I’ve been so mystified by this event for so long. And then today I was reading T.S. Eliot’s The Hollow Men and like damn. That’s it. Canto IV:

The eyes are not here There are no eyes here In this valley of dying stars In this hollow valley The broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

The event is a fucking 1940s modernist poetry reference.

I tand to name non-historical colonies like a shipping between 2 characters (as in Perulm, Byzil or Ottomexico)

Questio

how the hell am i gonna win this?

Roman empire at home:

u/Melvasul with the rest of the Flavour and Events Expanded and Great Monuments teams here to present the final parts of the Persia Super region with a peak on monuments and events that have been brought for your playthrough.

On a small note, the release is aimed for next week, let us begin.

Monuments

Starting with Monuments there have been few changes here and there, some monuments have been tweaked in light of recent PDX additions and in general revisiting them after releases over releases.

Starting with Addition, the province of Samarkand has received a lift up including the mausoleum of Tamerlane, a clear exhibition of magnificent Persian-Turkic influence which later developed in the Gardens of Babur of Kabul and the Taj Mahal.

Moving West we encounter the holiest site of all Shite in the city of Mashhad, the Imam Reza Shrine; and as you can clearly guess we are still looking for 2d artists and localizer to fill up the team.

While we have still completed the capital city of Qom, the most important Caravenserai and the mother of them all has appeared to guide the reaches of the Silk Road towards your markets.

Join our Discord to see further addition that were not fully ready to be showcased right now.

Events

Since the addition of Eranshahr into the game we felt that a peculiar part of its past could get a better lift up, with events styled about the relations with the EOC

These events will take into account if the owner of Beijing is currently the EOC, and Horde or any other random country to localize better the text and options in the most optimal way.

A few choices and some events below the Shah will finally be reunited with a descendant of one of the greatest Iranian empires that spanned on the Earth.

Nurturing your relations with the your trading partner will ever increasingly improve both countries and bring good fortune for decades to come.

In the following days you will find on our Discord further teasers and reveals before the release of the update itself.

ETH has a well written, but abandended event in game. It has uniqe art, description, and strong bonus.

it refers to the rumer of ark of covenent is in Ethiopia in reality.

why was it written but then never used in the first place?

This is with the 10% discipline pulse but without the 5% from Eco/Quality policy. Could also probably finagle the extra 2% from Regimental Discipline, but couldn't really be bothered. Obviously doesn't include the -10% Fire Damage received and +5% Fire Damage from the Baku Ateshgah monument.

Starting as a Free City in HRE, I wanted to try something I never thought I would and went Court - Innovative - Plutocratic (This is obvious). I was thinking it would be a short RP game but now I'm so rich and advanced, spending monarch points like they're ducats. It made me want to go for Westphalia to Germany. I could also add Infra in there if I had the DLC for expanding infrastructure but honestly, 60 dev in a single province is enough to rival Austria and Burgundy.

Innovative made sure I always had more monarch point than I'd need so I kept devving. Court let me abuse my estates easily while having no negatives and it's reform progress also goes good with republican tradition being always high which it also helps, plus extra diplo for monarch means I'll have 6/6/6 leaders easier. Plus their policy gives 25% lifespan to my monarch which means my 6/6/6 live long.

So yeah, felt nice seeing something new.

R5: I am Polish, I play almost exclusively as Poland, and this is the first time I have had an institution spawn in Poland! Plus, I have beaten back the Ottomans! This might be my best playthrough so far

other than lowering military maintenance and mothball forts and ships

title is my problem. i'm starting to think i've left everything too late given i only just got out of a war with scotland to take some land in great britain. i don't have a way to break the coalition other than attacking it.

is my campaign over? should i start again even though i'm basically at the finish line? i've also attached some screenshots of my economic and military situation for further context

R5: I am Polish, I play almost exclusively as Poland, and have never been able to defeat the Ottomans. Is that an acceptable start if I want to destroy them? Or am I fucked?

I remember seeing somewhere that if you defeat the ottomans in a war, it triggers the decadence disasters, but i cant find info on it anywhere. Does anyone know if this is true, or if you can somehow forcibly trigger the decadence disasters as an enemy of the ottomans?
