Do you plan on creating any special Client State ?

[Jack Harper]

Hey guys,

The client states mechanics is one of my favorite planned for the DLC, what do you think about it ?

Even if I assume that most of the client states you will create will be because you will need them on a special time or occasion depending on your situation, do you plan on roleplaying a little bit and creating a special client state ?

I would love to create a client state playing as Russia in Eastern Europe to try to contain the European powers, for the name and colors I still have no ideas.

I'm only creating this thread to discuss before the DLC is out, nothing really too serious. Let your imagination work

If I remember correctly the client states will have the same government as your nation, so, if it's possible:

Byzantium: create the Bizottoman empire, the Bizmluk empire, the Bizmurids... I think that my intention is pretty clear

Serious games: create buffers to contain the other powers

Poland's clients shall be named Can, Into, and Space.

You'll be able to choose whether your client states are monarchies or republics, and install your own dynasty in client monarchies if you yourself are a monarchy.

France as a client state as Castile/Spain? Take over the rest of the world, confident in the fact that France will whip the rest of Europe.

Wow, it'll be more interesting then! Thanks for the info

This is awesome. Installing your own dynasty like Napoléon did ! I assume that the religion of the client state will have to be the same as our state ?

What about ideas?
1- Will they have their own national ideas like colonies?
2- How will they choose idea groups?

 

[TomosCaerllion]

I'd probably partially revive dead states after they lose their cores. In my PLC->HRE game one of the frustrating things was it was impossible to split enemies apart without annexing, so I moved from trying to form a diplomatic bloc to forming a universal empire, all gobbling.

Things like Transylvania, fictional states like Transdanubia, the Kingdom of Anatolia, maybe things like Yugoslavia or Belgium.

Obviously, if I was playing (Rev.) France I'd go mad with creating republics on a semi-national basis until all of europe was aflame, waging a war of people against kings.

Client states will be my new favourite means of 'painting the map', making it real pretty and useful.

2- How will they choose idea groups?

1) Yes.
2) Off their own list, much like colonies (they pick mostly adm and mil ones).

Yes.

 

[lareman]

Create a client called Soviet Union as Russia, sell them all your land, then play as vassal

 

[blasteg]

European Union, I'll try if I can actually pull that off...

 

[Neobas]

As France/ Spain create a nation across the Pyrenees to make a buffer.

 

[Stategem161803]

I'd love to kill Portugal, make a client state called Poortugal, and bankrupt them.

 

[PedroVargas]

I usually tend to lag behind in dip tech and reaching lvl 22 is probably going to to take long. So not much cleint state building here I think.
But who knows, I might see yet unseen advantages and fun in creating new/old/fantasy states or unions and just do it every game

As of now, I'm neutral, more interested in the marches.

 

[Jack Harper]

Yes.

Seems legit, I'll be able to spread the true (Insert here) faith with my minions !

Thinking about it, I'll try to create client states in Italia with France, like the famous Roman Republic.

Ahah, not a bad idea, who would not want to bankrupt them after all ?

EDIT : Typo

 

[Victor Cortez]

As France take both Spain and Portugal. Then create Portugal instead of Spain and vice versa. Take pictures and upload them on the internet.
You know, just to confuse people.

 

[Leon_Aditzu]

Can we create client state in America? I will like to have client states instead of CN

 

[Puppets]

What is a client state? Seems I have missed a developer diary, does anyone have a link to it?

 

[Yorkie-GBR]

As France/ Spain create a nation across the Pyrenees to make a buffer.

And call it Navarra
