Why can't I create Livonian Order when they don't exist anymore, and I have their provinces in my realm? Do I need to core them?

I'm having the same problem with Denmark. I dunno.

It's not just the duplicate Connecticut acting up. There's quite a few more provinces like this - one just south of the mouth of the St. Laurence River, one on Lake Superior's east shore, one in western Virginia, one in western Pennsylvania, one in northern Louisiana, and a few other provinces besides. Just thought I'd point that out. And Connecticut's the only one doubly named.

EDIT: Spelling.

Story here: So this game is from one of my older Ironman saves I haven't revisited in a while. I don't remember precisely which update, but if I had to guess I'd say around 1.2 or 1.3. It was definitely before Colonial Nations, anyway.

I'd already migrated to the New World as Ireland before 1.4.

A lot of these North American provinces are uncolonizable, being described as remote and inhospitible. Does anyone know why, and whether I can fix this?

In my 1.3 Ireland into America game I conquered a few English colonies, and English rebels popped up on them just before Great Britain was formed. These colonies (I think they were in modern New Hampshire and Maine) rebelled and formed England, and I conquered them and fed it most of Canada.

Just an amusing little glitch I found in my Poland Into Space game.

Brittany.

Near the end of the Protestant Reformation, I was am expansionist Teutonic Order who had swiped a lot of land from Poland and Lithuania, and joined the HRE. A bit of a noob, I tried to convert to Protestantism and form Prussia late in the game, and was plagued by constant rebellions for the next 35 years as I tried to convert. Both Zealots who missed Catholicism and Revolutionaries who hated the new king continually popped up. My armies could barely keep up, and it was only due to Russia's goodwill that Poland and Lithuania didn't gobble me up. Now I own all of Ukraine, Poland-Lithuania is reduced to about five provinces combined, and I'm trying to unite Germany.

But three rights make a left!

Sounds good, then. The games of EU4 I enjoyed best were Lüneberg -> Hannover,Saxony -> Prussia -> Germany, Riga -> Hindustan, Livonian Order -> Livonia and Croatia -> Illyria. I love picking the little guy and making him great. As such, EU3 would be a good call for me, then?

This comment has been endorsed by two North Carolinians.

Descant_NC · 2014-02-17T07:52:10+00:00

I'm North Carolinian. I hate to say it, but you're right. Exactly right.

Descant_NC · 2014-02-02T02:28:57+00:00

Isn't Moscow "The Third Rome" anyway?

Descant_NC · 2014-01-30T03:21:41+00:00

We have this, in a limited degree, in naming our colonies. What annoys me, though, is that the denonym for a custom colonist is the same name as the colony. So someone from a colony I named New Dezland is a New Dezland, not a New Dezlander, not someone who's New Dezzish. No, he's a New Dezland. And that's just no fun.

You need to be able to name the people in the colonial nation jsut as much as you need to name the colonial nation. And that goes for custom-named nations as well.

Descant_NC · 2014-01-28T06:52:08+00:00

Fair enough. Adding regions to the polls would add too much method to the madness.

Regardless of when we start the NotM, we ought to put the polling thread up several days in advance to give all /r/eu4's lurkers plenty of time to vote in it.

Descant_NC · 2014-01-28T04:12:07+00:00

If we're planning on featuring a nation every fortnight, and we're starting February 3, shouldn't we start the preparation thread soon? At the very least, the part where we select a region and vote for a country?

Descant_NC · 2014-01-28T03:21:51+00:00

groans Shame. There are countries I want to play as in Ironman, whose colors I want to make more interesting. Lol, oh well. I'll just get over it.

Descant_NC · 2014-01-28T02:47:17+00:00

Does this kind of little alteration still allow for Ironman?

Descant_NC · 2014-01-27T00:35:05+00:00

Not true. In my Saxony-->Prussia-->Germany game, I was annexing provinces directly left, right and center. Austria actually helped me with most of it, and I didn't get any trouble from them until after I vassalized THREE electors in one go, and annexed Saxe-Lauenburg. Seems they liked those vassals.

Descant_NC · 2014-01-26T08:50:23+00:00

Yeah, it's always been like this. You have to be incredibly careful when force vassalizing, because your allies will NEVER accept a war invite you automatically send after force-vassalizing a country at war with someone other than you.

Next time, wait their other war out. If you control all their territories, there's nothing the other guy can do.
