Innovative is pretty useless if your catholic imho. Narrowminded gives you all the good bonuses for the Holy See and stuff. On the other hand, if your not Catholic, then there's little reason not to go Innovative, especially if your not western tech and need to Westernize.

Well, there's an alternative in the reformation era too. You can pick up Encumenism, which will essentially remove the negative effect for heretics in your land. If you flip religion to one of the reformation ones, you'll actually gain more tolerance for heretics than your brand new religion.
This is good, since you'll find that true faith provinces will start randomly flipping to other heretic religions.

That's what I did for my Brittany game. Went full on Innovative and Free Subjects. Enormous trade sealed the deal. Dominated the world in technological advancement.

How is this good?

I, personally, enjoy chaos and bloodshed. He might mean other nations' provinces, which would be hilarious.

He was talking about a situation where your tolerance for heretics is higher than that for people of the true faith.

Is there any easy way to determine if you're going to start a world war in Divine Wind? The UI doesn't really seem clear on what will and will not cause a cascading alliance. I've gotten hopelessly rusty after playing so much CKII. I also miss "war goals" with a passion usually reserved for women.

You want to vassalise that mangy one province minor with that mission you got? Think again, SPONTANEOUS QUADRUPLE SUPERPOWER ALLIANCE!

[Dutchling]

Just remember that only war leaders can call in allies*, although (pu) vassals will always help their overlord if they are allied.
As long as you don't attack someone with a significantly stronger ally (Like Genoa -> France) you will never have a cascading alliance.

*With alliance I mean everything from a guarantee(?) to being in someone's sphere of influence.

Ahhh, those were fun times.  I remember getting all of europe into a war by trying to vassalize Meissen, with me(Burgundy) and most of the HRE and France (even though I wasn't emperor, just VASSALIZED EVERYTHING) Against Spain, Scotland (who ate England after I beat England in a war), Portugal, Poland, Norway, Sweden, Granada (who was catholic for some silly reason), Lithuania, a few Italian minors, and Sicily.  'Twas fun, though I couln't vassalize most of them because they were either too big or infamy was too high.  So I waited out a decade or two for provinces to defect.

What I learned is that the AI for having tons of allies in a fight sucks.  I had about 200k allied troops from all my vassals sitting outside a province with.... 20k enemy soldiers.  Why?  Because every individual country in that stack had less, and nobody thought to work together.  So I had to bring some of my 300k standing army around to attract the horde into an ongoing fight, which they would all gladly do.

I have a question to ask:
I'm Aragon, and I used france to bully castille into a personal union. However, castille won't stop sending insults. Do you guys have any idea if castille stops eventually, or will I have to roll over castille with france again? (Death & Taxes mod)

[Micro102]

Well that's why you shouldn't try to PU someone massive and next to you. I guess you should just try to hold out until they lose their leader.

When I play as Denmark Sweden does this. They'll stop if you're in a war with someone together. Just bully Morocco or something.

[Rex_Nex]

Yea, its hard to keep a country that is larger then you in a PU. Stay in war until you gain enough land over Castille to stop them from insulting.

That whole deal kind of adds insult to injury for Aragon, and it's why I never bother to play as them. You go through all that work to finally gain dominance over the Castillian throne, then realize that they will just break the PU anyway. Boo!

[Micro102]

I'd like to make a correction on something I said earlier. You DON'T get tariffs from South America if your capital is in North America and there is a land connection. But if a province that connects the 2 is under siege then it doesn't count as a connection anymore.

When the nation of Dauphiné managed to declare independence from France, I thought they wouldn't mind being ruled by a fellow Occitan nation instead.

Spoiler: Maybe I slightly underestimated their patriotism (click to show/hide)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that when the rebel stack is about the size of your total land-force limits, your kinda fucked. Nether the less, any advice on how to handle the Rebel Doom Stack?

From WAMMO mod Peace of God Scenario, if any of you are wondering.
