Galley combat width is reduced to 0.5, this basically means that galleys are now better than heavies in inland seas, and are viable in open seas

Also 900 sailors for one ship in the endgame…


They did also double the number of sailors per dev, so it's probably not as bad.

Naval leaders come from a separate pool to land leaders. Yes.

Yeah, I hate it. EUIV continues to flagrantly violate all sorts of history and they're doing it again. When in the history of THIS ENTIRE PLANET has a nation ever been able to field more than one admiral at a time? Fucking ridiculous, I'm so done with this game.

Just remove the leader cap entirely. It seems like a relic it inherited from when it was a board game, give leaders a small upkeep cost instead so if you want to pay for ten admirals, you can pay for ten admirals.

Best Way to Increase Piety?

Postby New Octicarg » Tue Oct 06, 2020 1:01 pm

Greetings, denizens!

I'm currently through my first Ironman run through in CK3 (first play ever on CK3, actually) and my Empire of Alba (started in Ireland) has managed to secure ALL the Insular holy sites. However, I'm struggling to get my piety high enough to be able to Mend the Schism.

Any tips?

I really liked what Imperator did and hope EU4 (or maybe EU5 soon) will move away from the board game style to a more immersive historical experience soon. Mission trees were one of the best additions to the game imo

No joke: HoI4 music, especially from Man the Guns, has helped me cope with anxiety and depressive symptoms. It slaps.

It's actually just hitting me harder and harder every time I replay it. I actually love it to death, I don't think I even need to go back and listen to the old faves, this song (here's a quick link to it) has without a doubt blown them all out of the water, it's so good.

Hey, I voted allowed and allowed. Consistency if nothing else. :p

Also the electoral penalty for a candidate being shunned or being a criminal is steep and I’d rather not have the incessant court adultery mess up my Scandinavian Elective.
