[EU4] An In-Depth Guide to Absolutism 

The US figured this out obviously.

@kite man Yes, indeed he said that. He also made a hypothetical situation in which, if people call for punishment (execution) of someone, go ahead with it, if later it is proved that the person you ordered the execution of was actually innocent, execute the executioner instead of apologizing yourself, essentially, shift the blame.

@kite man Well considering how crazy those times were, I wouldn't rule out it being real. Anyway, the governing entities also makes sense, it's part of the "shifting the blame" doctrine, and by separating power, while you become less powerful in a technical sense, you actually become more powerful in a practical sense, since now it's easier to look like the good guy while not actually being the good guy. Those horrible things that happened that benefit you greatly? Oh well I didn't do those things, it was *those* guys, yeah we should probably get rid of them. His ideas did work back in the day. Now though? Well, the concept can still be applied, but the higher level of education and understanding of politics by the general population have made these kinds of political tactics less effective, or rather, their risk has increased, since now it's more likely for people to see past your persona and identify the "scam"

@kite man Mmmh I suppose that is true, still a higher level of education does play a factor, as while access to information is probably the main thing that changed from "then" to "now" education is what helps you analyze and understand that information, beyond what the speaker tells you. For example, a newspaper could write something that uses factual information and spins it around for their own political/financial gain, and a more educated person would be able to see past that. Still though, you are right, it's more about access to information than education. And I was aware of congress and the budget, it's sad people don't know such an important fact about one of the most important institutions in the country.

I thought the same thing

How is it that Ming didn't help Korea ???

AHappyCub As long as Korea and whatever nation you are playing are both tributaries of the Ming, then Ming can't come to Koreas aid.

Maladictem but when I want to declare war it said Ming would help, also any tips to deal with Ming in both land and naval combat

become ming's tributary

You should know by now that the best way is always the one that costs lives. Ahem.

that's why you google events you noob

What a swell guy Richard is

He stated himself that he's a grade A noob. Well now he knows that he wasted all his points and he learned his lesson, so now he's gonna start looking things up. HOPEFULLY. But judging from how stupid he is for not looking it up in the first place I would say it's 50/50 that he learned his lesson.

Well yes, but actually.... *yes*

NOT YET

The state will deside your fate.

If your a republic it should say "I am the senate" would be such a cool reference

LA RÉPUBLIQUE C'EST MOI

I had that thought like an hour ago

But Quantity is the better idea

I guess preparing those videos and checking some of its content in game takes some time, you know

He's prussian

A little update, I executed the guide and I still got to 110 absolution max ( I already startet with 65 base ), was there an update in between you making the video and now that changed things?

Probably not. What you could have experienced is that your cap on absolutism got lowered because of either of the following: 1) having a government type without bonuses to absolutism (e.g. Russian Principality, Republic, Constitutional Monarchy); 2) not having a Golden Era enacted at the moment (or having it finished); 3) not being of an Empire rank; 3) not having legitimacy in your country (in case your government form doesn't have it at all); 4) not being a Great Power (unlikely, but worth listing). I bet that the first two-three reasons will be able to fully explain your situation, since you need everything to be very carefully ligned up to get high absolutism max. Reman had his cap at 120 in the video, in part, due to still being in a Golden Era and having Despotic Monarchy as his government form.

Same

i have over 300 hours and today i was like "wtf is absolutism"

@@Seeter1000 Dude, I have 700+ hours and honestly had no idea what it was lol

Government reforms also affect max absolutism.

Update: I did it! Thanks! 3 years to spare and 16hours before the cradle of civilization patch kicked in a killing my save.

Absolutism hasn't changed , and radio res did a video about the new estates
