god gently caress i hate the stupid poo poo this game hides away in its events and decisions sometimes. like the only way to convert to christianity as japan is by decision, but the decision is only available if you're a daimyo. oh you did the logical thing and unified japan? haha gently caress you you're shinto forever unless you get force converted by christian zealots, except oops you've been doing the other logical thing and colonising so you'll never be able to get enough provinces to flip to be able to get force converted. owned!!!!!

Become HRE by vassalizing electors when Austria is busy fighting wars, then try to trigger Burgundian Inheritance. No clue if you can really do that though. Edit: I tested this w/ console and it probably takes too long realistically but if France is the HRE, they will get both events for the French territory and the Lowlands. So if you want to be a retarded powergamer just for 20 easy cores, well, there it is. Larry Parrish fucked around with this message at 11:42 on Jun 15, 2015 |

I've currently got a Hansa game going which has been fairly intense so far. I've managed to connect my territories through conquest, since diplo-vassalisation didn't seem like an option. I'm in quite an interesting diplomatic situation in that initially I was allied with Denmark, Brandenburg and Austria, but then Austria got into a war with France, which prevented me from declaring on Brunswick for Stade, and then Verden when Brunswick was forced to release Verden. While waiting for the war with France to finish, Denmark declared on Verden to take Stade, and I was worried Denmark would poach Stade out from under me, so I peaced out with France, who forced me to annul treaties with Austria. I then tried to declare war on Verden, but wasn't able to immediately because I didn't have a diplomat handy, at which point Denmark called me to arms against Verden. So I dishonoured the alliance call, then declared a separate war on Verden, who Brandenburg was allied with, (still my ally at the time) which let me siege the province first and take it in peace, after Denmark (no longer my ally) helped me smash Verden and Brandenburg's armies. Now Denmark is pissed, so I've allied with Luneburg, Poland, Bavaria and Saxony and am currently working on getting France friendly enough to accept an alliance. What a mess. I'm about to unlock my first idea and I'm really torn as to which way to go. I'm a full two levels ahead of everybody else around me in military tech, so I thought about going for either Defensive or Quality (to help protect against Denmark and whoever else) but I'm also doing quite well in diplomatic tech, so I was thinking Trade or Influence might be a good option as well. Trade obviously plays to Hansa's strengths, but Influence might help in future wars of conquest and dealing with their side effects. Then again, that may all be moot if I can't protect against Denmark (I'm hoping Sweden declares their war of independence soon) which brings me back to Defensive or Quality. Thoughts? Honestly stumped.

Get diplomatic instead of influence if you aren't going to focus on vassal feeding. That said you absolutely should vassal feed in the New EU, since it's cheaper than coring again.

If you think you can manage, support Sweden in their independence. I use it a lot as one of my opening moves when I play Novgorod and they kick rear end. You might get mileage out of it if you want to take danish stuff.

I also don't want to just pour all diplomatic points into vassal feeding since as Hansa I need diplomatic tech. But maybe I'll try Influence like you said.

In my last Austria game where I focused on diplo-annexing everyone bigger than 3 provinces or so, I managed to stay fairly even on diplo tech the whole game. The average nation only costs 400-500 dip anyway, and if you have dip on national focus or a really good ruler you'll hardly notice you have a massive drain from the annex anyway.

Play TO, immediately enter the HRE, then vassalize and annex Pomerania assuming they have no powerful rivals. Congrats, you are on equal footing on Bohemia and Poland almost definitely won't be able to touch you. You may have to restart if Austria allies Poland because that'll make it harder to reach 150 or so relations. If LO has no allies besides you and Riga you can vassalize them with 99% warscore also.

I just did this 2 days afo. I dunno if I posted about it but Poland attacked me while I was fighting pom and beat me up enough and my defensive allies were too slow (loving France AND Austria) that by the time I could get Poland off my back the war had swung towards pommerania. I just sighed and closed the game.

Austria had also gotten that extremely early PU with Hungary they sometimes get.

In my France game I was able to sell provinces to vassals that they didn't have cores/claims on) and then annexed two province Brunswick, with the intention of selling the provinces to Luneberg. Well, Luneberg won't take them even for 0 gold and now of course Austria is going to demand unlawful territory. What am I missing?

It's been so long since I mucked around with this, but is it wrong culture? I know that HRE territories have a malus to being sold or something. shouldn't there be a tool tip with the reason why they won;t buy?

I guess what he means is force-vassalise HRE members and then diplo-annex them rather than annex then core with admin points, since that way you avoid the unlawful territory malus and the increased coring cost. But "vassal feeding" as such will only work if it's a country that has cores in another country you're planning to invade, otherwise they won't accept the province.
