I can play...well, right now or some time later. Haven't tested the multiplayer yet, so I don't know how it works. | ||

I was playing as Burgundy, and got the personal union CB with pommerania, and I managed to beat them fairly easely, even though Bohemia with vassals joined in the fight against me. Once I got all of Pommerania I noticed that they were already in a personal union with Bohemia (fml) so I continue anyway just cuz I might get something out of it, and if not - atleast I'm weakening the strong opponents further, as I was clearly winning. When I beat Bohemia I got the personal union peace option with them O_O I read it through and it said that they'd be in a personal union under me. Guess what happened? Nothing.. It was just a white peace. Edit: Is there a way to change the colour coding of countries? Playing like Bohemia seems fun as I enjoy mainland expanding, but I can't stand the diarrhea colour  Imagine all of Europe covered by that shit. | ||

1) How do I create one? 2) What factors contribute to success of the Integrate diplomatic option? Everytime I try, it's just "Impossible." 3) Sometimes, you just inherit countries. How can I make this happen/more likely to happen? | ||

It explains a lot about PUs (Esp #2/#3). My take on why they happen (aka #1): I believe it occurs when you have a royal marraige with another country and their leader passes away (possibly without an heir? Maybe with a weak heir?). Maybe someone with more experience can step in an correct anything I got wrong. | ||

Now all was fine and dandy (well Milan took most of Neaples even tho I did most of the fighting but I got all of the Papal states and also 2 provinces of Naples). So, for some reason Savoy/Ferrastra/Provence (+ som REAL minors) were being retards and joined the war (whiteout a "dire" reason to do so", there was no alliance or anything... I thinkt hey just did not like Milan becoming big...). The war was annoying (Provence had like nothing but for sure was a pain in the ass allways attacking my cores while the papal state was attacking Roma and all my army being caught up taking 4 provinces at once :D... And some other random Country I have no clue why it was involved "dropped" me all over...). The only one that really fought back was Ferra (black/whiet flag one) but after that one was broken stuff went good, I annexed all of savoy and ferra (well, Milan also grabbend 1-2 provinces of Ferra). So I was happy, I even could bring my inflation back down... Everything looked really, really good. Not even Austria (which entered the war on my side VERY late and VERY pointlessly) or someone else was pissed at me. So what happens: The Holy Roman Asshole wants you to give province X to Austria --> I'm all like: NO. The Holy Roman Asshole wants yo to give province Y to Austria --> I'm all like: Hell no. Repeat... Milan no longer wants to be my buddy now... Revolts spawn... My income goes to shit... My inflation rises... WHAG Fuck this game (or at least the Emperor). Btw: Is it random if i belong to the HRE as Switzerland? Sometimes i can leave the Empire immediatly/don't seem to be in it at all, sometimes like "never/i have to do serious insulting" to be able to leave... Which is kinda bad because the Emperor tends to be a dick and i myself can't become emperor due to not being a Monarchy.. Btw: I played EU3 whiteout the new Addon earlyer so i had no Magistrates so that was why i couldn't get high level Advisors... it's way easyer to play now :D. Heh. War in the HRE is always annoying. That's why it's a relatively stable construct, even with dozens of different nations. There's a way to deal with this though- all HRE provinces have the option (local decision) to "abandon the HRE" for 1 magistrate. Vassalizing usually works better (if you actually want to become emperor). | ||

