Questions on EUIII

[nhytgbvfeco2]

indeed, its always bohemia doing it in my games or otherwise poland/lithuania, but not once have i seen austria do that

[SLN445]

one more for the "Bohemia doing it" though they dont get further then Georgia in my games.

[Akar]

Yeah it is usually Bohemia for me too, since Austria usually collapses due to invading Milan in most of my games :/.

Might be different for us as we all play with XKWP.

Do you need to have Iranian/Altaic primary culture to form the Mughal Empire? Eu3 wiki says so, but I am not convinced.

[firekiller]

How do you form a persional union (What are the conditions) ? Can you foce it, and how do you inherit another kingdom (what are the conditions).

Thx all

Do you need to have Iranian/Altaic primary culture to form the Mughal Empire? Eu3 wiki says so, but I am not convinced.

Yes you do. None of the Indian cultures can form it. They get the Hindustan decision instead. There's two variants of the Mughal decision, a standard one and a special horde version, both have that culture requirement. Both Persia and the Ottomans are also excluded from the decision.

If you want to see for yourself, go into the game directory, then decisions, then "MughalNation.txt".

How do you form a persional union (What are the conditions) ? Can you foce it, and how do you inherit another kingdom (what are the conditions).

There's two main ways to form a Union:

- Peaceful: If a nation has no heir and their monarch dies, it compares their Prestige to the Prestige of anyone who has a Royal Marriage with them. If the nation in question has higher prestige, they'll simply select a noble from a new house. If someone else has more prestige, but not quite enough, then the new monarch will be someone from their royal house. If someone else has a lot more prestige, they can form a union (or even inherit flat out, but that's rare). There can also be a succession war, but that's again, very rare. Using the "claim throne" action makes your house more likely to be selected over others, at the cost of a relations hit with everyone you share a marriage with. Ofcourse, if you claim their throne, then a new heir appears, you've gained nothing.

- War: There are three CBs that allow you to enforce a union in a peacedeal. Using the "Claim throne" action (which can be used on nations you have a RM with that either have an heir with a weak claim or no heir) grants you one. There's a spy action which can be used on a nation's capital, "Obscure Documents", which requires a nation to have low Legitimacy or have a regency for an heir with a weak claim, which produces a different CB. Finlly, there's a "Restoration" CB which lasts for a few years if you lose a union, allowing you to declare war and re-enforce it.

I figured I would try out a mod and decided upon MEIOU. Started out as England and I've reclaimed Northern France, vassalized Scotland, took half of Brittany(released Montfort), and conquered Ireland. I plan on attacking Dauphine again as soon as Ireland becomes more passive and/or I get rid of my excommunication. Is there anything either general about MEIOU or advice about England I should know about?

Is it normal for France to join the HRE, Bohemia to become a monster, Hungary become non-existant, and Franxe to be a monster all in the same game?

[Akar]

The last three, yes.

[Gone 2 the Celts]

oh yeah, Ireland is in the HRE, as well, as France owned Ireland, and then the Irish rebelled

[Pat89]

I thought you could only make border provinces part of the HRE? Ans since ireland is an island...

[IZob]

Your capital needs to be within the HRE, for the faction to be part of the HRE iirc.

[nhytgbvfeco2]

it is impossible for ireland to be in the HRE..

[Gone 2 the Celts]

I'm pretty sure Ireland is in the HRE, but I could be wrong

[Poach]

Unless you're playing a mod of some sort you are wrong. You need to share a land border with a HRE province to add said province to the HRE. The British Isles can never become a part of the Empire.

[Gone 2 the Celts]

My Scottish IN game:

France requonquered Ireland

[nhytgbvfeco2]

any territory owned by the emperor of the HRE will show as the light green HRE colour,, if it's part of the empire or not. try switching to france and releasing an irish minor and you'll see it isn't part of the HRE

[Gone 2 the Celts]

ohhhhh, okay

That's such a horribly ugly map - please go and buy Divine Wind for all our sakes.
