Playing as England and want to conquer the remaining French lands (about four provinces). Problem is that France is in a PU under Spain. It seems like I can declare war on France, which I wasn't too sure about. Just wondering do I have to kick Spain's ass in order to annex the French lands, since they are the senior partner in the PU, or is it enough to beat France to 100% warscore and eat them?

My plan was to concentrate against France in the north and use a defensive screen against Spain in the south.

Is this feasible?

I usually build my mints in provinces with at least 9 or 10 gold, but this is more a feeling than correct calculation...

When you have 20 or fewer provinces. -ish.

The PUs are just like vassalages. Need to conquer the senior in order to ask something from the junior.
In this game of yours, what is the status of Aragon ??

20 years.
common\defines.txt:

Code:

	7300 # _CDEF_NATIONAL_FOCUS_BASE_COOLDOWN_; Days until the national focus can be moved (multiplied with government adm efficiency)

(Not sure if the government's AE [the same number that affects policy slider moves] actually has effect.)

I play as France and own all the France and Italy ... any advice where to move my NF ?

**pevergreen** · 27-10-2011 23:20

Probably a northern italy province that borders a lot of others.

Sorry, I meant Castille in my earlier post btw, not Spain. So, France is in a PU under Castille.

Aragon is independent. What are you thinking? Ally with them against Castille?

**GoguRomania** · 27-10-2011 23:39

(Do you realize what happens if Castille inherits France

)? That will be a very very heavy thing to deal with)

Not, under any circumstances, ally with Aragon. They are an useless ally against Castille and you don't want to loose manpower in releasing their regions.
I was thinking in declare war on Aragon, ask them to cut any relations they have with Castille then integrate them in you Sphere of influence if possible. Make sure that Castille doesn't have Millitary Acces through their territory and after that just find and blockade their LARGEST fleet in one place, so they can't reach in France.

But i have some doubts against the Military Access mechanics as i have seen many times armies passing in countries that don't allowed them to do it ...
Also i suppose that Aragon is guaranteed or allied with Castille ... and I hope that Castille doesn't own any province from the Pirinees mountains

1. Anyone involved in a war that includes the HRE Emperor can pass through any province in the HRE freely.
2. Any country at war can pass through its allies' provinces freely (even if they are not in the war).

This is not correct. Religion does not matter. A catholic or protestant or reformed vassal will vote for their [christian] overlord even if the overlord is of different religion. If relations with the vassal drops too much, then their vote will go somewhere else (vassalage only adds 250 points to the rating).

Ok. I just remember seeing the tooltip say "-1000 Heretics will never be supported" or something like that, and that would seem to cancel out the vassalage bonus.

Force them to convert religions as part of suing for peace. Alternatively, apparently vassalizing works.

That negation doesn't appear when the nation is your vassal. It's almost entirely there to incite purges of heresy, which you're unlikely to do on a vassal. Or, at least, that's my interpretation of why the -1000 disappears.

I'm pretty sure there was one on the wiki, but I can't find it right now...

Perfect, thank you! And thanks to the others too, I love this thread. <3

**Cerbo** · 29-10-2011 20:29

This is more of a modding question, but how do I change the display name of a nation? I know that some things (like national adjectives) require altering the localization files, but what if I just want "Louisiana" to say "Armandiana"?

Also, would anyone else be really interested in a ""Quick modding questions / Quick modding answers" thread?
