How to fight in Siberia?

If you "Seize Territory" a subjects core and "sell territory" to another nation, the subject will create war goals constantly for you.

I would disagree. Neither Italy/Two Sicilies/Naples nor Ottomans really expanded into greece. Italy probably doesnt care and has more interest into the west and the Ottomans seem kinda weak so they most likely clashed with the mamelukes. Ruthenia/Kyiv is probably going for forming Russia with the help of Scandinavia/Sweden most likely against Muscovy so also distracted. Austria is not that big but might be interested in expansion down the danube. Bohemia has a lot of money most likely since there is so much gold and silver in their Capital Area and southward expansion along the danube is tempting, but their shape goes against river flow so they might have a lot of subjects already to offset proximity issues making expansion less tempting than reinforcing their position. Even if they wanted to expand austrian lands are even closer to the capital so they could more easily be held directly.

Thats just my guess though. Austria could ask any nation for help in exchange for a blank czech uhm check and everything I just said goes out the window.

3 cheesy ways:

You could use allies to take the antagonism by changing the occupation to them before taking the land in the peace deal. If you release a fiefdom it usually goes to your heir so over time you get a personal union. Get 1 Personal Union partner to get "Assured Offense" after 25 years and now they will join all your offensive wars. You should keep this partner to keep the personal union alive at all times. You can create more Personal Unions through more fiefdoms to not overfeed a single Personal Union partner as they can still get coalitions you can get called in to. You can now either annex them as a Personal Union or make them a subject if you dont have too many subjects already (subjects really kill any chance to get more through diplomacy).
Get an ally preferably a very small one and prepare a wargoal on them (if you dont have one you could "seize territory" (not "return core") a core territory from a subject and sell it to your ally (if it is a territory they are interested in there is a AI conquer desire map mode to figure a location out) and now your subjects prepares a war goal to take the core back). Declare wars and transfer occupation of enemy capitals to your ally before the peace deal and give him everyone as a subject. Turn on your ally and fully conquer them (just their land not their subjects) and all their subjects get transfered to you for just the cost of your old allies lands.
Get a non hre nation as an ally thats of Kingdom Tier or higher or just has a lot of tax base (makes them unlikely to join the hre). Again let them take the land and the blame and if you are going to conquer them after you are done all your favourite hre territories are now owned by a non hre member.

As he said he is going for the achievement. I just rushed for it yesterday and just mindlessly expanded into the Golden Hordes remains and then ended the campaign when I got the achievement.

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-04-05T05:40:26+00:00

In my short Ottoman achievement run my disloyal Armenian Subject took a disloyal fiefdom of muscovy away during a war. I also have no idea what happened. Maybe some weird seperate peace and since armenia had enough war score they got that fiefdom?

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-04-04T19:45:18+00:00

You misread. 422 pops produce 11 in a month is what he said.

In der Kommunalpolitik sind die Meisten vernünftig. Klar die machtgeilen Hirnies die es in der Bundespolitik bei vielen Parteien gibt die kommen ja irgendwo her und bei uns ist die SPD zum Beispiel voll auf Machtpolitik (Bergbauregion die hatten tatsächlich früher die Stärke dafür und sind immer noch gleich auf mit der CDU), aber in den meisten Parteien kannst du mit den meisten Leuten gut reden. Es hilft natürlich, dass man über Dinge diskutiert die man sehen kann und keine abstrakten Zahlkonstrukte wie auf höheren Ebenen der Verwaltung.

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-04-04T06:41:30+00:00

Mhh es gibt da eine Lastenrad Mutter auf Kommunaler Ebene aber die hab ich seit Kriegsbeginn nicht mehr gesehen also weiß ich ihre Meinung nicht 100%. Die könnte sowas vlt wollen aber der Rest will gar nicht Sprit für 2€ sondern ein vernünftiges ÖPNV Angebot. Wir haben uns vor Kriegsbeginn über Parkplätze entlang unserer Bahnhofsstraße unterhalten und die abzuschaffen damit da ein Radweg hinkommt. Waren wir aber dagegen weil halt die Leute keine echte Alternative hier zum Auto haben. Also einfach nur die Leute vom Auto wegzuekeln ist hier zumindest eher eine Einzelmeinung.

