I'm sure there is a much smarter way of doing things, but you could always sell the balklands to Castille for 0 gold. If they don't take it, maybe save the game before they accept and switch tot hem and then accept as them?

I guess that would work, yea, but seeing as I want to restructure most of Europe that way, I was hoping there'd be something easier, like a command line option to give provinces away or something >_<

Who get's what province is decided by text files.

You just need to find the province you want (No small feat) and change the owner tag to who you want.

It's ... a bit of an involved process. Time-consuming, really. >_>

Can't use ctrl-F?

Provinces are numbered and last time I went into the files, there were no commented provincial names.

[Tarran]

The provinces are named and numbered in their file name in history>provinces.

OK, so as Spain, with 99% domination of the new world, am ending up butting heads with an Austria that ate Venice and got Liguria's CoT. So how do I tackle this guy? All I can really do is blockade him and hold onto his CoT territory. His WE keeps going up but he doesn't implode or anything. trying to land my troops there meets with stacks of 40 guys and Bohemia is in a truce with them.

[Descan]

Siege a province and scorch it, and lure him into it. (get out of it yourself!)

Use spies to cause economic and military damage to him, as well as revolts.

Wait him out for him to implode, it takes a while but it happens.

[Tarran]

Wait, you can scorch provinces you've occupied but don't own?

[Descan]

Pretty sure you can! I don't scorch, for good and for bad, so I don't know for sure.

But I'm pretty sure o-o

[Tarran]

I haven't directly checked recently, but I don't recall the scorch button being yellow on occupied provinces ever. Just your own provinces.

I remember trying to do this, but failing to do so. So either you can't or certain conditions needs to be met.

So, which spies are the best spies to use on Austria? Because some of them don't seem to be useful.Troop desertion? Incite against merchants?

Also, their war capacity has been 0 for a while so I kept pushing them. They don't seem to be running out of troops....

Download the Clauswitz Scenaria Editor. It has a map of the world where you can click each province and change it's history.

If you have a decent chance the stab hit one is excellent. Also useful is supporting nationalist/patriot rebellions in recently captured provinces of theirs; you'll often have 80-95% chances of success and the stacks can be brutally large. That can both wear down their manpower and draw their stacks away from the front.


But yes, you can only scorch your own provinces, at least in D&T. Doesn't mean you can't pull their stacks into your territory to do so if you have a common border.

One thing i've never understood about the scorching is that surely the AI will just move off the province? If not, they'll use the magastack you're trying to wear down to assault and control the province before any major damage is done.
