EU4 but i build a fort in every province...

How do you make the map look like this? Like with the borders and lines

Now I'm actually thinking about a full -fort maintenance% build so I can have as many forts as possible. I thought a monastic order at first and sure you can get an extra -5% but Monastic Order locks you to a duchy. If you form Bukhara then form Mughals and keep Bukhara's ideas you can get -25% from Bukhara's ideas, -10% from loyal Rajputs, -10% of Sidhi government reform, -10% from Defensive, -30% from policies for -85% fort maintenance total + you get all the other benefits from being Mughals. If you conquer all the way to the Great Wall of China, you can fully upgrade it for a global +2 Attrition to Enemies; also 2 monuments in Europe with global garrison modifiers...
I wonder if any Missions give any permanent fort defense/fort maintenance/attrition/garrison buffs.

After 5 years the game automatically white peace countries at war.

that is so hilarious

Where can I find this mod?

That savoy war timed out game will peace you out if you're in a war but never fight battles or occupy stuff

Defencive ideas + ramparts + max forts + defensive edict = unstoppable defence

forgot to build ramparts on the forts for an additional 1 attrition

Hello, which DLC is reuqired to see the casualties from battle/attrition? TY

fucking France sue'ing you for peace when they're the attackers is the funniest shit I've ever seen.

Eyo he predicted 1.33!?!??!?!??!

The bodies can be used for fertilization projects.

This man figured out how to play the TF2 engineer in EU4

This is basically what I did in my Romania campaign a few updates back, and unless you fight a coalition of literally all of Europe, no one will spend the time to conquer your lands it’s great

when i played as custom nation Taliban in Afghanistan.. i took high attrition for enemies, fort cost reduction and all religious ideas.. and went first idea defensive... i built forts everywhere too... unfortunately.. whenever i warred anyone they always completely ignored my forts.. its like they were scared of them... they'd always just attack my vassals or skirt around edges or take flat lands and nothing else.. it was impossible to win wars cos no one attacked me, i made myself too strong.. so i ended up fighting most of my campaign offensively and it was all a waste of ideas..

Napoleonic wars but better

Okay, but imagine this bullshit on Persian desert provinces.

You step into switzerland without visa, you die.

HOLY SHIT FORTS IN EVERY PROVINCE?!?!? NO FUCKING WAY!!!

thats amazing man you are crazy .

Rhodoks roleplay

Apparently over 100k people enjoy watching millions freeze, starve, and die from desease.

Aah, just like 1.0.

Those troops lost to battle in the totals were probably the troops that died fighting your rebels, I would doubt the counting system is that sophisticated as to segregate those out.

I now wanna do a playthrough as Dai Viet, who has +1 attrition and +20% fort defence as national ideas, conquer all of south east asia and place level 8 forts in tropical mountain tiles. Tropical increases attrition by +2. Obviously take all ideas and policies that give extra attrition, fort defence and garrison size and then just ensure that you have a big navy and a high quality army to kick the enemy stacks off your forts. To fund your massive forts, go economic+quantity and develop, also move your capital to the best protected part of south east asia and pillage enemy capitals as much as possible.
When I reach year 1750, I'll declare war on literally everyone and watch the world descend upon the ultimate graveyard of empires!

Alternative title: What if the Viet Cong operated in Switzerland

Imagine the napoleonic wars was just napoleon and every other country losing to switzerland

Fuck I want to uninstall this game

Afganistan

Switzerland: The steel trap of Europe

This is a war crime on a scale never before imaginable. Please, stop.

Awesome

Aha, I know one, rouquefort

I was screaming so you can check the war enemies box instead of looking for France manually in the ledger

Now u could get even more attrition if you own great wall of china

are you using the buildings for more attrition?

So this is how the AI plays.

You don't really need that many forts, though.

You have to combine that with stateless society (plus 75 % fort Defense)

I have become Switzerland, the destroyer of manpower

this with the new playing tall feature

Imagine if it's in arctique province with low développement.
Attrition go bbrrrrrer

stacking fort defense bonuses can easily become a new meta

downvoted because the whole point was to win war without fighting and you refuse treaty of peace from countries who surrender.

The AI in your game dies out from attrition
Meanwhile in my game they march 200k stacks through siberia and the himalayas in january with 0 attrition deaths
pdx pls

Hey @TheSocialStreamers was hoping you could renew the steamlink its kinda broken and doesnt show the actual mod for it which i would love to know. Great vid tho!

Europe literally lost its whole population in 50 years to sieges....lol
