I really can't wait for the new patch. I really want to do the one province challenge and see how tall I can go and how big of a vassal swarm I can keep under control without them revolting. Short term increases to 6 provinces is okay when colonizing the New world provided you turn it into a colony.

If you take it in the same month then it should still be 0 and it should automatically fall. Even if not I don't know how 50 dudes can hold out that long, that seems like exceptionally bad luck. Either way this is a problem that could have been solved by maintaining forts on borders with enemies that have the will and means to go to war, so

Even though the patch is coming (our saves will still be fine right and all the dev costs and stuff will filter through?) I just can't stay away. Started a new custom "Nederland" nation based, surprisingly, on the default netherlands. I'm really vowing not to cheat, don't touch that console!! All I did was give my self 600 gold to "move" a few forts around and that's that. This marks my first time resolving to not cheat at all, not a tiny bit.

I don't believe it actually took 500 days with 50 men but that is an example of how forts are a potential liability if you let them fall into enemy hands. This is a good thing, not a bad one. Don't mothball important border forts, and have staggered defenses if at all possible. Mothball the forts on the inside of your country not the outside. All of my talking and unsolicited advice I've given in this thread is about to be put to the test. I'm the TO-->Prussia with all of Poland and Prussia under my belt. Autonomy is low, Army Tradition is high, and I have a dense network of forts protecting the homeland. Scandinavia and Lithuania, both powers in the top 10 on the map, are my staunch allies. I also have an alliance of convenience with the Ottomans who span from Hungary to Alexandria. We are the second strongest of three major European power blocs. The weakest is a Papal State that's completely unified Italy, Spain, Great Britain, and France. The year is 1675 or so and Austria has unified the HRE. A brutal war I launched ~15 or so years ago, when the HRE was just a bunch of vassals, drained my massive war chest, obliterated my manpower, and saw the cessation of a few key provinces, has left me wondering whether or not this is still doable. In the interim Austria annexed the rest of the HRE with unanimous support and set her sights westward. France is ragged and disunited, a motley patchwork of minor dukes too busy squabbling with one another to present a credible threat to the HRE. The Papal States and Spain put up a bit more of a fight but that war too ended in Habsburg supremacy. I was cocky last time, and my hubris nearly allowed the HRE to completely cripple the only credible threat it has left. My reserves are now full, my forts are now garrisoned. The Empire is tired, a rabid dog worn out from attacking all it sees. My Saracen allies are as ready as they will ever be, the Swedes are prepared to retake their claims in Schleswig-Holstein, and the massive Lithuanian army will hopefully not trip over themselves for long enough for me to drive a stake into the heart of the young Empire. Austrian manpower is at an all-time low but their army total dwarfs mine and my allies combined. No matter what happens, I have only myself to blame. For centuries I was the scourge of the Empire, taking provinces and enforcing my desires at will, eschewing Imperial allies for alien Eastern ones, paying no mind as the Emperor consolidated his power and passed reform after reform. Small wonder, then, that the Habsburgs were able to unite the smaller minds and tracts of Central Europe against us. All that aside, how loving cool is it that as plucky little Prussia Im able to pose a credible threat to a united HRE? This patch owns, development owns, forts are incredible, God bless Wiz.

Thanks to the League maluses I managed to grab the title, but I've gone from a kingdom qualified for empire rank to a duchy.

The cool thing about iron man is that you can't pause during an autosave, so if you hit space while the game is saving you usually miss a few days. So I turned the maintenance back on like the day the army arrived. (I was Ragusa fighting Naples)

So I'm the Emperor as the Palatinate and basically every province I own is going Protestant (along with a majority of the princes in the HRE). It's 1549. What happens if I convert my state religion to Protestant? Do I lose the imperial throne and/or my chance to be elected again? And does anything change on that front if I wait until 1550 and the Leagues start forming?

If the HRE is still Catholic (which it would be before any league wars) then you lose the emperor title upon conversion to a heretic religion.

Arzakon posted:I think you are probably too far behind. I think I've finally hit a good stride in a Kongo game westernizing in 1543 and I have most of the same west african lands you do minus part of Mossi/Songhai's area. I think getting Westernized is the big thing and focused on not taking any land I didn't have to. Other than integrating a small Benin and taking the minors to the south of Mali/Mossi I made sure to take nothing and be super conservative with ADM/DIP. Hitting Admin 5, getting the +Settler Exploration idea, snagging the Cape, and then hitting Dip 7 were priority. Yeah that sounds about right. I conquered a lot of stuff because I figured I'd need lots of money to colonize, and because I was conquering I set my focus to military. I didn't westernize till 1650 and by that point it was too late to snowball hard enough. Arzakon posted:Question about Reforming/Westernizing as Kongo... I saw the "Reform your Government" greyed out decision occasionally while playing and figured I might have to do that before Westernizing. But right before my colony completed a 3/5/3 Pretender popped up which got rid of my poo poo heir... and flipped me to Despotic Monarchy. Did I just hit the jackpot of not having to complete Administrative and lost 5 stability or would have I been able to westernize regardless? I think you become a monarchy when you westernize regardless, but I'm not 100% sure. I didn't have to reform the government either, at any rate.

If you have bad tolerance of heretics you're less likely to have provinces targeted by reformation center, and conversion would be way slower. Unless of course your province is adjascent to that center, those are converted regardless.

If you're the leader of the HRE and remove a heretical state as an elector, can you give the elector title to yourself or does it have to go to someone who's not an emperor? Basically i have to become an elector as Brandenburg so I can form Prussia without leaving the empire.

Emperor can't make himself or vassal an elector, and AI emperor heavily prefers small theocracies when picking who to give electorate, it also hates large kingdoms so much it'll rather stay with insufficient elector number(for example when imperial religion was established and there are too few small princes of that religion) Pyromancer fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Jun 30, 2015 |

Picked up Common Sense and with the low countries situation being so different now, thought I'd try out Holland rather than Burgundy. Burgundy's duke bites the dust very early on and Austrian Netherlands becomes a fact, immediately absorbing Flanders and Brabant. It's 1580 now and besides the OPMs I've conquered (gelre friesland utrecht) I haven't seen a single revolt stack pop up in the southern Netherlands. Playing Burgundy these would have shown up by now. Has this event chain been reworked or does it not "work" because there's a human controlled nation with Dutch as primary culture?

The only time I've seen Dutch revolts since Common Sense hit was when France's single, inland Dutch province rebelled (forming the Netherlands and seceding instantly), but they got crushed instantly by France and their ally Flanders (which had taken most of the low countries and had gotten quite large somehow). After the revolt was crushed and France took back their province, Flanders formed the Netherlands on their own. I think it caused some weirdness with truces and such, but I can't remember the specifics since I wasn't involved.

I have an insane amount of hours in this game and the only thing about it which really bugs me is that right after I get cannons any lovely little tribal revolt I get will pull thousands of cannons out of their asses. Sometimes more than I have in all my armies combined in one revolt!

If you're relying on the conquest CB, it also eliminates the diplo costs for taking non-claimed provinces.
