No, a subject is either a vassal, a march or a tributary.


It should be possible.

Yes, as long as they're Protestant or Reformed.

they are (the only?) exception. Subjects can't form other nations usually, as the requirement is usually 'independent'. Prussia subject can form from anything, as long as they have right religion and all other needed stuff.

Dunno if there is other exception.

Thanks. I'll continue on my european domination then. (Austria, Bohemia, Poland and Sweden as PU with Russia with a de Valois heir)

Probably been asked before, but what buildings are worth uh, building in trade company areas? I'm guessing just markets on centers of trade and estuaries and maybe a manufactory or two. That 75% autonomy really hurts.

Is there any way to play as a colonial nation other than by changing the start date or from a non-Ironman game?

There is an option in the diplomacy screen to release a colonial nation and if you check the box you will play as that nation

Depending on how your trade flows you might want to build as many manufactories as possible, since they increase the trade value in the node.

You probably have a higher chance of getting that question answered here.

Been thinking of finally trying out Vijayanagar, and from what I've gathered, you ought to rely somewhat heavily on mercenaries as them if you wish to expand. Since I've not really used mercs that much, are there any short tips to using them?

Yeah but you become independent which is not what I want.

Vijayanagar is rich, has good expansion opportunities, no manpower national ideas and a "+50% available mercenaries" finisher. It does make sense to use more mercenaries than normal especially when you combine it with the Administrative Idea Group.

You usually just use infantry mercs to replenish lost infantry after battles (consolidate your regular infantry). Use your manpower to build and reinforce cavalry and artillery. Get rid of the mercs when you don't longer need them (high manpower / at peace).

Be careful of coalitions on the Indian subcontinent. They can get quite large.

Is there a way to know (when you're not christian - more generally when you don't have access to the curia interface)
1) who is the papal controller and
2) when ends a call for crusade (I'm the target)
(I mean, except when you receive the message)

 

[superscunk]

I'm playing as Kongo and trying to get the Hoarder achievement (13 fetishist cults).
All Western African nations are/were Sunni.

If I release a nation in Western Africa with provinces that I converted to Fetishist and attack them after, will that give me their Fetishist cults?
Or do those provinces now count as my South African Fetishist cults since I converted them?

Is there an easy way to tell the minimum regiments required to siege before I invade a province with a fort?

Yep. (Fort level * 3) regiments

2) when ends a call for crusade (I'm the target)
(I mean, except when you receive the message)

1) Not really easily, the only way to tell is to look at the diplo actions they have available
2) It ends when cancelled, the current target is no longer eligible, or a new target is chosen, there is no end date

I am currently playing as Morocco, and have taken Ceuta off of Portugal. I am collecting at Sevilla (I have also moved the capital to Tangiers), but I have far more trade power at Safi. Should I collect in Safi as well as in Sevilla? Collect in Safi but not in Sevilla? Color me confused.

This last part is not true. 30 years. That's how long a single "call" for a Crusade lasts.

Hard to say without more detail, so you should probably just try it. There are penalties related to collecting outside the capital, and collecting IN the capital with a merchant isn't always worth it either. Steering from Safi to Sevilla is quite possibly more worthwhile, and you may even want to use the other to steer from another nearby feeder node.

Bottom line? Try, see how much money you get from trade with each move.

Alrighty, I think I'll fiddle with it and see what happens. Don't think I can reach as far as Alexandria, and am already present at Tunis, so I'll see what I can pull up from the African sites closer to me.
