I am going for the "Poland into space" achievement at the moment. My general plan is to vassalize about everything for 200 years, and then become a OPM and trade a lot.

I have some questions, however. Should i choose a coastal province for that, or does it not matter? Probably getting a CoT in that city would be a smart idea, too.

Do vassals make problems if they are vassalized by a significantly smaller country?

Try to get venice or lomardia for that.

You really want to be coastal if you need to trade heavily; without a port you won't be able to trade outside of Europe IIRC.

Ok, a new problem just appeared. I seem to have some provinces which are in the HRE, but where i am the only person that has cores on them. I also am the emperor. I can not sell these to anyone else, right? So i seem wo have to unemperor myself and remove them from the empire, or is there another way?

If i stay at enough infamy, i should be able to lose the next election.

I wanna say that youuuu....-miiiight-, very slim possibility, be able to sell them to a nation outside the HRE. Other than that, you are correct in saying that no one will buy them.

 

[Simberto]

Nah, Lituania does not want them. So yay! Infamy!

This probably sounds like a stupid question but did you save -> reload after unifying Japan?

Given how long he's been on the forum I would hope so but otherwise that could be his problem.

Yes I did. Any other ideas?

Hi guys,

Anyone know where I can find the manual to the game?

For what expansion?

What is a "major country" as stated in the prerequisites?

What is a "major country" as stated in the prerequisites?

There is no such requirement. major = no is not a trigger; it means that it is not a major event which will be pop up for all countries when it fires (presmumably this was major = yes in some previous version or beta).

Wiki updated.

I just released Segu (in West Africa) as a 3 province vassal but don't get any badboy reduction. What could be the reason?

 

[Simberto]

Why can't i trade in alexandria, which is held by the mamluks, or astrakhan of the Golden Horde? I am christian, but not at war with them. And usually, if i can't trade somewhere, i can ask the owner to open his market, but in this case, i can't.

Ok, apparently, as soon as i became reformed, i could trade there. Could someone explain how exactly the whole thing works?

Cascading PU?

Hi,
I started a game as Bohemia and was able to get a PU on Poland.
Poland happens to still have a PU with Lithuania.

Can Poland still inherit Lith?
What would happen if I inherit Poland while they still have Lith in PU?
Other oddities I may not be aware of?

Thanks

Yea started up a game as Qara. Gonna change my capital to a persian province and change primary culture. Then form the nation. Shouldn't be too hard, Qara is decently endowed at the start.

Colonial conquest?

What do you mean? I already owned those provinces and then I released them as a vassal. I thought, you lose two infamy per province, but I didn't lose any.

On the game disc or whereever you bought the game online.

Why can't i trade in alexandria, which is held by the mamluks, or astrakhan of the Golden Horde? I am christian, but not at war with them. And usually, if i can't trade somewhere, i can ask the owner to open his market, but in this case, i can't.

Ok, apparently, as soon as i became reformed, i could trade there. Could someone explain how exactly the whole thing works?

Is Alexandria outside your trade range?
European powers can only trade through horde-owned CoTs after they've been defeated in battle since they can't "Open Market" because you can't send diplomats their way.

How do you form persia?

Remember to switch culture to Persian first. You won't be able to after you form Persia since it's a union nation.
