When force converting a nation while taking their current capital will the new capital instant convert? Or will no provincial conversion happen at all?
Click to expand...
The old capital will be converted.

Also when subjugating a nation that has taken exploration ideas will that nation opt to take expansion as well or will it not?

They are as likely to take expansion ideas as an independent nation.

When does the AI guarantee for somebody?
Can I do something to make the Ottos stop guaranteeing for a small nation, they dont attack anyways?
Click to expand...
Usually the AI stops guaranteeing a country when they don't share a border anymore. But that doesn't happen for guarantees which are present at the start of the game(e.g. the Ottoman guarantee of Ragusa). But there are three additional options which work in both cases:

  • attack when the Ottomans don't accept the call to arms(e.g. because they are in debt or occupied). That will not remove the guarantee, but if the nation is small, you can eat it in one war
  • attack when you are in a war which also involves the Ottomans. They can be on your side or against you. Both will prevent them from joining. That will also not remove the guarantee
  • when you are in a war against the Ottomans, make a peace deal in which you force them to annul all treaties with the guaranteed nation. Unfortunately that doesn't work the other way around, because the guaranteed nation can't annul the guarantee
 
1.
If I recall right, if a nation calls me into their war, my war-particitpation is calculated with how many of my men die.
But is determined, in which war they die?
Can I get called in by castille in France, but then I declare on Hungary and while I fight Hungary and siege all their forts and many men die, I get more and more favors from Castille?

2.
Can I provoke rebels to rise? (i cant decrease autonomy).
I have a province where rebels are at 90%. My Army is standing fully equipped before that province since TWO YEARS and the rebels dont rise...
 
as castille I want to conquer one province of fez and release him as vassal, naturally I´d like him to be catholic. what was the rule about the religon a released tag takes? something about the total dev of his cores and the religion in that right?

Yes, I think that's it. The religion making up the largest share of his total core dev (not what you release him from) will become his state religion. Why exactly you'd want him to be catholic I'm not entirely certain - he'd be far more stable and get fewer rebels when fed north African land if he's Sunni. The only situations in which I would consider force-converting a vassal like that is if I plan to integrate him soonish - in which case I'd probably still have to use my own missionaries to help him out, or if he's been given enough core land to field a substantial enough army to beat down his own revolts.

1. Pretty sure it's not about casualties, but about time*forces in battles and sieges of forts (carpet siegeing do not count) that determines it. As both battles and sieges would be separate for the wars, I don't think it'll translate like that.

2. Seems like an odd situation, to have it low enough that it doesn't trigger but high enough that it won't be suppressed down towards zero, which will happen if the province revoltrisk is non-positive. Either stop suppressing rebels (should increase it by enough that it triggers) or start doing so to make it slowly tick down. Sitting on top of a province with an army does suppress them, and at least previously the formula was -0.25/"full regiment" up to maximum of -5.

If I excommunicated a ruler and several years later I want to excommunicate somebody else, will the first one be de-excomm'd or will there be 2 excomm'd rulers at the same time?
Click to expand...

There can only be one active crusade, but there can be multiple excommunicated rulers. No need to lift any XCom to apply a new one.
 
Culture shift question here. Have not culture shifted since the mechanic changed whenever. I completed the Delhi achievement and for funsies thought I'd do the Punjab one. I have over 60% Punjab development and pretty much eradicated the primary culture of Hindavi. However, I see no way to culture shift to Punjab or make it the primary culture.

edit: okay..figured it out myself with a little google and playing around.

The Hindustani cultural union was preventing the culture shift since Punjabi is accepted under that union. So I did the very gamey thing of destating Punjabi and some other larger hindustani culture provinces so I could shift to Bengali, which is outside the hindstani union. Then state everything again and shift to Punjabi and formed Punjab.

Took all of 2 minutes to do that.

On the other hand, converting punjabi provinces took a few hours. Seems like if one guess through the effort of actually spreading the culture over 50% then one should be able to culture shift regardless of some union.

I literally could have done this a few hours ago in one minute by de-stating/stating in a matter of minutes.

That usually happens if you have loans and had a deficit recently. If you have a deficit currently it will say "Not possible to send gifts due to running a deficit while having loans". But I think it also considers if you had a deficit on average in the last year or something, but for that case the message is missing
 
when calling 2 allies to war for a promise of territory, but only giving one of them land will that still count as broken promises, making me unable to call allies to war that way for 30 years?

Also can i still get the Burgundian inheritance as Castille if Burgandy has rivalled me?

When landing my troops with ships on a siege (enemy is sieging my waterfront-fort) will I or the enemy get the landing-malus?
If I would cross a river, he would get the penalty because he is attacker, right?
Click to expand...
When doing the ship thing you do not get a malus malus but the enemy still gets the negative rolls for being the attacker on your fort.
