PDOX Games VIII: Communism Will Win

[Valrifell]

It's going okay so far.

Can I just mention something, though?

I LOVE that portrait.

I really wanna convert to Sunni, as I control the holy sites needed to form the Sunni Caliphate, but I also really REALLY wanna form Outremer.

What are the chances that I could convert to Sunni, not form the Caliphate, use the Muslim CBs to conquer the Near East, convert back to Catholicism, and then form Outremer in roughly 200 years?

You might permanently lose the option on the first conversion, but iunno.

"Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field a religious landscape like this is approximately 3,720 to 1."

I don't think that's the case, looking at the files.

Maybe, but I don't wanna spend decades waiting for claims to be fabricated.
The Byzantine Empire currently owns a significant portion of the land I need.

Sounds like you need that GLORIOUS MUSLIM INVASION CASUS BELLI! or just convert to shia/ibadi to INVADE THE ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD

Is everyone going to just ignore what a terrible, tortured set of borders Sicily has got there? It's like everywhere you look, they just have some random province sitting around, with no explanation as to how the hell that came about.

I can explain Jerusalem.
One of my more powerful vassals owned a bunch of land in Jerusalem, and when he died, it passed onto Sicily. Or maybe the King of Sicily died and my vassal inherited it.
Not sure.
Anyways, now I’m just slowly taking the counties back.

I think it's finally happened. I'm enjoying Stellaris.

Are you human?

Y'know it's funny, I'm slowly becoming the opposite - I feel like this patch has done a lot right, but the whole game feels rediculously slower. Not performance wise, just - everything seems to take a lot longer.. I don't know if it's just me or what.

[The Biggles Syndicate]

Iffy's Empire = Space Western World confirmed?

And I'm just here waiting to get genetic engineering to I can get xeno compatibility and start making sexy sexy hybrids.

Artanis can be heard screaming in the distance

Personally, I find I spend more time on planet development. In an effort to remain somewhat flexible and prevent overspending of resources I don't pre-build any buildings, creating jobs only when I hit unemployment. With the number of planets I have and the speed of pop growth I find myself in the planet screen maintaining pops and jobs as much as I spend out of it.

I suspect I could automate some of it with sectors, but I haven't got around to testing out the new sector mechanics yet. That's this week's goal.

Considering how poorly the AI seem to be handling the new system, I wouldn't bank on automatic sector management being worthwhile.

Yeah, I need to look into this sector automation stuff. I have something like 20 planets and I think there's four or five that are full.

Paradox if we can have one major patch where the AI is now broken in some way that would be great.

Say, if I cut my internet tomorrow and then open EU4 up, the update won't happen right?

[Bralia]

Good lord, that outfit doesn't look comfortable at all. The EUIV patch notes have been found on the coastlines of the Barbados.

[Platypus Bureaucracy]

Say, if I cut my internet tomorrow and then open EU4 up, the update won't happen right?

Well, yes, but you know you can go back to previous versions, right?

it's not the amount of buttons, it's where the buttons are located
