Hey guys, just a quick question.
Is it possible to edit the settings file of this game so that, when you get into a war with a country and conquer all their territory, it's possible to completely annex their entire country even if they are a big country? In the actual game, your forced to force-secede them into giving you pieces and pieces until they are small enough for you to complete-annex them. This just doesn't seem realistic to me. If you conquer their entire country, then you should be able to annex their entire country in 1 war.
Can anyone teach me how to do this? I have divine winds and latest beta patch.
a) install hearts of iron 2
b) congratulations you can now annex their country in 1 war

I like that you cant take some countries in one go.
I mean think about it you try to annex a country that is probably bigger then yours this would mean you would need an army that is bigger than you own country can actually field. And is not possible to take over the whole state either. You cant just go somewhere and say now we control you! That just doesnt work.

Wasn't it the other way around?
Either way. I have a little problem, and I'd love an answere for it.
I'm playing the original EU3 divine wind, as I wanna play on hamachi with people who's got the steam version.
I play as Brandenburg, and it's honestly going too good to be true. Early on I for some reason got cores in all neighbouring countries, so I can just invade whenever I want as cores in the same culture group don't dissappear, and just after that I get England as the lesser part in a personal union.
The thing is that England spams insults as soon as we're at peace, and if their king dies while at negative relation, the personal union cease to exist (that's what you gotta do early on as brandenburg to get rid of the personal union with luxemburg btw). Is there any way to make them stop?
We're currently at war and at 200 relation, but as soon as I make peace they just keep insults rolling in, and you can't even bribe them as you only gain 20-30 relation while you lose 50 from the insult.
Do I have to be at war until they finally become a part of my empire?

You have to have a larger land army than them, and perhaps navy factors in too.
If you have ever played as denmark, you know this gets silly, as you go over twice your forcelimit just to keep sweden from insulting you. lol.

Oh thanks awesome. I'll just declare war on scotland and ireland then, and keep England's army down ^^
Thanks for the quick answer! ♥

Can anyone explain how the trade window works?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/IxUSe.jpg)
Specifically, what does that 5 level pyramid mean, the monopoly area, and how does auto sending my merchant help? How can I manipulate those for my benefit?
Also, any tips about opening new CoTs? When is it feasible to do so?
|
Each level of that pyramid is how many merchants you have at that CoT.
Level 1 = 1 Merchant
Level 2 = 2 Merchants
Etc...
Each CoT can hold 20 merchants before competition kicks in and you have a chance of a merchant settling there successfully.
Monopoly is something you can get when you research up to a certain trade tech level. (Can't remember what level exactly)
Auto sending just helps so that as you get merchants becoming available, it will automatically send them to that CoT in order to retain as high a level of competition as possible. So high value CoT's are more beneficial to have an auto-send merchant level so that if another country manages to remove one of your merchants, it will take care of sending one automatically so that you don't even need to notice/think about it.
Opening a new CoT costs 500gold, and is only feasible when your country is able to support it (usually when the exisiting CoT for your country is worth something like 400 gold - I think it is?)

If you click on the book you see there, it will take you to your ledger where you can more easily manage your trade.
Basically, each merchant you have in a trading center gives you 5% of the centers total trade value. If you have 5 merchants in Lübeck early on you can make quite a lot of money.
Each marketplace can only hold 20 merchants at once so if there are more they will be competing against each other. Here is where trading get's a bit difficult. If you hoover over one of the shields representing a nation in the "pyramid" you can see you chance of competing with said nations merchants. A LOT of factors are taken into account here but the most important are your trade level and your infamy. Generally a value over 40% is considered acceptable to start sending of streams of merchants (of course this is depending on the value of the marketplace).
Now, there are three levels of auto-send priorities. The red and yellow levels means that the computer constantly sends merchants to the marketplace until you have five there (it prioritizes yellow over red). The green setting means that the computer tries to claim a monopoly of the marketplace. This can be good but most of the time this is not a good setting.
If you get a monopoly on a marketplace you will make a lot of money but all the other countries merchants will be competing against you meaning that you will soon loose the monopoly (and a merchant) if you do not have a very high compete factor.
It can be very costly yo maintain a monopoly since the computer will keep sending merchants all the time and they all cost a bit of money.

I think the free trade slider is the most important thing. Mosdt countries will start with the slider being almost at the end of mercantilism but some countries like Hanse and Holland have it very close to free trade which allows them to swarm every CoT they can reach with very high chances to push an enemy merchant out of buisness giving them huge trade income and through that an easy time teching

Every time I try to play this game I get impatient after a couple hours and start cheating. I really want to play through properly, but it just moves so slow! Any tips?

Ming, Mamaluks, Castille, A few of the Germanic countries, Granada (that was a short game). I think the inability to expand aggressively without building up too much infamy is what does me in.

I started as Castille, allied France to get a CB against Portugal and annexed them. It took 2 wars, and it was mostly to get rid of their huge fleet. Then I guranteed Navarro to get a war against Aragon, which I won and took half of. After that, it was simple to take Granada for the glory of God. Of the Iberian peninsula I only miss a few provinces for complete dominance. So far so good. Now I have a lot of infamy, and will soon be able to get the Quest for the New World, so the plan is to stay at peace while I grab the juiciest bits of the Americas. I've also changed to imperial administration.
Anyway, I have a question. My ruler is pathetically bad, and his heir is much better. Is there some way to kill him off?

How is it that winged hussars, which were the strongest calvary unit in Europe are weaker than the calvary you get a couple of tech levels back??
Anyways, the advantage you get from a couple of land levels is too imba. You can win this game easy if you just put all your money into land, get a couple levels above your neighbors, and just dominate them in war.

Send your leader to battle. Its on the recruit military leader screen

Can someone tell me why in me and my friends game, half the countries in africa and around them are spewing out CoT?
Seriously, Ethiopia has 5 provinces with 1-2 in Base Tax, but he's build 4 CoT with none of them being worth more than 60 gold (so yes, thats obviously cheating), as has Swahili and Mutapa. It's fucked up and kind of ruins the whole trade mechanic immersion :s

Depends at what time. In the 1700-1800s a couple of levels is like 5 -6 years
