It has 100% Religious Zeal preventing me from converting it.

Zeal only lasts a little while, in the meantime force convert in war will change someone's capital to your religion, that overcomes Zeal.

As France, trying to prevent the BI is a PITA. You could:

• Release vassals and feed them provinces so that you no longer have a direct border with Burgundy.
• Use wars to break Burgundy's PUs and take Burgundy's provinces that are not in the French region.
  
• Stay perpetually at war with the Holy Roman Emperor until 1500.
• Dismantle the Empire.

It's not that hard as France to get all the territory, become Emperor. It may involve fighting Austria to weaken them such that they lose the title. Release Styria gets you zero AE, but massively weakens Austria to the point you can probably steal the title pretty quickly, even if it involves vassalizing the electors, totally worth it.

Becoming Emperor is not a reliable way of getting all the territory.

It's bugging me a bit that Styria is smaller than it should be historically (it doesn't even have the "Steiermark" province, Steiermark being Styria) - but it's exactly the right size for gameplay purposes

In the banner on the top of the Province Interface, I get that the Province name is on the top left, the Area name is on the top right, and the Region name is on the bottom right; but what is signified by the name on the bottom left? Is it the capital city of the province? Does this have any importance for game purposes?

I could be wrong, but I think it's the true province name? The 'province name' one is localised depending on which country owns it, but even when it changes drastically the bottom left one seems to match with the names in eg. missions and decisions.

 

[grommile]

Yes, it is. For example, if you look at Ile-de-France you will see the name "Paris" in the lower left, and if you look at Yorkshire you will see the name "York".

I have noticed that when I was transporting my 5k units using cogs when my troops landed in my port I lost like 20 men from each regiment.
Total value of men was now 4.9k.
There was 0 attrition in cogs when transporting.
I moved this army to different port and man value was again lower ( 4.8k)
Why I have lost those units?

 

[Dominion]

Landing units don't get reinforced and eat attrition.

Becoming Emperor is not a reliable way of getting all the territory.

Well, it raises your chances quite a lot, but you are correct, nonetheless, Burgundy and Castile are normally rivaled, and Castile is the only one that can really put a screw in those plans. Still getting half of the land for free, and then fighting Castile for any reasonable player shouldn't be too hard.

 

[Threshold]

Is there any way i can stop Burgundian Inheritance event from triggering?I play France and i want all this land for myself

Why would you not want free land?
Just become Emperor. Then you get the Emperor's portion. Problem solved.

You don't have to form the HRE, and you don't have to stay Emperor. Consider it an early start on your client state.

Becoming Emperor is not a reliable way of getting all the territory.

You know, I never noticed until now that France is blocked from grabbing the RM portion even while being Emperor, because France is blocked from grabbing the RM portion at all, and it's a flag. So one has to either hope for a 10% roll, or prevent all HRE countries (of 4 or more cities) + Castile from forming an RM with Burgundy. Not impossible by any stretch of the imagination, but certainly more challenging.

Still getting half of the land for free, and then fighting Castile for any reasonable player shouldn't be too hard.

Indeed.

There is ALWAYS attrition when transporting units by boat if they are at sea at the end of a month.

in the province development interface all the various stats are colored with red, green and yellow. If you mouse over them they say very uninformative penalties, how do I find out whats applying said penalties?

heres a screenshot for clarification:

Doesn't make much sense to me that Cueta has less tax potential than the Azores....where is the details of whats hurting it?

You can click the province in question and hover over the tax income tooltip to see what's causing the penalties.

What stats do rebels gain from their supporting country when spawned via the Support Rebels spy action? For example, I, the Palatinate, support Protestant Rebels in Austria, and they spawn. Hovering over their combat stats, they inherit:

My Discipline
My Tech Morale without any bonuses

Do rebels you support gain anything else from your country, such as Infantry/Cavalry/Artillery Combat Ability, Reinforce Speed, etc.?

Does Guaranteeing prevent the Guaranteed nation from attacking the guaranteer?

(France is guaranteeing Papal state. When I now ally Papal state, will they deny to attack France?)

 

[Soulburger]

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

Yeah I was kinda of saving Otto game for actual WC. I'm not much of a blobber so was just trying to work on picking up pace on a Muscovy campaign and hit 1000 mark. I'm down to last 25 years and want to make sure I hit it.

Do I have to core all 1001 provinces or just own it? I may just go crazy OE at end if I can't end up coring/annexing everything by end date...

Also is this number the correct number for cored provinces (874)? Or does it also include subjects, colonies, etc?

Just repeating the question, because it may be overlooked on the previous page.

It does not prevent them to do anything. You can attack whoever is guaranteeing you without a diplo or modifier malus as an AI nation.
