Maybe not exactly angry but starting a whole list of their dissapointments of why it shouldn't be EA in the first place. people do that, it's still undestandable.Havent seen anyone being angry yet because of someone saying its EA ^^ but im not seeing em behind their desk eitherMostly i see is people complaining about mod ideas not being in the game and some thinking EA was an finished product for some strange reason after all these years with EA titles
You don't have to be a merc or a vassal, you can just fight whoever you want whenever you want.frustrating right now trying to make an story
I’ll be honest, this is my #1 issue with starting a new play through. Would be great to get it as a hot fix or with 1.5.5, so I don’t have to avoid being a mercenary for another patch cycle ?Ok. It is related to this bug (I explained above). It will be fixed in 1.5.6 (in 3 weeks can be at beta) or maybe I can talk people to send it as hotfix (because seem important)
Can you also give a screenshot from militia change detail (by entering that town and mouse over militia number)

Now this looks awesome! Looking forward to your post!I am working on making map / kingdoms more balanced for 3-4 weeks. Did not changed bonuses yet because it is not my area, I reported they are causing problems but still they are same. Bonuses have very big effect on this snowballing problem however even bonuses are same with fixing different problems at different parts now factions are more resistant. Finally I got good results after fixing so many different things. I will update you this friday with all details. These changes will be at game at two next update.
By the way wars are not scripted. If two factions are neighbour they usually have war or tribute deal.
Here is a map from 22th year of game after these updates without player interaction :

For more information about all changes wait this friday.
I'm curious, you said the fixes you made aren't with War/Peace system but else where. Do you think your changes have had an impact on war/peace decisions or would you expect to see similar results as our last comparison in 1.5.1?There will be a new patch for beta soon. It will not include these changes but two next patch / update will include them.
This post was about scripted wars by the way (however it is not the case, there is no scripted wars in game). There will be no update about war / peace systems, they are not scripted. These developments will be only for weakened factions to resist more on map and to make more comebacks and slow down snowballing by doing better money / influence management and making better decisions.
Well, my City with 6700 prosperity has about 470 militia soo there's that, and it s a empire one so it doesn't have the battania militia add onNo need for that. Maybe there are too strong now. Battanians in my playthrough is in war with western empire and most of the time in war with someone else. But it seems, nobody reaches there ground ever.
Ok besides Seonon, but that was a accident, there tripped and i happened to be nearby.![]()

Weeell, hmm...Maybe it resembles prosperity influencing population and sht but i agree, it's just kinda weird how it impacts the militia directlyLike Mexxico said, battania have a bonus and active militia projekt. What bothers me is that every day it becomes very unlikely that the enemy will attack the city. that and that huge garrison in each city before i attacked them.
Maybe its just me again, but i dont think militia should be bound with prosperity alone.
I was ironic.....Dude be careful saying that in these forums as you'll get stormed by many guys
I do approve, obviously but other people make a big fuss about this.
Empire cities have bonus prosperity, so indirectly that affects militia. Either way it's easy to have high militia if you spect your settlements into it with good governorsWell, my City with 6700 prosperity has about 470 militia soo there's that, and it s a empire one so it doesn't have the battania militia add on

So after many campaigns during my 1.4k hours playing this game ive now came to the conclusion that the wars are for the most part scripted.
As i went back to playing as Sturgians right now ive noticed as always that both Battania and Vladians (now with an short war with Khuzaits after some patching) are going in to war with you as they massacre your western side straight from the start. It didnt take them many days to take over those cities.
Its np for me having this kind of action if the ai now should have choosen that way. The only thing that is not alright is that the game feels so scripted and almost same stuff happen all the time. No matter which country youre with usually the same wars breaks out along with some small diversities here and there. Please correct me if i might have seen this wrong but most of my play thrus which is a lot from all sides usually looks the same. I wanted to be sure before i went out with this statement since ive seen some small diversities here and there but still it usually looks the same depending on which faction you join since the pressure is on towards that one instead. -But i could also remember some things wrong to, so i put some reservation for gaps in my memory bank-

Battania as said are using alot of more horses now which makes them utilizing the "auto calculate cheat" that Khuzaits have![]()
Yeah all your issues seem to indicate that you think you have to be a merc and that you don't play the game independentlylol are you telling me how to play this game after 1.4+k
You don't know there word independent? You can just fight whoever you want forever.lol use your brains man. I havent even got to the part yet to be able to become an vassal
