This game is a spreadsheet hell worse than EU4

[SKEL]

They made the game overcomplex and the combat system doesnt make any sense... I dont ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ want to read guides and watch youtube videos before starting to play a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.

My 30K Spanish army (3K Regulars, the rest levies) against 10K Morrocan army and I still lost...

[Ba Sing Se]

check regullar of ur opponent a;ways, needn`t guides, u can see them they r golden
levies - i don`t use at all, only merc and prof army
proportion u can just see one tme in the internet and remember
Also need check ur food for army, it`s important cause no food - army will die in 2 monthes or will loose 10 k to 1k army

[shame]

morrocco has light cavalry leavies and cav get 20% damage reduction.

its OP af and needs a nerf.

if i were to play castille rn, id just do cavalry and knight orders plus castles. every horde breaks on castles, but morocco is hard af

If you have AtP DLC, it is more useful take the Moroccon lands in Iberia and then just kill off their navy. There is little point pushing into Africa too early as Morocco has way too good levies.

[Vjach]

Levies should be used as black reserve, not always, lol

[Azunai]

Some countries have a large proportion of light cavalry in their levies instead of the generic light infantry you normally get.

They are a nightmare to fight early game.

Less of an issue later on when you have professional troops for combat that are on par or better than the cav levies.

Lmao. Running 27,000 peasants with sticks up against 10k Moors, most of which are Tribal calvary and you expect to win? It isn't required to watch YouTube or read guides before starting a game. You have to have a brain in the first place to be able to use the information that game gives you in the first place to do that though. Do yourself a favor and uninstall. Go back to HOI4 or EU4. Just because a game is too much for your intelligence level, doesn't mean it's bad. The game has a lot of flaws. From what you've typed, you trump all of them.

The irony of this post being made by someone who has made guides themselves is crazy.

doesn't change the fact that the amount of tribal levies with 20% dmg reduction Morocco has is op as ♥♥♥♥ and needs change. Morocco wins in every game that I have seen AI vs AI and that's retarded.

In every game I see Spain eventually conquers Iberia and expands into North Africa. At least that's the situation by the time I zoom out of my little area because I'm done with my local consolidation and am ready to start formulating a broader strategy in Europe.

Is it op? > In my opinion absolutely no.
Is it slightly op for 1337 -> Yes, and it should be. Castile was nothing special in 1337. It was an underdeveloped slum. If you want to unite the iberians completely in 1340, you could do it with using this thing for thinking. Its AI and there are dozens of opportunities to win against it.

And I don't see a iberian marocco in my playthrough. AI Spain gets stronger and wins the fight in the long run.

[Jens@Saxony]

Dear SKEL, I agree with you, that this game is not a casual game like "Candy Crush". It is a game with good automation but many info, if you like to do stuff manually. Maybe this game is not for your lifestyle.

Here a suggestion. You could print a world map and get some pens. Then you could color the map beginning with your prefered starting location. This could be possible without reading, understanding and other annoying capabilities.

I was fighting them in Iberia itself, already wiped multiple stacks of 5k, 7k, 2.5k... but then they landed with those 10k troops and wiped my 30k troops (and yes i consolidate the army and reorganize them after each fight)

Yes it is.
1. Which buildings to prioritize
2, Which RGOs to prioritize
3. Which Traditions to focus on early game, mid game and late game.
4. How to setup the trade
5. Which Army units to build (It seems most of them are useless)

Most of those questions exists because the game is horrible at explaining them with that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ interface they got. (At least its improving since release version)

Already did, ♥♥♥♥ it. EU4 is too easy now, I got bored after 1300hrs.

Yeah I make guides to help others have a fast start on games, and myself when I need to remember something. EU5 have too much detail and stuff to know and remember, if you make mistakes at the start it will affect you through multiple centuries. That's the difference between a mediocre nation and a world conquest game. There too much stuff overlapping and interconnected that affect the game and its almost impossible to align everything correctly.

[StrayCat]

Automate the economic side of the game except for the income and expenses. Even if you want to understand RGOs and buildings and markets, you won't care after 1500 because there'll be too much going on, trust me. Just automate it, and then focus on the other parts of the game....there's no need to watch grifters errrrr streamers....or read guides. Besides, the guides are outdated now, and the wicki sucks because they keep bouncing around on the mechanics every f u c k i n g update. Just dig in dude....and play it.

annnd you just made all that ♥♥♥♥ up.

every single game, Morocco owns Castille and then its down to a player to break the moroccan colossus.

'formulating broader europe strategy', well that is a very redditor thing to say tbh, made me cringe and chuckle, its like im reading a free edition chatgpt response.

Cool story bro. I especially like the parts where you think I care enough to lie on a game forum, and how you find proper English usage cringe.
