If you are assaulting provinces then try to take a couple at the same time, as each time you conquer one province your jingoism will rise for a short period.

Okay now the Pope offered me an Imperial Crown (CK Deus Vult). But..it's a trait. Can this be passed along to my heirs, and can I release Kingdoms and keep it? My Croation and British holdings are kind of just a pain in the rear end and don't really benefit me that much, especially when they levy only a few thousands units compared to Venice being 60k on its own (Roma, Genoa, and Alexandria are all a ton as well)

Does saving your game in EU3 make changes to any files outside of the Save folder? I can't for the life of me figure out what's causing my Watcher mod to crash on startup, especially since it started fine before the first time I saved.

I know it's nothing compared to the incredible work Westminster is doing (!!) but I finally got around to releasing my Cascadia nation mod for actual installation/play. Here's the OP on the Paradox forums:quote:
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?701157-HoD-Cascadia-(and-the-State-of-Jefferson) My next plans are to get it working for the New Nations Mod, similar to the "hotfix" where you can just drop the new files in and overwrite the existing ones. I might have a couple of different versions, where it exists at the start of the game and where it is triggered by an event. Edit: Table breakage ahoy!

With all the Byzantium in the thread lately, I figured I'd take a run at them in EU3 again. I kinda hate their default flag, so I google-image searched for Byzantine flags, found one that I liked, and modified it slightly. All credit belongs here, unless you hate it, in which case I did it.

In EUIII that is what the flag was for Byzantium during the 14th century. According to The Book of Knowledge of All Kingdoms. Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos personally used the double-headed Eagle that we equate with the Orthodox Church however.

It looks like the original flag was the dynastic banner and dynastic emblem combined, but with a more standardized cross shape. I made it purple with sorta red trim some places.

After Constantinople was retaken by the Greeks from the Crusaders there is some written stuff stating that they used the Double-Headed Eagle flag that CK2 would use for the Ecumenial Patriach. Gold being the Emperor's personal standard and Silver being Governors and Black being low level dignitaries.

Hey there, sorry if this is a common question, (currently mid-game with a friend of mine, so I can't check all that easily, I'm afraid) but is there some way I can remove/destroy a naval base that was already built in my capital state at the start of the game, so that I can rebuild it elsewhere in the state? Since I'm playing as Argentina and I'd rather the naval base be in Buenos Aires where my garrison is, rather than down in Bahia Blanca, since I don't want to either leave it undefended or split my garrison force. Thanks EDIT: vvv Hmm, how can I do that for a single province? Allow rebels to occupy it, or? Major Isoor fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Jul 9, 2013 |

Thanks Lose control of the province with the naval base in it, build the base in the correct province and then re-conquer the old one.

I had already sunk 40+ infamy into China and didn't have anything left to show for it, and I didn't feel like starting over. Granted, I started to ignore infamy near the end, but ehhh.

I had an AI Japan dismember a post-GP splintered China and end up puppeting one faction that they then spent twenty years conquering the rest of China for. Of course, the puppet became a GP again and ended up invading Japan.

So, what's the fastest anyone's ever seen a crisis war wrap up? Because I just had one end in a white peace after one day. It was Britain, Germany (Me), Sweden, and Japan versus Austria, France, Russia, and the Ottomans over the release of Kurdistan. I think the problem may have been that Austria was due to lose Great Power status before the Crisis started (And they did the moment it ended.) I'm grateful I didn't have to fight a massive war on three fronts, but at the same time I feel seriously blue-balled.

Is the AI supposed to get greedy as gently caress when it comes to war goals during Great Wars, or does my world's AI Great Britain just have a ton of jingoism support? Today they pulled me into a Great War alongside the entire Commonwealth, Spain, and me (Netherlands) vs. France, Russia, Portugal, A-H, and Venezuela. France was utterly annihilated, but the UK kept piling on war goals against Russia non-stop (at one point I think they had 5 or 6 "dismantle fortifications in <randomfuckingrussianprovince>" goals tacked on, causing this Great War to just last foreeeever.

If one of the substates Westernizes first, all the substates become independent. If Chinese Empire (the main part) Westernizes first, it annexes all the substates. The real death sentence to China is if the Boxer Rebellion happens before China Westernizes. If Boxers win (and if they pop up, they WILL win), all of the substates become independent (and Tibet's vassalization is broken) AND every one of the GPs gets a free CB against China (and I usually see Russia take it).

Also good for breaking China is to back the Heavenly Kingdom, as the HK winning will give the substates independence. I don't think Japan can westernize and unite so fast it can give any meaningful support to the HK, but if you manage it, China will be less of a threat.

All the substates became independent and..   Japan has got to be the one of the best nations to do a world conquest with. Has anyone tried it in HoD?
