Strange Nation Forming Combos.

[EU3NOOB]

You know how you can form different nations, like Castille to Spain and Brandenburg to Prussia to Germany? Well I've heard of some real strange ones, like Venice to Byzantium. What kind of ones can you come up with?


I'll start off:

England -> The Byzantine Empire:blink::wacko:.

You can do pretty much any of them if you culture shift.

I remember a screenshot where someone formed Hindustan as Aachen.

This. The only things you can't do are going from one cultural union state to another.

Yep, you can form any nation with any country except for a few exceptions. The cultural unions can't culture shift so therefore can't form other countries. Also a formed Holy Roman Empire can't form any countries. However, a cultural union can form the HRE and either can become the Papal States if they are a theocracy and the current Pope is annexed.

That would be be, sadly the screenshots are at my computer at home, so no access so far. I also formed Persia with Frankfurt and Malaya with Ulm. Tried a Ryukyu --> Italy game once but it got pretty tedious so I stopped.

It is my dream to form Spain as the Mongol Khanate.

Burgundy ---> Netherlands ---> Ireland ---> England ---> Malaya ---> Hindustan ---> Prussia ---> Germany ---> Holy Roman Empire ---> Papal States

Papal States---> Kingdom of God

How to change HRE into Papal States ?

 

[unmerged(297342)]

Change government type to a Theocracy.
Annex the Papal State, it pops up again in another Catholic Theocracy, rinse and repeat until that Catholic Theocracy is you.

 

[sprites]

you can by being a theocracy and destroying them
kingdom of god is a decision , not a tag change.

This is obvious. Why did not I figure it out by myself? Anyway thanks. In my next game I will go trough all this unifications

Mughals / Japan?

 

[sprites]

Japan is not formable except by a daymo , and JAP cannot culture change except using cheesy tricks.

If France were included, Germany couldn't be.

IIRC you'd also have to cut out Prussia as well. (Prussia cannot culture shift)

cultural_shift = {
potential = {
capital_scope = {
NOT = { culture = THIS }
}
NOT = { tag = FRA }
NOT = { tag = GBR }
NOT = { tag = SCA }
NOT = { tag = GER }
NOT = { tag = HRE }
NOT = { tag = PAP }
NOT = { tag = ITA }
NOT = { tag = SPA }
NOT = { tag = RUS }
NOT = { tag = BYZ }
NOT = { tag = PER }
NOT = { tag = KHA }
NOT = { tag = JAP }
NOT = { tag = MCH }
NOT = { tag = MNG }
NOT = { tag = PRU }
}

Prussia doesn't need to shift culture to form Germany though...

Burgundy ---> Netherlands ---> Ireland ---> England ---> Malaya ---> Hindustan ---> Prussia ---> Germany ---> Holy Roman Empire ---> Papal States

You can add Persia-->GB at the end of the list (probably)
