Merc reinforcements do not use manpower. They're magicked into existence. Go to the religion tab after pressing f1 or right clicking on a country or whatever. Then if you can freely change, the button in the top left will be orangey/gold. If not, you have to be converted by rebels. Nothing more to it. I rarely bother, the bonuses aren't earth shatteringly good. Certainly can't justify investing more than once. Iirc no, no stab hits for heirs dying in battle/sieges whatsoever. Could be wrong though. Obviously if they succeed (e: accede? Can't remember, tired, phone posting, whatever) to the throne then they will be at risk for stab hits.

Sheep posted:The tooltip is ambiguous, but if you become emperor are you able to re-increase your government level back to whatever the present cap is (based on development, obviously)? As in if you start with 1000 development, join HRE and drop to duchy, you should be able to get back to empire by pressing the button unless being a duchy is hardcoded for everyone but Bohemia and Austria. In which case that's really dumb. You're stuck as a duchy unless you're an elector, in which case you can be a kingdom. Nobody can be an emperor. Austria is, in fact, stuck at duchy (archduchy, in fact)

Baronjutter posted:So this custom AI in Sicily has carved out a vast north african empire, none of it distant overseas. This "Palermo" country now has most of southern Italy, it's home island of Sicily, and half of north africa all sitting at 0% automony. Has something gone wrong or if your capital is close enough to North Africa you can count both europe and africa as home/connected to capital? Correct, anything on another continent that is within a certain range of your capital does not count as distant overseas. However, provinces outside of that range -- even ones that connect to other provinces inside it -- will count as distant overseas, so there's a limit as to how far they can go before they hit the penalties. The wiki has that range as 150 units, which isn't enormous

Koramei posted:You'd have to get religious rebels to convert a bunch of your land. Not impossible but pretty tough, especially since your capital is over a straight and they'll never be able to cross that without getting blocked by a three thousand ships that constantly flow in and out of it. You could probably just take enough Sunni provinces that when they rise up and occupy one province, accepting their demands is available, and will convert you. You start with, what, 9? Taking 10 shouldn't be impossible. (Hopefully it's not based on development -- I'm actually not sure...)

It's not that actually, it's that you need to have one of their cores which is of their primary culture. Aquileia is Venetian, while Gorz is Austrian. (This is also why you can never resurrect the Livonian Order if they die, as they're Prussians without any Prussian land.) efb

The distant overseas autonomy cap makes the land garbage if you hold it yourself; CNs will be able to do enough with it to field a modest army and/or navy to help you out, while giving you a small amount of income in tariffs and a decent amount of trade power. Most appealing of all, you get a free merchant once your CN reaches 10 provinces. Just form them. E: note to self do not post when half asleep, uh yeah hold it yourself if you can get 0% autonomy. Make sure not to gently caress up your ordering of colonisation or anything and accidentally form one Allyn fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Aug 19, 2015 |

VDay posted:Going to double post but I just had one of my Catholic HRE vassals spawn a center of reformation seemingly without actually converting to Protestant. Is there an event that does that, or is that some kind of bug? It's been like two months since the reformation popped and so far only Sweden and England are Protestant nations. My vassal is still Catholic but his province has been flipped to Protestant and there's a center of reformation on it. I thought only the first three converted nations got those? Is there a chance that he somehow converted to Protestant and then immediately converted back? I have the event popups active for the reformation and got messages about Sweden and England but nothing mentioning my vassal. Here's a religious map of Europe at the time: The event which fires the reformation occurs randomly and does not forcibly convert you. Independent countries will (almost always) convert, but vassals won't.

Transmetropolitan posted:How do I break a country? Any province you occupy has your revolt risk, so their rebels aren't that likely to fire. Just get them up to 20 war exhaustion (you can see it on the war overview screen) and then peace out for whatever. Then they'll have to deal with all those provinces returning to them, with all the added WE unrest, on top of having no army. If they have the points to buy it down they'll do so, but whatever, not much you can do about that.

Add 2% from piety and, if you really wanna go the whole hog, 3% from Religious ideas and you can do just about anything in 2 years >.

I'm getting a CTD on 1 Sept 1624 every single time and I have no idea why happens with and without mods (in Ironman so even with mods the checksum's unchanged anyway). Anyone else gotten that far in and had any issues? I *think* an Ironman autosave tries to go off on that date, but not certain. (The previous savedate was certainly at 1 June before the first CTD, but I've manually saved on 1 July and played from there and still crashes on 1 Sept, even though that's only 2 months later.)

How much does income take off in the last 150 years? I've only reached the end once, and that was about CoP time. I'm 150 years from the end now, tech 22 about to come out, and I'm still 260 ducats/month away from Ideas Guy... and there's no trade route from the Ivory Coast to the New World, so I won't be able to chain that as you usually would with a European nation. I'm colonising 8 provinces at once (can probably stand to go up to 9 tbh) but it's not gonna be even close at the current rate. I'm the biggest country in the world so mass conquest of the rest of the colonised new world is on the way after I get imperialism CB in 2 techs time, but I'm still unsure whether it's gonna be enough

I have no idea what that number of cities modifier actually comes from; am I just too big, and bound to face a showdown in the near future? Cities is 10% for every 10 provinces you own, capped at 40%. The disaster's nasty (1 stab hit at start, +50% tech cost +50% idea cost, need 1 stab to take the decision to get out of it, decision costs 3 stab and 2 development in your capital) soooo sacrifice your loyalty, basically.

The change to the trade goods mapmode, so that it cross shades provinces where that trade good can appear, is brilliant... but it should only show on as-yet-uncolonised provinces, surely? Literally all of Western Europe and as far north as Stockholm is cross shaded when you click grain, despite already having trade goods, so it's not going to change (without an event anyway). Makes it a pain to look at
