I am playing as Georgia and my Total Land Force limit at the beginngi is 6.
Why 3 provinces that I have are giving me +0.0 bonus?

View attachment 516430

I've checked all of them and they should give me +2.90.

After that I've played Mazovia and there each province gave me correct bonus.
Is it's related to the number of provinces?
Like, small countries are not getting LF limit bonuses?

Please help me to understand it.
Just the tooltip is lying. The +2.9 should be correct As the tooltip says 8 units without pentalty (that part isn't lying).
 
Why Ashikagas land force limit at the beginning of the game is 19?
I see it's taking bonuses from each Daiymo but I have no idea why.
I wasn't able to find any LF limit bonus for Shogunate on Wiki page.

And it's before Sword Hunt decision has been activated.

Vassals grant the overlord 1+10% of their force limit as additional FL.

So every single Daimyo gives at least 1.3 FL to Ashikaga.

This can be increased by 'Vassal FL Contribution' modifiers, which Ashikaga has in it's NI's [One of three nations to have it; the others being Bosnia and Andalusia]; and are also linked to Influence Ideas and certain policies and even Government Forms.

Notably the +Subject FL Contribution govforms are tied to being Buddhist; which Japan can flip to via event.

It's entirely possible to keep Ashikaga Ideas [Or never form Japan]; flip Buddhist and take Mandala System; and then take Influence and the required policies [Aristocratic and Economic] and get +500% Vassal FL contribution [Totaling +600%]

Which makes every Vassal give you 6+60% of their FL as your FL; and Marches give 12+120%.

Which actually makes it more efficient to build FL building in your subjects than your own land. Because the vassal gets +1/+2 FL; and you get +0.6/+1.2 for a Vassal or +1.2/+2.4 for a March. With this setup building a +2 FL building in a March effectively gives you +4.2 total FL between the March's own army and your own.

You can also stay Shinto/Go Christian; and stay the Shogun and never form Japan, so you can have unlimited Daimyo. This cuts Vassal FL Contribution to +400%; but you can have as many vassals as you please. Provided they don't murder each other.

I got 1200 hours on this game and I still don't get some things.

I lost more than 1 battle in my last war while I still had some moral (even if few), and I even had more moral than my enemy! How is this possible?

Morale is one thing, what about discipline? units modifiers? tech? General? Those also count and be the reason why you lost. At worst case you can blame the dice roll

Wait, I'm not taking about "max morale" or things like that. As far as I know a battle ends when one of the 2 armies reach 0 morale. If I still have morale (and I have even more than my enemy), why does the battle ends? And why does it end with me losing it?

The morale bar can sometimes a bit misleading. As it's the average of all your units (even dead ones are counted). If all your able fighting units drops to zero you retreat. This can happen if you don't consolidate before you fight.

Like if you have a unit with one 100 men, but with full morale. If a fight all those 100 dies, but before they dying there morale isn't zero. So in the bar it looks like you'll retreat while you still have some morale.
 
If I am in the HRE and I have a vasall inside the HRE,
now I won a war and I give my vasall a province in the peacedeal as well as taking provinces for myself in the same peacedeal,
can now Austria give my vasall a "Return unlawful Territory"-Request and my vasall might return it?
Or does Austria have to give that request to me as the overlord?
 
If I make a culture (for example Tuscan in Italy) an "accepted culture" maybe then 2/2 a.cult.,
and later I form Italy and all Italian Cultures get accepted anyways in a cultural Union of Italy,
will I then get the slot back for accepting something else?
You get your slots back
Also, I saw the Papal State can not upgrade to Empire Rank, can he still get the cultural union over Italy?
Nope
 
so I was in a humiliate rival war with spain and had the option to demand the CN in mexico and columbia in the peace deal, but I coudnt demand any of his other colonial nations.
what is required for that to be an option?
I have one colonial nation in mexico who has expandet into the columbian colonial zone by him self, is this what I need? a CN in the same colonial teretory as my enemy? Do the CN them merge or do I have to own 2 seperate subjects?

Looks like they still haven't fix the bug that you can demand colonial nation with humilation war...

To your question, you need a colonial nation in that region for that option to appear. When you're able to demand mexico and columbia, means you have a colonial nation in the two region. When you demand it all the land will be given to your colonial nation.
 
Hey, I'm just wondering how the "distant war" malus works when declaring war? I'm Ethiopia and my provinces stretch down to South Africa. Portugal, Spain and I have some provinces in the Cape of Good Hope region. They are both allied, so if Portugal declares war on me, can they call Spain in? Thx in advance :)
 
What counts as "Nearby Friendly Province" for institution spread?

I colonized Taiwan as Japan and then embraced Renaissance and Colonialism. Ming had negative relations with me and didn't get institution spread across the water from Taiwan into its provinces for about thirty years. Ming released Wu as a vassal, so now I have Wu across the water from Taiwan instead of Ming. Wu has -100 relations after I insulted them. But it for some reason gets Renaissance and Colonialism spreading into its provinces from Taiwan. Why do my provinces count as friendly for Wu but not for Ming?

Because insulting doesn't really change anything. It's not their opinion of you that is taken into account, but your opinion of them - and that is much harder to affect. Especially as it's in their interest to keep you happy, so they'd probably improve relations with you to get that institution.

Thanks a lot, I had no idea about this, even if it's strange because I almost Always shift-consolidate
