      Effects of loan and debase should be switched, debase currency is the most causes of inflation in history especially during EU4 eras in 15th century, Weimar republic got their massive inflation because of debasing currency, and loans always cause corruptions since when you owe someone you always do favor for him even sometimes breaking the law, loans are one of the biggest causes of corruptions even in current state of the world.

      @exantiuse497 4 года назад +5

      SatsuJ Taking loans to build buildings that make money is almost never a good idea. The base yearly interest is 4%, meaning if you wanted to take loan to, e.g., buy a manufactury for 500 gold, in order to be worth it the manufactury would need to generate 20 extra gold in the time it would normally take you to acquire that 500 gold without taking loans (e.g. if your surplus is 20/month it would take 25 months or 2 years 1 months, which means the manufactory would need to produce .8/months for it to be worth it). Meaning the richer you are the more the investment needs to make to be worthwhile. And takikg loans causes inflation which costs admin points to remove

    • @DieFrauAmHerd
      @DieFrauAmHerd 4 года назад

      @@exantiuse497 Normally you would be right. But you have to always consider the situation. Sometimes one manufactory gets you to be lead producer of a trade good, sometimes you need that manu for the instition spawn/spread. Sometimes you are planning to go bancrupt anyway. But most importantly you need to think when they manu pays itself AND the interest AND the inflation of. You have almost 400 years ingame time. And then there are all the modifiers like completing the mission for construction time and cost which makes it even more worth to build it since it pays off sooner coz it didnt cost as much and didnt need as much time to built. Or when you have eco ideas to the inflation point so infaltion just doesnt matter that much and even interest reduction. There are TONS of scenarios where its worth to do that. so its almost always a good idea when you just check the situation or rather prepare there. Also not only does it boost your production money but your trade money as well. and when its finished it makes it easier to repay your loan anway, it can single handedly (depending on how efficient it is) pay of the interest

  • @hoyinching9313
    @hoyinching9313 4 года назад +32

    I really thanks for this guide.
    I do a morocco campaign and try a planned bankruptcy in very hard mode. Because in very hard mode, you can't ally Aragon, Ottomans and France early on, I had to rush through Iberia. I make many mercenary infantry to fight due to low manpower as morocco . Before bankrupt, I develop all in coastal province, so that I can steal and hold more warships.
    After war with Portugal, Castile and Aragon, I keep 15 warships, naval force limit like 25. I ally Zlemcen and Tunis for defense to make sure no one want to fight me during bankruptcy. And yes, right after bankruptcy, pleasant war is very easy to occur, However, it is not a problem, because I already have -3 stability, -100 prestige and 0 legitimacy.
    Finally, I accept pleasant offer to end pleasant war quickly. Right after 5 years recover, I see AI Portugal and Castile always try to avoid bankrupt, so they struggle but still bankrupt. I attack them separably and it was very successful.
    I think it is a example of necessity planned bankruptcy.

    • @hoyinching9313

    Oh and getting a civil war can actualy do you good in bankruptcy. You get all legitimacy back by losing the civil war, aswell as stability (i think). On the cost of prestige though. Oh i forgot max army is the most important part of it, so after you go bankrupt consolidate and let civil war start(if you are able to).

    Tip:
    1. If you select the state general gov reform and declare bankruptcy right before/ during the election, you can instantly recover your legitimacy to 95.
    2. If you have boosted your absolutism near the cap, your absolutism will drop significantly.
    So during 3rd age, you should either not go bankrupt/ bankrupt before absolutism gets high/ bankrupt and activate the revolution as the purpose.
    3. In the preparation stage, you can maintain a small size of the army so that you can borrow more loans to build your economy, and just build an army and navy right before bankruptcy.
    4. You can debate currency for any miscalculation or emergent situation. (e.g. your income dropped for a few months)

    _"Development removes devastation at 5% per point (with adjustment according to local autonomy)."_
    I can't find any information anywhere on how autonomy is relevant to this. As usual, the wikis are extremely lacklustre or ambiguous on anything but the basics. Does anyone know?
    Anyways, you can exploit before developing to help reduce the the long-term economic/administrative consequences of a bankruptcy.
    I've never really done that myself, though, and I've never induced a bankruptcy either, because I don't see the point. I could see the point if you know you're going to go into a harsh economic period. But I've just never done that, because of other micro-management... same goes for war etc.
    I can understand/see the nescessity of this in multiplayer. Not in single player, though, I consider it absolutely pointless and useless there. Just play properly and you won't need any induced bankruptcy to fill all your building slots or wreck AI.
    Of course, the exception would be small nations, with like 5-10 provinces (any less wouldn't make any sense in regards to bankruptcy), however, who on earth have 5-10 provinces only by the time of manufactories. Regardless of nation.
