Are there any nations besides Luxembourg and Texas which allow for greater versions of normal powers (culturally) I.E. that give more accepted cultures than normal if they form their greater self, with a really lucky/well planned playthrough. (Like you can have a USA with accepted Mexican if after the disunited states event fires you reform the US as Texas or if Luxembourg manages to form Germany it has French as an accepted culture)?

You could try the Banat Republic or Transylvannia, which has, iirc, North German and Hungarian as accepted. Not sure what the Banat has, but I think it has accepteds with South German as primary. The Schleswigian states might let you form Germany with Danish or Scandinavian with North German. And you could always play Austria hard/easy mode - load out the Danubian Federation and then become SGF/Germany.

IIRC Bukovina is Romanian primary and Ukrainian secondary making über Romania, Silesia is Polish primary with Czech and either North or South German as accepted making über Poland. Malta is primary Maltese and can form Italy (done it, pretty fun).

WOT. How?!

WOT. How?!

I focused on getting soldiers, grabbed Wolof Gambia, got Gabuan Gambia, ate Tooro Senegal, used colonial armies to continue to grow in size, scored as much prestige as possible, sphered bits of Italy slowly.


Note, I did this in APD so it might not be possible anymore.


PS, wish I could have kept Maltese colour, it's awesome.

As the United States I have Canada, a dominion of the UK, in my sphere. I know that Canada won't apply for statehood so long as it's a vassal, and that there's an event chain that will let vassals who are in others' spheres free. What should I do to encourage this to happen? Is there anything I can do to speed it along?

Transylvania has Romanian primary with Hungarian and North German as accepted. Cyprus has Greek and Turkish. South Yemen and North Yemen have both Marishqi and Bedoiun accepted.

South Yemen and North Yemen

Do you mean Oman and Yemen or are there actually 3 Yemens?
Edit: I see, Zaydi and Yemen. Though I think the Arab union gets both of those anyway.

I should try Cyprus, to forma powerful Byzantine Empire on the ashes of the Ottoman Empire.

Anyway to remove the war restriction to forge CB ?

Britain started construction on the Suez canal while I was fighting a war with them to sphere Egypt...as you can imagine, I'm a bit miffed. I won the war, but now how do I take over construction? Will it happen automatically now that Egypt is in my sphere? Do I need to drive the UK bankrupt? What can I do, short of de-sphering Egypt and conquering Sinai directly?
