Only three provinces?

[unmerged(6522)]

Isn't there a way to modify the data files that one could gain more than three provinces in a peace resolu, or it's hard coded?

It is datacoded, I think.
It isn't good, especially if you war against a huge country. But it is so.
But in EU2 it is changed a bit. Ask others about this, because I don't have the game yet.

Bad news: No, it's hard-coded.

Good news: In EU II, this limitation no longer exists.

But there is other limitations,You can´t annex a big country with many provinces at once ,You have to take it little by little.

No, in Eu2 you can take the entire country except the capital province in one go, then take the single remaining province next time.

 

[BiB]

Well unless they got more provs than the 99% max u can take.

 

[unmerged(5503)]

OK in two bite then,if You can.I know You couldn`t annex it at once.

I still Waiting for EU2 release in Sweden.

With a bit of luck your enemy's government falls while you control a lot of his provinces, then you get to keep the ones you control.
Hard to do willfully though.

There is a (almost cheat) way of doing this... Capture a province with a religion which you tolerate very little right next to your enemy's capital. Let it revolt, let the city fall. Then move in as rebels roam the countryside and capture province after province. When the rebels control enough provinces the government falls. I think it works for you to take rebel provinces, since this lowers the number of rebel controlled provinces, compared to those controlled by the opponent. If you do a good job in butchering his field army, rebels will usually prevail and since you capture all their provinces, you avoid the risks of a premature collapse and an automatic peace.

Tell me again, how is this almost a cheat?

If you can pull this one off, I'd say you've mastered this game to perfection.

Because it is based on a bug that is listed as to do for EU2

You mean it's in 1.02? Seriously - others mention it as a cheat, since it takes advantage of the AI never caring about the rebels on their home turf...

Did it first time as the Turks against the Persians, and told people how lucky I was... Then everybody told me it was the oldest trick in the book. I had a great time exploring it, though... I thought I was breaking new ground, so maybe I was, in fact...
