State edicts are available to anyone, as well as the MIL advisor. Offensive ideas, spy networks, the aforementioned merchant policy. Always have your best siege generals on enemy forts Siege pips are the rarest in the game, for good reason. If you have a big force limit, get a full stack of cannons for the maximum fort bonus on at least 1 army (15 cannons for lvl3 forts, or 18 with the merchant trade policy that grants +1 to max arty impact on forts). This is a common mistake for newer players, but it's easy to work around: But still, reading the interface (and maybe googling stuff like 'siege eu4' before posting) is something you really should do first. edit: Just saw you actually wrote that you are new ><. Wiki is basically all you need to know minus outdated stuff. Either way, the general rule for questions should be: Check wiki first, and if it isn't there or confusing/outdated, ask here. Tbh sounds to me more like you are a beginner and just need time to learn about the available functions in the game. And Siege ability is also pretty easy to find if you just read through the available ideas, so I guess you didn't do that either. If you didn't see that, I think that is 100% on you. In all my time playing the game I did not see a single modifier related to sieging, how do you get a siege general?ĭid you ever look at the basic modifiers that are shown in siege view? There is 1 basic modifier for siege specifically that is shown whenever you siege: Siege pip of your general. CONQUERING HUNGARY TOOK LESS TIME THAN SIEGING AN OPM. I also remember one time, playing as Serbia, I literally couldn't siege 1 province from some OPM in the time it took my ally Poland to conquer all Hungary so then they signed peace and I couldn't take that coastal OPM in the peace deal. Siege fast and lose all my manpower before I can end the war Siege slowly and give my enemy time to take back the land I conqured, still lose a ton of manpower to attrition Meanwhile, my manpower advantage is useless because sieging takes so long all my manpower dissapears to attrition, even if I try to avoid attrition they still die to siege attrition and, as I said, if I split I lose so splitting is risky, also sieges are shorter when I put more troops on them but that amplifies attrition so my options are: And no I can't keep some of my troops in those lands in the back because because I don't have enough to beat their army with half of my army, If I split I lose. Sieges are soooooooooooo slow (for me, no for the AI tho) and this thing comes and bites me again and again.įor example, right now I'm playing as Japan, I finally decided to attack Korea, I have enough to troops to win, I have 10x the manpower they have, and yet I can't win because in the excruciating amount of time it takes to siege 1 fort they can literally circle their country through some foreign lands to get to the provinces I previously conquered and take them all back before my siege is even over. I'm new to Eu4 and while I managed to get the hang of most things but the one thing that I can't get over is the stupid siege mechanics.
