I still sort of miss the old way from EU3, where every province had a specific population number that could grow and increase tax income and manpower, or sometimes decline.Īny DLC that completely by-passes a Core Game feature is a terrible DLC.īecause then no one actually learns to play using said mechanics and just skip it completely. Now I got used to it and just accept it as part of EU4, but initially it felt like it added an unwelcome distraction to the game. I had mixed views about Common Sense, I have not really tried playing without it after it was released. Originally posted by kaiyl_kariashi:That mostly comes from ignorance of how the game works.īecause the ai plays more conservetively than a player does, they weighed development higher than a player for short-term gain (where as the strength of the player is better long term planning and overall efficiency).but as all ai did this, the long-term gain kept getting better and better as conquest became less efficient and soon the only reason they stopped was physically not being able to click the button anymore (back then the development cost wasn't capped to 999 and having a tech penalty allowed you to develop even higher.which resulted the ridiculousness of the Native Americans being the most developed regions on Earth when Europeans finally showed up with provinces sometimes even reaching the 80+ development range by end-game).
Their fix? Capping the ai to an extremely low amount of development so that the worlds development could only roughly double over the coarse of the game (most of happens in the first 100 years), instead of exploding to 8-10x as much like it did un-capped.īecause the ai plays more conservetively than a player does, they weighed development higher than a player for short-term gain (where as the strength of the player is better long term planning and overall efficiency).but as all ai did this, the long-term gain kept getting better and better as conquest became less efficient and soon the only reason they stopped was physically not being able to click the button anymore (back then the development cost wasn't capped to 999 and having a tech penalty allowed you to develop even higher.which resulted the ridiculousness of the Native Americans being the most developed regions on Earth when Europeans finally showed up with provinces sometimes even reaching the 80+ development range by end-game). "This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unplayable, every province is 40+ development and costs most of my admin to core, takes 20+ years to core, and and even a single province is causing coalition levels of AE. Most of them give tax or manpower (the quantity idea group event can even give +2 manpower development, if you spend some ducats and a little MP, or +1 if you don't spend anything). There is a minor weakness though in that only 1 development event out of the 15 in the base game can give Production development and only in grain provinces. Now a few development events are a bit harder to get if you don't know how (like NOT having a certain resource in any of your provinces and getting an alliance (Or 100+ relation) with someone nearby who does, giving pretty much yearly development events on top of the others which can come every 2 and 5 years. Which to be fair, they'd just come from BASE-Tax which never changed, so the idea of your provinces improving gradually over time via your play-style was probably pretty alien, and even to this day, people grossly underestimate just how much development you can earn via events since it requires you actually play Tall. "The ai is gaining a few points of development here and there randomly and I don't have CS, they must be cheating" We only just recently seem to have squashed the last remenants of the "Ai can manually develop without Common Sense" faction, and it took YEARS even though it was obvious from Day 1 that they couldn't. That mostly comes from ignorance of how the game works.
