- best National Ideas for middle europe country? Playing Poland atm. I have 2nd idea box avail. And I took Quality Ideas as 1st one.
- my ally guarantees Teutonic Order and they got land I want. Is there a way to break it ?
- Best way to make vassal?

I'm new to EU series, i think only way to broke guarantee is through peace deal.
Also, as Poland you should vassalize Teutonic Order early, using mission "Remind knights of their duty" ors smth like that, but take Chelmno (Reconquer Chelmno mission) and maybe Danzig and core them before that, later try to diplo annex them. Also diplo annex Mazovia and Moldovia.
Later merge Poland with Lithuania into Commonwealth (u may want to westernize before that, use Move Capital to Warszawa for +3 stability bonus, u can't use that decision as commonwealth)
Your insults will do nothing to blunt the agonies of your demise.

Thanks for tips mate.
But:
- is it good idea to diplo annex Moldavia? Cultural change is so damn expensive.
Mazovia is ok, same culture, no problem.
- how to merge it late? i have alliance, marriage and so on... but how?
EDIT: And how to vassalize Teutonic Order when they are -73... I wont be able to improve relations to 190 that easy.

Playing my third full game as Brandenburg, with the most updated version of the game, after learning lessons as Savoy and Muscovy. Wow...pretty amazing stuff. Playing it very diplomatically (diplomacy for first idea, saved up for embassy, pushed for the relevant techs, etc.) and it worked out brilliantly. Got a masterpiece on their hands. For those wanting to understand how Brandenburg works in this game, I suggest the following book: http://amzn.to/1faU6AM

Finished with Portugal 4Th after France, GB and the Ottomans. France was going down after being a Pyromaniac for 200 years.
short AAR
Playing with Portugal, after stabbing Castille, Aragon become the main power in the peninsula. fortunately they just couldn't keep off Italian affairs. With my helping and Naples and Tuscani kept them occupied, until I got stinking rich with the colonies and trade.
Now I could face them heads on. The first war could have gone both ways but i prevail taking the important south Spanish provinces.
In the second war they brought France Along but they where already arms deep in eastern Europe and kept attacking me in the colonies which i couldn't care less.. My war was at home. So I got hold of most of the peninsula by 1650. After that I was only afraid off France. But they never went direct at me. The XVIII century was mostly in pilot mod a few wars here and then, the major being with GB, which again went for the colonies..while i went for London.
Could probably have done more but I just cruise in the last 100 years.Never declared war on anyone after Castille in the beginning, and manged to "save" the Iroquois and Creek by involving their territories with my colonies in north America. Could´t do the same with the Aztecs & Inca which survived barely from the French and Aragon occupation.

Learn to live with it. Unless you are prepared to waste an idea slot for religion.

That's not necessary. You get +1.5 on conversions with +3 stability. Then there are events offering temporal increase on conversions. You just need to stack them at the right time and it should be possible to convert all but really tough provinces without the need for religion ideas.

3DMGAME-Europa.Universalis.IV.v1.1.3.Update.Incl.7.DLCs.and.Crack-3DM
| Quote: | Small hotfix:
- Fixed game freeze when forming country and setting capital
- Checksum now also include missions
We are continuing to work on a major patch with some new mini features and improvments in areas such as optimizations, sound problems, mp problems and other things. Stuff we release in hotfixes are things that have the combination of being urgent and being fairly small so we minimize the risk of breaking more stuff than we fix. |

annoying that you can't just hit the check for update button, and it downloads the patch. For free I am not complaining, just an observation

Playing with Brandeburg, for a 110 years by now.
I own 11 provinces, have Bohemia as a vasal state and i'm integrating it right now, should be over in the coming 15 years. (i'm not so sure if it is a good idea right now...).
I've changed my religion to protestant, and it was a bitch for some 10 years or so, not by the internal unrest, that was only minor, but by the degradation of my relations with my former allies, Austria and Poland.
Meanwhile, i participated in many wars that involved my warmonger allied Austria.
The discontent with them for this wars, has made easy to get many votes for becoming HRE, which i surpisly did (beeing a medium power and beeing protestant).
And now, beeing the leader of the HRE, is a bitch. The Ottomans declared war against my ally Austria and we, as a collition forming the HRE, declared war on the Ottomans to defend Austria and Croatia.
In that war, I nearly got obliterated by the Ottomans, who in military numbers, were literally, the double of all the HRE forces combined. I've lost all my forces and learned an important lesson: generals that have high shock and power are a must for a large army that is meant to fight other armies. I suscribed the peace, and even if it wasn't my war, as the HRE leader, the 500 ducats that cost me the peace, was paid by me alone... I'm not that sure if HRE leader is a correct strategy, but it has some benefits also.
Austria layed in ruins after that war, and hence their were warmongers, France, England, Venice, Sweden and many other small states declared war on them. They asked me for support, but had to say no, lost 10 emperor power points and my alliance to Austria was disolved. (Sweden who's now a mayor power was from some time ago, my new ally, to confront Poland and Lithuania later on). After all, was a smart deal with minimum consequences.
Now, my armies are ready again with top line (8 years ahead of time) military advances. My goal is to form Germany, but Saxony, who owns the requiered lands have a 180 positive opinion of me, so i'm considering to start a diplomatic conquest (that would take at least 100 years) to integrate them, instead of the military option (given that I'm protestant and they are catholics, France, who's protector of the catholic church will support them and that's a big war that i can't win yet)....
so... game is awesome

Ships with trade power will add to your trade power in trade node. This will increase power of your current merchant mission in that trade node.

- 3 - why the hell I can't vasslize enemy ? In 1525 Albrecht Hohenzollern was vassalized and it was friend of Poland.... I need 190 points to vassalize? I've got worse relations with my vassals atm. |
There is always description what criteria you must met to vassalize/annex. To have better relations with nation you can send diplomat to improve relations or send gift or do other diplomatic actions like have this same rivals.

Here, read some wiki articles, its not that simple
Maneuver is basically speed of your army, when it moves, but also is a factor in reinforcements in foreign territory, and in flanking (not only cavalry)
Shock and fire are bonuses depending on phase battle is in, siege adds to siege time modifier, there is also combat width (how many forces are you able to use in battle, some terrains will have penalties like hills or mountains -33/66% to combat width)

Your insults will do nothing to blunt the agonies of your demise.
