Is there still a way to obtain western units as a non western? Or are all land units now equal or what?
No way as far as I'm aware. There are some things such as forming Qing which change your unit type, but none for Western that I know of.

All land units are not exactly equal, they were made more equal so that non-Western can compete with Western.

Not as far as I know.

It varies through tech levels due the number of pips and how they are distributed but by and large the difference isn't enough to define a battle. In terms of infantry western only gets to be a shared first place in tech level 19 and gets to be in first alone from 28, though having multiple options means it isn't that much weaker than other unit groups. This is ignoring High American which is the best until Western catches up at 28.

Doesn't matter.
Play the game as usual and the next time he survives, write it down, if needed.

Just to give yourself an accurate image of the situation.

Heh, trained Dr. Mengeles.

No, I have not observed any abnormal behavior and I always pray for his life. Sometimes they live, sometimes they die.

Normal bias in your case.

I had very unlucky run in recent campaign.like I said -this event fired on me 3 times before 1560...two times lost great Piast:( so decided to savescum 3d time as I was getting tired of those 2-2-1 .but medicus or rather say butchers took my money and killed princess anyway.60times:)

If you're willing to save scum, why not just cheat yourself in a new god-heir?

That was just a test-I kept playing game after first outcome.Got some not very smart 1-3-2 but Pu over Hungary soon after :)

Playing out East for the first time in a while. After playing nice with the Ming for the first 50 years, they have decided that they hate my guts (probably because I'm the only eligible rival, being the premier Indochinese power). From what I understand, the AI is passive under the Celestial Empire government, but it's been too long for me to know for certain. Also, conquests have given me a Ming border. Should I worry?

I'm also worried about Malacca, on the other side of the country might pose a similar problem, as they're rapidly gobbling up their neighbors after some initial hiccups and might soon get the 'running out of people to rival' problem. I'd rather not lose them as an ally too (at least, for now), especially if it might trigger a two-front Malacca-Ming alliance (whereupon even if the Ming aren't aggressive, the Malayans might be and bring Ming in for a lot of pain.) Anything I can do aside from 'try and get enough favors to raise trust fast enough'?

Every time is the same for me. Also only good heirs get sick. Great game, but this bugs the hell out of me.

The game I'm playing now I have a 6 3 5 Ivan who inherited when he was 2 now he's 78 and he's had no issues at all. Been a general since he came of age, always leads armies. Going strong.

Does going revolutionary change your tag or only your flag and name? Basically I'm trying to figure out if you can still get achievements which require you to not to change tag if you become a revolutionary republic/empire.

Austria controlling the Low Countries around 1520s with 1.19. Burgundy gone. Trying to sort out the correct and up-to-date information regarding the Dutch Revolt. Is it enough to promote Dutch as an accepted culture in order to get embroiled in a mess with revolts or do I need to culture convert all the provinces with Dutch culture? Not going to move my capital since I feel that to be a silly idea and only going to play until I have reformed the HRE..

You need to culture convert or move your capital.

Imho, both ideas are equally crappy. Fully annex them and be done with it.

They don't spawn if the Netherlands don't exist.

It doesn't change your tag.
Thanks. I'm in the middle of a Three Mountains run and the bonuses seem very useful. The disaster will only last a month if I get some estate rebels to occupy my capital just before so the only down side which I can see is the cost of moving my capital to Europe and paying to get stability up.
