Changing Major to Minor

[unmerged(530)]

How do I change a Major into a Minor after I have began a game? Is it possible?

After a game as sweden where the dutchies of Moscow, Mazovia, Vienna and London somehowe were able to avoid my grubby hands claiming some past greatness I have decided to make HEI, KAL, MER, NUB, CHI, NIP the other major powers.. lets go unite europe..

I once played a GC game where HOL was a major power.. it didnt crash as expected.. and holland was a major power when it appeared.

Yanellis I suggest you just take every province and then save game then edit file and give yourself all the ottoman scum provinces, as if you had annexed a minor.

You can't change a major to a minor if you have begun the game, sad enough It ruined my Ottoman empire, I had the control of whole Asia, Africa and Europe....but those damned capitals where stil there, as thorns in my eye!!

------------------
But I must warn you. Time is short. Right now we have a breathing space. The thunder of cannons has stopped. Fighting has ceased. If we are to create an United European States, whatever name and form it will take, we must start now!

Yes, at the moment this is indeed the only way how it can be done. I suggest:
1. First proceed normally until Ottomans have only their capital province left.
2. Then edit the savegame with wordpad: Remove TUR (EVERYTHING referring to them, including alliances, merchants in cots etc.!) and then give Constantinople to Greece in both the 'owned' and 'controlled provinces' section of HEI. If You want, You may even move the Greek capital to Constantinople.

Don´t forget to copy this entry:

city = {
name = 'Constantinople'
population = 175539.796875
location = 357
shipyard = no
barrack = yes
bailiff = yes
cityrights = no
courthouse = no
fortress = { level = 2.000000 date = { year = 1520 month = june day = 1 } increase = no }
capital = yes
date = { year = 0 month = january day = 0 }
}

from the Tur to the HEI section before deleting the TUR section. Here Constantinople is already capital, so You have to delete capital=yes from Hellas.
