EU4 - Governing Capacity Guide (1.31)

[@dalimillazan2877]

A very good in-depth guide for Governing cap, thank you so much for this. There are no good gov cap guides except this one.

[@roygboy77]

Thanks for the indepth content on this subject!

[@RAZORAGS]

Thanks for the video, it really helped me

[@UprightKnightGaming]

Glad to hear it helped :)

[@SaideBilla]

also you can use centralise state for 100 reforme progres it takes 5 years and reduce the amount of gov cap by 20

[@UprightKnightGaming]

I don't have leviathan yet, so thanks for pointing that one out!

[@mdsaxc02]

Thanks just started playing this game last week much better than crusader kings I play with cheat codes so it can get too easy but this game is very challenging in a good way.

[@akiamini4006]

Man ! Good that you reminded that estates priviliges ! Im as france ... kissed that mari horse and munched on aragon and 300 over gov cap in 1500s ...

[@UprightKnightGaming]

Glad I could help :)

[@marcusaurelius8467]

Great video. Gobbled too much land in my Poland-Commonwealth Campaign and having trouble with my governing cap due to 1000+ dev around the 1530s. I'm gonna have to refrain from diplo-annexing my chunky vassals next time and instead wait for tech and administrative ideas.

[@UprightKnightGaming]

The vassal swarm is always effective while you wait for more governing capacity :D

[@AwoudeX]

@@UprightKnightGaming it is a good practice to take vassals anyway when you subjugate or release one that has many cores. The casus belli will reduce the AE by tons in the war to reconquer those 'lost' cores. You'll be much faster expanding, especially early on (mind the loyalty though, grow your army yourself too especially, and keep up tech)

This is a great guide!

[@UprightKnightGaming]

Thanks!

[@MrDecla]

Great explanation, thx man.

[@danielhelms2614]

Forgot that you can use government reform points on your states. Every 100 give 20 capacity per state.

[@UprightKnightGaming]

Good call out. So many things in this game, it's easy to miss something!

[@phobics9498]

I noticed that for some reason that even when my province isnt stated, it still costs exactly the same amount of governing cap, same with trading companies. Now it says that on the state view but I'm pretty sure that when I unstated a bunch of stuff I noticed my governing points thing go down, so yeah, another bug

[@bad-orange10294]

in the building view on provinces it is displayed correctly, i think...

[@vincentpelletier6670]

I have been playing eu4 for yearssss, never knew about that government reform button for extra gov cap

[@UprightKnightGaming]

Glad you learned something new :)

[@ericlundquist3466]

Some monuments have modifiers towards government capacity

[@UprightKnightGaming]

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't have the leviathan dlc at the time of making this.

[@ericlundquist3466]

@@UprightKnightGaming ah ok Makes sense. Gives the game alittle bit of a CIV 6 feeling with natural wonders What DLCs do you have for this?

[@UprightKnightGaming]

@@ericlundquist3466 Yeah, I was going to get it when it came out but I seemed to be really buggy from what I heard, so I had held off. Planning on getting it soon. Would you say it's more stable now?

[@UprightKnightGaming]

@@ericlundquist3466 I own these dlc: Art of War, Common Sense, Mandate of Heaven, Rights of Man, Rule Britannia, Cradle of Civilization, Emperor, The Cossacks, Dharma, Wealth of Nations

[@SigurdBraathen]

Do any of the Great Projects help with Governing Capacity?

[@UprightKnightGaming]

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the one in Madrid I believe gives you some govering cap. There may be more though.

[@SigurdBraathen]

I searched, @@UprightKnightGaming , and found: Madrid: 0/+5%/+10% Napoli: 0/+50/+100 Bangkok: +5%/+10%/+15% .. Source: Paradoxwikis.

[@kpss6711]

Excellent guide, but music is too loud

[@SigurdBraathen]

Is this video still valid?!? There's so many "expansion" to EU4! 😕

[@UprightKnightGaming]

Most of the info in the video is still good. There is new stuff obviously since new dlc come out so regularly.
