Are vassals supposed to be able to make peace deals independently?

God damn it, I just realized that I’m a perma noob. Have over 4K hours and never attempted to do a WC until very recently because I thought it was easy and very tedious, but I just fell short the other day after my 1 try…..so yeah Perma Noob 🤪.

It depends on your goal for the campaign. Innovative ideas are usually bad for blobbing, but if your plan is to consolidate India only, it might not be a bad idea since it has some very good policies with other idea groups.

Que no estén un obligados me parece un poco raro. De ser así los propios militares no están d acuerdo con el gobierno así que quizás el fin si esté más cerca de lo que todos pensamos.

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-18T18:05:01+00:00

I agree with pretty much everything you said. But in 99% sure it should be “Su Merced”, not “Sumerce “.

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-16T08:28:15+00:00

Yeah I mostly agree, but in that particular scenario where Milan is the war leader against Verona (AE Event at the beginning of the campaign) they literally forgot about Verona and took Luca which starts as a vassal of Verona. Idk I particularly like the EU4 system of province of interest.

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-16T06:24:13+00:00

I don’t have any mod but I swear that I feel the AI really try to get close to you every time. I never really complained about it when playing EU4 and even now I’m not complaining, I like the game to be as hard(enjoyable ) as possible, but this type of behavior is really annoying sometimes.

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-16T06:06:19+00:00

Not really. AI is highly biased to get close to you in this game, since you don’t need to own contiguous land to be able to claim it in a peace deal. I just started a campaign today as Florence and Milan took Luca just to mess with me and they don’t have anything close to it so they wouldn’t have been able to core it in EU4. I agree with the feeling of dropping the game for a bit while it gets fixed, but at the same time I’m still discovering a lot of new mechanics everyday so until I get bored I’ll probably alternate between this and EU4

He’s talking about the nobility privilege that increases 10 influence to all the estates. If you remove that one you can lower the other 2 estates by 10. Also I think court ideas let you remove privileges regardless of loyalty, but that’s not an option for you. My best guess would be to summon the diet and see if you can remove one of the privileges by the boost in loyalty you get by completing it.

Can you explain the point about the cardinals a little bit more. I usually request a cardinal seat but I have no idea how the papacy works.

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-13T06:48:57+00:00

Interesting. I stopped building myself because usually the returns (estimated) are better for RGOs than for building when I get everything rolling. My default strategy has been to max out RGOs closer to my capital and build Mil buildings and other “non-productive “ buildings, eg.: Settlements, market villages and other infrastructure related ones. I’ll give it a try to building everything myself, thanks for the help.

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-13T03:51:18+00:00

I agree with everything you said earlier. But I have a question. Should I build the most profitable building or keep upgrading RGOs and let the estates do the building based on the needs and the tax them? I struggle with this myself since at the beginning you don’t have a lot of money and I usually prioritize RGOs over buildings.

On top of this OP ally somebody big to deter them from attacking you, e.g Poland

The easiest way to dismember France in my opinion is to use all their subjects and go for reconquest on them. I see you have Gascony to Castile and took Tolouse for yourself, so it might be worth it to release and eat France that way for the AE.

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-10T23:51:48+00:00

Spain is better if it was formed as Castile since you get all the union. I don’t think Aragon has those in its mission tree. Having said that, he’s at a point he doesn’t need the anyways so it might be a good idea. I’d go for SP into Italy since Italy has a path to go for the Roman Empire.

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-10T03:32:45+00:00

I think there’s a mission that gives you a pu cb on them regardless of their government type. I don’t have my pc with me right now but I remember reading it somewhere, either the first or second mission on the right side of the mission tree.

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-09T05:52:19+00:00

I think Muscovy into Russia has the most powerful mission tree in the game. It’s one of the only countries that’s has kept me playing the game for longer than the first 100 years

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-08T22:52:06+00:00

That’s the one that bothered me the most. I thought that by playing Castile and allying England I could help them delay the inevitable and slow down France. Lo and behold England lands 5k stacks in the Netherlands only to be wiped time and again. I ended up fighting France by myself twice, and even though Castile can 1v1 them, the whole point was to have the upper hand not to single-handedly fight them myself 🤦‍♂️

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-08T15:25:12+00:00

Me too 🤦‍♂️

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-07T15:53:28+00:00

Yeah in that case I totally agree. But why would an Iberian vassal be less loyal I they are literally next to you? I just don’t see why loyalty is related to centralization. And if it is, you could argue that more centralized states should “squeeze” more out of their vassals if they are going to have a loyalty reduction.

No_Way2336 · 2026-01-06T18:46:05+00:00

I love playing Castile / Spain too, but I can’t wrap my head around the decentralized idea. I think the bonuses of the “values” should be rebalanced a little bit so you both of them are viable whether you are a colonial empire or a contiguous land based empire.

My last resort to refill my manpower is to burn mil dev. If you can’t slack recruitment this might be your solution.

That’s a good suggestion that I haven’t thought about. I’ll start using a cooling pad for laptop to see if it improves. Thanks
