AnoHito posted:I thought it was just 66% warscore and 5 years. It is. The only influence the war target has on Call to Peace is that after five years of not taking it you will have the full -25 war score for not taking the war target. If you pick a rich province with a fort as the war target then that single unsieged province can be enough to keep you below 66 war score as long as your enemy is fairly small. Wouldn't work on Ming of course.

Fat Samurai posted:Also, is there any reason to convert TC provinces to my religion? Very little. TC provinces get neither the positive nor the negative effects of being the right/wrong religion/culture. You can still convert provinces before adding them to the TC to get prestige/papal influence from the conversion, but that's rarely worth it.

This isn't something you see very often: I guess it could be caused by an AI bug. Denmark wasn't particularly weak in this game. They had conquered Haburg, Danzig, Riga, and half the Livonian order, and Sweden was loyal.

oddium posted:actually i thought about it for more than a second and you could probably just release normandy as a vassal and grant them maine if you want to avoid the war That's what I did. Additionally I put Normandy on scutage and deleted my forts in Calais and Labourd. Once I got the subjugation CB on Scotland France did honor their guarantee, but since Greater Normandy was not part of the war and my remaining mainland provinces had no forts the French couldn't really get much war score against me.

Yeah, Diplomat vassals generally think they have better things to do with their diplomats and will take a long time to make any claims. Militarist vassals will claim anything withing reach whether you ask them to or not. The other three personality types will generally get around to making claims once you mark provinces as vital interest.

Sage Grimm posted:What do you mean? When you're at war and your enemy country's unrest spawns rebels in provinces you hold? Or when you have rebels pop and they appear in enemy territory? Because I've never seen the latter. I believe they are referring to the fact that separatist rebels can cross borders. Let's say you're playing the Livonian Order and you decide to take advantage of Lithuania being stomped into the ground by Russia to pinch a couple of Lithuanian provinces for yourself. After the war Lithuanian separatist rebels can spawn in both your country and Russia. The ones that spawn in your country will be limited by your force limit. The ones that spawn in Russia are however only limited by the (presumably) much higher Russian force limit. Once a mega stack of Lithuanian separatist rebels spawn in Russia they can (and probably will) cross the border and start sieging down former Lithuanian provinces in your country.

This is why AI Russia is usually a paper tiger. The way the trade nodes are set up makes it very difficult for the Russian AI to earn much money from trade. While russian ideas include big bonuses to manpower and force limit Russia can rarely afford to build up to their force limit even with basic infantry. Artillery is a luxury Russian generals can only dream about. Thus once you hit mil tech 16, any army with proper artillery support can stack wipe Russian armies at will.

I believe a released nation will be the religion of the majority of their cores. That's the majority of all their cores, not just the ones you release them with. This means you can't just take a couple of former Mamluk provinces, convert them to Protestant and then release them, as the vast majority of their cores will be the still Sunni ones you don't own.

Traxis posted:So as Timurids are you guys fighting the inevitable independence war or resetting/save scumming so your ruler lives long enough to start annexing your vassals? I did most of what Fister Roboto wrote except this part: quote:Most importantly, don't go to war with anyone for the first ten years and keep your army at force limit. Instead I declared reconquest war on Ajam as soon as the game would let me. This serves two purposes. While at war your subjects can't get anyone to support their independence, thus giving you more time to improve relations. Getting 100% warscore of your cores back also improves your power relative to your subjects.

