Yxklyx: Yes.
You mean: An enemy army is besieging one of your or your allies/vassals provinces, and you put a boatload of troops into the port? Then yes, they get a terrain bonus just as if you were attacker. It's possible, but I'm not positive, that you also have a penalty of sort of 'river crossing' from attacking from the sea, but I don't see anything on the wiki to support this, it might be something I've imagined.

This chart on the wiki says I can get to Noble Republic from Empire for 4 Stability. But the game says no. How would I get from Empire to Noble Republic?

If you land your army by disembarking quickly at one of your ports does the defender get a defensive bonus in the ensuing battle?

I'm not 100% sure, but IIRC you can suffer from terrain bonus for the defender as well as that they get the bonus against a amphibious landing. If the army that enters through the harbour is big enough, even a small force that's already fighting your target may get a malus as well (Your combined armies that is)

question

how to you change the text from the country ideas?

 

[unmerged(225264)]

Is there a difference between an Archbishopric and a Monastic State? (F.e. Cologne and Teutonic Order). It seems both are a Theocracy, but how come they have different names?

 

[Me_]

There is no difference. Different names are just a flavour thing.

You need Gov tech 10

You are right. However if you control the port and you disembarked by putting your ships into harbour then you don't get the amphibious landing penalty.

question

how to you change the text from the country ideas?

In your EUIII/localisation folder open text.csv (notepad or notepad ++ is the best option)

somwhere in there are the national ideas text. e.g. :

[Yxklyx]

Is there a way to determine how long an army's or navy's trip will take? Say moving ships from Lisbon to Ceylon? The mouseover only tells me how long it will take to move to the next area.

How does a landlocked province with no connection provinces/ports to your Capital function? Can a connection be made using Military Access through another country?

 

[hairlessOrphan]

You need Gov tech 10

I have Gov 10. Are there any other requirements? The game doesn't specify.

No.

The game isn't supposed to show government types that you can't go to... Um...

I don't know, maybe you currently have a regency council?

 

[RJA]

Playing France, what is the best way to annex your vassals? For example I get the mission to annex Orleans. Is the ony way I can do that by diplo-annexing? Playing HttT.

Nope, you can get it by annexing them through war.

To get the mission you must diplo-annex.

The best way is to cancel vassalisation and declare war.

edit: semi-emued

 

[RJA]

Yes but declaring war while they are still my vassal means -3 stability. And I tried to cancell the vassalisation, but that ended the mission.
Anyway what is the best target for France in the beginning? Playing Grand Campaign. I'm new to the game.

Nope. I do have four wars, a lot of vassals, and one personal union going on, though. Would any of that bar the way to a Noble Republic?

They must've fixed that exploit in HTTT, then.

A good target for France is the German minors. Just make sure you can take on the Emperor, first.

Republics can't have PU's.

 

[hairlessOrphan]

Republics can't have PU's.

Ah! I thought PU's were under the same limitations as Royal Marriages, so Noble Republics could squeeze them in. Too bad! Absolute Monarchy or bust.

hi

how can i add decisions to an created nation(by me)

I added the decision in the decisions folder and registrated it in the text.cvs but nothing...

 

[highsis]

I just signed an automatic white peace after 14 years of war. What's the length of non-fighting period I sign white peace automatically?
