Not in 1.8 there isn't. Box is gone, and is essentially treated as "checked by default." Defend your territory!

Edit: Question! If you construct a Royal Palace (only can be built in your capital), and then move your capital, what happens to the Royal Palace?

The problem I have with it isn't that war leaders will give away your territory in wars (you have to prioritise keeping your lands safe, or just not lose the war...), its that AI war leaders will now give you territory you really don't want. I.e. as Ottomans I am at war with Austria with France as war leader, my vassals siege an Austrian province in the middle of the HRE which France generously decides to give to me in the peace deal. This generates a huge amount of AE for capturing an HRE province, which pulls most of the HRE into a coalition against me. Its also hugely expensive to core because I don't have a claim, has the wrong religion (and high BT so long conversion time) and its in a terrible strategic position (i.e. in the middle of Austria who are never going to give me access). I tried to work around this in the next war by manually changing control of any provinces my vassals took to France, but still didn't solve the issue because the final province to be taken in the war was by one of my vassals and France peaced out before I could give them control (which meant I got another province in the middle of the HRE and even more AE).
It would be nice if there was an 'auto transfer control to war leader' option in wars, in large scale conflicts like this you are often joining purely to lend numbers for field battles - you don't want any land yourself.
Ah-hah. That does seem like an unintended (and unfortunate) consequence of them trying to get rid of the "Don't let a losing warleader give away your provinces" button. Seems like they should be able to incorporate a middle ground, to the tune of "Don't let a warleader give me provinces."
On the new game screen there will be little icons next to the bookmarks representing each activated DLC.
Like this:
No, the event should fire for Kongo, there is no event leading up to it where Portugal gets to decide whether or not to send missionaries. It's of course also possible that 1.8 broke it, but I don't see anything different in that event, so it seems unlikely. The mtth is 10 years, if that helps determine if it's taking unreasonably long or not.
I had to try that one, and it turns out it just stays where you built it.
To be fair, the checkbox didn't actually prevent them from giving you provinces either, so in that sense there isn't much lost.
Hate to quote myself but does anyone know the answer to this? Maybe it's worth a thread of its own.
The unit type probably won't change the outcome of any one-off battle, unless it's an extremely close-run thing. But if you use more 'defensive' units, battles will generally take longer and result in fewer casualties per day on both sides. This can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you like to fight your wars. Generally I find it's a good thing for infantry, as the AI is easily baited into attacking a small army, which you then have more time to reinforce. If instead you like to charge in and defeat the enemy in detail before they can assemble their doomstack, maybe offensive units are better.
With cavalry, offensive shock and offensive morale are where it's at - you want to use them to hammer the enemy, and as they're on the flanks, your cavalry tends not to take much damage.

Yes, any increases to colonial range do apply to coring range. I had to test it, but it works
Did you wait a month? When I last did it in 1.6 I think the palace eventually disappeared.
How does the 'Increase over time' tech research modifier works exactly?
Previously I thought it only went up if I had gone past the tech given date, but I still have it when I'm ahead time.

"Ahead of Time" represents you going past the tech's "default" date, at the clip of +10% per year ahead.
"Increase over time" represents the fact that the baseline cost of technologies inherently becomes more expensive over time.
Eh, yeah, you're right. I could have sworn I had let it tick an extra month, but apparently I didn't. So indeed, it does disappear after the next monthly tick
I wanted to compare the 2 Unittypes @Tech12, coz i dont know which i should use, because of the following.
The Tercio has more in def.shock, but less in off.shock and the shooter has the other way round.
So what i "understood" ( or not ) is:
A = Tercio Infantry
B = Free Shooter Infantry
Fire Phase = equal:
///
Shock Phase dmg is ( both at the same time ):
A 1dmg offshock + 2dmg defshock to B = 3
B 2dmg offshock + 1dmg defshockto A = 3
The Moral dmg is ( both at the same time ):
A 2dmg offmoral + 2dmg defmoral to B = 4
B 3dmg offmoral + 1dmg defmoral to A = 4
http://www.eu4wiki.com/Land_units#Unit_group.28s.29_with_greatest_infantry_pip_sum_at_any_tech_level
If Def stands for "block" then its the same 3-2=1 and 2-1=1
So overall they tied, if they attack at the same time each phase. off vs def
Because of this, i don't understand why there are 2 unit types, because for me they are equal or i missunderstood something. The one has higher off but less def,
and the other has less off but higher def.
Just wanted to know what Unit is better in compare, but for me both making the same dmg to each other each phase. The defense pip is a thing, but if one is making 2 off dmg, and the other 1 def dmg, and at the
same time 1 off dmg, and the other 2 def dmg, its the same for me. like my example on top of the post. 2 vs 1 and 1 vs 2, so there is a tie if you compare the Tercio and the Shooter unit.

I'm looking for a way to become a consitutional republic through an event or something. So the console ID for an event that makes you a constitutional republic.
Thanks for help in advance!

In this case Tercios are more defensive, and Free Shooters more offensive.
If both you and your enemy use Tercios, battles will proceed slowly (armies take longer to break and suffer fewer casualties per day).
If both you and your enemy use Free Shooters, battles will proceed quickly.
If one of you uses Tercios and the other Free Shooters, they pretty much cancel out and battles proceed at an average pace.
So no matter what your enemy chooses, you can choose to speed things up with Free Shooters, or slow things down with Tercios. The difference in either direction is fairly marginal, though, and this is just describing what will happen on average. For any given battle, it will probably be swamped by the randomness of dice rolls.
Yeah, it finally fired, it just took way longer than 10 years after Portugal discovered me. Frustrating when it happens with an event that is so integral to a specific country.
For the 'Poland can into space' achievement, can I take ideas, or will they prevent me completing the achievement?
