[trade_goods_province.GetTradeGoodsName] 'Disappearing'

Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30.

With corruption ever on the rise in [Root.GetName], an increasing amount of [trade_goods_province.GetTradeGoodsName] has been disappearing from our legitimate trade networks onto the black market. While some blame too restrictive regulations and tariffs, part of the problem is clearly that these crimes are simply too easy to get away with. When silence is easily bought, secrets are easy to keep, and those secrets are growing more and more costly for [Root.GetName].

Corrupt Generals

Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30.

Military experience and expertise should be the main, if not only, factors influencing who rises through the ranks of the [Root.GetAdjective] army. As our society grew more and more corrupt, practices drew further and further away from this ideal. The reality today is that a position as general carries a lot of prestige, and those with money or connections are more than willing to use them to secure such a position. With the existing leadership being easily influenced with these tools, they can.

From time to time, someone may rise through the ranks who have actually earned their title, but many of the finest minds in strategic matters will never have a chance to lend their skills to us.

Those who command our ships in battle or are sent to explore lands to be claimed by the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] should be chosen from the bravest and wisest in our navy. This is not the case today. From their very first day on a ship, sailors see money illicitly changing hands and protocol being broken as a matter of course, and quickly learn that both the letter and the spirit of the law carry little weight in [Root.GetName] when silver is put on the other pan of the scales.

Those who do not learn quickly make enemies. To advance through the ranks of the [Root.GetAdjective] navy, you need to learn to play this system, and those who rise to the top are rarely those we wished would be there.

Foreign Merchants Distrust Us

Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30.

Every trader tries to cut a deal that will be to their benefit, and many are willing to bend the truth a little to succeed. While this is expected, merchants from [Root.GetName] have a reputation abroad that goes beyond this into outright lies and fraud. The corruption which has become a part of how we do business can be shocking to outsiders, which has led to traders worldwide choosing to avoid us when possible.

It's too late to do anything about our present image, as the damage is already done, but perhaps we can stop this from reoccurring if we stamp out the casual corruption in our society.

Governmental Functions Breaking Down

Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30.

A corrupt administration operates less to sustain itself and more to sustain its members. Consequently, as it begins to fall apart, the immediate reaction of most officials is not to save what they all stand to lose, but to grab what they can while it lasts.

[Root.GetName] may not be on its way to a complete collapse, but the severe corruption reaching all the way from the lowest clerk to those closest to the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] has corroded several crucial governmental functions, leading to a widespread destabilization of the country. This has been a long time coming and we all pay the price.

Mercenaries Extorting Locals

Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30.

During wartime, soldiers of fortune often find ways to make it home with a bit more than they are paid by raiding the land where they are sent to fight. Normally, this is not a problem for us when they are sent abroad to terrorize our enemies, but sometimes this habit is hard to break, even during peacetime. Some farmers and travelers in [Root.GetName] have complained that mercenaries stationed here have been robbing and extorting them, despite - or perhaps because of - the fact that there isn't even a war ongoing.

Meddling in the ranks of mercenaries, even ones that we hired, is always a difficult matter. Their accusers are unlikely to take the matter further if we let it slide, but the question remains how our society will change if we allow it to continue.

It's part of the price our country pays for their service.

Incompetent Administrator

Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30.

Matters of governmental organization have never been [Root.Monarch.GetName]'s strong suit. What a good leader does to compensate for such a known weakness is to delegate and this is exactly what our [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] has done, but the people who have handled administration in [Root.Monarch.GetHerHis] stead have proven to be more competent than honest. The government runs well enough, but tends to slowly shift its priorities towards matters which the benefactors of these irreplaceable officials find to be of importance.

With [Root.Monarch.GetName] [Root.Monarch.GetHerselfHimself] unable to fully grasp the intricacies of the matters in question, the guilty parties cannot easily be seen or removed from office. For now, we'll simply have to suffer the consequences.

The rapid expansion of the [Root.GetAdjective] borders is most fortunate, but brings with it new administrative challenges. As every person familiar with the optimistic language knows, "challenges" is the sweeter-tasting word for "problems". Our country has not fully adjusted to its new extent yet, and people who have noticed the confusion and poorly enforced law in these new acquisitions are reaping the benefits.

This lawlessness may eventually pass, but the temporary administrations appear to have built an unstable foundation for the future. It will take time and money to rid our society from the distrust forming in the present situation.

