Hello all. I was just wondering how you all were getting countries via inheritance. I've probably played about 80 hours of this game (crack-like in it's addictive nature), but have yet to have that happen once! (NA 1.08, +200 for decades, marriages and/or alliances)

Can anyone clue me in?

Thanks in advance.....
 
The first time I ever played as Austria, I inherited Hungary in 1497. :D
 
Still waiting for my first one :(
Maybe in my Brandenburg game now: it's 1602 and I have marriages with about very European nation except Poland :)
 
As Turkey I inherited Aden, and I think all I had with them was a Royal Marriage. I had decent relations, and was trying to get them to join my alliance, when all of a sudden they annxed themselves to me. Great, I'll take it!
 
In one campaign I inherited Saxony, Hanssa and Bavaria playing as Poland. I had 200+ relations with all of them for long time. I had Royal marriage with all and Vasalisation with Saxony. It happened after over 30 years of peace. I did not declare war on anybody or take new provinces. I believe it is AI way of balancing the game.:p

I don't know about balancing the game. It's 1538.
I'm Engalnd. Our Spain, Lorraine, Palatinet,Me
alliance has about 450k troops massed on the border
of France.

And then I inherit Denmark!!!

You should see the kick-ass Royal Navy now!
 
I was playing Granada(no major tags), managed to survive and expand a bit and had some incredible inheritances - Hafsid Empire, Aden and....Ottoman Empire, needles to say the third one totally turned my game around :p
Other inheritances I had(keep in mind I always remove major tags so this might? affect inheritances)
1.as Austria both Hungary and SPAIN
2.as Helvetia(remaining catholic)...I got Spain again and Bohemia...
what can I say? Getting Spain and its colonial empire is probably the best thing since sliced bread :p

and other less strange ones...
guess I'm lucky :p
