EUIV - Quick Questions / Quick Answers

I have researched the two colonial range ideas from exploration as Portugal. Have colonised Rio de Oro and Arguin, but still unable to send colonists to the Americas. WHY and how to overcome?

This is...not possible. You are within range of 2-4 South American provinces even without the 25% you gain from Portuguese ideas (although I do think it requires the 50% from Exploration). I know this for a fact because I frequently steal Portugal's territory from them, and thereby have sufficient range to land in SA with Exploration's 50%.

Now if your question is about colonizing North America and the Caribbean, then the answer is that you're going to have to 1) wait for diplo tech 7 or 2) establish a colony where you can reach, wait for it to become a city, and core it, in order to extend your colonial range sufficiently to reach your targets. (Another good option-and faster to boot-is stealing a province from the natives that is near your colony or adjacent to it, and coring that.)

In case you've overlooked it-you will have to recall the colonists you've sent to those colonies, in order to establish new ones. (The colonies will remain, and continue to grow.) A simple thing, perhaps, but I'm honestly not sure how you're having the problem you're having, so I'm looking at all possibilities.

What do you mean?
If hostile relations; I can't access their diplopage by clicking on their flag in the ledgerpage.

That's new to me-I wasn't aware clicking on the flag in ledger was ever disabled.

Haven't played vanilla in a while, but doesn't colonial range increase at tech 4 as well as 7? If he is still tech 3 he could be coming up short.

Good question, but no.
Tech 0 range is 60, tech 3 range is 100, total range is 160 * 1.5 for Exploration 2 = 240. (Or 160 * 1.75 = 280 if he's gotten Exploration 3 and hence Portuguese ideas 1.) The relevant Brazilian provinces are like 228 or something, from Madeira (not loading game to check), so if he's colonized further in that direction then I'm at a loss as to what the problem is.

For the Over A 1000 achievement does that include vassal's, colonies, and PU provinces?

No. You must own them directly.

Hey everyone. I am doing an Ottoman play through and every few years I will get an event "Treachery within the family". No matter which option I take, my heir dies and I get pretender rebels. What is causing this event and how can I get it to stop?

Thank you.

 

[Soulburger]

No. You must own them directly.

Thanks. I can bypass getting a PU over France and focus on blobbing elsewhere. That and start annexing some of my vassals asap.

Far and away the most straightforward path to that achievement is "Play the Ottomans. Take Administrative Ideas and never let your tempo slip."

That event is caused by having a consort and an adult heir when you have the Rights of Man DLC enabled and you have the Ottomans' unique government. In a campaign that is already under way, the only way to permanently prevent that event is to lose your unique government (e.g. by allowing the Noble estate disaster to happen).

I have suffered a plutocratic cup...how do I curtail it? Thanks! I am playing with Holland

You need to take the Curtail the Burghers decision. To take the decision you need to have their influence be below 60, have at least 1 stability and have no rebels or rebel-controlled provinces.
Enacting the decision will end the coup and will make you lose 3 stability and lose 1 base tax and 1 base production in the capital.

I am Portugal, allied with Aragon who has Quantity ideas and together we are fighting France.

France declared the war on Aragon, its an Excommunication-War for "hold Roussilon".

Aragon has no claims in France, I have claims in the complete Westcoast of France.

I occupied the provinces that I have claims on.

How likely is it, that Aragon, when they make the peace deal (we are winning), will make France cede me the procinves I have claims on?

Should I wait for them to make peace or can and should I make a seperate peace where I get the provinces?

It depends.

In general, the ai will always demand money and reparations along with the war goal first. Beyond that they will take land they have claims for themselves before giving allies any land. If there is sufficient ws remaining they will give allies land they have occupied and marked as province(s) of interest unless the ai nation in question also desires the province. Your best bet is to occupy everything yourself and only transfer the war goal then wait for them to make the peace deal, assuming you have marked provinces and Aragon doesn't want them as they will give you some and you don't take a trust hit. If they are occupying a lot of provinces they desire then you'll probably have to peace out separately and take the trust hit to get those provinces.

I'm currently playing the ottomans, and I just went to war with Serbia, Bosnia, and Bohemia. Hungary gave military access to Bosnia and conditional military access to Serbia and Bohemia. What I don't understand, however, is that Hungary also gave conditional military access to me and my vassals. The reason listed in the tooltip is because Hungary gave military access to Bosnia. Does granting military access to a country at war also automatically grant conditional military access to both sides of that war?

brifbates is mostly right (as usual) but I think they misread that this is a defensive war and so you do not have a war goal to take from France. Also, because it is a defensive war, the AE cost of taking provinces is higher than in an offensive war and the AI will take account of this when considering what to do in a peace deal.

Assuming you have the relevant DLC enabled, make sure you have not only claimed the provinces you are interested in but also marked them as being of "vital interest". In those circumstances, I would then expect Aragon to give you two or three provinces but probably not much more.

When I make a seperate peace my own colonial nations (who I would not have needed in a war, but they always declare unnessecary) get a relations-hit.
Does this decay completely or is it also a trust hit and can have bad consequences in the future?

As your rival, France wants to stop you from becoming the Russian overlord because they do not want to make you too powerful. They would be the aggressor so you would be able to call your allies and they may struggle to get their allies to join in but I know why it feels like trolling to you!

Do they actually get the relations hit or is it a UI bug showing you that they will take a hit but they don't actually get the hit? If there is a hit (to trust or relations or both) then it will decay over time.

What I meant is the peace-negotioations window. There is a thumbs down on their symbols when I look what Province I will take.

misread that this is a defensive war

How long will the truce be? This is the thing that is so kind of unfair. I was preparing myself to attack France with Aragon (and more allies), but then France declared first and now I will not be able to take the provinces I so long made claims for.

Assuming you have the relevant DLC enabled, make sure you have not only claimed the provinces you are interested in

No I dont have that one DLC. How will it turn out without it?

This is probably a UI bug. Your allies will take a relations hit (it would be a trust hit but you don't have the relevant DLC) that will decay but your subjects will not, at least as far as I recall.

How long will the truce be? This is the thing that is so kind of unfair. I was preparing myself to attack France with Aragon (and more allies), but then France declared first and now I will not be able to take the provinces I so long made claims for.

Truce lengths depend on the peace deal. A white peace is a five year truce. A 100% peace deal is a 15 year truce. It is a linear scale between the two. In your case, if Aragon just takes ducats and war reps then you would not get a very long truce, perhaps six or seven years. If they take more because they give you land then it will be longer but I guess that won't bother you.

No I dont have that one DLC. How will it turn out without it?

I only play with all DLC so I am not 100% sure how it works without them but, in this case, I think that if you have occupied the provinces in your name and have claims on them then the AI is likely to give them to you. Again, they will worry about the AE that you will get and so you may only get a few provinces.
