That looks awesome, Europe is evenly divided in 3 religions for a change.

So did a Japanese unification as Uesegi, then went on to colonize Indonesia and North America. Is there some way to shut down the constant "Kiristian" bad events? Because everything would be swimming (westernized in 1650ish after running into Spain and Portugal in America) if it weren't for the 20-30 rebels spawning all over my island imperium constantly because some governor decides to rub people's noses in their icons.

dat one portagee posted:I have a question regarding releasing vassals: You should select one of the following: 1. Take 1 Ukraine province (possibly with a neighbouring non-ukraine province that you'll feed to them). Release Ukraine as a vassal. Next war, demand that Lithuania give all Ukrainian territory back. Disadvantage: 2 wars, Lithuania has a chance to recover and/or get better allies. Advantage: less aggressive expansion, your vassal will love you for all the returned territory. 2. Take it all, release Ukraine as a vassal. Disadvantage: heavy on the aggressive expansion, vassal won't be as happy. Advantage: 1 war, heavily weaken Lithuania.

Soviet_Russia posted:Woah, you're going to have to step back and explain how Mega-Galicia happened. Generally, demand their release in peace, ally/subsidize them, then start declaring war on whoever they neighbor, like Castille and Portugal. You need them to have a big enough army to carpet siege with artillery, at least 40 regiments, or it'll be painfully slow. Go Offensive/Quality and roll in with one or two 32/8/40 stacks to wipe out their standing armies, let the little guy do the sieging, cede the provinces directly in the peace and patrol for any island rebels. In this case, though, I just released one country per trade node and fed them my own cores because I had to go fight Sweden, and I hate micromanaging sieges.

PittTheElder posted:The single best roadblock to France is the Burgundian Inheritance, because it gives all the good parts of Burgundy to Austria. If you're Austria, the even better scenario is that you ally yourself with the Burgundians to kick the poo poo out of France at every opportunity, keeping in mind that if France and the HRE are at war, the event won't fire. As long as you accept Burgundy's call to arms against France, no succession crisis. After 1500 the event will no longer fire. Coincidentally, this is also when Austria becomes eligible for a mission to enforce PU on Burgundy. A PU'd Burgundy is way better than split.

Burgundy doesn't lose their cores from the Inheritance, so you can immediately release them as a vassal and feed them their cores back from France/Austria, depending on who you play.

Yeah but that requires you actually get those cores off of France, instead of spending those early wars making them cancel vassals or release Toulouse or something.

Jackson Taus posted:Yeah but that requires you actually get those cores off of France, instead of spending those early wars making them cancel vassals or release Toulouse or something. It allows you to spend those early wars getting those cores off France, instead of sitting on rear end for 70+ years waiting to get them. It also makes it a lot easier to get the other cores you want off France, since you'll be stronger and they'll be weaker.

I'm about half-way through an ironman orthodox Ottoman WC and I can't decide between continuing and waiting for the patch. Cores are starting to disappear and the difficulties with vassal feeding are annoying me. The patch will alleviate that but will also add more AE, leading to bigger coalitions. I currently have a coalition of England, Castille and Muscovy against me and I'm about to move into India, I'd rather not have to fight the whole subcontinent every 5 years. How is AE with the beta patch? Should I try to finish the WC before the patch or afterwards?

How did you get that coalition? I ended my Ottoman save with a fully conquered Italy and Iberian peninsula thanks to continuous wars (literally the day the truce ended) and the only thing i got was a coalition from Savoy and a Madrid only Spain. Agressive expansion is hilariously low, i could've conquered France too if i wasn't so lazy. Also, is it me or does religious ideas seem like the best first idea to develop as Otomans?

Muscovy has only -17 AE, GB has -43 and Castile -84 (they've been landlocked for a while, I'm currently feeding their colonies to Turkish West Indies). Those 3 plus Norway, Sweden, Munster and Hungary are the only independent countries left in that screenshot, everyone else is a HRE vassal.

And you're worried about the subcontinent ganging up on you? Personally I'd be happy waiting or not as at this point you don't mind mega coalitions as it means you don't have to wait for peace. Every time you get a new member to the coalition, declare war on them, annex\vas as much as you can from whoever you can, repeat every time a new member joins. It's like free wars.

Cast_No_Shadow posted:And you're worried about the subcontinent ganging up on you? I'm not worried, I'm pretty sure I could win a war against all remaining countries combined, it's more that coalitions in India are annoying and tedious. It mainly pisses me off when they go sit on provinces working on cores. I hadn't looked at coalitions the way you described, they just annoy me.

Protectorates are basically the new vassal system for those nations that are far below you on tech, it's not just the new world. e.g. For westernised nations, any nation below the 140% Muslim tech group can be a protectorate.

Ok. Just sucks that Poland has Lithuania in a PU and Lithunia as fairly big Crimea as a protectorate when I'm Muscowy is all. POL/LIT would've sufficed on its own.

Having the Crimea as a PLC Protectorate is miles better than them being an Ottoman Protectorate. Of course, knowing how buggy the protectorate system is, they're probably still allied to the Ottomans!

I was going to ask a modding question. In my CK2 game I am constructing my Roman Empier which is currently looking like this (in 1321): Now, I might want to use the remaining time to expand to the borders of Trajan which would mean:  The problem is, wouldn't this make me horrifyingly powerful in EUIV right from the start? Additionally, I am not sure how mcuh fun it'd be with most territory capture already. Is there anyway I could split the Roman Empire up without it being completely different nations? Maybe something like Diocletian's tetrarchy:  However, I am not sure how you'd mod this in EUIV. Additionally, would there be any other interesting ways the Roman Empire could be balanced out? Another concern is, that if I blob in CK2, Europe will be a boring mess in EUIV.

You're already going to be overpowered in EUIV. But that's always going to be true if you don't start CKII late and restrict yourself from blobbing up. Of course, you could always use it as a launching point to see if you could do a world conquest.
