You need a transport ship: Cogs, Flytes, etc.

Ah, I'd really hate to ask this, but does anybody have a spare key of Europa Universalis 3 from the email? It would be greatly appreciated. Always was a fan of the Crusader Kings series and Hearts of Iron, but never got around to actually playing EU3, and I figured it would be a nice time to try it out.

Thanks Karlito!

You know, just when I thought my MEIOU game couldn't possibly get more interesting, I get an Southeast Asian nation named Batak revolting free in Foix even though I'm pretty sure they were never catholic. Great, now I've got SE Asian named kings in Europe with European family names.

As for Foix themselves, they're now a barque nation in Nafarroa.

Elsewhere in the world, Yaroslav is a giant in Russia (and arguably the one that would unite Russia if they tried), Karaman is a medium sized power, Medium-power Brittany is punching France around every once and a while, Abkhazia is an evil Sunni twin of Georgia, Mali crushed Fez, Ming is on Sumatra, the Blue Horde is somehow still alive, there's actually a Jewish province on the map in Ethiopia, and the world is generally just a bloody bloody absolute mess. And it's only 1583.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

What the hell have you done to the world.

The oddest things I've seen in my games were an England being fisted by a united Ireland (though France's [my] rebel funding may have played a part), a strong Moroccan presence in Italy, and the Golden Horde knocking on Burgundy's doorstep.

Nothing! All I've done is sit in west-central Europe as Bayern-Munchen eating HRE provinces from non-HRE countries (Woo! Free cores! Thanks Flanders!) while vassalizing various minors. I have not set foot anywhere else, not even France. The AI has just been playing really oddly this game, resulting in very odd results.

Does anyone remember the requirements to be able to claim an opposing capital as part of a peace treaty?

I know usually you can't, but it seems to me if it was disconnected from the rest of their provinces then you could, however this no longer seems to be the case.

you can, it also has to be disconnected by sea, though. so if their capital has a port and they have any other port then you can't claim their capital without annexing or first taking every other port (and land connection)

Not even a frigate nation? What a shame.

I bet that opinion is going to come with at least one question.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Playing as Naples and having a decent run at attempting to form Italy, but I've run into a roadblock; I can't figure out how to acquire Firenze without committing suicide. I have an RM with them, we're allied, relations are 190+, but Tuscany just won't become my vassal. They keep rejecting my offers.

If I tried to go the 'screw the BB, I want that province' route, I'd get dogpiled by Milan, Bohemia, and Aragon. I could potentially take on Milan without any issues, and I'm not sure Bohemia has an actual land route to me, but Aragon is doing particularly well; they've been just ahead of me on taking out and annexing Sicily, Sardinia, and Achaea so far this game and their navy is much more powerful than mine. Their land forces are about an even match, give or take a few thousand, but between them and Milan I'd have a hard time waging the war... all for an OPM.

So unless I'm missing something, my best option is to sit here, twiddle my thumbs, and spam Tuscany with vassalization offers with the chance of acceptance being 'Impossible'. *le sigh*
