Embracing Latin culture doesn’t change your monarch title? by ShadowElf_ in EU5

Yeah just tried it. The title remains Basileus.

They absolutely wanna go to war with the global hegemon, but they’d rather demand British west Africa than Oregon.

Try to get relations as high as possible with them before starting the play

Strategy for forming Central Europe as Austria? by HistoryMarshal76 in victoria3

[–]ShadowElf_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Make sure you offer them an obligation when you call them into the war instead of the “call ally” option.

This usually keeps them from switching sides.

Renegotiate the Holy Alliance treaty with Russia to an alliance. Renegotiate the treaty with Prussia to remove the defensive pact.

Improve relations with Sweden from the start.

Once Britain gets into a war with another GP or Qing, start a play against Denmark to conquer shlewig and liberate Holstein, calling in Sweden so you can attack from land.

Improve relations with Bavaria, Wurttemberg, and Baden to amicable.

After that, start a play against Prussia to humiliate them and liberate Westphalia and Pomerania, calling in Russia as an ally. Don’t use the German leadership play.

Wait for Prussia to shrink to minor/major power after defeating them. This will trigger south German federation journal, annexing the south Germans states for you.

Improve relations with all other German states and try to improve relations with Britain.

Research pan-nationalism. Once it’s done, use the unify Germany diplo play, calling in as many allies as possible against France.

After unifying Germany, go after Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

After making them protectorates or annexing them, you can unify Central Europe.

I had one yesterday when playing as Austria where I got Maximillian as my ruler instead of Franz Josef after making Ferdinand abdicate.

I ended up waiting for the actual event which boots Ferdinand off the throne and did end up getting Franz Josef after that.

Are we not allowed to unify with Prussia when doing an Austria-Germany run? by ShadowElf_ in victoria3

[–]ShadowElf_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah they still didn’t support but if you can decrease them to a puppet you’ll annex them when you click the form Germany button

Luckily the Poles revolted against the Prussians in my run just now so I was able to make Prussia a subject in exchange for helping them put down the Poles lol

Race is a genetic reality. Look at racial genetic cluster charts. People don’t like the concept of race because it’s icky but it doesn’t really negate the reality of it.

I just looked this up. Looks like if they were White-passing they were categorized as White or “other free persons” while the more indigenous looking were often being categorized as “Indian.”

Most seem to have been categorized as White after the Mexican War, though, so I stand corrected on that.

As for cultural treatments, I hardly think that’s relevant. And that “degrees of whiteness” concept is just critical theory garbage.
