Hey need some advice on subjugating Scotland

[gman551]

I am trying to vassalize Scotland, but they are allied with Castille and Portugal. I disable Pirates bc I despise them.

Anyway I can easily beat Scotland but Castille just lands 40 regiments in England and game over man. How the heck do I deal with this? Is there any way I can just fight Scotland?


France ended up breaking up almost completely and only has like 3 provinces so thats why they arent allied with France

I think the only way to thwart AI allies to refuse call to arms like that is when you have a superior land and naval force than theirs combined.

Have you built to your naval force limit with at least 70% non-transport? Do that first so you have a chance to out number their naval force and send them down south to kill whatever that tries to go through. If you can't, you'd just have to wait till Castile is knee deep in a war so you can pick their navies apart when he splits em up for troop/invasion escort and homeland protection.

Ok

How do I tell what my naval force limit is? Actually what is my force limit?

How do I tell how many regiments I can reinforce?

Just got to build a stronger navy and stop them landing all together, 50 odd big ships is usually enough.

it was amazing last time Castille actually had 60. Then FRANCE JUMPED IN. Literally everyone jumped on my and i have no badboy at all

60 big ships or 60 ships all up?

If you haven't found that out do far.

How late in the game are you trying this? Scotland should be beaten within the first 5-10 years. Even if they are allied to Castille then, your fleet is much stronger.

As mentioned above, your main aim should be to beat their fleet. I doubt you could force scotland to go to war with you by attacking one of their allies... the AI isn't usually that stupid.
