Puzzled

[Edelward]

I play on Inca, was attacked by Portugal and England - over colonies .
The English army was retreating (into my territory) and finally get to my native province without fort they immediately became masters of it and even after I destroyed their army and took back province it didn't became mine and my army didn't have any option (all grey)to siege it back or whatever.
With white piece it went to them
Cute...

So how that could be ?

They seized a province. You can do this to pagan settlements (except their capital) and colonies before they hit 1000 in their population. For pagans they are always at risk of having their provinces seized no matter how high their population.

Here is a tip - Don't play as pagans.

No I re-loaded from before war and it was full-developed core province -I even recruited regiments there.
One thing Incas have is gold -lots of gold, but to develop them technologicaly is nigh impossible

Perhaps you misunderstood William. The thing is 'pagan' provinces may be annexed immediately after capture. This is determined by the text file religion.txt in Europa Universalis III\Common.

pagan = {
	animism = {
		color = { 0.5 0.0 0.0 }
		province = {
			stability_cost = 10
			local_missionary_cost = -0.5
		}
		country = {
			missionary_placement_chance = 0.5
		}
		annex = yes
	}
	shamanism = {
		color = { 0.5 0.3 0.3 }
		province = {
			stability_cost = 10
			local_missionary_cost = -0.5
		}
		country = {
			missionary_placement_chance = 0.5
		}
		annex = yes		
	}
}

You can supposedly remove this effect by removing "annex = yes" from this code.
Hopefully you'll soon get the "westernisation" event. Having benevolently allied the Creek Indians in my Spain campaign they got the event. They are now researching a the same rate as European nations. Their land military technology level was on par with most European nations within years!

I see...
I've changed to Lubeck-Meklenburg
btw Pomeranians were pagans in Crusader Kings and I've played a mod where you can play on non-christian factions -I tried Lithuanians -I wonder can man export a former pagan nation from mod into EU2

I forgot the event #, but you can type it in manually and makes your country "westernized". This should get rid of the paganism, and allow you to better comepete with the europeans. As i am not at my computer right now, just try looking the even up in the.....i think native americans section of txt files. Good luck, -Leon
