So how am I supposed to enable mods then without a launcher?

Found it, top-right of the main menu

I predict I will only occasionally reach the start date of EU1 when playing this game

Well, if anyone is doing well in this game, please tell me.

I kicked some Teutonic ass as Lithuania before realizing that might have been counterproductive. I don't really understand how anything works except for fighting wars. Just remembering where pieces of information exist is a problem.

I hope it makes more sense with time.

Is there a start date other than 1337?

As I said earlier, I hope they add a 1492 era start sometime

[Valmy]

I am thinking of automating everything except for one thing and just focus on that for awhile.

I did very well reading through all the tabs last night.  Oh, you meant playing the game - nope made the mistake of building too many roads at the start and decided to abandon all hope and try again another time.

If your soldiers were levies from peasantry then that might hamper your development. I recall a streamer mentioning during a preview that they stopped a war because they needed their levies back home for the harvest as their food stockpiles had run low.

And I've seen folks scratch their heads how to supply their army from Spain sieging castles in Morocco with their navy.

I prefer good land based combat for the time being

I even figured out how to spawn soldier pops and make regulars I figured Lithuania needed a core of professional mounted warriors.

Do roads have building maintenance cost?

I have restarted as Hungary, trying to improve things this time rather than sitting and scratching my head. Things are going noticeably worse than when I didn't touch anything.

Why? Roads expensive to maintain?

Tried the one AI mod available as they are trying to up AI aggressiveness and if I understood correctly trying to make the AI focus on getting stronger allies rather than a lot of them.

Well, Anatolia and the Balkans are much more lively in the mid 1340s but there are ridiculous war declarations. Count of Cili (sp?) DoW me, Hungary, who is allied to Poland and having Croatia and Bosnia as vassals. Something like 300 levies against almost 20k. And now Venice is trying only something slightly less mad against Croatia. Yeah, maybe I'll turn off the mod for now

Sorry, not going to mess with gameplay mods in the next few weeks while they keep patching this.
