You can: - increase attrition to ultrahigh, killing off any spawning troops within a month - increase Recruitment Time to many years, such that it takes the AI years to even get that 1k stack - increase Rebel Suppression Efficiency and decrease Harsh Treatment Cost such that the rebels that would pop up are dealt with without troops That 1535 bug is a bit weird, but I had more games fail/corrupt/not load later in the run.
Issue with recruitment time, is its not the AI recruiting stacks, they never did. Its rebels breaking to the country. If you are genoa, and genoese separatists enforce on say Ottos, you get the separatists as your troops. A mildly hard coded mechanic. Infinite attrition could be an option, issue is you are kinda hard coded to not take attrition on your own land, and the minimum supply limit is 1, so you can't attrition below 1k when not sieging the enemy. Since most rebels aren't conquest rebels, the actual rebels that are the problem are event spawn. And unless I remove every single event in the game that gives rebels (no) that won't stop them. Infinite rebel suppression also does nothing, as no troops exist to supress, and harsh treatment would be cool sure, but I can't force the AI to press the button. No clue about 1535 :(

There might be a way to mod the AI to always accept demands once a particular rebellion reaches 90%, since they are going to rebel anyway. That way no troops would spawn from usual rebellions but unrest would still be a thing. Regarding event spawned rebels that would be harder to mod, in vic2 it is possible to make rebels disappear by setting all pops in a province to 0 unrest, but for eu4 there might be a way to trigger conditional modifiers whenever a province is occupied (perhaps using custom events similar to the blockade one) to set mercenary cost to 0 for like 6 months, while declaring war would wipe this modifier and make the country bankrupt, thereby disbanding the mercenary stacks
I'd love to see this expanded further. Pure pacifism through any means possible. (Ideally stable enough for a human to play. I want to see it exploited in the way AI can't.) So combining a bunch of ideas in comments: No CBs -100 unrest Absurdly high attrition Massive -manpower debuffs ensuring no one has the manpower to raise armies reduce the value of provinces to support troops increase fort defense Harsh treatment cost -100% --- With all that rebel armies would still spawn, but they'd die off. If somehow a country got a stack it would also die off soon. It sounds like the only way expansion could happen is diplo-vassals and colonies. That's enough for people though.
About Portugal. If I'm not mistaken, AI is hardocded to always take the coexistence policy as a crutch. mainly because Paradox couldn't be bothered to programm countries to deal with constant colonial rebelions (actually, if you can somehow force AIs to take different colonization policies, that could potentially lead to fun results. My predictions is, it's going to kill the majority of colonization). This hardcoding is a bit ridiculous. For examply, if you get a nation policy to reducy the native rebelion chance by 50%, AI still won't take the 50% colonization policy, nope (despite the fact those multipliers stack and AI would have gotten -100% native rebellion chance anyway). And if you try to force them by hand, they will switch it back
This is slightly inaccurate! The real reason the ai is hardcoded to take native coexistence is because if they don't the player could exploit the way native uprisings work to damage their own allies' colonies by walking into a colony and then retreating from the battle (since native uprisings happen as a monthly chance or as a chance when their province is entered.) The ai actually used to get native uprisings and handled them well enough from what I remember, but now they don't. Also fun fact, if you force the ai to take a different policy than coexistence (or if you mod coexistence to do nothing) the ai actually cheats to not get uprisings anyway! Of course this doesn't matter usually since they're hardcoded to take coexistence, but it means no matter how you mod the game they will never ever get an uprising unfortunately.
my god he took my advice but reworked it in some strange unforeseen way, I tell a man he should make a mod to remove navies and he uses it as some sort of sadistic inspiration and takes away the armies, truly a monkey's paw sort of situation.
Maybe you could make AE penalties super high, or changed the weightings on the AI declaring war then you could have countries keep enough troops to prevent rebels but never decide to go to war.
True, but that would be having troops, and that goes against my desire to prevent troops being a thing. I could give every -100 unrest or something too, but that still doesn't stop event spawn rebels...
Id be interested to see a game where every nation only has its starting man power and troops and can't get anymore or maybe it only replenishes every 100 years
You could play this from one of the later start dates to bypass the crash. plus it would be interesting to see the more consolidated nations break apart to rebels.
Not sure that would work, I am worried it is due to some rebels breaking or something, so its not a year issue but more 'x amount of time passed since start' (if I would guess)
@@LemonCake101 Could be an event referencing troop type(tech) issue? This looks like the thing you explicitly removed, instead of modifying. Or estate trying to give some special units
If a nation has to mothball their forts because they're poor then you can siege a fort if you're quick and then you can win a war and take land. Maybe targeting manpower and insane attrition and fort defence would be better, you might not prevent war but one month in enemy territory will convert all troops to conscientious objectors and go home.

Honestly I think this may just be beyond your modding skills this time. As those who read the comments can see there are a lot of things you would have to change to keep zero armies at all times be a thing. The theoretically simplest way to do it would probably be to see if the AIs desires can be changed enough to hate having troops raised and then have a script constantly going that delete any rebels (if either of those are even possible). As that would leave the things that cause the rebels without leaving the rebels. If eu4 had siege events like CK3 this would be easier as you could just add an event that almost always fired that resulted in 100% attrition for the attackers.
Ironically enough an event on loop deleting troops would work, since I have already prevented the AI building new ones. The lag however would be insane. It could be made to scope to rebels too if needed

Why not also increasing attrition a lot ? So that rebels and 1k stacks get deleted the second they start sieging (also nerf sieging).
So the baseline minimum supply limit is 1k, and you don’t attrition when supplied in your own land
if Eu4 but no troops went boring and crashed, how about Eu4 but no forts? or Eu4 but it's all forts?
Lemon Cake for everyone!
Would it be possible to create an event that triggers if a country has troops, and it removes all of their troops?
Probably the way to go about it for sure, as new troops won’t be built this time.
This video is unironically very pro-military
I was trying to be a pacifist :(
Could you perhaps make it impossible for the AI to declare war, or threaten war?
potentially? But then they still have troops, I want a demilitarized state
Give everyone -1000 unrest
maybe a event that deletes troops?
and rebels?
could work potentially in fairness
so about attaining true peace in eu4. isn't there a custom nation idea which prevents you from declaring war? give that to everyone
Sure that works, but I wanted to achieve demilitarized not just the inability to war
00:09 bood of you yo asume France ever had a state
Could u disable the war button. Like pdx disabled the call to arms button
Is it possible to simply remove all cb's so they can have troops to take care of tebels but can't attack?
indeed, that would prevent war, but the real idea was to disarm everyone
@LemonCake101 Roger. Misunderstood.
Supply limit for the province+ attrition
Minimum supply limit is 1, so doesn't effect 1k stacks, tried that
You should pay these
Bongo
bongo
Or just remove the declare war button from the menu and the AI can no longer do war?
Sure, but I wanted to demilitarize the world, not just remove the ability to war
Then you can't truly have peace in that world. 😢
remove CB's
... no :(
@LemonCake101 but I wanna see how much the AI uses the best CB, no CB.
@ I think they are coded to basically never use it
@@LemonCake101 sadge. Would it theoretically be simple to make that possible or is that one of those things that can't be changed in a .txt file?
@@jorgejustin461 not sure about it to be honest
