I asked about a trade node and trade rout generator for the new world and if that could be used to generate a dynamic trade node and rout system.. but no answer.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

That would be a DLC I would definitely purchase.

I doubt that. As they leave the provinces etc. untouched, I bet they'll leave the graph with all nodes and edges as it is and just move the nodes a bit on the map. So Chesapeake will still forward its trade to England and France etc.

Dynamic trade routes is definitely something I'd love to see in a future DLC, but I doubt it is in this one.

Pretty neat.  The EU games always reminded me of Imperialism 2 a lot, and this seems a nod in that direction.  Love that game.


Also, pro-tip; when playing on hard AI level, always have defensive idea.  Playing as the French I wanted an offensive, quality-based army that would avoid sieges, but I'd always end up fighting a coalition of uber-Austria and United Spain-Portugal and having to pay 2,000+ ducats with a warscore of +50!  It's absurd.  I'd never encountered this before, because as Russia getting defensive is a no-brainer, and the Dutch have a natural Siege advantage.

That "strength of alliance" score count is a killer.  They might have 100k soldiers in Latin America, but my complete fucking blockade of Spain should rule out any intervention by that.

Actually, just avoid Hard AI all together.  It's never fun having to fight constant massive coalitions.

Pumped for this expansion.  I've always wanted to play as the Iroquois, but it was always boring as hell. <_<

I think the warscores are still bugged.I had a same issue playing as Russia when Ottoman-Spain-Burgundy alliance attacked me becouse of I was conquering nomads.I defetaed them in several batlles and reached the 50 warscore and in the end I had to pay for them to make peace because I run out of manpower.

That's what Hitler said in 1942.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'm not excited about this. After all, they'd already randomized the goods - I think just more dynamic trade nodes would have been good enough.

Also, what does that mean for that DLC they had about American events. Does the USA still form anyway?
