RGB: It was certainly easy money occupying all of Kazan and getting 50d. I'm not sure what income I got from pillaging - I'm not even clear how this works in EU3. Is it somewhat random?
valzoz_p94: I wondered about vassalizing them, but I didn't have 100% warscore, only about 43% or something since they had occupied some unfortified Russian provinces. I could have run round trying to get 100% and vassalizing but I was pretty sure the Russians would end up doing exactly the same after me, so what was the point? In fact it took the Russians 5 more months, but they did indeed strip Kazan down to one province and vassalized them.
stnylan: Quite! Although with relations at +200 I don't think MA through Russia was ever likely to be refused.
Lord E: Yes, owning a bunch of wrong culture wrong religion provinces cut off from my capital seemed like something I could live without. A shame - if only I had some Orthodox Ukrainian neighbours who were so defenceless!
Chief Ragusa: Hmm. No idea where the 50d came from. Ill-gotten gains I've no doubt. But I do like this feature of EU3 that you can always get at least 50d out of a peace treaty even if your enemy has nothing else worth taking!
J.Passepartout: Alas too late! The Tatars have now come under Yuriy's own protection... Still Ivan is a good military leader (8) so I'm not too upset about the change.
zytrexx: Apparently it's known in the trade as a "kinjal dance". As well as raising morale it also weeds out the clumsier elements of your army.
Duke of Wellington: Sad but true, but as I said, it was easy money.
Judas Maccabeus: You got it! Look forward to more pithy definitions from this invaluable resource!
