casus belli options

[raahoj]

Hi all and thx for reading my post.

When declaring war I get options like nationalism imperialism holy war etc. And 3 things are discribed. Agressive expansion, prestige and cost.

What is the effect of cost, because I know nationalism and imperialsim are good but is imp, better than holy war ?

When should I use which etc, im playing papal and only eu states?

thx for your time.

Cost refers to the warscore cost of some terms of the peace deal that are affected by the casus belli cost modifier. These terms might include taking provinces, conceding colonial regions, force converting religion, etc.

So for example, imperialism has 75% cost modifier, conquest has 100% and nationalism has 50%. So if a province has 10 worth of warscore, in the peace deal you will need 7.5 warscore to take it if you declared an imperialism war, 10 warscore if you declared a conquest war, and 5 warscore if you declared a nationalist war. However, if this province is not of your culture group, it will cost 10 warscore (the warscore reduction only applies to provinces of your culture group with nationalism)

If most of the provinces you want to conquer are of your culture group. you should use nationalism. If not, use imperialism. In general, after nationalism and imperialism become available, holy war becomes obsolete.
