Hmm, France forced Burgundy to release some stuff, including province of Cambray (uhh, Hainaut maybe? I forget, they were purple, not sure it matters) and they started out as a junior partner in a PU under nobody. Mousing over their ruler gave me a CTD.

Bold Robot posted:Does increasing production via development increase your trade power in the node that province is in? Yes, provincial trade power scales with production development now, at a rate of 1/production development. For some reason that doesn't show in the tooltip when you're upgrading development, but it does if you mouse over the trade power in the bottom left. e: Actually I lie, it's 1/original production development, and 0.4 for every production development you add

Back To 99 posted:Haven't played this in a long time. If you enforce the union with France as England and inherit, do you become England-France with accepted cultures etc. or more like some kind of super England? You stay as England. Any cultures which make up more than 20% of your base tax* will become accepted. French cultures will not automatically become accepted if they don't meet that threshhold. (Scottish will once you form Great Britain, however, as GB is the union tag for the British culture group.) Note you can lower that 20% threshhold using ideas (humanist), various policies (humanist-diplomatic, humanist-plutocratic), and a few other things. *(This was true before Common Sense hit this week when base tax essentially changed to development; I assume it's based on 20% of development now but I don't know for sure.)

Saw them released in a different game, and once again they were in a PU under nobody. I imagine it's because they have a PU under Burgundy listed in history/diplomacy/Lowland_alliances.txt despite the fact they don't exist in 1444.

Mountaineer posted:I thought 100 authority meant you could push a reform through without votes. It used to work that way, didn't it? I don't remember it ever working like that. But the more IA you have, the bigger boost you get towards HRE members voting in favour of the reforms, to the point where you have to be hated for them to ever vote against. Seems very odd that they'd have to sit on 100 for any length of time without being able to pass a reform, really

A lot of the central american native powers still exist, but are blobbed around by British Mexico. I can't take on GB, but I can easily gobble up the central americans. The problem is a few of their territories are cut off from me, and after I annexed them they became a colonial nation, Cuzcan Mexico. They'll be colonial nations forever, UNLESS you get a land border, release them, then declare war and annex them. No other way, unfortunately.

^^ Use timg instead img tags, dudeRestRoomLiterature- posted:I've just bought CS and I have an understanding of most of the added concepts except development. How do provinces increase development say from 10 to 20? And is this affected by spending points to increase the raising of provinces from say 4dip to 5dip or whatever? Development is the sum total of base tax (adm), production (dip) and manpower (mil). Increasing them by spending points will raise the overall development, yes.

Baronjutter posted:Does the AI follow manpower rules as well? Is bleeding the enemy manpower down to the point that they can't build or reinforce armies a strategy that works? In most all my wars the enemy doom stacks always seem to just re-grow and it's always me that runs out first. You can check their manpower (+ army size) in the ledger to see how it's doing. They're real bad at managing attrition -- will sometimes siege with 20-stacks and stuff -- so it's definitely something you can work to your advantage. Takes practice, though.

Knuc U Kinte posted:So a friend sent me this screenshot of their game. They're in a war, as primary participant, with the PLC as their ally, but Hungary is is able to call them to war against the PLC. Is this a bug, or what? I haven;t been playing a lot lately and I can't remember if this is regular bullshit or something new. Shouldn't it be impossible for Hungary to call Sweden to war? Silesia was the aggressor, and called PLC in. Hungary was the defender. The defender will always auto-call their allies to war, regardless of any alliances on the other side. e: Oh durr I'm tired and misread ignore me. I imagine if he'd accepted he wouldn't actually have joined. I think this happens when Silesia declares, alliances on the defender's side are called first, but the prompt or something didn't actually arrive for whatever reason until after PLC had joined.

Whorelord posted:why does forming italy remove all my accepted cultures? All the Italian ones you had accepted? Because they're automatically accepted, Italy is the cultural union for all Italian (actually Latin) cultures. They all still give you the effects of being accepted, it's just how the game deals with that. If you meant other, non-Italian cultures, then uhh that sounds odd and potentially a bug

Bort Bortles posted:Has anything changed in the past couple months regarding revoking cores? If I conquer Kosovo (the gold province) from Serbia in one war, then go to war with them later, can I get Serbia to revoke its core on Kosovo? I want to do this so I can release Serbia as a vassal to hold on to all of that lovely Serbian land. Serbia is the primary tag for Serbian culture. Kosovo has Serbian culture. You can't force the main tag for a culture to revoke their core on a province of that same culture. So no, you can't do that. (If it was Bosnia, however, you could.) Your best bet would be to force vassalize instead of annexing them, I guess. You can do that in the same war as taking Kosovo I think?

