Quick questions / Quick answers -- EU3

[generalolaf]

Maybe not a 'quick' question as such, but it only really needs a short answer.

Should I become Sunni as Oman (and how do I do that?), and if not, how do I get around the Ottoman DotF?

I can't comment on the former, but for the latter, you might consider taking Unam Sanctam so that you can get a Holy War CB against India's Hindus.

Alternatively, just wait until the Ottomans are at war with a couple of murderous Catholic blobs before trying to declare war on Sunni nations.

OK, thanks.

I'm playing as Milan and I am getting gold income from occupying Aquileia. Since I am not looking to annex more provinces (+0.75 infamy from 3 non-core HRE provinces), is there any point to work out a peace deal or can I keep occupying for decades? All her allies who joined the war were defeated. Do I get tax from occupied territories too, and how much?

I also want to get Urbino from Aquileia but it's occupied by friendly rebels whom I created before the war started. Is there any way to get Urbino now or do I have settle for peace now and take it in another war?

I haven't seen such information so far. The game tells you only how long it takes to the neighbouring province.

Ok, thanks for answering. I thought distance and time needed to travel would be basic info for warfare... Guess I will need to remember some of the time and distances between neighbouring provinces to get a general idea.

You'll auto white peace in three years if you've completely occupied the enemy territories. If the rebels are friendly (have your flag), just sit tight and they might defect. However, the AI won't negotiate with rebels if they're at war.

You get no tax from occupied territories.

Thanks for clarifying. I actually made peace and saw the gold income disappeared before I came to ask questions. Aquileia collapsed soon after peace deal (I took all of their money) and rebel-occupied Urbino (that was part of Aquileia) actually became part of Papal State after the collapse. Not sure how that worked. The rebels are Umbrian patriots, I think. They stayed in Romagna that they occupied after taking down Urbino.

[...]

you may want to conquer a Sunni province and place a missionary there with zero missionary maintenance... eventually Sunni religious rebels will spawn there and when they win the siege you can negotiate with them on the Religion tab and give in to their demands - thus become Sunni. however you will have to take a serious prestige AND legitimacy hit IIRC.

I have just started a game (grand campaign) as france (DW 5.1) and have a question about my vassals.

Will the cores I have in my vassals expire in 50 years, and if yes, how to I annex them before that happens?

Thanks in advance

Cores you have on provinces of your own culture group (French, in other words) will never expire. You don't have to worry about those. However, any cores on non-culture provinces will indeed vanish after 50 years. You can check by going to the province view and looking at the tool tip of the shields; it will say if the core will expire or not. France starts with cores on some Flemish provinces, including Antwerpen, and you do need to us these before 1449 or you'll lose them.



As far as your vassals go, there's no rush to annex them and their troops will come in handy meanwhile. You get missions for annexing some of them too, which give extra rewards for doing so - so best to wait for those missions to appear. Otherwise you have two options:

1. Warlike. Insult them down to below 100 relations, break your alliance, then break vassalage, then declare war. The only danger here is that in the obligatory 1-month gap between you breaking their vassalage and declaring war, they might have allied with someone powerful.

2. Peaceful. Get their relations up to over 190 and the option to annex them should appear. Your chance is improved if you have a high DIP king, a lot of countries in your Sphere of Influence, high prestige and low infamy. I think there's also a bonus for how long you've had them as vassals, which becomes significant after 30 years. You'll lose a point of stability when you annex them. Also, you can only annex one country every 10 years; but there's a slightly gamey way around that if you pause the game, then send out annex requests to up to five countries simultaneously.

Thanks!

Sry, wrong thread. Sorry

[xenon5]

Why cant I annex my vassal? our relationship is over 200, same religion, at peace, and I've had them for more than 10 years, but the demand annexation option is grayed out. When I scroll over the button, it just says "demand they become annexed by you" but does not tell me I'm missing any conditions :/

Hi.

What file do I edit to deactivate the HRE in a new campaign?

Have you annexed another vassal in the last 10 years?

[xenon5]

Nope, it's the only vassal I've had this game. I ended up just using the annex command

[EJG]

Does tolerating a culture effect assimilation of that culture to my nations main culture? Also what effect does having a province of a non-accepted culture have?

So, cannons speed up ASSAULT too, not only siege time? It is true?

The only other condition I can think of is that you have to be at peace.

Well I for one would use cannons against a walled fortress!

But yeah, they do. You also don't need as much of them as infantry for the same amount of damage (though you still fail the assault if all your infantry die).

Hi,

I'm playing my very first game of EU3: DW as France, so far so good.....except for my prestige, which keeps going down, and I don't understand why
