Trying an Orthodox Ottoman HRE WC at the moment, is there a way to release nations that have provinces outside of HRE adding range (Mallorca, Azores, Iceland etc.) as HRE vassals? I tricked Aragon into becoming a HRE vassal by selling Mallorca to Spain before releasing them but Portugal always ends up putting its capital in the Azores. I may also have released Portugal too early, if they found a new colonial nation as my vassal, will that one count as mine for the WC?

If I feed a vassal something they don't have a core in, are they going to give it up when the Emperor demands it? toasterwarrior posted:I can confirm that colonial nations not granting colonial range has finally been fixed. Time to finish that landgrab in the New World Speaking of colonial nations, I released and switched to Brazil since I'm gonna try the achievement to vassalize your former overlord, it seems like former colonial nations can create their own colonial nations. I took Portugal's poo poo in the Carribean and formed my own colonial nations there. Luckily my colonies in the La Plata region do not seem to form a new colonial nation. On the other hand Portugal's European territories do not create any overextension, which is a bit weird.

Adventure Pigeon posted:So I have an issue. I'm playing as England and I've nabbed France and Castille through personal unions. I've currently vassalized multiple HRE members and was thinking of starting to annex them. Will the emperor demand return of HRE provinces even if I annex the nations entirely? I don't want to get into a war with them yet because I'm too busy rampaging through Asia, and I'm thinking of starting a campaign in North Africa and the middle east, and bringing down the Ottomans will be hard, since them and their allies have an ungodly amount of manpower. Annexing gives you cores, the emperor only demands "Unlawful Territory". However you will get a stacking opinion penalty with every HRE member for each HRE vassal you annex. This penalty also applies to your own HRE vassals, on top of the standard penalty for diplo-annexing. If you don't annex them all in one go it might take a while to get the remaining ones' opinion high enough for annexation.

Two games in a row I managed to make my North American Indian empire in time, of respectable size, by the time the Europeans arrived... and then could not westernize because I was too advanced. So I can keep using bows and arrows and clubs because I don't know how to use guns.... but I cant copy the Europeans barbecue I am too technologically advanced. Bull. poo poo!

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?

Mans posted: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. 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.

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.

unicr0n posted:Ok so that makes a lot of sense, because the current reform is about 8 for, 22 against and I'm having a hard time getting is passed. If you mouse over a country's shield at the bottom of the hre window, you'll see the reasons for their attitude towards reforms. Overextension generates a pretty massive penalty, so if you have any OE, it may be worth delaying an imperial liberation war or conversion until the OE is gone instead of overcoming it with more IA.

Ditto, I have an Ottoman HRE save with the western half of the world and a Minghal save with the eastern half, I just can't bring myself to finish them. I wish I could merge them. Playing Poland now and I can't get the Winged Hussars achievement to fire. I have Quality and Aristocracy, I've tried switching cavalry types, I've quit to menu and reloaded several times, it's an ironman save... This is what the military screen looks like:  And this is the script check for the achievement: code:

Jolan posted:Only two things I can think of is that you're playing a game that you started pre-1.2 or that you didn't take the earliest starting date, but I doubt any of those is true in your case. Try quitting the game entirely (not just to main menu) and then reloading, sometimes that jostles the achievement updates. It is in fact an old game I set aside at some point, but I can't remember how old exactly. Started a fresh game to go a different route after having a laugh at this "guide". I think Austria's AI is going nuts, declared war on Bohemia within a year to revoke electorate, now it's 1486 and they're down to 4 electors with apparently no intention to replace them.

It's http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=253263609 but not the workshop version, the second download link called "With Terrain Shadows" is ironman compatible. Looked through the videos a bit, Armuba is much more aggressive in CK2 than EU4, I don't think he's gonna get the WC at his current pace. I guess he just needs a bit more experience, his start was pretty messy and he blew a perfectly good chance to release an OPM orthodox Persia as vassal and didn't even know it.

quote:When you start to diplomatically annex a country, doing so will have a ticking cost of up to 15 diplomatic points per month. When your point expenditure reaches the country's total base tax * 15 (so a base tax 10 country would take 150 diplomatic points to annex), the country will be annexed. This means that diplomatic annexation is no longer a 'free' alternative to outright conquest, but uses a different kind of points and allows you avoid all the nationalist problems you get from just taking the provinces. quote:If you've ever felt that it is a bit silly that Tangiers is considered a distant overseas province to Castile, we have some good news. The way we calculate overseas provinces has been changed so that provinces within a certain distance from your capital (roughly the distance between Italy and Libya) no longer count as being overseas provinces, allowing you to get the full tax, manpower and forcelimit benefits from those provinces.

Trying to finish my Minghal game before the DLC and I can't figure out why I can't use the "Unify Islam" decision. All the listed provinces are Sunni as far as I can tell.  Ed: Nevermind, I guess all_owned_province is for all my provinces, not just the ones listed in the decision. I still have a bunch of Confucian provinces, waiting for the +1 base tax events that convert them to Buddhist.

I'm wondering if Paradox should just drop westernization all together. Seems like it doesn't serve much of a purpose anymore. You don't get Western units anymore, the only advantage is the tech cost/removal of MP penalties.

Found another misleading tooltip, the trade company screen says that the TC increases goods produced by non-western countries by x%. Looking at a 5 base tax province, they get +0.12. It is also mislabeled as bonus from merchant republics, there is no merchant republic trading in the node.  Looking at a 1 base tax province, they get +0.12 too. So you really get only x% of 1 from the trade company. The tooltip in the trade screen should just say increases goods produced by 0.x because I can't find anything that would actually modify that number.  Also, is this supposed to happen?  Having the natives to a default government like feudal monarchy when they reform would be more sensible, it's a bit silly when they copy a supposedly unique government type.

They're talking about peace deals that are refused despite having a green check mark when they were sent. Like Pitt said, this can happen if for example you send the deal while paused and then send your besieging armies or blockading fleets home before unpausing. All the lifted sieges while change the AI's attitude and may result in a refused deal.