Recent investigations have revealed that much of our well-built trade network relies on bribes, smuggling, and other dubious activities to reach its current level of efficiency. $TRADER$ claims to have known nothing of this, which is likely true.

so im playing as russia and i have 19 corruption. i got that high from unblanced tech. with my current run of rulers with 8 points or lower i can't keep up. if i put full corruption maintiance it lower by .50 a year and cost me 40-50ducats.

so my question is should i go into debt and fight no wars for 15-25 years maybe longer to get rid of it?

15 авг. 2016 в 23:52

You may also have uncored territory which gives you a serious hit to corruption. But for it to be at 19, that's pretty crazy. Seems like you've been ignoring it for a long, long time.

But yeah, just jack up your corruption slider all the way, unman all your forts, and put your maintenence at 0 and wait it out, it's really all you can do.

16 авг. 2016 в 0:26 16 авг. 2016 в 0:32 also im 2 techs behind on mil and adm and much father back on dip thanks to vassal feeding
16 авг. 2016 в 0:33 Well for starters when you put the corruption slider to maximum expenditure you should lose 1 corruption every year. If you say you'd only lose 0.5 a year it means you gain 0 5 corruption every uear right now which is very much! Before bothering with paying a ton of money on corruption try to fix the thing causing your corrpution. You've mentioned you have unbalanced tech, which gives quite a bit of corruption, but that shouldn't be 0.5. Maybe you have a very low religious unity or a lot of overextention. Try to fix that first before you waste a ton of money on lowering corruption 16 авг. 2016 в 0:35 Well for starters when you put the corruption slider to maximum expenditure you should lose 1 corruption every year.

Balance your techs, destroy this useless forts, repay loans and reduce inflation the problem is i don't have the money the money to fund lvl 3 advicers.i mean i could destroy all forts cut my army in half from 200-100.but then do i focus on getting rid of loans first or dropping corruption.also evening doing this i could not fully fund getting rid of corruption without going into the red. i'm so lost. 16 авг. 2016 в 2:21 The thing is if you will put all in corruption reduction without balanced techs with ridiculous 0.5 per year you will be bankrupt after this 40 years run. Kappa Set corruption reduction at 0.5 to get zero per year and do something with techs. And destroy forts, thats 8 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gold per month. They are indeed useless. With halfed army maintenance and with no forts you will already save like 40 gold, thats enough to hold some corruption reduction. 16 авг. 2016 в 2:42 The thing is if you will put all in corruption reduction without balanced techs with ridiculous 0.5 per year you will be bankrupt after this 40 years run.

Most of the best options in your situation involve changing the past, unfortunately. When playing as a nation that's aggressively expanding and using vassals to do so, it's not unusual to end up falling behind in Admin and Diplo tech. However, by setting your National Focus intelligently, prioritising the right technology upgrades over ideas (more of that in a second), and spending money on the right advisors to compensate for particularly awful rulers, you should at least be able to maintain the balance of Admin and Diplo tech two levels (and never more than two levels) behind Mil tech. That's the biggest difference you can sustain without triggering unbalanced research, and you never want to cross that line unless you're about to go into a war and you're not too far away from catching up.

As Russia, you're an Empire. That gives you far more flexibility to change your National Focus - make sure you're using it. In addition, whenever you get a crummy heir, make them a general ASAP and always leave them leading an army. You won't always manage to kill them off that way, but it'll leave you with fewer awful rulers in the long run. This can also apply to a ruler that just has stats in the wrong place - if unbalanced research is your problem, you don't just need rulers with a lot of points, you need them with points in the stats that help you. If you need to catch up with tech, you always want to make sure you have at least a level 1 advisor in that area, and higher advisors are better (to save money, you can afford to have no advisor at all in the tech you're too far ahead in). Planning can also be helpful here. If you know that you're better off in Diplo than Admin, focus on annexing vassals for a few decades and take it easy on expanding via coring. If you manage to get a surplus of Admin points, hold off on annexing your vassals and either expand directly or simply vassal feed. You can't choose your ruler, but you can choose the actions that you do around your ruler.

