    • @murri7329
      @murri7329 ปีที่แล้ว +71

      Nah. The main reason France is OP is because although the British market is much larger than the French, France can advance up the tree much faster than Britain and its' colonies effectively. The French Market may be smaller at start date, but it also means that it's more concentrated, and thus fully benefits when France techs up; whereas, a large amount of the British market is split among the colonies, and there is currently no mechanic where colonial states can benefit from their Overlords' research, meaning in the mid-to-late game the British Empire just can't keep up as the French soar through the tech tree.

    i feel like France is just the strongest nation in the game by far : big population mixed with great technologies/industries, very good army and navy and low radicalisation if you compare it to prussia.
    So i suppose making france a bit less industrialize at the start and adding a lot more radicalisation (for more classic french revolutions) will slow economic boom a lot and make it a more balance nation.

      I don't think nerfing France is the solution.
      The problem is that other countries can't industrialise quickly and make bad decisions such as not developing their national resources. If AI decision making is improved, France wouldn't be alone at the top. Because the main problem is that economic development is laughable for every country that is not Frabce

    From what I understand the amount of soldiers you are able to field has to do with the supply/market access to that area from your market. So if you are lacking a solid supply line to support whatever types of troops you have you will have less in battles than you would with a better supply network

    So how combat works in this game is you basically only want a general pulling troops from one barracks because that’s where he gets all his reserves from (which is dumb). So per HQ you want one state with a maxed out barracks and no other barracks in that hq area then have a lvl 1 or 2 general (depending on width in Europe you want a level to generally). That general with 20 or 40 divisions now is always fighting battles with full morale and divisions that are not reduced at all. You basically wear down the other side way faster then their 100s of troops at the borders can deal with and will melt through them assuming same tech level. Wars are so easy once I figured that out. I don’t ever fully mobilize because having reserves is so important I may have something like 500-600 troops but only be able to mobilize 100-200 at a time.
    Oh all this is assuming professional army as well.

    Best way to win combat besides tech, and generals is to only use part of the hq units. If you put 100/100 on a front they have no way to get fresh troops. If you put 50/100 them other 50 will replace your casualties fast.

    Being in debt is actually really good in this game beacuse you are borrowing from the cash reserves of the buildings, as well as wealthy pops. Its better that you're investing it in anything rather than it sitting around in the cash reserves. And as the cash reserves expand, your debt will become a smaller and smaller percentage of it so you can maintain massive levels of debt spending by cycling between buildings that use the investment fund and ones that dont.
