If I remember correctly you need a minimum number of provinces as the emperor to inherit burgundy. Saxony most likely didn't hit that requirement and milan had a royal marriage with burgundy. Thats enough to get it if the emperor can't claim it. Fuligin posted:Repostin' here :How's peoples performance?

Eimi posted:Well, having got the expansion, I just have to say the way war is waged now is HELL on manpower. I'm playing Muscovy and I'm constantly at 0, despite being Russia. Also having had admin focus all game, I'm still not really keeping up. I cannot imagine playing a nation not named Muscovy with current manpower requirements. Manpower is overall much lower then before. After consolidating india in my 1.11 nagaur game I had ~525k manpower and in my 1.12 ceylon game I own the same land but only have 235k manpower. After culturally enriching all of india and using mil on manpower improvements I managed to get that to 300k+ but thats still way less then in 1.11.

I think what the tip means is that if you have unused trade power downstream (i.e. no merchant and you are not collecting anywhere downstream) a small amount of trade power (no trade value) gets transfered upstream.

There is a bug with administrative efficiency in that it works additively instead of multiplicatively which means that as the ottomans with admin ideas you'll hit the 1 adm/development (0.5 for overseas provinces) sanity check on coring cost at tech 27. And even before that, if you focus on overseas territory as the ottomans with admin ideas (i.e. have a vassal between you and the territory you want to core) you pay a measly 2 adm/development. This makes a wc not that hard but still really really tedious. Can't recommend.

If that happens there is a bug preventing all your vassals from joining the war. VDay posted:Is there a good way to get allies to go from being Defensive towards you to friendly? Will it at least happen eventually? I can't tell if some of these alliances I'm forming are worth it if my allies just sit there all day and never join any of my wars. I know it's still useful as a deterrent for other nations declaring war on me, but I'm never quite sure if I should just go with a lesser alliance with a smaller country in exchange for them already being friendly towards me or if I should or even can just wait out the defensive period with my bigger neighbors instead. Once you get high enough trust they should eventually become friendly eventually.

Apoffys posted:What the gently caress? Am I missing something here or what? Why are the rebels instantly winning when there's both an army and an active fort where they spawn? Granted, I had neither when the event popped up and I waited a few months to click it until I did, but still... There are events that cause the spawning rebels to immediately occupy the province they spawn in. This is one of them. Although normally these events (mostly disasters) spawn them instantly without giving you a chance to react. And yes it does make the event pretty dumb because the first option gives the illusion that it doesn't convert the province when in-fact they always do. RonJeremysBalzac posted:I mended the schism as orthodox ottomans by 1510, before any reformation occurred. I figured this would prevent the reformation since no Pope would mean no reform desire, but I was wrong. You'll just have to beat the coalition.

Knuc U Kinte posted:I understand how pu's work, but these were normal vassal relations. Sometimes (mostly with small vassals) the game decides to skip the whole junior partner phase of inheriting a country and gives you the land straight away fully cored. This happens mostly with vassals because they can only have a royal marriage with the overlord and I don't know if it is even possible for someone to contest a pu over a former vassal. You can test that by loading up a nation that has a vassal, rm'ing the vassal and then console killing their ruler over and over again. I messed around with that once and it took between ~3-5 monarch deaths until it fired for a small vassal like 1444 perm or yaroslavl. Too unlikely to be used in any way by the player but likely enough that a couple should happen every game, they're just really hard to notice.

