Whether this is a joke or not.. that's funny.

Totally new mission for Aragon..

Spoiler: images

 

[Sfan]

It was WAD, so we can't really say fixed. Paris, Augsburg, Venice and Roma were getting 100 support instantly.
This has been changed, then?

As for the mission with Gonder, it is in game since at least 2 years

 

[architoke]

I played as Aragon twice before and went for colonization.. and I see this for the first time
Still, that's pretty witty

My 33 year old prince-consort is cheating on my queen with my 84 year old advisor (who was a friend of my current queen's mother).

I'm not even mad, you go get some, lady.

Well I did some Research and it turns out that Cyril is not a female name at all.. And in fact its a mans name ! (Cyril (also Cyrillus or Cyryl) is a masculine given name. It is derived from the Greekname Κύριλλος (Kyrillos) meaning "Lordly, Masterful", which in turn derives from Greek κυριος (kyrios) "Lord" )

So your prince consort is cheating on his queen with a 84 year old man, Yeah I cant see this ending well for him at all.. Talk about a Scandal !

I probably I'd say that The Ulm is making strong alliance here .

To have Ulm as an ally is to have the might of every coalition of Europe as an ally.

Printing Press is also allowed to spawn in any province in the Germany region as far as I know - if you completely prevent the Reformation from happening, it will still spawn in a German province

You've piqued my interest. Ever managed to prevent the reformation?

I was capable of doing that in M&T on 1356 start, but hopefully it was delayed not prevented in all. I wanted to play as protestant united HRE, managed to unite country few years before historical event but instead accidentally managed to reform Catholic Church in terms of it's corruption.
Hopefully, Luther's event picked in late 1580s so I'm now capable to build what I planned...

Papal state, in the same alliance with Ottomans, are demolishing those damn Christians- Castile:

Not overwhelmingly weird, but still quirky -

Long live the... Portuguese Emperor?

An all natural Aragonese Iberian Union!

It's certainly possible if you are playing as The Papal State and get the events to disable three events that can fire for other Catholic countries that can give reform desire early enough.

At worst you push it back a ton.

Oh right. Then again, those events give decent bonuses for selling out the church iirc and, now that I think about it, aside fron role playing it's probably better to let it happen for that sweet 'cleansing of heresy' cb since you're going to be taking religious ideas anyeay.

EU4 could use a moral authority mechanic like CK2 really.

The question is why prevent it? It gives Deus Vult in europe and less competition for papal controller.

Bragging rights?

Easier reforms, better relations once you revoke, you don't have to convert any provinces you conquer in Europe.

Plenty of reasons really.

Mostly because since you can't convert your state religion you lack the final failsafe against CoRs conversions and annoying religious zeal provinces everywhere in europe when you expand there, I also feel like building the economy as much as possible fully extending your control on genoa/venice tradenodes before reformation strikes helps a lot against the inevitable corruption.
Plus everybody that was pleading for your alliance everytime, permanently keeping diplomats at improving relations (that also improves their relationship toward you) turns into heretic and hates your gut now.

Also less competition for papal controller is not inherently better: you are going to end with a few powerful super-catholics with tons of cardinals, not automatically better than cardinals spreaded among a bunch of mixed sized nations with some of them blocked from papal influence gains due to your own bullying/switching rivals/Statute of restraint in Appeals-Broken Tordesillas (if human players)/Excommunicated rulers etc...

That said deus vult on half of europe is obviously a winner.

 

[raikaria]

Because with the Papal state's awful tolerance of Heretics; and the 30 year lockoput from conversion, the reformation can be very; very painful to the Papal States.

And while it's like a 8 times divider for a reformation centre to choose a province of Italian culture; you can bet when you are playing the Pope; it will happen to you.

Also Deus Vult in Europe dosen't matter much because the strongest Reformation is in the North; while you are South. You'd have to push through half the HRE just to use Deus Vult.

And without Royal Marriages; having a ton of heresy around really limits your alliance options.

AI Switzerland is guaranteed switching reformed asap and gaining a reformation center that makes lots of nearby reformend land (and your own too, sadly) if you don't prehemptively kill them (that could also be a problem if you want the swiss guard event).
