First time EU player here. I'm Portugal, and have colonies in Ceuta and Tangiers. In both of them, I have no chance of converting their religion, mostly due to the "Provincial Tax Income" penalty, which is -90% for both of them since they're "Distant Overseas." Is there any possible way to convert the religion, thus allowing me to convert the culture? Am I doing something wrong, or do I have to wait for appropriate technology?

Thanks.

There is an idea that adds +2% missionary strength, there's an advisor that adds +2% missionary strength, stability can add 1.5% and various decisions can each add +1%. Try adding up all of these and then you should eventually have enough. An event might also give you "narrowminded" which gives +1% missionary strength as well.

Anyone got any good strategies for ending wars quickly? As Russia, my enemies seem to just avoid my large armies until they slowly die out of attrition.

What determines where you can send trade fleets? As france, I can't send one to Lubeck. Do you need either a merchant or a province in the trade zone?

Get a leader with some siege value and just take your wargoal, or use 2 armies and pin them down.

Yes, either a merchant or a province is needed to send a fleet. But you can cancel the merchant once your fleet arrives, not sure if thats a bug though.

How do i get rid off "Harsh time" event as Russia. It already passed a few years since started.

Is there a console command to get out of a war that I'm part of a coalition in (basically I can't negotiate a separate peace)?

The only reason I want to do this is because Austria just decided to give away ~8 of my provinces in the peace deal even though they weren't occupied by the enemy! I'll never join a coalition again.

There is a way to remove inward perfection without westernization?

There's a decision that changes your tag to Manchu and gets rids of inward perfection and the factions, but it's not usable until 1644.

 

[Shellshocked]

Yes there is, at least now:

It may have some Wastelands unmarked, and maybe some other small colouring error, since that is the base I'm using to work on a trade map, with routes, nodes, etc. and I made it just yesterday.

Thanks man you're awesome

If you mean "Time of Troubles" there is an event to end it but it will only fire if you have +3 stab and no provinces occupied by rebels. Between that being way too harsh (IMO) and the silliness that is having low war exhaustion making it more likely for you to have the original event fire, I've sidelined any playing of Russia until some patching happens.

Is there a way to get rid of inflation beside the master of the mint or some NIs? While the economics NI group is nice, I'm afraid I'll starve myself on admin points all the while I'm throwing my military points into mil buildings because my tech is so far ahead I'd go past 1k points. Playing as England btw.

Great, so i need 3 stability. Thanks a lot!

I took the Religious Idea and activate Unum Sanctum.
But it looks like without any function and still can't declare war
with a casus belli to other religious groups.
Or is it an understanding fault from my side?

You need a border with the heathen you want to fight to get the CB. And it only lasts until 1650.

Trade range and where your ships are. You have to move your ships close to that node and it will appear in the list.

Oh, ok. Thanks!

Me and my friend are playing some EU IV. Been playing for a bit. He's Uesugi, wiped out Japan, but he can't unite Japan even though he has all the territories, so he's stuck in his Government type. I found the event for Uniting Japan but don't know how to modify it to make it so the choice can come up for him. Does anyone know how to do that?

Apparently there's a bug that prevents you from becoming Japan if you don't use the War for the Emperor cb and annex Japan itself in the war. You could try looking up the event number for becoming Japan (it's in Japan.txt in the events folder) and then using console command "event [event number].
