British Imperial Conference doesnt make sense to me - question

[KopiG]

So I read that it is basically random that all members accept. I dont understand this. So you are telling me I have to play maybe 10 games to get all the members accept it if RNG fails me? So I start a game, let me reach that point in around 40-41 waste countless of hours while in the war already and then bumm my game is ruined and I have to restart? That doesnt make sense to me at all. Is there a way to guarantee that the conference succeeds?

If you chose the most expensive option(s?), accepted Indian Autonomy and every member of the Imperial Federation has at least 80 opinion of you, everyone will accept the Federation, letting you annex them.

 

[Saevynn]

More over, if you didn't complete "Indian Autonomy" focus or your relations with the Raj aren't good enough, you can still form the Imperial Federation. British Raj would, in that case, become independent.

 

[Bossman Zero]

For guaranteed join, it's 100 opinion if you ask, 90 opinion if you exert diplomatic pressure, and 80 opinion if you exert extensive diplomatic pressure. Otherwise, having good relations with your subjects and using the pressure options make it more likely they will accept.

And all bets are off if one of them is a player.

 

[Cpt.Cross]

Its all based on opinion except for the most important decision 'the imperial federation' which the Raj will only accept if Indian autonomy has been granted.

all the other decisions help boost opinion if they accept.

 

[Darth Howard]

More or less: save up PP, inprove relations with all, take most PP cost decisions, do Indian Autonomy. Then you need to lower your puppet autonomy. In my Iron Man/achievement run, I did not complete it until after the war. It is a long term game plan

Then you need to lower your puppet autonomy.

One of the cases where Lend-leasing the puppet convoys is handy. They're going to need some convoys anyway to haul the gear you're going to give them, the UK has a good ability to crank out ships, and ships are decently "expensive" in LL terms so they put a dent in autonomy. And you get them all back when you finally annex the puppet.

Another one that others have not said, is to return Newfoundland to Canada, as that helps Canada to be more friendly to you as well. And can easily be forgotten about when trying to get to the 80-ish oppinion needed.

It takes 1000 autonomy to lower by one level, and you get -3 autonomy ticking each day. It's easily doable by the end of the war without you actually doing anything, apart from clicking the "lower autonomy" button of course.

Thank you all guys for the reply. So having at least 80 opinion of me from them 100% guarantees that they all accept the Imperial Federation?

if you choose the most expensive options at the conference, yes
