1.-Vanilha is the stock game you bought, agceep is, for example, a mod, hence it is not vanilha

2.-Its a mod that gives many new events to all the countrys of the game(or pretty much evry country)

5.- I dont think the name iraq actually existed in ths time frame, maybe it was called bagdahd? or qara kiunlu?

6.- Inflation is the increase in prices of everything you can spend, hence its best to keep it at zero:rofl:

7.Promote tax colectors, put maintanaice to zero when at peace, and ally to other countrys to have a better defense, also annez any other province so that you cant die in the first war.



Sry for not answering all the questions. Also heres a website good for you.

A few quick answers:
vanilla: http://www.paradoxian.org/eu2wiki/index.php/Vanilla

AGCEEP: http://www.paradoxian.org/eu2wiki/index.php/AGCEEP

Inflation: there is no best. You should inflate if the hit to your economy you take is more than offset by the investment you make with the cash. That said, on the low end I like to hug the range of 2-4% in the early game, when only the -2% exception year events are possible. Then when the 5% events can start to happen, I go to 5-10%.

Earning money as minors is hard. There are a few things you can try, at the wiki:
http://www.paradoxian.org/eu2wiki/index.php/Synchronized_looting
http://www.paradoxian.org/eu2wiki/index.php/AI_milking
but they are not necessarily easy to pull off. In particular, Granada and Byzantium are quite hard. There are pages for them at the wiki you can read. But I'd suggest trying something a little easier.

How to check what version of EU II I have eg. Vanilla or Mac

What are scenarios

 

[unmerged(40707)]

Version should be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen on the screen wheere you can choose single player or multi player.

You can see the list of avalaible scenarios in the upper left list after selecting single player (or multiplayer and corresponding options)
They represent different dates you can start the game with and corresponding setup for countries.

3. Can somebody show me newest patches to EU II like flags, units

4. If I dowland version 1.9 of EU II this version will be working with Polish version of EU II

The latest patch is 1.09. It will work on any other eu2 version. It is highly recommended that you use 1.09 and not a lower version, as 1.09 has all the latest bug-fixes and balances.

1.09 can be downloaded from here.

5. Im my version 1.7 there isn`t such countries like Iraq how do I get this countries

There are a number of mods that perhaps features the countries you'd like. A mod is a user-made scenario or map which provides a different environment for playing. You find the mods in the mod section of this forum, here.

7. How do I earn money when I play small countries eg. Grenada or Bizancium for example when I play Grenada, Spain fast daclare me war I take loans to make army to defend and after I defend I have no money and I don`t know what to do HELp How to earn money and play small countries

Granada is possibly the hardest country to play in Europe in vanilla eu2. If you are not familiar with the game engine it is recommended that you try an easier country first, to learn the methods of how to beat the AI. The Ottoman Empire, France, England, Spain perhaps? Or slightly more challenging Sweden, Muscowy, Austria, Brandenburg? Or medium-difficulty nations like Venice, Portugal, Teutonic Order, Denmark?

I will be greatfull for answers.

And we are glad to help Just keep them questions coming

 

[Beleg32]

Thank you everyone for answering my questions.

I dowland version 1.9 EU II and now what to do

 

[MichaelM]

5. Im my version 1.7 there isn`t such countries like Iraq how do I get this countries

Iraq is indeed in version 1.07, but only as a revolter. So the only way to play them is to start as whoever owns the Iraq province (I think this is Qara Koyunlu), release Iraq as a vassal, save the game, and then load it as Iraq.

 

[Beleg32]

What it is AGCEEP 1.56 and WATKABOI

I dowland EU II version1.9 and now what to do

What for is unlimited patch

If I dowland Mod Launcher to EU II later what to do

 

[Monkii-sama]

Don't bother with mods now. Play the patched version of EU2 and get to know the game. Start as Sweden in the Age of Merchantilism scenario. They start with a big army, good leaders and lots of cores.

