Is it still possible to trigger the Burgundian inheritance by sitting on burg with a 100% war score? Doing it as France in 1951 but I've never had any luck getting it to work

I seem to recall they nerfed changing religion - you used to be able to do it easily by just owning more than 50% of your cores as a different religion, by voluntarily giving in to religious rebels. If this still works then just conquer a ton of poo poo to your east and south before mopping up Nubia and friends, just get the gold mine first

Starting my first Ironman Venice run and I'm a bit lost. What are the preferred idea groups for a republic? I befriended Austria to make the Ottomans think twice about getting fresh, and plan to form Italy for the achievement. So, just wait until the HRE leaves the peninsula and then swallow everyone? I'm planning to snag Ragusa when the Ottos are busy elsewhere, then maybe dip south for the alexandria trde nodes while they are busy battling the Ottomans. Also, are marches really that much better than regular vassals for warfare?

Plutocratic is really good and I basically never find myself in a situation as a republic where I don't want to take it as one of my first few groups. For Venice specifically, Trade is a good first diplo group because you want merchants and they are hard to come by otherwise. You will often want Humanist as a first admin group for Venice since your easiest avenue of expansion early on is eating the Orthodox minors, but if you are going full Italy it might be easier to go Administrative first because it makes it a lot easier to run with loads of mercs and the coring discount is great for high development Italian provinces. Marches aren't hugely superior to vassals, but they can definitely make the difference if you are evenly matched with your enemy otherwise just because they have more staying power in wars than a regular vassal does.

Sephyr posted:Also, are marches really that much better than regular vassals for warfare? Once they reach medium size, yes. The reason for this is that very small marches are subject to the game's manpower and force limit floors. If you have too small a manpower or force limit, the game just substitutes the minimum. For example, if you have 100 manpower a year, the game will give you 1200 manpower a year. If you are a march with 100 manpower a year, that means 120 manpower a year after bonuses. The game will give you 1200 manpower a year. However, once you have 1200 or more manpower a year from your provinces, then being a march means 1440. That's a big deal. Similarly to force limit. If you have between 1 and 4 force limit, the game will give you 6. So a very small march will get the same force limit as a similarly-sized vassal.

Ally Austria and Poland if you can, take out Byz first, then strike down the Ottoman's when they are weak. If you do get Constantinople then definitely take Crimea and those juicy trade provinces there. That one will have to wait until italy is out of the HRE though, unles Genoa gets beat down by Crimea.

A disaster just started ticking for me: "Aspiration for Liberty" because I am an Absolute Monarchy. There is no way to avoid it unless I change government types, but my only other modern-ish option is Constitutional Monarchy, which has the Parliament mechanics that are super tedious in large empires? This doesnt sound fun at all, time to start a new game I guess!

You lose 20 prestige every 5 years (ie: nothing) and gain +10% Manpower, +10% Tax, and +10% Production Efficiency.

In my current game Genoa has completely relocated to the steppes. Early on they conquered a lot of Crimea, but repeated nationalist insurgencies kept causing them to lose big chunks of their territory there, even as they continued to expand deeper into Asia. Meanwhile they repeatedly lost territory in Europe to Savoy and Milan. Now they've lost all of their original territory and are a completely landlocked, yet sizeable Italian colony located deep in the steppes.

Are there any alternative Germany chains that's not the HRE kaiser-haver reform path in the game? Would be nice to have some options/variety like the Confederation of the Rhine, North/South German Federations, German Confederation and maybe something Hansa related. Some of those are obviously a little out of time frame but that shouldn't be a big deal. Saw some outdated NGF mod in the workshop but not much else... Maybe I'll just put together something.

Some of those are obviously a little out of time frame but that shouldn't be a big deal. Er, I'm confused. Passing all the reforms as Emperor causes the HRE states to combine into a single sovereign nation simply called the Holy Roman Empire. In order to become Germany, you just need to conquer a certain set of land in the German region. For maximum historicity I guess you'd start as Brandenburg, form Prussia, and then diplo-annex tiny German states. If you're asking if there's some kind of scripted chain of events that lets you do it as opposed to acquiring the requisite land somehow (be it by conquest, inheritance, or annexation) and taking the decision, then no, I don't think so.

Thinking more on a higher level of multiple german kingdoms and duchies either getting together on their own, being forced by an outside power (France) or by rebels. And simplest: conquer thy neighbours. The point being some larger formable central european states that aren't HRE/Germany supersized.
