So I've watched PU YouTube video and I'm still confused. I (Burgundy) am at peace, Savoy is at peace, Savoy has lower prestige than me, I'm the only Royal Marriage they have. This has been the case from 1498-1500 (so through two "phases" [if that's real]), yet I'm still getting "Nobe from House du Bourgogne succeeds to the throne" instead of PU. What else have I not checked?

Sounds like you and Savoy have a different dynasty.

Do "+1 to land leader shock / fire/ etc. " ideas also apply to generals that are recruited from estates?

They give a general, equal to 40 army tradition. Since I'm usually low on army tradition during the early game, I normally recruit via estates, and thus wonder, if taking ideas that give +1 does have any impact? Can't check it by myself, since I don't have appropriate saves at hand.

thx

Has the Ottoman AI been improved so that they won't declare war on Byzantium while you are besieging Constantinople and about to make them a vassal? I've tried like 20 times across several games and every time I don't declare war they attack BYZ immediately, every time I do they will spend decades fighting candar, fighting karaman, fighting albania, fighting serbia, fighting the knights, fighting venice, fighting wallachia, and so on.

I recall running into this issue. Are you full sieging down Constantinople and waiting or just leaving it technically under siege with a 1 stack on it? IIRC I was doing the former and in that situation, the Ottomans never declared. However, when I just left it technically under siege but never captured, they did declare.

I put 1k on constantinople and had my 8k stack walking back and forth between Athens and Morea in an infinite loop so that not a single province was controlled by me. Still no DoW by 1464.

Best I can come up with is that if I see Ottoman troops move to Edirne then they've definitely decided to DoW and I can try to rush them to Constantinople before they do. Unfortunately I think I need something like a 6 maneuver general to offload into Constantinople from ships in order to beat them.

Just declare on Ottos.

Hi

I have a question please. Do you guys know if the political dynasties bonus (plus 1 monarch points) applies to Venice, since the newly elected doge already receives one extra monarch point?

Just declare on Ottos.

If Ottos attack Byz and you vassalize Byz, it becomes a defensive war where you can call in all of your allies. In my case meaning France/Venice/Milan all march across Europe to stomp the Ottomans into dirt.

Yeah, true. Didn't read, thought you were Byz, sorry.

If you decrease tariffs on colonies will it affect the trade power you receive from them too?

No. You get half the trade power of colonial nations and I don't recall anything that affects this.

As a merchant republic I have big trouble to calculate which faction to favour.
How can one determine if the bonus of the traders or the guilds will give more benefit?
if trade power +10% and tax -5% is better than goods produced +10%..
you cant just add or subtract it from something to calculate the sum..
how do you deal with it, just by feeling?

Regarding mercenaries reinforcement costs: how is the exact calculation? Are „mercenary cost“ and „mercenary maintenance“ are used, or is it „land maintenance“?

Wiki says, that for mercenary maintenance „regiment cost“ is used instead of „mercenary cost“. So I wonder about mercenaries reinforcement costs.

EDIT: propably found the answer, seems like its the formula for regular troop reinforcement cost, but with "mercenary maintenance" instead of "land maintenance". "Mercenary cost" seems to be replaced by "regiment cost". Kind-of-ish.

Just became a republican dictatorship through the civil war event as England.
I've heard that you can become a constitutional monarchy, but how?? I'm confused.

I don't know if you are referring to an event, but basically as republic you can always turn into a monarchy again If you keep reelecting your ruler until your Republican tradition is below a certain number (maybe 40 or less), then your dictator will turn into a monarch with little legitimacy.

why i get half production value in aleppo than hüdavendigar?
and this must be a bug right? because every value in the provinces are same but still you dont get same money. if there is sth that affect the money we get then why is not it in the tooltip? whats the point of having tooltip if it doesnt show you the differences?

If you look at the "Trade" section at the bottom of the province view you'll see that Aleppo is producing about half the goods as compared to Hüdavendigar. The production tooltip will only show production efficiency modifiers and not goods produced modifiers. The tooltip on the goods produced number itself should have more information.

 

[mechanical_Critter]

maybe you have prosperity in hudavendigar but not aleppo?

edit: just complementing, production efficiency shows, but not goods produced modifiers. It can be a local modifier with prosperity.