I remember Arumba accidentally inheriting one of his client states outright (I think in his Commonwealth run?), even though they were a vassal, not a PU. Does sound just like RNG weirdness, plus I think they get a boost to inheriting outright if they're lucky (which Muscovy certainly will be and Sweden may very well be)

I found a bug a while ago that I never bothered reporting but, uh, you can actually use it for something pretty gamebreaking now. When you form a new country via decision, it removes all separatism from every province you own. So if you wait to form Russia until immediately after you conquer Danzig/Prague/Vienna, then press the button, you can immediately switch to Western tech too. Welp!

ZombieLenin posted:So, first time playing in maybe 3 months... totally different game. I'm so lost when it comes to deciding when , where and if to develop provinces. 1) When you're ahead of time in whatever type of tech and are still about to hit the points cap in that same type, plus don't have any ideas. Basically development is 2) Either wherever's cheapest or wherever it makes most sense. For production (diplo) that means whatever makes the most money via trade goods (gold > most new world/tropical stuff/copper > iron/salt > other stuff, roughly speaking). Don't go above 10 production for gold because otherwise you start getting a monthly chance that the production will get halved, to stop people just upgrading their gold mine endlessly. For base tax (admin) generally that means wherever you have a temple, although your capital gives a boost to it too so it'll be more valuable there than elsewhere. For manpower, wherever's dirt cheap, with goods of as little value as possible, and has a barracks. That's pretty min-maxy though, you can basically just mash buttons and still do fine. 3) Same as (1), I guess? Worth holding off on development (or only doing a little) if you're about to get a new tech level. Basically it's at the bottom of the pile for value. It's just a point sink for nations that hit the points cap often (which is basically the western tech group, and occasionally eastern/Ottos).

Is it worth breaking vassalization on Navarra, punching half of Aragon out of them, and then re-vassalizing in a second war, just to save a few hundred point integrating? I'm thinking no, but this is really annoying. It's a couple hundred dip points, the least valuable points. It's not a big deal.

Apparently you don't get exiled if you're in a country you have military access to when the war ends. That's.... illogical. Had to spend 3 months negotiating more access treaties just to get home, and rely on not being declared hostile (and thus refused access) by the country I just beat in the war

Dibujante posted:Have you occupied that province? You can't demand unoccupied provinces from someone who is junior to the person you're negotiating with (and since you can't negotiate with a PU/vassal, you are always affected by this in that case). Unfortunately, the explanatory text is flat-out wrong. If you occupy the province you can demand it. I fully occupied (except Faroes et al/Iceland) both Norway and Denmark. Still couldn't demand it.

With the massive AE penalty to taking Venetian provinces, I barely had enough time to add just those provinces to the empire before 1490 rolled around. The bit I really don't like about it is you have to take Rome, and eat all the poo poo that entails, in order to prevent everyone leaving. That seems pretty lovely imo. Take all the rest of the Papacy's provinces, sure, but when you have a nasty, stab-hit event and a nasty triggered modifier which will hit your chances of holding onto the imperial title? Ouch...

Another Person posted:Also, don't stackwipe an OPM unless you intend to siege them immediately. Hell, don't stackwipe in general is my feeling. When an army is stackwiped they get half of the manpower back of the men lost. They will use that to rebuild an army, and then pad the rest out with loan money mercs. Instead just let them shatter and retreat. The reinforcement costs won't be nice to them, and if you siege their only holding after they shatter they will have a hard time reinforcing quickly enough to be a threat. Once you have them sieged, then you wipe them. Otherwise they will keep coming back. The only time stackwiping benefits you is if you can carpet the enemy lands as soon as you wipe them, to prevent them raising more men. Otherwise they will keep coming back. Is this still true? There was a change in either 1.12 or one of the 1.13 betas talking about a change to manpower and stackwipes; has anyone checked how it works now?
