Quick Question about CB's

[Humanoid Typhoon]

I just started getting back into EU4 and I got myself into a hell of a mess declaring a no-CB war on someone outside coring range.

Was there any possible way I could have got a CB to get across and force vassalize these guys?

You can colonize an adjacent province and use whatever CB you can get from that. The province doesn't need to fully colonized, the colonist just has to get there.

Is that the only way? I didn't want to wait until I could unlock ideas to colonize next to them.

 

[bly08]

Can't take provinces with any other CB so either that or no-CB are the only options.

Ok thanks for your help.

No CB best CB anyway.

i have a similar question concerning Sunda. I have played them quite a bit and i wanted to see what strategies others were employing when I decided to read the wiki. According to the wiki, the best strategy for Sunda is to build a navy and immediately Invade 'Sulawei and Luwu.' my problem here is I can't find Sulawei on the map, there doesn't seem to be any way to get a CB on anyone but Majaphit because of distance. Is the wiki simply really outdated or am I missing something?

I'm pretty sure Sulawei is an area, not a Tag. it contains Makkasar, Lulu, Buton, and uncolonized land.

yeah i found it, either way, why do they recommend a strategy that is not executable. the only way to get CB on Makasar is by taking a province like Demak from Maja, then fabricate from there
