I've reached max money so don't have to tax anyone anymore, I just beat almost the whole HRE attacking me because I wanted to see if I could and being outnumbered 10:1 I still won because every location has an age IV fort and city walls, I've build every infostructure building everywhere and am at the building capacity in most locations, I would be number 1 great power but I only fully control 3 areas and they are capped at 20 points, IDK what else I can do besides wait to upgrade my buildings more when I unlock those

the Reislaufer has some really good bonuses but is one age behind, the unique light infantry also has some bonuses but idk if its worth it and the pikemen are the default age IV heavy infantry, I also have +10% heavy infantry power

Give the riders a spawn with the infantry or a flanking spawn to let them get into position faster, also adding tankettes like the l3/35 and type 94 with the same spawns and fixing the thing where vehicles vibrate and bounce when not moving on some surfaces needs to be done

On a few squads I make all the soldiers have different uniforms so when the enemy sees multiple soldiers with different uniforms they might think there is multiple squads, does anyone else do this and has anyone noticed if it actually makes any sort of impact?

My tall Coptic Egypt run, I played in only the nile down to the first cataract plus suez for access to the indian ocean which is 48 locations total. Most of the game I spend building granaries, grain houses and masons while slave raiding Arabia, Maghreb and west India. The screenshot shows -249k pops because I just gave ternate to a colony but I'm getting about 25k pop growth a month. I definitely could have achieved all megalopolises allot earlier but I wasn't constant on the slave raiding like I could have been and all megalopolises wasn't a goal until half way through the age of discovery, I also put allot into making a fleet of 100 transports to get to India but it turned out to be allot easier to just walk through Persia.

I noticed my average control was very low considering I have so much control and I realised almost half my locations are in progress colonies, it seems like an oversight that they contribute to average control since I'm not really controlling them and am going to turn them into colonial nations when they are finished, I think the colony integration status should make it not contribute to average control.

Considering buying one of these map prints for eu5 and am wondering what peoples thoughts on them are and if anyone has bought the eu5 ones and what they think of it. Looking at the images the borders seem to be very close to the eu5 ones with more detail, the only big territory differences I've noticed is Soroca owns Orhei where it does not in game and Bulgaria has some land Byzantium owns, I've also noticed most of the colours are the same but there are countries where they are not and the and Morocco has the occupation stripes in Tlemcen like it does in eu5 game start. Lastly does anyone know what the materials are like, it doesn't have pictures of the different materials. Link.

I'm not sure exactly what I hate about it but the sights are really ugly and the recoil is awkward and inconsistent making it hard to do aimed shots, the only positive is you can top it up with ammo so your not left with partial mags but that also makes the reload really slow, the type otsu has almost half the reload time and almost no recoil which is making me think its the better option.
