Should only be available as protectorates yeah, unless they've westernised (of course). You can keep Indian tech group vassals if you were in the Muslim/Indian/whatever group when you westernise, but can't get any more. Are you seeing it happen in your game or something?

So, has anybody else noticed that the AI will now simply replace lost manpower with mercenaries if it can afford to? The AI seems to be able to raise massive mercenary armies at the drop of a hat now. You literally have to run around the country killing building mercenaries as quick as you can, else an enormous merc army appear.

What on earth is up with some of Japan's events and decisions? I guess since I'm not a Daimyo I can't just say hello to Catholicism, but the law that prevents that staggering -7% to missionary strength is broken. I know I could fix it in the event files, but instead I decided to see if I couldn't spur conversion. So I moved my capitol to a province with high unrest, did everything I could to raise the unrest level, and finally provoked some catholic zealots. They occupied my cap, got all the way to 100%, enforced their demands... which apparently didn't involve converting my country after all. That and all the weird flavor events. Did Paradox just port the whole island over from EU3 and forget about it? And what can I do to make my country Catholic? I'm not above editing the save files, but even when I tried that I couldn't seem to actually get the religion to change.

Religious rebels enforcing their demands is the same as accepting them with regards to state religion, you need to have more catholic provinces than shinto. You could babysit some catholic zealots and get them to siege a bunch of provinces, which converts them, and when more than half are catholic accept their demands. I did a Qing game and got bored after finishing off Ming so I tried to convert my country with a single 1 base tax Sunni province. I managed to get religious unity below 50% (it was 62% with a policy to increase unity by 20%) with 150ish provinces and 700ish base tax after 100ish years of following them around and having 30 3 stacks set to suppress rebels and unsiege stuff. But I think religious unity is based on base tax, and being able to accept/have rebels enforce their demands is based on province count, so I guess I had too many garbage Siberian provinces. Rebels will consistently move back into provinces of their religion, and form groups of 3 or 4 on a single province, and you will get mad and its like herding cats and I hate them.

I have some wierd rebel problem. I was at war with Poland, and during the war they got some ridicolous rebel stack on top of one of the provinces I had sieged from them. Polish Noble Rebels. In my own lands I don't even have any polish provinces, they belong to my march Krakow. If they were my rebels I got no notification that they were going to rise up. And my country was super stable, not even close to any rebel problems. I guess it was Polands high war exhaustion that got them agitated, however it seemed to use my force limit as the stacks were ridicolous. One of 92 regiments and one of 32. Then I just avoided them and ended the war. After the war the game seems to think the rebels are mine and they are close to enforcing their demands even though they are sieging a different country, Poland. This must be bug? http://imgur.com/Buk37lt Edit note: How do you get imgur links to show up as a clickable preview and not a gigantic image?

So, my Poland game is going pretty well. Finally weathered through the bit where I was dealing with having just one Diplomat because of the loving Sejm, and also managed to form the Commonwealth. I took, released and integrated the two Ruthenian provinces from Hungary and in my last war I had them release Transylvania, which I summarily vassalized. Pskov also broke out of Muscovy after Muscowy took a beating in a war against Denmark. They're now also under my protection. A couple of questions: since I now have Transylvania as a vassal, would the best strategy going forward with them be taking one Hungarian province at a time, feeding it to Transylvania and then annexing them once all of Hungary is my vassal Transylvania? Secondly, I've yet to deal with the Livonian Order, what would the best way to go about that be? Should I just fabricate claims on their provinces, take them all in a war (not sure if this will be possible in a single war) and after conquering them releasing them as a vassal? My reasoning for this is that if I try to vassalize them as part of a war they'll take a really big opinion hit towards me which means it'll take a really long time for me to boost my relations with them to the point where I can integrate. Also, I find it really ironic that Lithuanian isn't an accepted culture in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

It fires very shortly after 1600 and you just happened to be occupying them at the time. There is definitely some bugginess wrt rebels that spawn in territory you temporarily occupy, no idea if it's getting fixed for 1.9 but I hope so. 2) Click the image on the imgur page to get the direct link, then put it in a [timg] tag here, like so:

I decided to just play on, as 20 more autonomy in every province would not be the end of the game. Only 20 years until it is gone even if I am at war. I was vary because it is an ironman game. Nothing happened, the warning just disappeared. I guess Poland accepted the demands as the rebels are gone from their lands too. Just a display bug then, at least in this case.

My suggestion is that mercenary cavalry/artillery be one tech tier ahead of the current country's best unit type. This would also mean that you could hire mercenary artillery before you could build it yourself (Ottomans).

PARADOOOOOOOX 1. Flanders' king dies, causing a succession war between Austria and Saxony. Austria is my ally and tries to call me in. Me being the greedy player that I am decide to use my claim on antwerp to declare my own war on flanders. Easily said and done. Carpet-sieged flanders and saxony, made a force-vassalization of cologne in the process and forcevassalized flanders. Here is flanders as my vassal, on the 10th of august.  Hey, what's going on in Saxony. Huh, the succession war is still going on despite flanders now being my vassal. That's weird, Saxony have the same king as my vassal. Ah well, there have been weirder things, I'm sure it's nothing.   What's that? You're wondering what this cost me? Just a bit of aggressive expansion, is all...  I don't even get a "restore vassal" CB on austria. well gently caress you too game.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or exploit. I'm still working through my first AoW game as Brandenburg->Prussia. I'm protestant. In preparation for the league wars, I knocked around Austria (with Burgundian lands) and forced them to release Styria, which allowed the electors to vote in the Palatinate as emperor. By the time the leagues actually formed though, I was at war with the Palatinate (I think they got dragged into my war against Poland), so I couldn't join the league, and the league war started while i was still at war. I vassalized the Palatinate in my war, and got made war leader for the Catholic league as a consequence. So immediately I wanted to concede and make protestant the official religion. Unfortunately, the league war modifier to peace deals meant I had to win some battles first. Still, the war was quick, easy, and protestants won. Catholics came back very quickly though, and the second round league war was a slog that I really didn't think we would win. It didn't end until we drained France's manpower with force march and stack wipes, then conquered all of France, Austria, mega-Savoy, and Poland (and we never got 80% of battles won for ticking war score). It was a lot of fun, but I'm very glad that I didn't have to do that twice and got to cheese the first war.

Why do my colonial nations have a constant +0.02 to liberty desire "due to Situation in The Hansa" (I'm playing the Hansa)? What situation? Not quite sure what I'm supposed to do about that either, as lowering tariffs is quite expensive and a temporary solution anyway. My first colony is already at 36% liberty desire despite not once having their tariffs raised.