In your position, you need to get your corruption cleaned up as a first priority. When it comes to loans, keep an eye on how much interest you're paying. If it isn't too bad, then don't be afraid to take out a few loans along the way to get corruption down. Given your position, you really shouldn't be expanding a whole lot until your corruption is sorted out, so you should definitely have everything cored. Forts, as mentioned previously, are generally a waste of money; if you're the sort of nation that has money to waste, they can be strategically handy, but they're an extravagence, not an essential. Keep your armies away from your borders and drop the maintenance down to minimum unless you have rebels that are about to pop, and set your root out corruption slider as high as you possibly can. If you do have to fight any wars, make sure that you only feed your vassals rather than taking the territory for yourself; you can't afford the Admin points to core them yourself, and overextension only adds more corruption. If you have provinces that are of the wrong religion, it might be worth either releasing them as additional vassals (if you have diplo slots available) or feed them to your existing vassals (if they're not getting too uppity), because low religious unity also hurts your corruption. At least get to the point where nothing is adding to your corruption; if you keep your root out corruption slider as high as you can afford for long enough while you eliminate all sources of corruption, within a few decades your corruption will be back down to more managable levels. Another thing to note is that you want to build a spy network in the most technologically advanced country in the world; it'll give you a discount to your own tech costs, so you can catch up more easily (you do need a minimum level of Diplo tech to do this - I think it may be tech 10).

Also, be very careful about the demands you make in peace deals. Unless you've taken Religious Ideas and have Deus Vult, the CBs you'll be using in early game will cost you Diplo to take any provinces you don't have claims on (Imperialism crops up later in the game to achieve the same thing). Even if you do have Deus Vult, many demands still cost Diplo points, a luxury you can't afford at the moment. If you're finding yourself falling horribly behind on Diplo tech, it's probably a sign that you're making demands that go beyond your CB too often; it's really easy to miss the cost on the peace deal screen, but a single peace deal can easily cost a few hundred Diplo points.

While many traders are known for cheating countrymen and foreigners alike, lying about the quality of goods and making fraudulent promises, [Root.GetAdjective] merchants are well known to be trustworthy, if competitive. Although they may sometimes cut deals that benefit themselves and not their trade partners, they rarely lie or take bribes. This has made us the first choice of traders around the world.

Although citizens are encouraged to show trust and good faith in their exchanges, the reality in many nations is that it's a risk people cannot afford to take. This, however, is not the case in [Root.GetName]. We have successfully stamped out corruption on so many levels in society, people not only trust officials to do their jobs without the extra help of a bribe but they also trust each other more in general exchanges. This general belief in the honesty of others is the very thread from which the fabric of society is woven, and our country is a shining example of it.

Playing as a country in Europe. If you take anything more than 2-3 provinces the entire HRE gangs up on you, but if you settle for that you'll never really expand at all.

Wat do? All I can think of is stacking up alliances.
15 мая. 2017 в 13:21
- Ally the Emperor if your taking HRE land.
- Take vassals when not allied to Emperor if taking HRE land (If you can)
- Take/Create Vassals that have cores on land owned by an enemy to use the Reconquest CB, Reconquest CB is only 25% AE instead of the 100% of the Conquest CB. HUGE difference. Make sure to transfer occupation of that land with the vassal cores on it to the vassal and give it to the vassal in the peace treaty or you take 100% AE on it. Land you take with the Reconquest CB that does not have a vassals core or your core will be 100% AE and cost you diplo mana per province. Also if you take cores using the Conquest CB it will be 100% AE can cost Diplo mana. Use the right CB at the right time to get the least AE possible! (Notice I said Cores and not Claims. Claims are for the Conquest CB!)
- Take Influence ideas / anything that reduces AE
- Take anything you can that increases "Improve Relations" (Rate of Decay of negative relations such as AE)
- Take land out of HRE; (France, England, Italy-after Shadow Kingdom, Denmark etc etc) if you are IN the HRE.
- Expand out of your areas ASAP if you started in Europe / HRE. (NO-CB Ireland minors, War with Genoa to take Black Sea land etc. Get AE in other areas ASAP)
- If you started outside of Europe, attack specific religions. Continue to attack that religion until it is completely eliminated. Juggle the truces of that Religion so that 4 countries of that religion are never "up" at the same time.
- If you have very powerful allies, don't worry about a small coalition. (I don't mean small countries, I mean number as in the amount of countries actually in it)
- Learn to juggle truce timers so your enemies never sync up being able to join the same coalition against you
- Max out your Force Limit for both Army & Navy ASAP (Makes you appear more dangerous for coalition purposes)
Playing as a country in Europe. If you take anything more than 2-3 provinces the entire HRE gangs up on you, but if you settle for that you'll never really expand at all.
You'll expand faster than any other country in the HRE with the exception of perhaps Bohemia or Brandenburg since they have amazing and somewhat easy access to non-HRE lands via Poland / Denmark 15 мая. 2017 в 14:12
The list above is quite good.