 

[Beleg32]

Thanks, I dowland EU II version 1.9 and now what to do put them in to file of EU II but what file exactly

 

[Olav2]

Just run the .exe. You may need to specify which folder EU2 is in (don't remember).

 

[Mats_SX]

Thanks, I dowland EU II version 1.9 and now what to do put them in to file of EU II but what file exactly

As Olav says, it's an .exe, which means a program. Double-clicking on it will run it, and you will be asked to give the program some instructions, like where your eu2 installation folder is located. Then it will install 1.09 and once that is finished, you can start the game.

Before you start trying different mods, try playing some vanilla first.

 

[Beleg32]

Thanks, and some quetions

1. Does Muscovy have event that annex their neighbour I don`t remember name but they are very big at the start and they have lots of rebbels

2. If I start war eg. 16 january I with my army must be in enemy provine to looting at finish this month or next month in 16.

3. Is there information when I first loot when you can another time loot province

4. At the second looting of your army stay in province ahter first looting you must moving your army or you can stay and wait for second looting

5. At the start of the game eg. you paly Austria or poland they havelots of units, and big army take lots of money I play them and army take 3Od, and I was in war, What to do to make army cheaper

 

[Olav2]

1. Don't think so. It's better to let your neighbours annex each other, than to do it yourself. Then you save a lot of BB (BadBoy, your reputation). And I guess you're refering to Novgorod - the nation with rebels. They are an easy target in the beginning of the game, usually it's worth to attack them.

2. At the end of the month. You will see the city icon is "burning" at the start of the next month.

3. No information, I'm afraid. The province is looted for 12 months, so you have to wait until 13 months have passed until you can loot it again.

4. You can let it stay. The province will be looted even if the army is moving (also at retreats).

5. Try to keep the size of your armies below the supply limit. Set the maintenance at 50% when you're at peace.

Keep the questions coming. Welcome to the forum btw.

 

[Beleg32]

Thanks Olav

1. Is there any table how much many you get if province is loot

2. Is diplomatic anextion is like you make country vasalize and after ten years you can get anextion

3. In my lastest question is not Novogrod is country that have one province with gold have some provinces in Asia and have Centre of Trade in Astrachan and is very very big

 

[Olav2]

1. You will get 2x the Base Tax Value (BTV) when looting. It goes directly to the budget. You will see that the budget is updated when you loot (-> bigger income).

2. Correct. There's some requirements though. Compatible state religions (no Christian - Muslim for example) between the target and you, alliance, relation + 190, ten years etc.

3. Golden Horde. When you become Russia, you will get cores on most (all?) of their provinces. Then it's a good time to attack them. You might want to take that gold province before though, if you have access to it. But watch your BB.

 

[Beleg32]

This is my summarise of Looting Is it correcet ?

You start war eg. 1 January and enemy have two provinces you are at the end of the month in one province of enemy and you loot, this provinces have
8d and I double this and I have plus 16 in my budget, I siege this and complete siege, and I go to the another province and I can`t loot beaue the first month is finished, I siege it and complete siege, I stay with my tiny army in enemy 2 provinces there 12 month at the start of 13 month I loot again but this time I have enemy every provinces they are 2 provinces and I have Synchronized Looting and at the end of the month I get all year enemy money.

It`s corect ?

 

[Olav2]

and I go to the another province and I can`t loot beaue the first month is finished

If the second provinces isn't looted from before (burning city-icon), then it will be looted on the first day of the next month. So if you got there on the 15th of March, the province will be looted on the 1st of April. Thus the income for April will be bigger.

I stay with my tiny army in enemy 2 provinces there 12 month at the start of 13 month I loot again but this time I have enemy every provinces they are 2 provinces and I have Synchronized Looting

Yes. If you loot more than one enemy province at the same time (the first day of a month), it will be called synchronized looting. The advantage with SL is when you mint the loot (you pull your treasury-slider in your budget window all the way to the right). Instead of directing the loot to teching, the loot will go directly to the treasury. But minting creates inflation. SL gives you more money in the treasury for less inflation.
