Vaxan posted:Is there a bug associated with autonomy when releasing nations? Bohemia annexed Silesia and later on was forced to release it. Silesia capital province had 0 autonomy and its two other provinces where at 75%. Capitals always have 0% autonomy, and the other provinces kept the 75% they were set to after annexation

Trujillo posted:I made the mistake of westernizing so now I'll have to core all this since I can't make vassals in India anymore. Can you diplo-annex client states? Yes, they're just like any other vassal. Can't you release a vassal and use that? I thought the restriction was only on vassalizing extant nations.

Funky Valentine posted:Is there an easy way to grind prestige up to 50. Conquer Rome, Mecca, and Jerusalem Alternatively, when you win wars separate peace out the lesser participants with "give up claims", "revoke cores", and war reparations Pellisworth posted:So there's one minor and one more significant change I'd suggest after having played quite a bit of Common Sense: 25 is very easy, you get 15 from having 3 rivals and you can embargo/privateer/insult to get the last 10. 50 is a bit tougher, but if you humiliate your rivals regularly or take a lot of land from them it will stay high for a long time. Attaching the old embassy bonuses to PP sounds terrible though because diplomatic relation slots are not something that should disappear if you lose a war, and because having working diplomats disappear is incredibly irritating. It would be better to tie them to tech or something that doesn't require you to be already dominating to get the bonuses. Also there were dev posts about how they didn't want to encourage players to blanket claim every single province they take. It's less tedious to have claims be useful for large provinces or just to gain a CB than having to claim every single province or face a major coring disadvantage.

Unless it was changed in the last patch I'm pretty sure you get an event that changes your government after you westernize, it's not like tribes where you have to take a decision.

Mr.Morgenstern posted:So I decided to play Naples and immediately got Castile, England, and France to support my independence war against Aragon. Things were going great until I found out I had accumulated 85 aggressive expansion by doing so and got a coalition war declared on me within the first five minutes of the game. Is this supposed to happen? Did you take all of Sicily in the peace? It has really high development so you eat poo poo if you try to take it all at once.

Zuhzuhzombie!! posted:That Vassal/Core rule is gonna be strange. I don't understand why they'd do that. Why is this a problem? It makes sense that they wouldn't peacefully choose to be your vassal if you own land that's theirs. You can still just declare war and vassalize them if you need to.

Pellisworth posted:It's really good right now, the +1 Diplomat and +1 Leader slot are great. Somewhat ironic since those used to be hot trash. If you haven't played much Common Sense, you'll quickly come to find the lack of the early third Diplomat from an Embassy frustrating, especially if you're doing any vassal integration. No, I played a few campaigns and wasn't really tempted to take it at any point. Being down a diplomat was tedious since I made a lot of peace offers to India but that alone isn't worth 2800 military points, and that's going to be fixed in a few days anyway. 10% cavalry ability is a really meaningless bonus and you can also get it from Quality, which feels a lot better now with the +1 army tradition. Vassal income and war exhaustion cost are total crap compared to what you get from Quality/Quantity/Offensive/Defensive, and all of those feel like solid choices now. Anyway here's what happened to my economy a month after I made this giant client state to get Venetian Sea:

Elman posted:Woah, how long did that take to make? Wish you could use something like the nation designer to build your client states instead of adding provinces one by one. It took like 20 minutes and you can see the 3 Yemeni provinces I had to keep because I hosed up the client state creation and Yemen was at war so I couldn't return them. I didn't have 90% in either node after the monthly recalculation, if you conquer all of both nodes and then release/client state down to 9 provinces it should fire but I'm not entirely sure how Just get Poland to beat up the Ottomans for you and it gets easy once they're gone

Castile is weaker because they lowered the development of Iberia relative to France. They don't have as much money or manpower anymore so they can't check a strong France as easily. I've seen Burgundy do well as an AI but I tried to play them and it's terrible. The unions and vassals are tiny and very weak and you only have one free relation slot. You can't even integrate any of them because the union date is 1444 for some reason so you have 50 years of -3 relation slots, and they're on the HRE side of you so you can't feed France to them.

Funky Valentine posted:The more accepted cultures I have, the more advisors I get that are from different cultures, therefore making it seem like I am indeed a ruler of many peoples. They don't have to be accepted cultures for this to happen, but it is great regardless The main problem I have with accepted cultures is that even if you stack a bunch of bonuses to acceptance there are still tiny/poor cultures you can never accept. Every game I play near the Balkans has my nation hating the Serbs, Croats, and Albanians because they're poor as poo poo and there's only one Albanian province.