More specifically: 1) How do I create one? 2) What factors contribute to success of the Integrate diplomatic option? Everytime I try, it's just "Impossible." 3) Sometimes, you just inherit countries. How can I make this happen/more likely to happen? 1. Either randomly with someone you've got a royal marriage with or you can look at the little crown icon on the centre top of the screen and read which countries have a weak claim, royal marriage them and press 'claim throne' on the bottom of the diplomatic list. From then on you get a casus beli against them, and you basically force vasslize them. The difference from being a vassal is that they are released if your king dies and you have a: negative prestige, negative diplomatic relationship or whatever it's called with the country. They will also spam insults if they have a stronger army than you do. 2. There are different factors, but there's a percentage every time your king dies. If it's a 'large' nation, such as france for instance - there's a Significantly smaller chance of enheriting them. When you enherit you basically annex them automatically and without penalty. You can allso force this to happen through the integrate button, but they might decline, and you get badboy for it. 3: The insta enherit thing is completely random afaik. There's a super super small chance every time a king dies with which you have a royal marriage. You see a little list of the heir, and different other possible heirs when you hover over their king's name. It's basically if both the king and the heir dies afaik, or if the heir has a very weak claim (such as if you fuck the maid instead of get a new heir in that event for instance). Then they just pick one of the royal marriage countries I think. Have alot of royal marriages - and that'll atleast increase the chance. It's still very unlikely to happen. Nowadays I personally usually keep my royal marriages to a minimum (as they recieve a -100 hit in relations when you claim throne) and just keep on forcing personal unions and keep a watchful eye on the weak heir list After what I read from their forum there's appearantly not much public information of percentage chances etc, but heck who cares. | ||

Did you happen to be leading any PU's at the time? You can't switch to a republic if you're leading one. | ||

Vassalizing usually works better (if you actually want to become emperor). The problem is... It's in my head into playing Switzerland until i achieve World domination at least once :p. Switzerland is no Monarchy or any of that sort, vassilination isn't possible and rulign the HRE whiteout a Monarch is also out of the question ... But yes, i found how i can leave the HRE... I played "Vanilla" EU3 to long, stuff works different there (or I did not find it there, at least there are no Magistrates)... I think I kinda "got" this game now, except for one thing: Infamy? Is it just a "pacemaker" so you don't grow too big to fast or is there actually anything "interesting" about it? My strife for Glory in the game yesterday ended like this: I owned all of Lorraine, Baden and 2 provinces of Naples. I was stable again, everything went right, my Inflation was at 0.0 and I could Mint serious money when needed whiteout getting any Inflation from it. So.... I got kinda bored (Burgundy to the west was too big, Austria to the east was to big but at least Bohemia was to caught up with it's own wars to be of any concern. So I decided to finish of Naples and annex it's capitol. This went fast and good but then: Milan opened war with me, Genua came to my help and kinda killed Milan on it's own. To my north ton of smaller countries attacked me. After a few years I sent all of them home and made white peace... Only Milan was left over (I wanted a cookie) and I took one province (SEA ACCESS!) of it. Well, all was fine and dandy.. I got my province with sea access... Genua looked stronger than ever (my only true ally, because they don't go into retarded wars and actually help ) and I was just a little worried about my infamie..Then: Austria declared war on you... I could deliver a fight to Austria alone, I would probably lose still but they at least woul have to pay. BUT, guess who his ally is? Yeah, France (and tons of small countries)... I lost 2 provinces and had to give Baden and Lorraines independence back. Well.. No problem, I can take them again later (spawn revolt or something) and I still got 4 provinces with Sea access.. A strong (Trade)economy and nearly 20k manpower to get the army going again.... THEN: Burgundy declared war... And ripped the shit out of the rest of me and took another 2-3 provinces. Now i lost like 6 provinces, wasn't stable at all and walking armies from Switzerland to Naples due to revolts was annoying to say the least (and the revolts where serious -.-). T H E N: I went to bed... INFAMY = bad :D. I so wish I would have saved before attacking Naples .Questions: Infamy: Is it really only a pacemaker or do I not "get" something about it? It seems to overwrite everything, good standings with a country does not seem to matter after a certain point (~2X infamy). The Wiki seems to say this... "Sphere of Influence": What does this do? It shows up when I wanted to attack certain countries and I could "get it" on some smaller countries myself... But what for is it? (NVM found it in the wiki). BTW: Not being able to get diplomatic Vassals sucks... Democracy sucks! | ||

I am not sure what type of democracy Swiss has but with Noble Republic you can still vassalize people | ||
