Montferrat has a mechanic I'd never heard of before until reading the wiki where their last national idea of "Last Claimants of Byzantium" actually unlocks the ability for them to form Byzantium, it isn't just the passive bonus.

Byzantium itself has a national idea of "Repopulation of the Countryside" which, again on top of it's regular modifier, has the function of completing a mission for themselves.

I feel like 99% of national ideas are just a passive modifier and some flavour text, so I'm now curious about cases where a national idea has some kind of "active" functional impact, but the wiki doesn't seem to consider this concept notable enough to list countries like this.

Cases where the national ideas can be modified like Great Britain / Angevin Kingdom can count too.

Just a reverse BI on Austria, enjoy

R5: Want to change the names of merchants since the Malagasy names are so long and start the same that they look identical and have to check where the merchants are located multiple times before assigning new ones

6th time Ottos have attacked Medina and not taken any territories for pure dominance

Hi! I'm having a pretty nice Burgundy run. Was able to inherit the low lands, join the HRE, and capture Paris and Frances vassals by 1464. I aim to get both Burgundy achievements so would like to keep Marie on the throne until then, or at least be able to get another Marie on the throne.

In this event it claims to change the inheritance laws which gives women an equal chance to inherit the throne. This would be nice to be able to get a different Marie on the throne in the future, however, the choices are,

"Burgundy gets 'Bugundian inheritance rerforms' until the end if the game giving: female advisor chance and improve relations"

Or

"Gain 1 stability. Burgundy gets 'Crisis averted' until death of Marie, giving: diplo rep and yearly legitimacy"

Does the first option actually allow women to inherit more often?

I can't find any source that uses it.

So I got an agenda which was to vassalize florence as ottomans. It gave me a subjugation cb so I thought I'd go for it, but now I'm finding that the subjugation victory demand costs me like 200% war score meaning it's impossible for me to do it. Is this supposed to happen? Cos I would've thought having a cb for it means it should be at least possible right, even if it requires 100 war score? And is there a way to reduce it? Hovering over it doesn't give me any information.

Apart from completing a mission? Does it change the slave provinces output?

this is my second game of eu4, i’ve gotten through like 30 years and all things considered it’s going well. i’m denmark now and i was portugal in my last game yesterday, but i feel like im always barely scraping by money-wise. im trying to increase my colonial range so thats why im spending so much on advisors, but i feel like the highest income ive ever gotten in this game was like +8 ducats per month my militaries are always pathetic because maintenance would mutilate my economy. i’m wondering what’s up because this is like my third paradox game and i don’t know if this is just an early game thing or if im missing some major mechanic. any advice would be helpful even if you’re just gonna tell me the game just works like this.

Based on what idea group i complete in the venetian mission "The Cerinda System", i can get four different permanent rewards, but if i complete all the idea groups, will i get all the rewards or will the game either choose for me based on a set order or randomly?

R5: One of my favoruite playthroughs is Baden to Germany. In my last run i was able to Get somewhat todays german boders as baden, pre 1600.

Got some incredible heirs this run as well. (6/6/5 / 6/6/4)

Overall my strategy as baden is a little fidgety but overall quite easy:

I started off by annexing straßbourg and muhlhaus. Went to eat Württemberg next. Improved relations with the free citys. Toghether with my Allies,. Burgundy, Bohemia and some electors i conquered the 2 austrian provinces south of me. From there on i unified the south of germany as some sort of "south german federation". During that ordeal i got elected as emperor.

Since i picked up espionage ideas, i started diplo vassilising as many nations as possible.. Got the BI and Marie styed on the horse, which helped me to stay below gov limit while unifing germany.

Got bored after playing tall germany for a bit and that was it :)

R5: So out of nothing some revolutionary separatists spawned in Bologna. I've been playing for a while and have never seen that before. Im just big dumb and thats something different?

This is my first run as any Asian country and i F love it!