Create 'Cold War' conditions. This one used to be a lot easier before the change, but you can still sometimes get a situation where no one can get at you because of their needing military access through someone that they are rivalled with. Pay attention to who is hostile towards who, and you can sometimes find a window where potential coalitions would all be blocked by lack of military access to even get at you. If such a window opens up, you can sometimes take provinces with impunity so long as you are careful to stackwipe any coalition naval landings (assuming you aren't land-locked and/or can't just destroy the combined coalition naval power at sea). This used to be a lot easier. like I wrote, it's quite a bit different now, though it can still be done.

Claims do reduce coring cost by 10% and coring time by 10% however

The single exception to this is Permanent Claims.

I've accidentally done something like this in peacetime actually, where Austria had a rebellion is post-burgundy land. They paid full maintaince for 40,000 soldiers because a 12 stack of rebels occupied a single cut off province. This continued for almost 20 years untill a random army with access into Austria met the rebels and killed them.

Is creating vassals just for reconquests really worth it? Vassals feel pretty useless so far, and integration is expensive and takes a long time.

I understand juggling coalitions, though usually on a smaller scale. I instantly declare war on nearby major countries before they can join the massive HRE coalition against me. Thing is, europe blobs into one giant coalition, so its hard to "juggle" multiple. Not to mention that war is costly and bloody, and my manpower can't take it.

I don't have the means or reasons to conquer lands outside europe just yet, but is it really worth it? They can be hard to suppress rebellions in, barely pay any tax, and may be difficult to defend.

Do coalitions always have that nasty +30 coalition war modifier? I made them lose 290,000 men and no less than EIGHTY THREE (83!) ships fighting me, while losing 80,000 men and only 3 ships, but they wouldn't even go for a white peace even after a decade long war, so I had to concede defeat for the greater good.

Also, can I have some advice for my current situation? I've recently conceded defeat to above mentioned coalition due to 2 of my allies not joining my war (Castille was apparently in a rebellion, and the Danish are a bunch of cowardly no good fish eating dirty bearded viking barbarians), and my AE penalty is starting to drop pretty well. Thing is, there is still land I want to own nearby, but taking them through conquest will bump it back up to doomstack level coalitions.

How do you deal with corruption?

So I found that EU4 is really broken for me since 1.17; because I have no ducats in-game.

So yeah - how do you manage corruption?
New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast

I just root it out.

it shouldnt cost you that much, you either have low religious unity (get humanism or religious ideas), very imbalanced techs (set your focus, catch up a bit) or are very overextended.

if you get hit with the event that gives +1 corruption or -1 stability then yeah it will probably cost a few hundred gold to get rid of the corruption, so chose wisely, but overall corruption should have a rather limited influence on your game.

Corrupt Taxmen
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30.
Those who handle large sums of money have always been tempted to claim more than their share of it, and tax collectors are no exception. However, while money getting lost along the way may be a price we can afford to pay, affluent citizens have now found that they can avoid some taxes altogether by paying large bribes to taxmen instead. Currently this seems to be a scheme supported by some of the older collectors trying to retire comfortably. While it is costly, we might be able to avoid spending time and effort on a detailed investigation and just wait it out.

Some of them are suggesting that they would be better off seceding.
Apologize for our failure and promise to improve.
Corrupt Ambassador
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.30.
Our representatives to other countries should represent our very best people, but unfortunately, this is not always the case. Sometimes people are given posts as ambassadors because the administration wants them far away, and at worst, there is good reason for this.

As it turns out, one such ambassador has spent his well-paid exile further enriching himself with bribes. While this is not exactly improving our reputation with the locals, he has maintained important connections here at home and will not be dismissed without causing some trouble.
He has caused more trouble where he is. Get rid of him.