Baronjutter posted:I'm playing as custom netherlands, about half my provinces are in the empire. I've taken a bunch of imperial provinces illegally and constantly ignore the demands to return them. I've vassalized electors and free cities. I lead the protestant league in a quick and decisive war that resulted in protestantism being the official empire religion, which saw Austria permanently lose its emperorship and it pass on to Saxony, who has been emperor over and over for a very very long time and seems to have blobbed big enough to form Germany and is my main rival. None of these answer the main question: are you a republic? (and yes dutch republic counts). If you are you cannot be emperor for obvious reasons. Ralepozozaxe posted:So wait, what are Native Americans supposed to do now? Buildings costing 100 ducats and being restricted by development really screwed them over, but being able to develop helped them a little bit. With this change they are now thoroughly screwed in terms of expanding, going tall, or doing anything fun at all until the Europeans get to them. What are they supposed to do? Still develop. Even with the new +100% after you develop a province ~13 times development will end up cheaper then in the current patch. If they had not introduced some penalty for developing as a primitive a huge number of provinces in the new world would've ended up in the 30 development+ range. ZombieLenin posted:Doesn't this change just mean "Non-European countries cannot hold the emperor title?" Yes. This lead to some hilarious results if the 30 year war started when say kongo was the emperor.

OneTwentySix posted:I really don't get the +100% cost to primitives. They were already the group in the game that most badly needed MPs, this is just going to hurt them even further, especially since a lot of their provinces are crap (and/or mountains for South America) to begin with. It doesn't even make any sense, since prior to European arrival, parts of Central and South America were among the most densely populated areas of the world. If anything, they needed a cost reduction - they don't have points to spare for development prior to this. Even with the +100% cost for primitives after ~7-11 (depending on terrain) province improvements development is cheaper then in the current patch. As a primitive you never want to tech unless you absolutely have to because you get so much tech for "free" once you start westernizing, which means you have thousands of monarch points that you have no use for. With the new waaaaaaaaaay cheaper development it takes between 1800-2500 (again depending on terrain) mp's to take a 1/1/1 province to 30 development. Which is only 1 to 1.5 tech levels for a +150% tech cost nation. If there was no penalty then by the time the europeans would arrive you could have a couple constantinoples in the new world, which would be fine if they implemented how disease devastated much of the new world but taking away the progress you built wouldn't be very fun either. TTBF posted:Generally you want to keep mil tech up high enough to dominate the other natives, and also possibly dip tech if for some reason you need boats. If you're further away from the Atlantic coast you might also get admin tech up so you can get additional colonists. You don't get boats as primitives period.

Having started as Ouchi, I've basically won the thunderdome at this point (which was loving hard), but have left Japan as an OPM because the achievement's conditions aren't exactly clear. You don't have to remain a daimyo but if you remain a daimyo you'll get access to a decision that'll allow for an easy conversion to catholic. If you form japan you'll have to let catholic rebels enforce their demands with a majority of catholic provinces. Which takes awhile but is what I did. It comes down to preference really. If you decide to expand on the mainland as japan you'll need to culture convert provinces because your catholic event rebels only spawn in japanese cultured provinces.

Bort Bortles posted:Do Noble Republics get less RT/year? Or looking at it maybe re-elections cost more (20)? reelection cost is scaled to time in office because otherwise you would start at a short election cycle republic and once you got your monarch high you would switch to a long election cycle one, in fact thats what you used to do. It's 2.5 RT/ year spend in office. Pellisworth posted:Since we're on the subject, I think the +0.2 RT policies are garbage. If you wanna :sperg: and compare the monarch point cost/benefit, +0.2 RT equates to one "free" re-election every 50 years (for a 4-year election cycle let's just roll with that since it's most common). Compare that relative to the potential MP from re-electing versus getting a fresh 4/1/1: You are ignoring the +50 mp / reelection. But yeah they got nerfed hard compared to back when policies were first introduced and they were way too good. Omelette du Fromage posted:You absolutely do not need RT bonuses for republics to be amazing. There's an event when your RT is down to about 40 that gives you 20 RT and -1 stab. Just set your focus to admin and go crazy. It's still worth it. Yep. Thats exactly what I do. A good thing to remember is that low stability is pretty meaningless as a republic because unlike legitimacy RT does not gets reduced by it and your revolt risk does not constantly increase. So the extremely expensive stability from low RT is not that big of a deal. Running around with -1 or -2 stability for an extended amount of time is just fine as long as you can deal with the rebels.
