Whenever I attack and start a siege, I always use an entire army stack (Normally 12 or 14 units) and assault all the time, as soon as I can. Is that good or bad? Or should I detach a smaller siege and actually have patience and wait it out?

Well, this is getting really funny, u won't believe it but I can prove it. I just got a fourth FREE!!!! CoT in Cape Verde.
is 999999 the max population a province can have because venice has had that for decades and it's only 1600 it seems lame if it can't ever grow anymore

Are achievements working for anyone with the 5.1 patch? I want to know if it is necessary to reinstall the entire game or not.


Is it a good idea to leave the HRE?
I'm playing as Austria and have lots of little vassals dotted about the German lands. But I don't want to incur the infamy hit for unlawful HRE territory when I start to annex them all, which I learnt to my cost after performing a diplo-annex of Aquilea. At the moment it says I will lose those Aquilea lands if I leave the HRE now. But they only have a few more years to go before I get cores on them, so would I be okay to leave the HRE then, before going on to annex my other vassals in Germany?
Or is it just a bad idea to leave the HRE?
If you're strong enough to look after yourself, and especially if you're a Monarchy and have a German primary culture (so can still play the marriage game), leaving the HRE can certainly make sense.

I have 3 questions.
1. What are the % odds of getting a monarch with 7 or higher administrative skill?
2. How does the Imperial Liberation Casus Belle work in DW 5.1? I took two provinces from Poland and got insta cores on them. Does that always happen or only when taking HRE land from countries that arent in the empire?
3. How does sound toll work? Do i get more trade income or are my trade goods worth more? Both?


Can someone explain how personal unions work? Do you have to marry, then claim their throne when they have weak legitimacy, then declare war with the claim throne CB, then force a personal union? Or can it just happen naturally when you have a royal marriage alone?
Only when taking HRE land from countries that aren't in the Empire.
It raises the Trade Value of every province you own, increasing both your Production income and the value your provinces contribute to the CoTs their goods are shipped to.3. How does sound toll work? Do i get more trade income or are my trade goods worth more? Both?

Both ways work. If you have a royal marriage and they dont have an heir you might naturally form a PU with them when their king dies. You could also force a PU though royal marriage, claim throne then war when they have no heir or a weak heir. If they get an heir mid war you can still force a PU.
Nice! Ive got two more questions if you dont mind.
1. Is moving your capital to a naval supplies producing province profitable? Im going to have to move my capital anyway to switch to Swedish culture so it wont be too much trouble for me to do so. Ive heard that you can get a huge bonus in the value of naval supplies if you do that and build 20 big ships/ admiralty.
2. Were in Scandinavia is the best place to build a COT?

Not as good as i originally thought . Does it only boost the value of naval supplies in the capital or is it nation wide?
I am the Emperor! Danish Holy Roman Emperor with all of Scandinavia under my flag! I fear no man!
Seriously though i dont have a core on Lubeck and taking it would hurt my standing with the electors and give me constant BB for 50 years. It would also hurt my ability to trade by a lot. I dont think its worth taking at this time.


Can I still get the Prussian Military Reforms after forming Germany?

If your hitting your support limits and have the cash then replace them. They cost the same as a modern ship and will not be as handy in a fight. Barques are fine as they just sit in port to deter pirates but big ships are meant to fight so you should probably scrap them.
If you don't have the cash/ports to replace them quickly just use them to blockade.
