Non-Economic Buildings should have maintenance cost

I think it makes sense for Army, Naval, and Coastal buildings as well as Ramparts, Impressment Offices, and Soldier Housholds to have a maintenance cost just like how Forts have one. The cost would need to be much smaller than forts. I think it makes sense as I think these buildings are intended to be created by the government to support the military or for defense purposes.

From catholic to pagean

Hi, I am following along this video from playmaker on youtube. Inspiring and fun crazy game :) but there is one thing he does in this video I am not able to do or understand.

He changes culture to aztec and religion to Nahuatl, this to achieve the Adopt Aztec Traditions, and get some nice action on the mission tree.

Now I am not ble to replicate this, due to the religion beein pagan, even forced rebels without any sucess for them to convert (broke the country, stayed chatolic). I am able to become aztec, but have to core. He is not cored up in the video…

Any advice or explaination on what i should do :)?

Thanks a ton!

Aftermath of the great peasants war

I wish paradox added something more to the aftermath of a peasants win in this incident.

For example: If peasants win all peasants republics join together after the age of absolutism hast been active for x amount of years or something similar. It just feels pointless to win it and to actually replace the government for a peasants republics and not Just annexing everything, beides for roleplaying reasons.

But what ist your opinion, or so you have better ideas?

PS. Why ist the text for peasant republics that Turn revolutionary the same as for an absolute monarchy.

How to Papal States?

I'm looking for a strategy to play as the Papal States, for roleplay and for a unique gameplay. I am not finding good suggestions on what todo. Specifically, what to do as a first move and early game? Should I take Constantinople? Should I aim to conquer all of Italy or should I aim for somewhere else? How do I exploit papal mechanics?

Anything you can tell me is welcome!

Your thoughts on the Reduced Exponential Colonization mod?

I was thinking in installing it for my next game. Is it any good? Is there any other mod that improves colonization?

you might be surprised but how to be great as France?

hello!

I have over 1k hours in EU4 and you might be tempted to ridicule my I really would love to hear constructive advice:

Recently I tried to play France for the first time, with "extended" mods but I struggle to be as powerful as AI-France.

Overall I am doing good; no problem beating England, annexing, some conquering but around year 1500 I feel eak compared to what AI-France looks in games where I play other nations. AI has easily 150k+ army with reserves while I have half of that.

I am playing very hard so please help me; is that my problem or its just difficoulty level modifiers? Usually France is a powerhouse with highest manpower and always up to date tech. I just cant get near that dominating position when I play them.

I think my biggest problem is I cant develop provinces howver I cant get advantage with policies early game. I hire advisors but I still cant get enough mana to keep up with the speed AND develop provinces.

Is this typical experience on very hard or there is something I might be doing very wrong?