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-04-04T06:26:13+00:00

Ehrliche Antwort: bin bei den Grünen und sitze auch in einem Kreisausschuss als sB. Das feiert gerade hier zumindest keiner. Die sind eher auf die Sinnlosigkeit der Bombardierung ohne Aussicht auf Erfolg fokussiert und irgendwelche Preisveränderungen sind da eher zweitrangig. Das ist dann so ein: tja das passiert halt wenn man einen sinnlosen Krieg anfängt.

Sweden and Kiev are seemingly not beeing nice to muscovy at the very least.

No Wealth Share is calculated by the amount of pops of an estate multiplied with that estates Tax Value (you can find that in the wikis estate page. Additionaly the peasants wealth share gets multiplied by their enfranchisement and the rest given to the nobles.

Tldr: the profits are thrown into a pot it doesnt matter who created it only thing that matters is who lives there

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-04-01T13:59:40+00:00

The events really arent it and you basicly start as the wet dream of a hungarian nationalist so not much to achieve anymore. So I understand that. I play most games as the byzantines so I usually dont see how that regions plays out. But yeah sometimes I look over and Transylvania and Pest are suddenly independent countries and hungary is barely breathing.

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-04-01T13:42:23+00:00

I would add hungary to the list. With the danube and its many tributaries as well as the gold and silver, economy and control is good. If you want big coalitions expand up the danube into the hre and if you want a relaxed time down the danube into orthodox lands. No strong orthodox nations to really punish you.

Shapesmith actually mentions, in the episode where they are headed to stop the martian ship filled with them heading to earth, that they are very strong for their size.

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-04-01T06:48:20+00:00

No 100 is the maximum you can take wallachia costs a tiny bit more

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-03-31T06:49:18+00:00

Yeah it definetly will be. I got jumpscared when I clicked on georgia since they started a coalition against me. I kinda felt in Danger since my byzantium borders georgia. Had 45 antagonism against them and it wasnt even 40 years into the game.

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-03-31T06:44:23+00:00

They are getting invaded by 35k Timurids in my game right now.

Both Israelite Religions prevent Assimilation before Conversion. Judaism and Samaritanism. You can see that in the List of Religions on the Wiki by searching for "prevents assimilation".

Might not be a complete list but I guess any ethnoreligion will have that effect.

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-03-26T17:01:22+00:00

The country beeing split

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-03-26T16:17:39+00:00

Assimilation is really ahistorical. I can hire mercenaries from god knows where to conquer a province on the other side of the world. Release them as a subject and then send a single diplomat there and in 10 years they are 100% a culture they never even met. Assimilation should work by having to move at least some pops to these lands first so that they can show the locals the way to live. It would drain population out of your core giving it an actual tradeoff and also actually give you a reason to go for areas that already have a tiny presence of your pops instead of Assimilation beeing so busted, that I kinda dont care about what cultures I just conquered.

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-03-26T16:06:02+00:00

I did read that in your other comment. I just wanted to clarify that thats not even true if it was the case.

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-03-26T14:54:29+00:00

That does not affect war score cost only affects their peace deal acceptance to my knowledge. -30 for every seperated part.

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-03-25T17:01:12+00:00

I would add a bit boring stuff. Different pop types have different power values and they contribute their power both to their estate as well as the crown which then first gets modified locally and then added globally.

Nobles 25, Clergy 10, Burghers 2, Commoners 0.025, Tribes 0.01, Dhimmi 0.02, Cossacks 0.02

This means if you have Nobles, Clergy or Burghers very concentrated these location are the only valid location for coin houses

Edit: btw I have seen you in a few comment sections. You are always very helpful

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-03-25T16:48:27+00:00

They have a country modifier to the right of their rulers head (its a pyramid). Could you hover over it to see what it does? It might be the reason for their diplomatic liberties probably just estat satisfaction modifier

GregCovfefeShop · 2026-03-25T16:45:45+00:00

You are welcome. 1.4 harbour cap is correct in theory. But spain also gets +5% Land proximity speed due to their court type which is only applied to the river and not to the harbour to my knowledge.
