questions

1- how to increase legitimacy?

2-if i play say bohemia and am the emperor now, and i have 4 votes in my favor, and my king dies and his heir is a minor and needs a period of regency, does that still make my heir the new emperor?

3- regarding the trade node. when you first play the ottomans, they have a merchant in Constantinople and in Ragusa, the later one is forwarding trade, he's useless there right? if anything ,i should have him steer trade TO a node that i have territories in so i get more trade power when collecting trade in there, right? please enlighten me.

4- do the japanese factions have the same kinds of national ideas?

5- is it possible for example, if i play a country and it started with a idea group, can i change it?

6- this one is a suggestion if anything but: is it just me or should the countries that are not "western" should have 1 field mil/dip/adm] to level up normally while the other two have the handicap associated to their tech-culture? just so they don't fall behind hard

1 - Stability and royal marriage

3 - Yes

5 - No, you can't change

6 - In order not to fall behind, you can westernise for a cost enabling you to catch up

Selecting an idea group is permanent, so I guess it's not removable even if it was pre-selected for you.

A question of my own:
7) On winning a war, is it possible to demand that the loser becomes a vassal to one of your allies? If yes, does it still work if that ally is itself a vassal?

 

[underlordgc]

4 - It would appear so

7- Nope

Hover over diplo. power

3. The guy in Ragusa brings trade back upstream, though I think it would be better if he were in Crimea, which is upstream from Constantinople, forwarding trade to Constantinople where you can collect it

aha i see. thanks to everyone who answered the questions.

one more question though if i may:

the "improve relations" quests/missions that i get, i randomly fail them for some reason even though i have a diplomat improving relations with them

 

[BoleslavLev]

If I fabricate claims on more than 1 province, would I have all of them?

 

[soran]

ya, but claims last for a certain period, around 5 or so years
