EUIV - Quick Questions / Quick Answers

Awesome. The 0/1/2 heir died, but I got a new one: 0/2/2.

Why is that? How can I such shitty heirs prevent from spawning? It would ruin my empire!

IRL that is just what happend. The safe way to get good rulers is to go republic. But then you have the trouble of having low republic tradition and can't royal marry.

Sadly monarch points are random

Really? I often had the feeling that rulers give kind of the same talents to their children.
Dont ottomans most of the time have very good rulers?
And in my game i had before a 5/6/5 ruler, who than had a child with 4/5/6.
I thought there was some reason behind it.

They have an event that allows them to pick from 3 possible heirs so they tend to have very good stats.

Also, if AI lucky nations is on, all lucky nations roll +1 on all monarch stats. Ottomans, of course, are a lucky nation.

So I created a client state with a few provinces and then later released it. It lost a war and not only lost some provinces but the cores as well. Is this WAD?

How do you take territory from New World nations? Do you have to go through the whole Build Spy Network/Fabricate Claim/Declare War mechanic, or is there a faster way?

There used to be a natives cb but this was removed so now you can fabricate within the same region as your colonial nations.

 

[Stefanos]

So, your first step has to be a colony? Can't start by taking out one of the MesoAmerican states?

This is incorrect-the fabrication that replaced the CB applies to all colonial regions, regardless of whether you have colonies or colonial nations in said region.

So, your first step has to be a colony? Can't start by taking out one of the MesoAmerican states?

If you have Exploration's finisher, you don't have to start with a colony. Otherwise, you'll need a colony in order to fabricate, as you'll have to be adjacent (by sea counts).

You only keep cores if the provinces are of your primary culture, don't you? Your former client state probably had your primary culture and the provinces in question as an accepted culture.

Territorial cores are lost when they are conquered. That is the most likely reason for it. There are of course multiple ways to lose cores.

 

[Threshold]

That's if the country disappears and reappears. Simply losing provinces in a war isn't enough to lose cores, unless they're only territorial.

Territorial cores are lost when they are conquered. That is the most likely reason for it. There are of course multiple ways to lose cores.

But the provinces he gave to the client state should have been state cores, shouldn't they have been?
Granted, if it lost a second war, it could have had the cores revoked in that war.

They were provinces in his capital state so they must have been fully cored. He lost them all after one war. There were other cores in the provinces and he lost the provinces to Macina as a Return Core part of the peace deal. The client state when formed adopts the culture of the capitol but the provinces he lost might not have been the same culture.

I'm playing an Aragon campaign to get the Consulate of the Sea achievement. I got the reverse IW and now have Castille under PU. If I form Spain does that disqualify me from the achievement? And if I do form Spain do I get a choice on whether to keep my NIs or not?

 

[tre3qwerty]

If I form Spain does that disqualify me from the achievement?

No it won't: the tag in this case is only checked at game start, as long as you satisfy the conditions at game start you can get the achievement even if you change tag:

happened = {
        owns = 101 #Genoa
        owns = 112 #Venice
        owns = 151 #Constantinople
        owns = 137 #Ragusa
        owns = 220 #Valencia
        owns = 317 #Bursa
        owns = 336 #Tlemcen
        owns = 341 #Tunis
        owns = 358 #Alexandria
    }

And if I do form Spain do I get a choice on whether to keep my NIs or not?

Yes, you get the "New Traditions and Ambitions" event, allowing you to choose to either take the new ideas or keep you old ones. This is true for every nation formation decision that allows you to get new ideas.

I'm doing a run as Adal trying to get the Golden Horn of Africa achievement, would it be possible for me to also get the Kushite Restoration achivement in the same run, by changing my main culture to Nubian?

achievement_kushite_restoration = {
id = 173

possible = {
NOT = { num_of_custom_nations = 1 }
normal_or_historical_nations = yes
normal_province_values = yes
ironman = yes
start_date = 1444.11.11
primary_culture = nubian
}

happened = {
egypt_region = {
type = all
country_or_vassal_holds = ROOT
}
}

Hey, as Netherlands I just had feudal monarchy forced upon me by pretenders, does that mean my dutch republic government is lost forever?

No. Your primary culture has to be Nubian when you start the game on 11 November 1444.

The wiki claims you can get it in 1581, but a cursory search of the event and decision files suggests that may only be for a revolter Netherlands at that date or later.
So the answer to your question is: Most likely yes.

Not getting the One Family to Rule Them All achievement. It's not the dynasty I started the game with. When I hover over my King it shows 7 other nations with the same dynasty. One is my March and another is a Vassal.