Nosfereefer posted:I've had tens of thousands of Ottoman troops marching straight through my territory to harass the HRE, and I've always wondered why they're allowed to do that. There are a couple of mechanisms that can lead to troops marching through your country without you having given them permission. If you give military access to a country that's at war, any other participants in that war will get conditional military access and will also be able to march through your lands. This means that if the Ottomans are at war with Genoa and Wallachia, and Hungary gives military access to Wallachia, then the Ottomans and Genoa will also be able to march through Hungary. However if the Ottomans are also in a different war with Karaman then Karaman would not be able to march through Hungary as the Ottomans only have conditional military access. The other mechanism is that, while at war, the emperor gets military access through any imperial province. Combined with the previous rule this means that anyone at war with or against the emperor can also march through any imperial province.

ilitarist posted:Innovativeness ticks down if any of your neighbors are ahead of you in any technology. Many technologies you don't really care about and if you wait for a year you get -10% cost so you can grab that bonus to trade range later and save ~60 diplopoints. If you are grabbing tech ahead of time you get +20% production/trade bonus and Innovativeness ticking up till the tech is no longer ahead of time. But you have to pay +10% cost of tech, i.e. 60 monarch points per year, and you get just +0.005 Innovativeness per month, or 0.06 per year. I think I see one reason you are so down on Innovativeness. The bolded part is completely totally utterly wrong. As far as I can tell the only time other nations matter for Innovativeness is if you're trying to gain Innovativeness by being the first to take a certain tech/idea. Here's a screenshot from my current game: I'm six years ahead in all the techs but as you can see I would only pay 55% extra for taking those techs. That's because I have neighbors ahead of me in all three tech areas. Despite that I'm not losing any Innovativeness, I'm gaining it. For being ahead in tech in all areas. You can even be horribly behind in two of the tech categories (which I have been in this game), as long as you are ahead in the third you don't actually lose Innovativeness. In case anyone wonders, I gained that 25 Innovativeness by 1642 playing as Denmark entirely from events (and a bit of ticking up). I think the only time I've paid ahead of time penalty for a tech was one level of Military tech just before declaring my first war on Muscovy. Other than that I just try to tech up Mil in January whenever the ahead of time penalty goes away. Drakhoran fucked around with this message at 14:52 on Nov 29, 2018 |

When shopping for a suitable vassal it's nice to know where they have cores you can reconquer for them. This is rather easy to find out for currently existing nations. Just click on one of their provinces while in diplomatic mode: It's not so easy if you're looking to resurrect a dead tag. You have to click around on all the nearby provinces and look for the greyed out shield of the country in question. It can be hard to get a good overview and if the cores are not contiguous you're likely to miss a few. Would it be possible to make it so that clicking on one of those greyed out shields put you in diplomatic map mode from their perspective? It would be a big help.

There's no truce timer on the diplomacy window, but the game warns me that I'll get the truce-breaker penalties if I declare. Is the truce timer just in the background, or is the game glitching on me and I have a permanent truce with Ragusa? You have a truce with them. I presume by "There's no truce timer on the diplomacy window" you mean that when you checked on Ragusa's diplomatic status you found they have no truce with you. That is correct. Breaking a guarantee creates a one sided truce. To see when the truce expires you need to look at your own diplomacy status, or just mouse over the truce alert at the top of the screeen: Drakhoran fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Nov 15, 2019 |

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:More often than not, what happens to me when I'm playing in India is that a European power will buy a province required for me to complete an early mission, and I have to put the entire loving Indian mission tree on hold for a century while I build up power and the ability to fight a world war. Then I fight a clusterfuck of a war across the globe just so I can get a single lovely 6 dev province and immediately complete like 7 missions at once after I'm done since I've already met the conditions for all the other missions. This loving sucks. That seems pointless for early missions. Get a claim on the province (though for missions you likely already have a permanent claim), declare a conquest war for the province, wait around for war score to tick up and Length of War to tick down enough for them to agree to hand the province over. You don't need an army strong enough to siege down Paris, you just need one that can defeat a naval landing.

Crushed them and forced them to break up their alliance. Later they just reallied years before the truce with me was over. Warscore well spent on a meaningful option. Sounds like someone got greedy with the peace treaty. When you force someone to Annul Treaties in a peace deal they can make no new treaties with that country for 10 years, so you want to keep the peace deal at <49% so you can attack them again before they can re-up the alliance.
