It says 1.4 has no ironman, but I thought that you could do ironman and get achievements up to that patch level right?

Which patch was directly before The Cossacks?

I think you may be confusing 1.4 and 1.14.
Cossacks was 1.14. Patch before it was 1.13.2.

edit: back in the day, you could get achievements on 1.4 when it was the latest patch; now you can only get achievements when playing 1.6.2 and beyond

edit: oops

How do I disable that stupid "coloured wastelands" feature? I can't seem to find it in the in-game options menus or in settings.txt and I am sick of Nenets being Muscovite beige and thus looking clickable.

EDIT: Found it. For some incomprehensible reason it's in the per-game options menu rather than the main options menu.

Question about dismantling the HRE.

Do I need to have all the electors and the emperor in a single war? Or could I for example start a war against the emporer and say 2-3 electors, siege all their land and then start an additional 2-3 wars against the electors who aren't on my side nor on his?

I don't think they all need to be in a single war, but there's the slight complication - unless they've revisited this decision - that you can't declare war on imperial princes while you're at war with the emperor.

You can do it with an additional war, but you can't declare directly on anyone in the HRE if you are already at war with the Emperor.

So to make sure I don't fuck up my ironman save. Say I manage to get all the electors in a war apart from one, can I then declare on his ally (as long as it isn't a member of the HRE) and then siege his capital and dismantle the HRE?

Exactly.

You don't need to occupy all of the capitals though. Any electors that are allied to you, even if they do not join your wars, would count and so you would only need to occupy the remaining electors' capitals and the Emperor's capital.

Have not into colonizing yet in 1.16. But seem to be not minor oversights. Any other experiences with this, in particular the edit2? If this is true would be worth a bug personally.

I dont know, a moment later it worked fine, though it was longer than a month tick. And in between i did change it to a full core and than a territiorial core. After that all other nations i could offer it too

I am playing as Aragon and the Iberian Wedding event just fired. I am confused by the wording of the event consequences: it says my ruler would be the head of the union, would this mean that Castille would be the junior partner in the union? Many thanks

Are you playing with a mod? In the base game the event will not fire if Aragon is player controlled so it looks like your mod has changed that.

 

[Zelyhn]

Thanks for your reply!

I am not playing with a mod. My game type is ironman, with all but the last expansion.

I do not know if this is relevant, but Castille is under a regency council.

In that case they've changed the event in 1.16 so you will need to look at the event code to work out what they've done. Certainly from your screenshot it looks like Aragon will be the senior partner in the union. If you know how to find the event code in the game files and can post it here then people can tell you what they've changed. I'm not near my PC at the moment so can't look myself.

 

[Zelyhn]

I do not know how to look at event codes, I could have tried though, but I took the gamble instead. I am satisfied with the outcome

Thank you once more for your help!

Seems like Aragon is now eligible to get the Iberian wedding too.

trigger = {
        NOT = { exists = SPA }
        OR = {
            AND = {
                tag = CAS
                NOT = { war_with = ARA }
                ARA = {
                    exists = yes
                    ai = yes
                    was_player = no
                    is_subject = no
                    is_neighbor_of = ROOT
                }
            }
            AND = {
                tag = ARA
                NOT = { war_with = CAS }
                ai = no
                CAS = {
                    exists = yes
                    ai = yes
                    was_player = no
                    is_subject = no
                    is_neighbor_of = ROOT
                }
            }
        }
        is_year = 1450
        NOT = { is_year = 1530 }
        is_subject = no
        num_of_cities = 10
        OR = {
            AND = {
                CAS = { is_female = yes }
                ARA = { is_female = no }
            }
            AND = {
                CAS = { is_female = no }
                ARA = { is_female = yes }
            }
            ARA = {
                ai = yes
                has_regency = yes
            }
            CAS = {
                ai = yes
                has_regency = yes
            }
        }
    }

So basically you have to be either Castille or Aragon, the other one has to be an AI and border you, the year has to be between 1450 and 1530 and you either have to have rulers of opposite genders or the AI nation has to be in a regency. Though the MTTH is ten times shorter when AI is not in a regency.

It's nice to see Paradox revisit these old and big events, like BI or IW. Brings a lot of fresh air into the game.

I'm fairly sure it's been that way for a while now.

I'm fairly sure it's been that way for a while now.

I believe it's since this patch, like Burgundian Inheritance. I used to play a lot of Aragon and never got this event before.

What I must do as Novgorod Merchant Republic for get more provinces than 20 for avoid the "large merchant republic" malus?

Is there some ideas\decision to have more provinces and remove the malus?

 

[Oscaretti]

Sadly there's nothing you can do while staying a Merchant Republic. You could try switching over to different kind of republic(which I don't know how to do or even if it's possible), or becoming a monarchy. You could theoretically get more than 20 provinces cause you get +0.5 republican tradition a year from your tradition, but that's just a waste :/ The best thing for you to do is to only add 20 provinces to states, cause they are the only ones that count towards the limit, and you can have as many territories as you want.

 

[CoolSpin]

I think if your Republican thing goes too low you get changed, google low republic thing and see what find.
