end of the 4.5 tatami age

it would go to whomever has the permanent core there, which i think is cologne. the emperor never gets provinces returned directly to him. anyway if the emperor tells you to return a province tell him to heck off

Yeah, I've never actually agreed before, so wasn't very clear on what could happen, and the province going to current OPM Cologne or to Austria would made a big difference for my future plans, you know? :v:

Based it on the below from the wiki:

If the same province is taken twice by different or same nations the emperor takes ownership of that said province.

When France owns the entire channel coast and is rivaled to England, it can take some time for Colonialism to spread to the mainland.

Is there a 100% reliable way to be able to get religious rebels to spawn in a province, other than either having the exact same culture as that province or using the Dhimmi estate?

Putting a missionary there (and turning down maintenance to zero so it doesn't actually convert) makes it more likely I think.

If the province already has another rebel type with 10% or greater progress, you'll need to get it back down to zero progress before it can switch.

Assuming it's a conquered province, putting a missionary on it before the end of the month in which you take it should work

I ended up taking what France had in southern England before the game ended. I did beat the Catholics when I got Sweden is overpowered, but I didn't know how to start the holy war at that time. This time I took a lot more land.

Groogy, any chance of a rethink on how siege leadership gets assigned? I just had a pretty frustrating experience when I marched my main siege stack onto a fort that my vassal was squatting on with 5k troops and then they decided to assault while the main enemy stack was 2 provinces away. I took a whole bunch of casualties in the assault and my morale was left at about 20% of the bar. Enemy stack jumps me before I can move away and there goes 7% war score. It doesn't make any sense that a tiny stack can force a huge one to assault with them, especially when said tiny stack is my vassal.

You can go over your colony limit by recalling early but that's almost certainly a bad return on investment. Colonizing in general has a very long-term payoff.

It quickly gets very expensive, that's for sure. I only like to do it if it's necessary to immediately urinate on some territory to block off strategically important provinces from the competition (such as getting to Lesser Namaqualand or whatever first, so you can have a chance to block off the southern tip of Africa and win the spice trade race).

I just had one of my armies walk straight through an enemy fort (into ally owned land, which might be why it was OK?) but then I couldn't go back the way I came without any provinces having changed ownership. Intuitive!

Looks like it's what remains of Norway. I like playing Norway, but I'm not really fond of the grey colour.

*Edit*

On closer inspection it looks like it could be the yellow color from Scotland too, it's kind of hard to tell the difference from the screenshot.

I think this is more an issue of you shouldn't be able to force allied troops to assault, than it is an issue of siege leadership. The current system is one of your only ways to keep temporary allies from taking provinces you don't want them to have, or managing multiple front wars/carpet sieging when there's a danger that a third party might declare on your target.

Colonial nations will keep their armies in the new world but may send their navies over to cause trouble.

Definitely pick up Exploration first, you want to get as many 12+ development coastal provinces as you can before 1500 to maximize your chance of spawning Colonialism. Having a tribal government sucks, but you can hold off on it until your second or even third idea group.

I stayed Fetishist for my run, but I can see the advantage of switching to Christianity, and getting allies in Europe will help with the Ottoman endgame. There's also the third option of switching to Islam. I'd say it's mostly personal preference.

Or my last Sweden game, all three main Catholic PUs didn't happen. No Polland-Lith, Aust-Hung, or Castile-Arg. I crushed the Catholics by 1550.

In my current game I can transfer ownership to a vassal, but then I can't transfer ownership back to myself. Has it always been like this? I could swear you could switch around who's occupying what freely. Like I can go Me --> Vassal 1 --> Vassal 2 --> Vassal 1, but never back to myself.

There was SOME exploit apparently related to that or something, but sometimes you can transfer it over to a vassal with no interest/ability to core the province whatsoever and then THAT vassal will transfer it back to you.

Depending on whether you choose to take over France or not, England is either a really fun hectic start that soon becomes insanely strong or a fun laid-back start that slowly becomes slightly less insanely strong.

Must be a bug then, doesn't really make sense to not be able to tell your own vassal what to do. Plus you can still freely transfer occupation between 2 vassals.

Yeah, and I meant during a war too. It's not totally reliable but I have had SOME success with transferring it from the vassal that currently has occupation to whatever vassal has least access to that front. A lot of the time that second vassal will THEMSELVES transfer the occupation over to you (might work better if you have it marked as a province of interest?)

My liege! If we combine our forces with those of our allies we will have a mighty 30k troops led by mediocre generals to go up against the enemies and their 40k led by vastly superior generals. Shall we declare war at once? :downs:

I hate having allies sometimes. I actually like helping them out in wars, if I have the manpower for it, but I can't stand when they want to make me get stackwiped and have all of my lands sieged down for however long it takes them to finally get that their war was effectively over a long time ago.
