If speed is important, you can starting getting claims on England by just annexing Connacht in your war instead of vassalizing+annex. Connacht is really cheap to core, and having them just as a vassal probably won't give you any CBs on England which is what it sounds like you need.

I might take one of their provinces and core the other so I can start feeding them England. Also eventually vassalize the remnants of Scotland (reduced to only Orkney now) and re-feed his cores to him. EDIT: Also, gently caress France. I allied them to help me out with my wars against Castille and Aragon, and they haven't helped ONCE. They're always in a truce or another war.

GreyPowerVan posted:I want to stop them from colonizing before they start. Imo this isn't really necessary. If you can no-CB Connacht without too much pain, go for it, but England is a fairly slow colonizer out of the gate (only 2 colonists as they don't take Expansion early) and it is very easy to mop up a few colonies if they get started before you can cut them off. You're unlikely to completely break them in one war anyway, probably you'll attack them a couple times, taking the few colonies they've managed to establish in the mean time (if any), and grab a bunch of their European stuff.

I'm doing my first Ironman game - started as Holland, allied France, formed the Netherlands, yada yada the usual - and I ran into a really weird thing. It's around 1650 and I'm chugging along doing OK in Europe and earning tons of cash from trade. I want to take a few provinces in Malacca, declare war on Pasai and call in my trusty ally France just for the hell of it, win (France never showed up ofc) and within weeks of the peace agreement France first accepts a renewed royal marriage and then suddenly breaks their alliance with me. The relations tooltip looks like this: Apparently they suddenly started desiring all my provinces in Indonesia and the Philippines for a nice -200 relations hit. Their closest province is a colony on Madagascar and we've been allies the entire time since 1444 despite different religions and border frictions - "trusts the Netherlands utterly"  I mean I can most likely make it out of this fine if they declare war, I was their only real significant ally and I'm slightly ahead of them in power, but jeez it's gonna be a nuisance. Why did they do this? TheFluff fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Nov 13, 2015 |

Yeah this is a pretty lovely mechanic right now, what happens is even an AI who has been your most loyal trusted ally forever will suddenly hate you because they take a mission to conquer some region you have provinces in, which instantly tanks your relations. Should be fixed with the upcoming expansion though I believe

Right. I'll probably keep playing and see what happens, it's just not ironman without the potential for everything going horribly wrong. Still, I really do hope they fix that because it's kinda bullshitt-y. TheFluff fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Nov 13, 2015 |

If they complete or fail the mission you'll lose the relation penalty and can immediately re-ally them again. Which of course makes no sense but there it is.

TheFluff posted:welp I managed to dodge this in my Holland -> Netherlands run by taking a relatively poor province in India and just giving it to France. Once the mission was gone our relations went up high enough to renew the alliance for the rest of the game, and they never actually expanded into Asia in any meaningful way.

Thanks for the tips Eej & Potoweet, that should make it a lot less painful. Tsyni posted:Time for you and Spain to take a slice of French Pie. We're rivals and they're not as powerful as they look. The yellow blob in what was formerly England is Scotland in a personal union with almost-whole-Scandinavia Sweden. The remains of England (basically four provinces around Bristol, one province on Ireland and two or three insignificant colonies) is my vassal. Spain holds a bunch of West Africa but I've taken their important trade ports on the Ivory Coast so I'm the one raking in the profits from that, dominating all the trade ports between the Spice Islands and the English Channel. Instead, they're busy losing wars against the Inca. I don't give a poo poo about South America except Panama so it's all a huge blob of Portuguese and Spanish colonies.
