Another newbie question

[unmerged(9254)]

Sorry. I used the search but didn't find the answer.

1. I see the millitary alliances are "eternal". Every time I look an opponent country's alliances, they finish just in 10 years, but this happenes EVERY TIME I LOOK AT IT! What am I missing?

2. I want to make my first dipploannex. I have a vassal and more tha 10 years passed but I have no possibility to annex it (no highlighted option). I have a royal marriage and a permanent +190 relation with it. BUT, they belong to another military alliance (look at question 1)

Could you give me some help, please?
Thank you very much in advance.

Alliances are for ten years and get extended for another ten after every war or change in the alliance

2. Gotta have them in your alliance to diploannex.

If they are at war the alliance is always set to end 10 years after the current date, and it suffices that only one member of the alliance is at war. If you look at an alliance that is not at war the end date will not change everytime you look at it.

Alliances seem to rarely just expire. What is more likely that your potential vassal will decline to join an alliance war. If you're fast, immediately ask them to join your alliance (you are alliance head, right). You can set your pop-ups to let you know when any country quits an alliance for refusing to join a war.

I see.

Thank you very much to all.

No, you don't.

Yes, u do ... unless ur not on patch 1.05 ...

If you're not alliance head, it's even easier. Just leave your current alliance, bribe your way into your vassal's alliance, annex them, and then you're free to stay in that alliance or leave at will.

Or just make an off-hand comment and have an administrator change your title because it is "funny".

Do you have any pre-made funny comments for us?
This sounds like it happened to you? True?

If they're your vassal, they can't rejoin another alliance. So no need to hurry.

At my current rate of 2.10 posts/day, it'll take me a little less than three years to make 3000. The worst part is that I think I can actually make it. I'm hopeless.

Or play an MP game with one of the mods.

Are you sure? I got into my vassal's alliance and I cannot even try to annex it (no highlighted option). Must I wait for ten years more?

Only ten years from start, but you have to fulfill the other demands:

Same general religion(only those you could RM)

Target not in war.

Relations 190+


Also: About alliances, they are not extended by enlarging them, only by a member being at war.

Hmm. I've never managed to diplo annex when I was in a war. But there is no condition that the annexer be at peace?
