I want to change the infamy added for a war goal to 0. Mainly, I want to see what would happen if the world just went berzerk. What line in cb_types to modify?

	INFAMY_ADD_TO_SPHERE = 2,
	INFAMY_RELEASE_PUPPET = 0.5,
	INFAMY_DISARMAMENT = 5,
	INFAMY_REPARATIONS = 5,
	INFAMY_TRANSFER_PROVINCES = 3,
	INFAMY_PRESTIGE = 2,
	INFAMY_CONCEDE = 1,
	INFAMY_STATUS_QUO = 0,
	INFAMY_ANNEX = 10,
	INFAMY_DEMAND_STATE = 5,

None of the lines in cb_types.txt, it can be found in defines.lua.

edit, also, any way to reduce a truce to 1 day?

Not to one day, but it can be reduced to one month:

BASE_TRUCE_MONTHS = 60

Also found in defines.lua.

Change what's written here to whatever you like.

...but that jingoism either increases MTTH (mean time to happen) ...

That would make it less common - don't you mean the opposite?

What is the best way to get clerks? I have tried prompting them with NFs but I am still not getting very many.

Rich and literate craftsmen. Also make sure your bureaucrats are not below par.

I've not played as Belgium, but I have played as the Netherlands. The Netherlands has a decision where it renounces all Dutch cores on Belgian territory; could you have triggered a similar decision for Belgium? If not, you should be able to take Dutch territories in mainland Europe, but not necessarily colonies with no infamy.

Belgium doesn't have any cores outside its own starting borders. You have to suck up the infamy (or get a lucky CB event) if you want to expand.

Thank you Tamius. I shall run a game overnight(s) with no infamy and almost no truce, and watch blobs of colours merge and split the next morning..

Ok, I am playing as Persia and there was a massive rebellion. My government type is... Presidential dictatorship I think, and the flag is Modern Iran's... but the nation name is still Persia. What/where is the file I need to edit to set it to change that name on the change?

Gotcha. I figured as much.

If I get a Casus Belli on a Dominion (Canada), but cannot interact with them diplomatically due to their status, how do I work around this?

Depends how much you want to cheat. Edit the save game to transfer ownership of a Canadian state to you or fight the UK for release puppet.

I'm not above it. I've never gotten a release puppet casus belli, should I just take the Infamy hit? It seems like it's much more acceptable to do that in V2 than in EU3.

You need to add a line to your choice of the localization files:

PER_presidential_dictatorship;Iran;Iran;Iran;;Iran ;;;;;;;;;x

Howcome when i declare war to "Establish Protectorate" it annexes the country when im done with the war. Or sometimes when you start a war trying to make a colony it annexes as well. Should it make a vassal? not completely Annex?

In a strictly historical sense, you're right. In a gameplay sense, you aren't. Establish Protectorate is used to annex uncivs (vs. civs) and "place in the sun" takes territory and makes it a colony. It's working as designed.

Im glad it happened, cause i didnt spend 20 infamy to get the land, i just was confused if it was broke or something,

How do rebels magicly spawn in more numbers then I could ever recruit soldiers with perfect morale and organization and better weapons then a nation could ever afford for their own military?

nah, it faith

Rebels can be from any pop type, while armies have to be soldiers.

Rebels can be from any pop type, while armies have to be soldiers.

I can tell you that I could if I had the money but most people, especially those being repressed to the point of armed revolt, could not afford military grade weapons... nor would they be able to get more organized then an professional army

[flame7926]

They shouldnt be more organized than a professional army, I can always beat them with even numbers.

[smeagolthevile]

I think my problem might also have something to do with my other problem.

My armies seemed to have an org rate of .0000001 they would sit around for years and never get their org out of their red. I had all but the last tech (great war experience) I was at peace... I dont know, none of my armies would get ANY organization.

Anyone know why this might be happening?


Also, on that rebel front... my nation has 3.5million people I have had, within two years, more then a million rebel soldiers pop up...



Lastly I have a question. Basically... what the heck is happening here? Nothing happens if I move troops into that spot, if I open it for them, if I completely surround them, if I surround them and put people on that spot, nothing.
