That sounds more like inheritance of other nations. This is normal and only wish it happened more in my games. :yes:

Agreed. Perhaps someone should mod it so that the BB hit is 0.1 for each...

@ The Celt - Did you start your game in 1453? If you did then you should have already been at war with Milan and in a position to easily make them a vassal. ;) Or did you purposely put the game...

I have never seen this happen. Interesting situation but it does make sense for them to do this. That BB hit is the worst I have heard of so far. Have fun with the inevitable BB war :thumbsup2

If you are wanting to learn how to play as a HRE state I recommend Mecklenburg as they start with the advantage of a CoT and with guidance can vassalise Brandenburg pretty quick. As HRE early game it...

@ Holo - Yeah it is meant to do that sometimes. I believe it has been implemented as to represent other nations consensus as to whether you are allowed that land "Legally". As the English I had to...

We all seem to have had a little break from MP games for a while. If one pops up in the near future then it will get posted here and I will tell you on MSN. :thumbsup2

Salamis and Platea deserve to be put on film at some point. The only downside to making these films is that it all ends up a bit political when it shouldn't.

They could make a film on the...

You never know if the Germans or French will have another crack or the Spaniards send another Armada. Better to be prepared than not. ;)

As a Yorkshireman I don't like having to spend my cash on anything "unnecessary" or "expensive" ;). Minting increases the cost of building and recruiting so if you can afford it then go for it. I...

Extremely high Inflation can be as problematic as high BB and so is therefore something to always try and control. Best way is to never mint from the start. However this can sometimes be problematic...

Due to him saying all that was needed. If you want my advice then you should forget about Europe. Calais and Gascone are more troublesome than they are worth. Your manpower will never match France...

Persistence can become a virtue in this situation. All you can do is send them gifts to get your relations back up to 190+ (what you need before a Diplo-annex is allowed). The ways of making it more...

What nation are you playing as? May I recommend Portugal as a solid starting nation. As long as you then focus on colonising and forget the Iberian peninsular you should learn the basics. Oh and read...

No you can't have one! :thumbsup2

What so you haven't already started a new campaign on IV? ;)
I have only played MM and I was wondering whether there is any point in trying ID?

It's been down for a few days now :(. I always have it open so I can alt tab out of the game for a quick look (When it's working :furious:).

If you want advice on sliders etc then ask here but...

If you have £100 (you know that is what the currency should have been no matter how unhistorical it should have been ;)) you can use a spy o make a claim on a province. Best bet is to have a Royal...

:thumbsdow :disgust: :torch: How dare you consider doing this Wallie!!! This is blasphemous! :P Nah I have done this once or twice but it does ruin the game if you start doing this too much. What I...

If you can it is always best to try and have all of your provinces with your state chosen religion. So I would use missionaries wisely and in the provinces that make you the most money first that are...

Best way to increase it is to entirely destroy each nation you are at war with before you negotiate a peace (If you aren't getting beat of course ;)). Leave them with no armies and no provinces.

Stab cost is affected too. The Higher the War Exhaustion the longer it will take to increase a level. Hover the cursor over the stab bar and you will see the exhaustion numbers.

One word with two syllables.
WELLIES!!!

I am what I have to write on application forms etc - British.

You can't and you won't ........Yet. If you were at war with Leinster (a one province nation) then the option to annex will be available once they are destroyed. The same will occur if you destroyed...

I am generalising on the populace of the West who these days consider it "Heroic" to score a penalty in the World Cup Final or a field goal at the Superbowl. Both are great achievements but are...

So you are telling me you don't have this game yet but Spam here for fun? :laughter:..........:thumbsup2

Oh and trust me if you get on a MP game with me and Fab we WILL be carving you up like a...

Giving gifts affects a different reputation. What you are talking about is the reputation between your nation and theirs. Bad Boys are the real problem as you could b friendly with every nation there...

Then had a shave before retreating back across the river so as to appear as presentable as possible. Yeah when your covered in blood and gore a shave will make a difference! That Piat gun he used was...

I am guessing you have seen JC's documentary on him then. Yeah this bloke was one of the most extraordinary men of British Military history. It isn't their feats that really amaze me but their core...

Well you also have the Aussies saying "G Day" and lopping off the "ood" simply to save those precious seconds to laze around on the beach doing what they do best.

*Sparks one up as he watches clip*.

Yeah this should really have gone into the Youtube and assorted videos section. Good find though. :thumbsup2

Best bet is Venice. You are powerful enough from the start (alliance with Sicily and Milan is an easy vassal to procure). Watch out for the Austrians and the French though.

Here is the Wiki on how...

I have to be honest I have only skimmed the thread so I don't know whether this has been said yet.

The ability for Knights to be either Mounted or Dismounted at your choice and needs for the...

A Venetian campaign I take it? Best advice for the early game is to vassalise without taking a province off Milan. You won't get any BB that way and when it comes to the Diplo-Annex then all you will...

Also the length of time they have been a vassal is helpful to diplo-annexation. The longer the better but after 30 years you won't gain any more advantage.

The way I play the game is to constantly...

I would guess that all of the people playing it would have to have the same carbon copy of the game. Just like having to have the same patch together.

:disgust:.......... Well I would recommend that you practice the game to learn how to play it (obviously :doh:) but personally I find it best to learn from having a challenge ahead of you. It sounds...

I recommend playing as the French first. If you take "Quest for the New World" as your first National Idea then you will get the full flavour of the game - Colonisation and large wars that you will...

:yes: Very much so.
