it is increase the amount of provinces you could have a bit over time so you can just slowly take control and make trade companies out of an insane amount of land and through it get insane goods produced modifiers for vassals then taking vassal income modifiers to take the money for yourself. Seems like that could be a pretty easy way to get the 70%+ goods produced modifier you can get from Trade companies in a region. It's a pretty fun goal towards to stack goods produced through it, and using vassals probably supercharges it because they can still have it as a state for all provinces outside of the trade centre so any downsides of the strategy are less so. (I learnt it a while back from Florry's channel, or i think it may be second channel? It's a fun thing to try and get up there with little downside usually)

@nymasajista9207 Год назад

Yeah Adal is a great nation to play as they have a nice color and their ideas are all military and trade. Take out Ethiopia right away so they don't grow and you get the local gold mines, then take the Gulf of Aden and Zanzibar nodes to collect in Zanzibar. After taking all the provinces in the Ivory Coast then Cape becomes an end node that can't be pulled out of where you can route all trade from Zanzibar, Coromandel, and Malacca making it the richest node in the world. Exploration, Aristocratic, Expansion, Trade, and Offensive were the ideas I had before I stopped that game as I had snowballed so much I got bored and started as Bengal.

As long you use the "consolidated development" regularly on new conquered territory for your vassals, you capital should outgrow the development of your vassals. Rest is army strength, simply stick to forcemlimit.

@efulmer8675 Год назад

You get -33% LD from subject's development through a modifier from the mission tree, and then if you go with Naval, Expansion, Exploration, and Religious (which all seem like good choices with Riga as the 5 province limit is for European provinces only and they fit well with what Riga needs), you get another -30% LD from subject's development in two policies (-63% overall, so only like 10 LD per 100 development instead of 25), and then Influence gives a flat -15 LD and a policy with Plutocratic gives another -10 LD. Then you get another -6 LD from diplo rep from Influence, another -50 because they're historical friends, another -20 once you get trust up to 100, and another -20 for max relations. In theory this means that you could have two vassals each with about 1200 development before you've reached 0 LD again, and if you make them both marches, you could get up to about 1500 each.

But doesn't adding more estate privileges kill your absolutism completely? If you end your playthroughs by 1600 then you probably don't care, but otherwise it would be nigh impossible of getting rid of the estate influence later on, no?

@efulmer8675 Год назад

It does, but there's a good number of modifiers to estate loyalty that makes it easier to revoke them (Aristocratic gives +10 nobility loyalty, Trade gives +10 burghers loyalty, Religious gives +10 clergy loyalty), and if you avoid giving out or revoke the +1 mana privilege that gives the -5 loyalty before going wild with the big influence privileges then loyalty actually isn't too difficult to get, and if you deliberately trigger the Court and Country disaster, obliterate everybody, and end the disaster with Absolutism at least 65, you get a permanent modifier of +20 max absolutism for the rest of the game (+10 if you have between 30 and 65) which offsets a fair amount of the absolutism loss from having the privileges. I did a game as France and had a few significant privileges and still had 100 max absolutism this way.

@efulmer8675 Год назад

EU4 is pretty difficult and in-depth. My best suggestion is to start as a bigger nation (bigger nations won't result in you getting annexed if you accidentally screw up something) and focus on one thing. For example, Portugal is one of the 'tutorial nations' because you can more-or-less ally Castile/Spain for the entire game and be very safe while you focus on colonizing the known universe. Once you get a handle on colonizing, you could try playing Castile where your attention is more split between European and Colonial affairs. After that you could try one of France or England to figure out European affairs while being more of a latecomer to the Colonial game or learning how to beat even Portugal to the punch. Then you could try Austria to get a handle on having lots of subjects and almost exclusively European affairs.
