How do you inherit? Just by royal marriage? I have never inherited anything
Royal marriage, claim trone and form PU (waiting or just declaring war) or form PU with obscure documents, after forming the PU you must have a relation better than 100 with the subjet nation to have a change of inherit it, it happens when the monarch dies and you must be in peace when it happens or you won't inherit nothing.
D&T mod most recent update random luck no inflation(makes it easier for every nation)
I inherited a huge country in an AAR game of mine by simply royal marriage, then straight to inheritance - no Personal Union at all. Probably my luckiest moment in my entire EU3 career.
in one of my games I inherited Provence and got cores instantly as prussia.... I love the HRE sometimes..... then I activly destroy it later on in my games..
My first non-european empire, Historical lucky nations and normal difficulty since I'm still not entirely confident. Had a lucky break when I bordered with Sweden when colonising Siberia giving me western Tech. Other than that it was a matter of using reconquest CB against Ming and using my superior tech against their HUGE stacks.
"Zweden" Got attacked by castille norway riga, finland and denmark. So they fail right now. But im going to take over scandinavia in a couple of years.
I just posted this in the MMU Empire thread, but I might as well share it here:
So I hear Manga Mundi is an excellent mod that allows for realistic and balanced expansion and enjoyability. Well, I was curious. My computer lacks the capability to do much of anything so using this mod was testing the waters to see if my computer could handle mods. I used to play Manga Mundi a few years back and I remembered liking so it seemed like the logical choice to stress my computer. Five computer crashes later, and at least four saves being corrupted, I finished a fairly tame game as the Ouchi clan. At least on my part. I unified Japan, colonized Hokkaido, Kurils, Sakhalin, Taiwan, most of the vacant east indies, Hawaii, and conquered much of southeast Asia. I could have done more, but BB was always a concern and I got a few events that warned me that I was near something that could only be described as Divine Intervention. So a fairly mediocre Japan isn't something I wanted to showcase, it is the sheer insanity that consumed my game since it began. Let's start off with this fine picture:
This isn't much of a problem, so I couldn't care less. It was just the only screen shot I had over a state inheriting other states. Bohemia inherited a Kingdom of Munster which might as well have been the Netherlands, the Ottomans inherited the states of Algeria and the scattered remnants of the Golden Horde, Denmark inherited the entire Kalmar union but never once stepped into colonization and after losing a province never bothered to colonize it again (nor any other power), and the landlocked Bavaria, after kicking King Bohemia off the HRE seat, held that power from the 1600s till the end of the game inheriting a colonial Brittany and PUing the Kingdom of France for much of the game. So, as you can probably tell before I even go forward, this game will have its fair share of "oddities."
Take a long hard look at this picture. I didn't make full scale contact with the Europeans outside of learning of Portuguese Goa until I had unified Japan and was marching into the southeast. Basically, I didn't make contact with Europe until 1690, where shortly after that all the sea provinces were made known to me. I couldn't actually see any of the countries until I edited the game, my only real violation of the game that significantly altered gameplay. I didn't do that until the mid 1650s where I was tired of living in the dark. Then, and only then, did the true madness become known to me.
The archbishopric of Venice, owner of the vast province of Mexico, controller of the Papacy, seventh strongest nation in the world, and the fifth largest colonial power which was followed in quick succession by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Sicily, and, by the grace of god, the Holy Roman Empire headed by the Kingdom of Bavaria (formerly Brenton Colonials).
Bavaria lead a victorious charge into an Ottoman Empire that never really got off the ground. Barbary and Tartary distracted the Ottomans to the point where outside of crushing Hungary, they never expanded very well and near the end actually turned inward and collapsed. Oh, the Knights conquered Constantinople and held it for a few decades. Trebizond held out for centuries before being annexed, islamified, and became independent again. Spain almost conquered Portugal after it took most of Brazil, after that Portugal didn't colonize or expand pretty much anywhere which lead to Spain and the Netherlands colonizing regions that would normally be Portuguese. Because of the Ottomans, Russia never focused on breaching Sibir or the other Khanates. Its only after the Ottoman's fall that the Russians were able to race towards Siberia and made it (just barely) to the coast.
Cuba, based entirely in Florida, is American-English. Probably the most accurate of the colonial revolts after Canada.
Venice being a theocracy made Mexico a theocracy and Catholic, but because it never actually formed in the very stable Venetian province, the English got a Catholic Theocracy inside of a predominantly Protestant Monarchical region. At least they became English instead of Mestizo or Venetian, that would have been very bad for them.
And here's the world I've been keeping secret for so long. Notice how your eyes don't go to Japan for the first few seconds because you are too busy looking at the United States, the Kingdom of Cuba, the Great Confederation of Dixieland (Louisiana), the Dictatorship of Texas, the French Kingdom of Haiti, the Kingdom of Acadia (the piece that looks like it might be Canada, but isn't), The Beurocratic Federation of Canada, the Kingdom of Paraguay in what would be Brazil, the Kingdom of the Plant states, and a thoroughly Inca Colombia. Yes, Inca. Technically its capital is in the former lands of Quito. Quito actually came close to forming the Inca Empire in the late 1700s, but then the Netherlands and Spain thought that the native state had grown too powerful and attacked, leaving a much more disjointed Peru. Well, I also lied. The Kingdoms of Haiti and the Revolutionary Empire of Central America are more perfectly placed than Cuba. Then we look into Europe: An exceptionally powerful Netherlands, a Bavaria in all the wrong places, the King Minister of State von Habsburg, inheritor of the duchy of Oldenburg, a never formed Great Britain, Ireland untouched, The Jalayirids have expanded and are a stable monarchy, the Timurids fragmented but held firm, a powerful Bohemia, France looks like it collapsed (it did, but long before I showed up), An almost perfect balkan peninsula, Denmark rules Scandinavia, Arabia is independent, Russia just barely was able to squeak by the weak Sibir and Uzbek hordes, the Merchant Republic of Genoa is still a Merchant Republic and is still in Genoa (and its colonies), Finland is still around, Korea is powerful, the Mongol Khanate is part of the Ming and then, and only then, do you notice Japan is unified and is the strongest force outside of Europe.
Which leads me to ask just who is responsible for all this chaos?

Idiotic amator mod its the answer. If you add to game to many things, AI get stupid with to many option if they scripts are not such advance.
Manga Mundi is one of the greatest mods around for EU3 pre-DW. Most likely the main reason for all of this is that I chose the 1399 start date instead of the 1453, which is the recommended start date.Idiotic amator mod its the answer. If you add to game to many things, AI get stupid with to many option if they scripts are not such advance.

Did you just call MM an "idiotic amator (sic) mod"? (Which, by the way, is a bit rude in context. I just thought you should know for future reference, since you're not a native speaker)
How did this happen Magna Mundi usually turns out a lot better than that?
Hate to break it to you but Magna Mundi is the closest thing to a profesionally done mod ever, its to the point where they are releasing it as a full game soon.Idiotic amator mod its the answer. If you add to game to many things, AI get stupid with to many option if they scripts are not such advance.
which is why I'm not getting the mod.... I'm going to wait for the game... which will undoubtably be better.
Let's not feed the troll.
I'd advise everyone to try the Magna Mundi mod, its FREE for crying out loud.
