Prussia to Germany

[unmerged(170135)]

If I form Prussia can I then turn around and form Germany. And if I do will I keep the Prussian Military Reforms Decision? Also does Germany have any special decisions they can make?

 

[Kapt Torbjorn]

Yes you can, as long as you enact the decision before forming Germany. I don't know if Germany has any decisions to enact, I'll check.

edit: No it doesn't.

Thanks

but forming Germany gives you +1 base tax in every province.

And free cores on like 50 provinces, including the Sudetenland and Austria. Anschluss, anyone?

I'm currently trying to form Germany with Bavaria. Yet, whenever I declare war, my allies always end up taking the provences!

Whenever I sue for peace, *they* get the land...

 

[Cow]

That's because you took the land they captured...

 

[unmerged(200028)]

I know it is fair. Though, is there a way to "request" for them not to partake in *my* war?

EDIT: As they always have the option of "getting there first" and if you are trying to conquer a specific region, than having to fight your allies is a pain in the butt.

 

[Kapt Torbjorn]

Cancel the alliance before declaring war.

The only time I've painted neat borders in this game, even selling good provinces, was in my Brandenburg<Prussia<Germany game. So fun to add Silesia, the Grand Duchy of Posen and West Prussia. I'm sure the real reason wars are fought is simply to make one's nation an appealing shape.

Amen!

Honestly that is the reason I fight wars as odd as it sounds. If I were playing Scicily, I only want its historical borders. Same with Germany.

To the OP: Sorry for sort of dominating your thread. :wacko:

You don't need to cancel your alliances, though.
Just move your troops around the targets you want to grab in the treaty via asking for military access around you before getting the war started.

but forming Germany gives you +1 base tax in every province.

In 1 province.

 

[Darth Moose]

In 1 province.

The code is confusing though:
GER = {
german_region = {
add_core = GER
base_tax = 1
}
}

It looks like all German region provinces should get an increase. In other similar decisions, it explicitly states either the capital or a single random province.

I guess I can find out in about 3 game years...

The German Nation event does give a +1 Tax (it is the only nation forming that does so) in all German region provinces whether you own them or not. Add in the cores and you can quickly become a behemoth.

 

[Trin Tragula]

GER = {
german_region = {
add_core = GER
base_tax = 1
}
}
It looks like all German region provinces should get an increase.

That is how I would expect that code to behave, it's certainly the way it works for cores...
Someone who has tested the event would probably be able to tell us.
