I am GB rather late in a game, it is ~1750. So i started doing random shit to see what happens. I conquered some shit in middle europe, and created a client state out of it. Then i conquered a lot more, and just gave the control of the sieges over to that client state and gave the provinces to them in a peace. Then i did the same thing a few more times. This client state is now ~ half of germany, with at most half of these provinces cored. Now obviously, that is major overextension and i expected there to be shitloads of gigantic rebellions. And there were. So i crushed them. Then more i appeared. Which i also crushed. At which point all of that client states provinces had at least 1 stacks of "recent rebel uprising", some of them up to 7. All of them now had a 0 % revolt risk. And still the revolts kept on coming, and in absurdly large amounts. Why? I know that it is not overextension events, because none of those spawn 100k rebel stacks. It can't be normal revolts, since all of that client states provinces have a 0 % revolt risk due to recent uprising. Apart from this being utterly unrealistic (I am pretty sure i killed most of the german population as rebels now), i also don't understand from the gamey logic why this happens. Apparently there are revolts which ignore revolt risk. Can someone shine a light on this? | ||

Also, don't integrate your vassals until you enter the HRE cuz if you do, first of all your inflation will skyrocket and second of all you will be too big to enter the HRE. | ||

yeah, it seems very random whether bosnia gives MA to ottomans as well, in which case you are not in a good place. here's my strat right now. I keep forgetting essential things like the scorching though so writing it down should help -.-: 1) scorch earth in albania, recruit 1 merc, assign skanderbeg to main stack. Take religious unity mission and surrender to orthodox zealots ASAP. if fort defense advisor is available, take one. 2) upon completion of merc, DOW bosnia + get MA from serbia. One diplomat to improve relations with Austria, one fabricates on Ragusa. Rush your troops to bosnia cap ASAP. 3) ideally battle in bosnia leaves you with 3k or more troops - if so, consolidate and split 2k to siege donji, 1 stack (whatever size) to stomp on recruiting units, 1 stack to loot Ottomans. cancel MA with serbia upon your looting army reaching Vidin (to maximize looting) 4) Loot Vidin -> Tarnovo -> Silistria -> Burgas -> Plovdiv -> Edirne -> Macedonia -> Thessaly -> Sofia -> Vidin. Multitask is making sure bosnia cannot recruit anymore (1 day siege is sufficient). Also dips should improve relations with Austria / Poland. 5) If Ottomans siege Albania, you can only loot the 5 provinces east of Sofia, trying to move to any other provinces provokes an immediate ottoman response 6) take Donji Kraji and Hum, recruit mercs there to hide your money from Ottomans. Ideally they should peace out for Albania and no money. Trying to work out whether I can headshot Ragusa as well in this timespan. but since ottomans get MA from Ragusa this is extremely risky. Anyways, looting ottomans leaves you with no loans and 100 ducats in the bank after this. So I think its worth it. | ||

Those seems like the most interesting features to me xD. EU4 is still the only game that I have no qualms for about purchasing DLC. | ||

Anyways, looting ottomans leaves you with no loans and 100 ducats in the bank after this. So I think its worth it. Hmm, I took only Donji and then vassalized the rest. Also instead of looting I sieged two provinces at the same time in Bosnia, after clearing stacks for a month or 3. (to get them to peace out faster and faster conquest of ragusa/serbia) Besides that, I don't think you should scorched earth, because you need the money and you'll still siege first if everything goes according to plan. | ||

Scorch earth for extra defensiveness is better for consistency imo (I was able to siege 2 provinces consecutively faster than they took albania as a result) - you're making 10x time Albania's starting income by looting anyways. | ||
