After enforcing a vassal's religion, giving them 100 liberty desire, how long does it last, or how fast does it tick down?

I remember it beineb 1% per year so it will take 100 years to disapear completly (50 for heresies) which sucks Big time!

nowadays I only enforce religon with vassals Inintend to feed beyond their ability to pay for all their forts, states and troops.
maybe they are rebelious but that way they cant afford a idependance war and evntually all the Land I gift to them reduces the liberty desire that much that I can placate them until they are loyal again.

I believe, the retreat is governed by the same rules as in land combat: for the first two weeks (two fire and two shock phases), you can't retreat out of a naval battle. There is something funky going on with the specific date when retreat becomes available, since it consistenty happens a day earlier than what the battle interface tells you in the top-left corner. So it's either 13 or 14 days, in fact.

There should be a wite flag on the top left corner of the battle interface which shows you the exact day you can retreat when you hover above it.

I think someone asked this before lately, but I cant find it:
As a merchant republic with already 20 state-provinces, can I have trade companies that get stated also, or does it count to that limit?

iirc you can't state trade company lands. But why would you state trade company land?

Playing as Cherokee. If I completely eliminate a colonial nation, will the mother nation be able to use a Reconquest CB on me? Or, assuming they have no cores of their own on the acquisitions, am I safe from angry European reprisal?

Does setting war objectives for AI allies work at all?

They cannot reconquest you because their (dead) nation will be the one with the cores.

It isn't totally broken if that's what you're asking. It works like 30% of the time would be my guess. It also depends heavily upon how strong your ally is (how afraid they are of the enemy) and how distant the province is that you are asking them to siege.

Under the current patch, Castile - upon completion of a mission - get a restoration of union CB on Portugal.

Question: is that permanent or does it expire - and if so, when?

Thanks.

The CB last for 20 years.

I should know the answer but I don't:

When you use the Holy War CB (from Deus Vult) against Nation A, and Nation B as their ally (or guaranteeing them) but is also a different religion, does the benefits of the CB apply to land and peace deals made with them?

Assume you're Castile. You use the CB on Morocco. Morocco (who is Suni) is allied to Tunis (who is also Suni). You have Holy War CBs with both of them, but Tunis comes into the war as Morocco's ally. If you peace out with Tunis first (standard practice), do you get the benefits of the CB?

Also, assume Mzab also comes into the war. They're (of course) a different religion, but you don't have land adjacent to them. If you peace out with them, does the Holy War CB apply?

Thanks.

If you mean seperate peace them, no. But that applies to all CB. Seperate peace is always the same as no-cb.

Hmmm ... thanks. I was kinda hoping it would be different with the Holy War CB because I have Holy War claims. In saying that, I realize it would make it a tad bit overpowered.

Thanks again.

Is the forming arabia a so-called "end-tag" or whatever it's called? I'm asking because I was wondering whether I could form arabia in my mamluks game and then culture shift and form Persia later?

According to the Wiki Arabia is in fact an end game tag so you will not be able to form Persia later.

Question: When I as Korea attack one of the Daimyos, will the Ashikaga Shogunate call its Daimyos? So, because Daimyo is a special kind of Vassal I guess they will have the whole bunch joining in? Thx

Yes! Usually you should only look at the loyal vassals since 50%+ liberty desire vassal will stand down in their lands unless you invade their territory, but there are a couple things to take into account here:
- navies are always loyal (for some reason) so you need to fight all of their navies
- Daimyos/shogun have a special mechanic that make them fight together if there is foreign aggression.

You are eligible to do the reverse, Persia isn't a late game tag, only Arabia is.

iirc you can't state trade company lands. But why would you state trade company land?

Maybe I ment it the other way round:
would it count as a state, if I have a trade company and the autonomy of the provinces ticks to zero.
or more easy said:
can a merchant republic without problems have a trade company and reap the benefits of it?

Thx for the quick response! So I guess I will not push that button Didn't consider that navy is always "loyal", thats a great hint thx!
