If you fully annex a nation, then immediately release them as a vassal, does that avoid the "They force-vassalized us" opinion malus?

Yes, the price you pay is that it costs more AE (force vassalizing is 66% of the normal AE amount) and they also get all of their previously-owned cores, including any cores that you happened to have prior to working out the peace deal

gently caress Buddhism and gently caress South East Asia. That game was probably the least fun, and the angriest I've ever gotten at this game, there was just nothing fun about it.

YouTuber posted:Whats the recommended way to do a Milan or Florence into Italy run in the early game? Just sit around doing gently caress all until Shadow Kingdom then go apeshit? Dealing with the Emperor as a threat for any and all options of expansion is a pain and the Papal States tends to buddy up with France pretty quickly. No CB Granada, ally France, gently caress up Iberia and become a colonizer. Granada's allies will have a bigger navy so make sure you get military access first. Bonus points if Castile has the reconquista mission and wardecs you before you go after them, France will help you gently caress them up for free. If you have the opportunity, getting Tlemencen as a vassal gives you some options in North Africa. One thing I catch myself doing more and more lately is attacking someone right after they peace out and eat a lot of territory, occupy + white peace and watch them burn.

Yea, April is getting expensive real quick. Stellaris expansion, EU4 expansion, Dawn of War 3. I'm going to have to get a second job. Also I need to finish my cheezed Austria run soon so I can get the WC achievement before the expansion hits. They might make my save incompatible. I have 50 vassals and it's only around 1500 so it won't be difficult. Yes, I did take advantage of the Imperial Authority bug.

Plenty of garbage 1/1/1 provinces so you can choose however many enemies nearby you feel comfortable with as well as how soon you'll have to deal with European colonizers showing up to ruin your day. You could also try some of the land in Northern Asia/east of Muscovy if you wanted to see how long it takes a horde to eat you.

It's almost a month until the expansion and it won't take that long. Just let the vassal swarm consume all that's in it's path.

deathbagel posted:I plan on doing it along with For Odin by starting in the 1/1/1 province next to Tidore and Ternate on New Ginea. I'll conquer the whole area while island hopping settlers over to NA/SA. I plan on releasing and subsidizing a bunch of colonizing OPM vassals and letting them supplement my own colonizing so I can focus on NA/SA while they eat up Indonesia for me (Ternate, Tidore, Kedah, Pattani, Sulu and maybe Brunei since I gave myself +2 relations) Then I'll work my way across NA and get ready for the assault on GB/Scandinavia.

When you pass one of the last imperial reforms in the hre, everyone that votes for it becomes your vassal and doesn't count against your Diplo cap. Yes it's overpowered.

In this case they're doing this by 1500 is because there's an exploit that lets you gain extra Imperial Authority every time you add provinces to the empire. But yeah, even if in a normal HRE run you become hilariously overpowered the moment you revoke the privilegia, so a WC is definitely attainable. You just feed your endless vassals all the land and eventually use the last reform to annex them all for free.

They might not fix the Great Britain - France - Great Britain bug where you switch back and forth over and over and re-add all the provinces that are removed each time you do though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q53eSynvRmE

Remember that you don't need a completed colony next to someone to fabricate claims, just a started colony. Start a colony in west africa, get some claims, get your war on, and while that's happening you can also be nabbing the carribean

When you get your first colonist, you get to pick from one of three policies. One of them completely stops native uprisings from happening, and is useful if you're colonizing all over the place and don't want to devote stacks of troops and small transport fleets to ferry your garrison around. You can then focus on warfare while letting your colonization efforts happen passively

The +settlers policy is really strong for European powers early in the game when colonies grow incredibly slowly. Once you start to have multiple colonies and +settlers bonuses from ideas and diplo tech I would recommend switching to the 'no uprisings' policy when you can afford the stability hit. For non-Euro colonizers it's a little more situational, if you are a smaller nation colonizing areas with large numbers of high-aggression natives you probably can't afford the manpower to fight natives and you might even lose to them. Also don't forget your estates, you can get more settlers from your priests and your merchants. Jamsque fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Mar 14, 2017 |

On the other hand, -100% native uprisings means that your troops will never be attacked by natives while exploring or walking around through uncolonized territory. It's incredibly helpful for exploring the new world without getting attacked all the time.

The +settlers policy is also pretty good if you're Pueblo, want to colonize, and are surrounded by lovely arid land that you don't get any colonizers on if you don't take the policy. AMA about my bizarre fascination with playing Pueblo

I like a Tibet start, although any Asia start you'll have to resist the siren song of the Philippines and Indonesia. You have plenty of lovely neighbors to pummel and Bengal-Ming-etc are rarely especially enthusiastic about heading into the Himalayas, so you can usually pick your battles. If you feel cheeky you can even go for early sea access in northern Indochina, although that does risk Ayut/Bengal attention.
