Noob eu3 player. I want to play as Minamoto and Unite Japan, i think have the basics down (Personal unions, claim thrones, sending gifts etc) but how long does it actually take? I read that some people can quickly unite Japan by 1425. I had a demand tribute fperosnal union with Taria and at 1467 im still waiting to inheirt their lands. It still says i have a personal union with them so i don't think they betrayed me.
Inheritance depends somewhat on luck. All you can do is try and keep conditions favorable for it to happen when your ruler dies (high prestige, low infamy, both nations at peace, positive relations). Sometimes the ruler will keel over and die a week after forming a union and you inherit, other times unions will last 300+ years without an inheritance occurring.
For more details/discussions you can search for inheritance and/or PUs. Its a pretty regular topic of discussion around these parts...
Thank you, its been a while since I had to do that!
And since I have XP I don't need to delete the compatibility files.
I'm an Ottoblob sprawling from Arkhangelsk to Baluchistan.
Why am I not getting any advisor spawns?
Why am I not getting any advisor spawns?
Advisor option set to something other than normal/random? Are you running 5.1 or a beta patch?
Current 5.2 beta, normal advisors. In all the time I was in the Ottoman tech group (1399-early 1500s), I don't think I had a single advisor in the pool that wasn't either born in a country I'd subsequently conquered, or born from my meagre supply of cultural tradition.
Playing as Japan Empire. Goal to colonize all southern islands including Australia and then the west coast Americas:

My q: due to lot of hate&fight around, HR Emperor became Ansbach, an OPM. I was playing as Cleves and conquered this OP emperor and.. HRE disappeared? But I was stuck with "Unlawful province" modifier for the regular time. It's a bug? All electors were alive, still many members etc., I don't quite get it.
Who else was able to become HRE? It sounds as though, if Ansbach is HRE, there was only 1 candidate (for example, if all the electors are protestant, and Ansbach is the only protestant non-vassal monarchy) to rule the HRE. I've heard of multiple things happening, such as the HRE disbanding, but it may just be as a regency. Try converting someone.
That's only a guess, by the way.

It was regular Bohemia/Austria until Montenegro broke the ice oO, then Ansbach. The other candidates at the moment were Bohemia and Austria, where Bohemia was catholic, Austria protestant and electors mixed. What I don't understand is why HRE disbanded basically when I've conquered Ansbach? I would've expected to switch to Bohemia for instance? And yes, last "emperor" is regency. But my main issue is I was stuck with unlawful modifier without the possibility of leaving HRE.
I was Empire of Japan with a fleet of 84 ships (carracks, cogs and galleys) an explorer was the leader. I had an army of 22 with a conquistador leader boarded and was heading towards current day California. However i only found 3 new sea spots before my entire fleet was lost at sea? How can such a massive fleet be lost in just a month or two?
Attrition in open seas, especially in earlier years will slaughter every ship in a fleet. Pay attention to the damage your ships take every month and every time they reach a different open sea province. Every single ship in a fleet will take that damage so cogs and carracks alike will sink unless you make the journeys short and, preferably, in coastal zones.
Thank you. Another quick question:
What is an easy-to-install mod that extends the end date? (preferably quite a bit). I have 5.1 Divine Wind. Even if the mod just extends the date and thats it.
When i say easy mod, i mean like just download and run the file and it installs. Not copy/pasting all different things into different folders.
edit: Also, is it possible to colonize Australia? If so, the whole thing? Or only parts of it?

extending the end date: just go to EU3/common/defines.txt and edit the end date that's right at the top of the file. You can edit it with a basic text editr like Notepad or notepad++.
The East and West coast of Australia can be colonised. The rest is, rightfully so, just wasteland which was avoided during this timeframe.
Emperors being annexed/vassilized sometimes disbands the empire. When France vassilized the emperor Wuttenburg in my last game the HRE was over aswell. Perhaps the surrender of the emperor instead of death is such a blow that the concept loses value? It happens more often sadly.
Someone said earlier that it only happens when there is noone to vote for. Could someone expand ont this? Aslong as there are 1 more protestant or catholic nation around this should not be a problem. And the emperor can always be someone outside of the empire aswell. I just can't see this happening.
Mod is MEIOU if anyone asks.
I just entered my first ever EU3 succession war, over the throne of Aragon.
I am Provence, and Aragon sided with me when their king died. They were allied with the Castillian monster (North Africa), so this is a big help. However, since this is my first time, what do I need to do to win the throne and have a PU with Aragon? Force a PU with Ethiopia? Have them concede defeat?

You need to demand the PU with the War Leader. In this case, you need to defeat Ethiopia who has, for whatever reason, backed the opposition to Aragon's throne and demand the PU. You'll need to gain a large amount of warscore against a distant foe...
Note that demanding hte PU against Ethiopia will make you have a PU with Aragon, not Ethiopia, although the popup messages can sometimes get quite strange in this situation.
