Im currently playing as Denmark and I cant attack Holy roman empire nations without being hit with stability hit. This is because of the good relations modifier. Even my rival (im also his) cant be attacked without the hit to stability. We both have -150+ relations.

Playing as firenze, abolished the gonfaloniere, but the realm stopped receiving bank money and government never changed to duchy.

Is this intended?

The rural population and development levels in the North Caucasus region—including Circassia, Ossetia, and Chechnya—seem somewhat unusual. At the start of the game, this area appears to be significantly overpopulated, with rural development levels almost fully maxed out, which suggests there may be some kind of error.

For example, the Circassia-only province (prov=1302) has a rural population of nearly 600,000, which is comparable to population densities in North India or China. This figure appears to be more than twice as high as what would be historically accurate.

Cool mod, not easy i most say :-)
As byzantium, it is impossible to get an Inquisitor advisor, to helt convert people.

Imagine a Mod that is such a rewrite that every other Mod on the Workshop is incompatible /

I really, REALLY need to try this out. It looks like what EU5 is shaping up to be over at "Project Caesar."

The most crazy mod there is. Unfortunately you need to understand the vanilla game mechanics so that you can build up from there. Although I have 7k hours in the vanilla game, it took 2 tutorials and 2 whole playlist series to understand the game and I am almost sure that I don't know that much...

But once you understand it, it is beautiful. Just pure enjoy when it is not the 1st of January or February. The game does all the calculations at those dates and so it took 15-20 seconds to pass one day, each every year. You know what they say "take the bitter with the sweet"

anyone experiencing game crash/freeze when trying to start a new game? I tried verifying game cache and I have no other mods. Can't seem to have it fixed

Hey, I am noticing the when playing as Milan or Naples that there are really random countries that have states nearby. Like Countries in Asia. Is this normal? As Naples, some states also have no religion and some need to be colonised.

Yeah seems Gigau forgot to add the changelog, just added the Alpha 28 changelog to the 'Change Notes' section here
Freestyler Mar 17 @ 3:26pm 
i cant find the change log
das_ubersoldat Mar 17 @ 6:02am 
For those wondering what was updated, go to Paradox Forum and check out the Meiou and taxes alpha 28 section (I could post a link here but i am unsure if steam would let me) :/

What are the files that govern the cost of fabricating claims? i`m experimenting by tweaking some values, but i have no idea where that one is.

Do claims not give CB's? I have claims on all of Ireland but can't declare war
markdeakin14 Mar 11 @ 10:21pm 
Hi, I need help. Playing as England. Won Aquitaine but the 100 years war hasn't ended. Its now 1397 and I can't declare on anyone else.

Seems it's the MRBM font mod messing it up

Why is my UI so messed up?
Just got this mod, playing on 1.37.5

I have all the DLC and stuff, here's my UI in vanilla in comparison:

Vanilla [i.imgur.com]

As you can see, the buttons are all over the place in MEIOU, and also some menus don't open properly, I also got stuck changing Military Power in the Taxes interface that popped up at the start

I played as England in 1.26 version but I assume the same principles apply to the never version

I found out it extremely annoying that "special troops" are present in nations. I was having a war with Russia and my troops had 1-Fire 2-Shock modifiers.... the Russians having some special Blue unit type had 3-Fire 2-Shock, even if I brought 3-4x more cannons to every fight it wouldn't matter on open plains because the russian infantry had such high Fire-values.

this was after beating them in previous war and making sure our allies had larger armies so I thought it would be just fun gameplay.

But no- they summoned their high-fire-value troops and just grinded everything. I wish this feature be removed or made optional for the player to choose if they wish to use special troops.

@Enrique

You are probably losing money because you are making changes too quickly it is the only way you can have all these things happening at once.

Low estate loyalty only comes from events and reforming so there I am going to assume you are reforming too quickly. Early on allot of your income is dependent on the nobility of your realm so their loyalty is very damaging to you if low in manpower and income taxes.

Your morale is low again because you are reforming too quickly which is exploding your corruption which is damaging your troop's performance.

You will never be capable of playing MEIOU if you don't read the various tool tips maybe try the 2.5 version it isn't as complicated.