You can vassalize the Livonians in one war so maybe no CB declare on the Teutons with them as cobelligerent, vassalize LO, give a bunch of TO to Poland and then vassalize next war? Take one TO province next to LO so you can get a CB Not sure if Poland will ally you since I've been restarting trying to figure out how to take all of Naples right at the start and survive

If you separate peace LO first to vassalize them you can take Riga or that one province of TO that borders LO. You just have to make sure you get the vassal before you make the TO peace, so ideally TO gets useless allies + LO and you declare on them with LO cobelligerent e: this works because you can core next to a vassal

How do you get elected emperor as the Protestant league leader? This is the third time I've won the drat league war with 200 relations, royal marriage, alliance with all the Protestant electors only to have them elect a loving opm. You should probably get a huge election bonus for leading the war since those fuckers forget you instantly and elect opms from the catholic league

PittTheElder posted:How exactly to give the colonists to the historical colonizers I'm not sure. I think it should be through decision or policy, which would also allow non-historical colonizers to access them at cost. It would also allow them to be removed as the big regions filled out, which could stop things like the colonization of the Pacific islands in the 1650s. You can probably fix that by lowering colonial range for the AI, they currently get a 50% boost so they get range to the Pacific with tech 11 and a colony in South America I'm vehemently opposed to more gigantic country-swallowing DHE's because the Burgundian Inheritance is already a lovely event that represents the history poorly and has really stupid gameplay effects. Having a bunch of those happening across the world solely in the name of railroading history sounds terrible.

Fuligin posted:I don't mind burgundian inheritance because it fires rarely enough that it's an actual interesting twist when it does. The Dutch revolts, similarly, I havent noticed occurring at all since CS dropped. If all these myriad historical surprises could arise through basic game mechanics that would be beautifully elegant, but I don't think the utility of DHEs as ways of keeping the game interesting during the flow of endless player expansion should be discounted. It's what makes the Reformation mechanics great, and why I think a similar macro-mechanic for national revolutions in the late game would be a great addition. It's not that the concept of DHEs is bad, it's that the kind people keep mentioning here isn't interesting. The Burgundian Inheritance currently just hands the emperor a bunch of really rich provinces with 0 autonomy that they have no difficulty holding on to. The Netherlands almost never become part of Spain at any point and they rarely become independent., so it's doing a very poor job of simulating a historical event and can just fire and kill a major power at random. The Ottomans have a bunch of missions to tear up the Mamluks anyway, and they manage to do it with reasonable consistency, so a DHE to annex them immediately just speeds up the process at the cost of weird railroading and deleting a major power.

It's kind of tempting to just run vanilla observer games every night for like a week, take shots of the map at the end and then overlay all the results and see what the most common elements are.

PittTheElder posted:I am probably the strongest advocate for historical outcomes here. I find it way more fun to play a minor power if the majors are doing their historical thing. The actual Burgundian Inheritance was more like a succession war between France and Austria than the weird partition that we have now, and since that system already exists in the game the event is redundant and weird. If we have to have it then it would be more interesting to have a rare event that can break up European Christian countries in general among their royal marriage partners; it's not as though Burgundy is the only country this could have happened to, nor was it a sure thing in 1444 that the Inheritance would even happen the way it did. Maybe let Austria get their mission to PU Burgundy much earlier. Similarly, the Ottoman missions put them in a great place to achieve their historical borders without hand-holding. They don't have problems conquering the Mamluks in a timely fashion and they regularly swallow the Balkans unless they end up at war with several other majors, which is how that should play out anyway. The Iberian wedding is also stupid and should probably be replaced with something better, since Aragon typically rivals Castile and shouldn't be content to fuse with them. The mission system is pretty good at getting major powers to go where they should, and more general events like "The [X country] Inheritance" or "Failed State Annexed" would add those kind of historical shakeups without forcing the same poo poo to happen every game.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Burgundy wasn't just another country though, it was an overgrown French fief which expanded into HRE lands. I'm not sure what other countries could realistically be split due to being in different "jurisdictions". Not kingdoms at least, though adding similar events for other dukes might make sense. Having HRE duchies possibly just split up without being absorbed by another country wouldn't be too bad either. That's what Charles the Bold tried to do, and it would be nice to have a decision for it. But only the French parts of Burgundy were partitioned due to being fiefs, the Habsburgs got the rest through marriage (and had to fight France for it) so it's weird that the emperor always gets the rest, especially since Austria usually rivals Burgundy.

Apoffys posted:There's no system in-game that can partition things like that though, because peace treaties are one-sided (you can either give or take, not both). A succession war under the current rules would end up with either France or the Emperor getting everything, not a split. Those were two separate possibilities. We could replace the BI with a succession war, or devise an event chain that does something like the BI but isn't limited to that tag at a particular time.
