Not just your trade city, but your actual capital. Move it to the low countries to avoid revolts later. If you have Antwerpen and Holland, you'll rake in the dough. Transfer trade power from Lubeck to English channel.

hey what's all this about. does it matter which province and does it just completely negate the 35k+ rebels

They just need to replace fabricating claims with a general border friction CB that everyone gets, or allow you to fabricate claims on the state level. Fabricating claims on multiple provinces is really boring and dumb.

Why is it that sometimes I need to re-make cores? It's instantaneous to do so but I'd like to avoid it and hang onto the AP if I could.

are you talking about like. right after you gain them in a peace deal. i think you pay half of the coring cost, then state them, then the rest of the coring cost is instant

how likely is ming to implode around 1600. i'm a pretty powerful japan but the game crashed and when i reloaded they rivaled me and i'm afraid of their 90k troops and crazy force limit. no institutions have come close to spreading over here except for colonialism which i got from an event

I was looking at the requirements for spawning on the institutions' screen and it looks like your capital also has to be a port... Which is either a change for 1.19 or is mislabeled.

i think this means the province it spawns in will be a port because that's dumb otherwise

Ah I gotta move my capital to the HRE, that'll do it.

I wish you could get a break down on why people vote how they vote. Like it's nice if I mouse over it shows I'm at -1000 and austria is at 150 and Baden is at -974 or what ever, but tell me why I'm at -1000, break it down. I'm sure it caps at -1000 and there's some "capital not in HRE -1000" modifier.

i thought it did ?? i remember modifiers like "nation too small" or "not in the hre"

in my first game i played as burgundy and vassalized lorraine and the whole hre retaliated. in my restart austria helped me take most of france but then the netherlands rebelled and my awful understanding of the military and what ideas were good brought me down.

looking back burgundy is not a good first time nation, or really a good nation in general, but it always warms my heart when they survive into the late game and do well

Burgundy isn't newb friendly, certainly, but they are actually a pretty powerful country to start as. They also have good NIs.

you get the +10% morale and some good nis, but then you gotta sink a lot into annexing nevers/the netherlands, deal with the netherlands rebelling, expand into either the hre or (if you're not quick) elan france. burgundy is strong and my friend but it's an uphill battle

i did a successful chrysanthemum throne a few weeks ago. the worst part was the brown daimyo would keep declaring war for the shogunate and we would stomp japan + the other daimyo but then yeah he would peace out and we'd all be subjects still.

eventually when i managed to declare before him i couldn't figure out how the shogunate was supposed to be passed in the peace deal so i liberated all the daimyo and fully annexed japan a few years later. weird war

it's 1484 in central america and i just completed all the aztec reforms. my ae is super high from constantly breaking truces and my manpower and ducats are depleted. but i think i can still conquer everyone before europe arrives.