I started as naples, ate sicily, reformed a bit, ate a bit the center of italy.
I found three main issues, the last one game breaking:

The mod tells me I am earning significantly over my expenses, but somehow I always slowly lose money (and I stopped investing long time ago)

Loyalty is always low despite having great relationships with all the factions and favouring them. I know you are supposed to wait, but it is too slow and not transparent at all (you do not know why they are not loyal)

My morale is too low, no matter what I do. If I win a battle I need four months for it to recover so I can move again. If I lose, it takes almost a year. On top of this, rebels are completely unbreakable, they never flee and hurt your morale too much. The first rebels I fought were half my size, in bad terrain for them and I had a much better general... and I still lost the battle, seven times in a row... After throwing superior armies at them for six years with no progress I unistalled the mod.

Is it possible that the Persian/Iranian nations have a missing missions tree?
Kamduis-Ur Jan 4 @ 7:24am 
started as muscovy, in 3 years conquered ryazan, smolensk and novgorod. Novgorodian nationalist rebels (21 stack) have 3 morale, my armies (16 stack) have 0.6 morale with full spending. How are you supposed to fight rebels in this mod?

Is there a page that explains the subject types? I didn't find this info on the Wiki.

Also it would be really helpful if Wikis listed the version number that the Page applies to. Sometimes the last edits are from years back and me myself play an older version so it's next to impossible to find out if the info still applies. Thanks to all your wonderful work in the mod!

I have another problem. I won the 100 years war with england, completed all the scripted treaties (which is a brilliant aspect of the mod imo) and unioned france. But the french victory event fired. I guess that is a bug or a something?
Afro_GF Dec 21, 2024 @ 9:20pm 
I have some issues and a question. I was doing a test run with England. I changed the "sale of office" reform of bureaucracy estate to "banned" (level 2) but when I check the requirements for "meritocracy" institution, it didn't register. It was changed in the estate tab but institution somehow didn't recognize it. Also, I achieved the necessary requirements for the exploration ideas, 1500 naval cap, 21 dip tech and completed naval ideas, but it didn't show up. I waited the year to go by to get the yearly tick for both cases but it didn't change. And lastly, where can I learn how the trade system works?
guihagui Dec 14, 2024 @ 7:14pm 
I dont know why,but when i open the estates tab, the interface is bugged,kind like the interface of the game hasnt adapted to the mod. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Chirpy Dec 10, 2024 @ 6:38pm 
Is there a way to get the normal Eu4 ui back?
kenny2004 Nov 29, 2024 @ 5:32pm 
Why are the north american nations removed ?
das_ubersoldat Nov 26, 2024 @ 6:26am 
I was playing as Akan (Ashanti) and helped my ally against Songhai, and during a siege i noticed that it said "You need 1102 (Mil icon) to start a barrage, you only have 50" Is this a bug? because i cant imagine that the player would need that amount, especially since it didnt say that pre-update.

"I can't move between windows by pressing the letter "A", what happened?"

Probably you don't have mana of 1 or 2 types. The button to switch layers is a reporpused develop province buttons, which refuse to work if you don't have any of the associated mana points.
Mastercuk Nov 20, 2024 @ 8:29am 
I can't move between windows by pressing the letter "A", what happened? Did I make a mistake somewhere?
desu-chan Oct 30, 2024 @ 8:31am 
it worked the first time but now eu4 seems to crash on the launcher after installing
Celimaskaya Oct 22, 2024 @ 4:36pm 
At the level that you guys have gotten. You should start making your own game! Really, I love what you did with the game. It's amazing! Followed MEIOU and the Death & Taxes mods since the EUIII days and have to say what an amazing job and evolution over the years.
But I feel that being a mod is starting to limit your envisioned systems too much.
Hope that you people keep up the great work
wedesoft Oct 21, 2024 @ 7:55pm 
Thanks. The hotfixed version does not crash any more :)
Alar Oct 21, 2024 @ 5:24pm 
How viable would it be to play this mod with no dlc, will it be broken/bugged/very disbalanced? Or only with the two mentioned dlcs in faq as an option. Thanks.
[M&T]Mepper  [author] Oct 19, 2024 @ 5:21pm 
Incompatibility with 1.37.5 is known.

We are working on a fix, seems I found the issue. Hopefully we can hotfix the mod real soon.

For now reverting to 1.37.4 makes the mod playable again.
Chief Squiddy Oct 19, 2024 @ 7:50am 
Reverting back to 1.37.4 fixed crash to desktop for me

As someone who's been playing the old version, it's ironic that the day I think about upgrading, apparently there's some kind of crisis
