So..when you end a war it seems you lose a certain lump sum war exhaustion, just for ending the war. Does anyone know where this is documented, I've never really seen this until recently, but I can't find anything about it in the patch notes.

War exhaustion gets reduced if you lose a war. Proportionally to the amount of warscore by which you lost.

It also is reduced when you white peace, but more to the point, can you show me where this was introduced in patch notes or a dev diary, I can't find anything about it.
 
You're being serious, aren't you?
Yes, he is, and so am I.

If your capital is on a continent which contains at least one colonial region, then you are free to directly own as many provinces as you like in any and all colonial regions without triggering the formation of colonial nations.

As a Eurafrasian country wishing to directly own significant land in the Americas or Australia, you have to move your capital. The standard destination is Bermuda, which is in North America (so on the same continent as a colonial region) but not itself part of a colonial region (so you can move your capital there without completely un-stating your home-continent provinces).

It's not usually a good idea, but it's the only way to stop colonial nations forming. The vast majority of the time colonial nations are a good thing, adding more settlers and giving you a bonus merchant, as well as often giving far more in tariffs than territorial land ever could.
 
The number just looks weird to me... The whole Europe got single digit AE whilst neighbouring Portugal has 23...
Few decades ago I took 7 provinces in Dutch and nearly face a coalition (many HRE minors ~48/49), but now I took over the second greatest empire and nobody gives a shit? Sounds too good to be true:cool::cool::cool:
Well those are HRE land and the german culture group is big.

Technically, it's not the only way. Keeping the land uncored lets you keep it under direct control as long as you don't already have a CN in the region.

As colonizing yourself gives territorial cores, the only realistic way to make use of it is to conquer the territories settled by other nations. If the provinces doesn't have native cores (or were unsettled in 1444, not sure which) they won't give any overextension. It doesn't matter whether such provinces are held by a colonizer, CN or exiled/revolted nation - still no OE-cost and no compelling reason to core them.
 
During siege when I am getting wall breach how effective is assult?
It is just standard land combat with hidden rolls?
Does my generals skills are included if I have him assigned to the assulting army?
 
If you vassalize a PU senior while the junior declares independence, and then beat the junior into submission, does the senior keep the PU? do you get the PU?
If the senior keeps the PU, how does that work after I annex? do I have to pay for both and annex both? do i get the PU after I annex the senior?
If I vassalize after the senior lost the independence, can I use restoration of union on behalf of the senior?

Im just salty salzburg beat me to russia by a couple months (I had lowered my prestige), and ($%!"(/%·(/ austria didnt contest that nor took bohemia when it had the chance, could have got em all in one go

nvm austria challenged, and it is also challenging for sweden, lets pray they get both :)
 
Qing, whilst in 'Court and Country' disaster has a max absolutism cap of 60. In order to qualify for the +20 absolutism bonus you need to exit 'Court and Country' with absolutism of 65.

Will a golden age achieve this?
 
What do I need to do for a country to change their attitude towards me from 'Unknown'?

I want to Share Maps with a kingdom in Philippines, but their 'Unknown' attitude penalty of -50 makes it impossible. I have Fleet Basing Rights from them and my fleet is stationed in a port of theirs, still hovering over the attitude question mark gives 'Tondo has no knowledge of Castile'.
 
I got a Question about Trade Company's and Landforcelimit:

So in the Wiki it say's every 10 dev gives 1 force limit but thats modified by autonomy

so lets say we have the folowing scenario:

I got a 100dev province with a hidden autonomy of 0% (real is 75% because it's a territory and can't go lower)
This province gives me: (100*0.1)*(1-0.75)=2.5 Force-limit

How if I make it in to a full state it will give me:
This province gives me: (100*0.1)*(1-0)=10 Force-limit

Now my question is how much force limit will it give me if I make it in to a trade Company ?

you need 10x infantry or more then garrison to storm it. 10k in your besieging army for 1000 garrission so to speak. But for high amount of garrisson it can be bad idea, as it can decimate your infantry in morale and casualties.

Storming a capital fort with 500 garrisson is lot easier then storming level 8 fort with 4000 garrisson. But if you got the money to spare the mercs, why not.

AFAIK siege pips have influence on effectiveness of storming a fort, but i could be wrong.

I believe one way (maybe the only way?) is to have them see one of your non-colony provinces.

@gia I saw that before I asked my question, but it does not have the answer
