When I did a Burgundy -> Netherlands my light-burgundy colored colony in the Caribbean stayed that color when I turned orange.

Thanks for the tips on trade too.

The fact that CN tag color doesn't update makes me very mad whenever I play Scotland or Burgundy or Hansa or whatever.

Sorced posted:full annexation -> you become overlord Hm. I declared war while their main colony was in an independence war, won, force vassalized them, got dragged into the independence war as defender, won, and now they're the colony of my vassal. I guess I accidentally did the right thing by attacking them while they were in an independence war? TheFluff fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Nov 15, 2015 |

Tendronai posted:You can strategically call someone to arms if you know that they're going to refuse to make them take the prestige hit and get the Dishonoured CB against them. If you're allied to Poland and want to break their PU or something then sure but it's not something that you should always be doing. Sadly the dishonored call CB was removed but you can still make them lose prestige and free up a relation slot.

As England, enforcing a union on my rival, France, gives me no power projection? Kind of odd, but it's not like I need the PP anymore.

I tried to do the Prester John achievement once. I thought I got real lucky when various European powers beat the snot out of the Ottomans. Didn't feel so lucky when loving France annexed Constantinople and most of Anatolia.

I read something about going Venice to byzantium in this thread ages ago and so decided to give it a whirl. I've got byz swallowed up but I've hosed up a bit and need to get three or four provinces across the bosphorus to recreate the Empire. Ottomans are still pretty beefy though so I've been snatching poo poo off them with cheesy wars and wooden walls. It's also pretty tough for me to keep up with the unrest now with the big stab hit and my Catholic home bases feeling unruly. Austria is in a PU with Hungary and keep declaring war so that will eventually need to be quashed but I'm still trying to stabilize. Will the events I picked stick with me when I do switch to byz? I took some Council of ten poo poo early which gimped my Republican tradition for a bit more autonomy reduction with the hopes I would get to keep it. Only idea so far is plutocratic and I will probably take aristocratic then because I've never got to do that before. Religious should be good as well right? It's a pretty fun area in which to start. I can't wait to beat up the Pope.

You don't want to form byz until you get the second +RT event in.. 1520-1550? Something like that. Although you stay a republic, so you wanted to take the +RT events, not the -RT events.

Delete all your forts and beat up minors for money. You have a huge army but the autonomy penalty is rough on your income so you may have to downsize a bit as well. Try not to core anything yourself, build up some vassals and finish admin ideas ASAP so you can become Mughals and win the game. If you go up through the Caucasus you can reach Genoa for easy westernization.

Possible advisers +1 is hot garb tho. At least Zoroastrianism gets Trade Eff. +10%. Judaism is the worst. Hidden bonus of being a weird religion: you pretty much always have access to a Deus Vult CB.
