How fares your empire, /gsg/?
This day in history, 23rd of November: 1174 – Saladin enters Damascus, and adds it to his domain. 1510 – First campaign of the Ottoman Empire against the Kingdom of Imereti (modern western Georgia). Ottoman armies sack the capital Kutaisi and burn Gelati Monastery. 1889 – The first jukebox goes into operation at the Palais Royale Saloon in San Francisco. 1940 – World War II: Romania becomes a signatory of the Tripartite Pact, officially joining the Axis powers. 1943 – World War II: The Deutsche Opernhaus on Bismarckstraße in the Berlin neighborhood of Charlottenburg is destroyed. It will eventually be rebuilt in 1961 and be called the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
So my last attempt got fucked up by an untimely peasant revolt on my capital, so I will be starting again. What religion should I use for my Dyre the Stranger > Republic of Socotra game? From the little bit I got to try it out it has a ton of potential with all the trade routes, the Aden Duchy alone has like 4.
Anyway, my question posed to /gsg/, is what religion should I pick up on the way? I could do Shi'a Hashashin memes, Nestorian/Messalian, Zoroastrian, Jewish. I could try and pick up a Chinese religion. Also, should I culture shift, and if so to what?

convert to the local religion (nestorian?) and fend off the dozens of holy wars youll have to face. maybe settle sri lanka
Kayden Barnes
So how often does AI pull this shit?
I checked it and it was actually german tank divisions pushing that snake towards India.
Oliver Ross
this is what happens when the ai watches reddit youtubers
Austin Mitchell
The capital is Socotra. Socotra is an island. I couldn't raise mercenaries and my levies were freshly depleted. The game ended. Unfortunately Lanka isn't really worth settling. It also isn't as impossible to survive now that there are more de jure kingdoms in Arabia, so I won't get raped by a Jihad for "Arabia" At least not in my core rich provinces

How realistic is it for colonial garrisons to be armed with longbows at the very start of the colonization of the new world?
Kevin Ward
Just turn native co existence on and don't use garrisons
Alexander Peterson
Seeing as they were used in James' I reign I see no problem
Parker Watson
How would you represent irreligious nations/populations in an EU4 mod that stretches into the early 1900s?
I'm thinking Pluralism/Secularism/Atheism all under the 'irreligious' banner. Pluralists use the buddhist harmony mechanic, Secularists can choose a secondary religion like Tengri (to represent the dominant religion in the country), Atheists idk maybe just some harsh penalties and then good stability bonuses once they have high religious unity.
The only spread-able 'religion' of the three would be Secularism to represent a general non-concern of the population with religion.

Just a friendly reminder that only Alex Grandi is autistic enough to finish a gsg mod, ignore all other modposters.

Communism is basically a religion, so there you go.

He's also autistic enough to ruin the general because he gets off to trying to control the community.

Co-op against the AI is for losers. If you aren't trying to kill each other, it's a pointless cakewalk.

Is there a way to make factories always profitable? I'm trying to find a way to make the AI more competitive industrially. In the end game the AI seems to not be able to build units because they don't have access to firearms or some other required good. I'm trying to find a way to prevent this.
Jaxson Clark
Maybe change the amounts that are produced, or the amounts that required by units. Maybe adjust the base price too.
Dominic Torres
In what direction tho? If I make everything cheaper the factories might just shut down quicker, if I make everything more expensive units wont get their equipment.
Josiah Nguyen
Can't you just add some goods to the AI's stockpile?
Juan Watson
By tag switching you mean?
Cooper Sanders
By modding an event that checks what resources the AI is lacking and adding some of those.
Hunter Lewis
Warsaw Pact girls were cute!
Reminder that the easiest way to tell apart was because girls joked among themselves Slav women didn't shave, and Ossis/etc did.
Blake Robinson
How about making them require less input goods to produce? If there's demand for the guns they're making, that should improve their bottom line.
Eli Morales
I don't understand why Vanilla EU4 has those single-province saage tribes as playable nations on South America, but MEIOU&Taxes doesn't. I like playing as them on Vanilla and just defending Brazil against the europeans, specially since i'm br myself.
How come MEIOU disabled those dudes? I don't enjoy playing as the incans & astecs & mayans as much.
Colton Russell
>It just stops working then, maybe when trenches happen we could
I feel like this could be very roughly abstracted with new defensive buildings that are cheap/razeable and prolong combat with hefty defensive bonuses. I have no idea how the AI would handle it, though. Probably not well at all.
Jason Butler

Ryder Diaz
Isn't there a separate native countries pack for MEIOU that they cut out from the base mod in the interests of performance? I recall an African pack too.
Connor Reyes

Oh, is there? I'll look it up. I just installed the main mod, since i'm new and i didn't knew that MEIOU was all cut into little pieces of content that you have to download separately.
Is it worth downloading all the addons though? My computer isn't really that good.
Hudson Rodriguez

Is building up gold provinces a meme? It seemed to be really worthwhile in the older version, idk about now. Is there a powerank of all resources?
Thomas Cruz
Depends on what country you're playing and what ideas you have.
Brayden Hernandez
>Report and ignore it. >Reminder to report and ignore shitposting. He's back!
Leo Williams
>gold I rarely end up with them, can't say much, but why not try to bird them up and see what happens? >powerrank I guess, grain and fish are less valuable then cloth and wine for example.
I also forgot to mention trade earlier, but that should be a given.
Robert Roberts
download the whole mod pack, its all there just under download
Henry Hall
build all gold provinces to 10 then leave them, otherwise inflation kills you
Andrew Nelson
Where? I can't see it
Luis King

>pope excomminicates me >pay 700g for him to lift it >6 months later same pope excommunicates me again Guess it's time to burn Rome down to the ground.
Gold provinces are super valueable to develop with dip.
Getting them up to like 9 base production is pretty safe. I've had like dussins at 9 and they haven't collapsed throughout the entire game.

You should do just like Benjamin Magnus did on his Cusco playthrough; conquer all of the south american tribes and form Inca, and create El Dorado from all the gold you're harvesting
IT's a pretty fun video series to watch, although it is quite old now.
Carson Cook
>You should do just like Benjamin Magnus did on his Cusco playthrough benji pls, noone wants to watch ur shit
Lucas Turner
speaking of, besides dev multiplayer are there any good paradox streamers?
Joshua Robinson
Make a custom nation. Ibadi. Merchant Republic, capitol in europe. Pick the 0.5 republican tradition school at game start and get 1 republican tradition in your national ideas.

There's literally nothing wrong with benji's videos Except the occasional fuckup due to his badness
