Did the conversion of Modena start after you removed the center of reformation(CoR)? That should not happen. But if it already started converting the province before the CoR was removed, it is possible that the converting for this province continues. But afterwards no provinces will be converted by CoR. Maybe restarting eu4 will even stop the conversion which is in progress.

Actually Modena was the last Protestant CoT. I conquered it from Ferrera (Protestant) and converted it, then sold it back to them. Then it started converting from a CoT which are none on the map. Also, most of Germany is also converting to Protestant now (I have already revoked so it doesnt matter) without it being any CoTs on the map that I can see. I have removed two protestant and one Reformed CoT by force and they are the only one that has appeared. I know it should spawn 3 of each religion but there are none on the map.

Edit / Nevermind. It seems my game bugged out. I restarted the game and now 3 new CoTs popped up on the map which make sense based on where the conversions have been taken place. Weird. But whatever, I already revoked as I said so no biggie. They where very easy to convert also since they wherent the first CoTs.

Just in case. CoT will appear for both Protestant and Reformed faiths, for a total of 6. In all my games in Europe all 6 have always spawned. As for Germany there are a lot of events, or at least events with a low period, that can convert provinces to Protestant, even if you kill all CoT. By the way if you already revoked in 1526, as you said it is not a big issue.
 
Has 1.30’s release date been officially announced yet? When did they say it will be out, December, early 2020?

I know you can’t know for sure but tbh I don’t want to look for that one post where that one dev from the team said early 2020 or whatever.
 
How the hell does one charter a trade company off an Indian state? I played games with Spain, Ottomans, Holland and Denmark while having this feature thus far and I have never been able to charter any Indian clay. Now playing as Byzantium and according to the trade window even 30K won't buy me one. Tried improving relationship, influencing, giving gifts, getting an alliance, etc. Nothing seems to work, only for a random African or European nation to buy the patch of land I want. So what's up with that?

As for any diplomatic action in EU4 the tooltip will say you the reasons why the AI will accept or reject your proposition. Basis rules for chater companies are to have a high diplo reputation, and to not buy provinces close to another province you already own. I routinely buy provinces in India (usually three: one in NW, one in S and one in NE) at lowest possible price using these rules.
 
I have allied the Ottomans and pulled them into a war. I'm also in the Religious League lead by a Protestant Austria. Ottomans have warned Austria. The league war fires. Will the Ottomans join the League war against Austria? Will I be kept out of it because I'm in a war with the Ottomans?

Who is the emperor? The warning will only have an impact if Austria attacks a country that borders the Ottomans.
And are any participants in your war members of any league? That might prevent you from joining the league war.
 
Guys, isn't it possible to get elected as HRE Emperor right after the protestant victory, if you are not part of the HRE? As a protestant Hungary, i was the protestant war leader, allied 2 of the 3 remaining (protestant) electors during the war, still didn't get elected. 2 province Brunswick got it who had only +20 opinion with the electors.
Right after, every remaining electors are supporting me...
Is it even possible to get elected?

It is, but you need to pay super close attention to all factors protestants will have, and you still have a hefty penalty to not being in the empire.

I missed something then, I guess. I thought the alliance and the +190 opinion would be enough. :( No problem, every newly assigned elector wants me as the new emperor, so I'll get it sooner or later. Thank you for your reply!
 
after ck2 and vic2, I wanted to buy EU4, but with the dlc´s it´s really not cheap. do you know where to get it on sale? i know that steam sometimes makes a sale, but actually it´s not on sale there

It seems to me that the end of the League War, if the Protestant side wins, the Emperor will always be one of the Protestant electors (or the one).

As said above, a warning will only trigger if Austria attacks, and a League War will always be started by the Protestant side, so it won't apply. And AFAIK there is no issue to be in two wars with the same ally (what is forbidden is to be in a war with a country and in another war against this country).

Your reply is confusing.
OP said that Austria is Protestant and leading the Protestant league. Austria is warned by the ottomans who are OPs ally in a war.
Based on game mechanics, Austria must trigger the religious war which can ould trigger the warning, but only if the current emperor also borders the ottomans (which should be unlikely unless ottomans have blobbed into Germany or an Italian is emperor).
However even if the ottomans border the emperor they should not be allowed to be called to arms against Austria because they already are at war together with OP.
OP as member of the Protestant league will instantly join the religious war without getting a CtA, the ottomans on the other side should get a defensive call to arms (or rather a event window or something) because this is how warnings work. But as already mentioned a nation can not join a War if an ally of a mutual war would be on the enemy side, which in this case would be the case. Also they can not join the war after OPs war ended because warnings work like guarantees, only one time at the declaration of an war.

Long talk short, no the ottomans should not join the religious league even if the warning would call them to war.
 
In one of my previous posts I asked you guys how to connect Poland to HRE before personal Union with Lithuania.
However, I tried in about 8 new games in ironman and still I am getting "Successor of Wladyslaw III" event before i can improve my relations to 190 with Austria.

So my question is:
Is it possible to join HRE as Poland in the newest version of EU4 (before personal union with Lithuania)?

When the event "Successor of Wladyslaw III" pops up, you don't have to chose an option immediately. You can leave the event open for four months. After four months and one day the event will automatically chose the first option. That gives you a little more time. And if you reload the game while the event is still open(or restart eu4 if you are in ironman), the timer will reset and you will have four months again. That way you can get enough time to improve your relations with Austria.
 
Does anyone know how long it will be until another major update to EUIV? I am asking because I want to play another full campaign, but I will hold off if there will be an update/DLC within a couple months.
