In CK2 you can edit the game files and make it so you can play as the Pope, right? I feel like it would be kind of screwy and it wouldn't really work. Worth a try?
Should I use Death and Taxes for EU3?

Also I think a good addition would be multilateral alliances (like an alliance between X, Y and Z, all in one alliance instead of X being allied with Y and Z and Y being allied with Z and X and so on).

And cascading alliances should be toned down. If you have a CB for starting a war the chance to respond to a COA should be lowered depending on how good the CB is. The attacking nation should be able to COA, none of his allies should (I think this is the case), the defending nation should be able to COA and his allies should also, if someone denies his allies COA it shouldn't end the alliance, because they aren't directly involved in the war. The rest should just get alliance CBs.

This sort of example is why I feel the ability to call allies into wars should include some "range" limitations.
Possibly something like: you can only call a nation to arms if one of the following is true:
1. The nation called to arms share a border with a nation already participating in the war (or with the empire, if the emperor is involved).
2. The nation called to arms share a border with the empire, and the emperor is involved in the war.
3. The nation called to arm consider at least one of the enemies in the fight a rival or a threat.
4. The nation called to arm and the nation calling to arm are both member of the HRE (or the emperor) or daimyo.
5. The nation called to arm has a casus belli (NOT alliance, obviously) on the enemy leader.
(Of course, personal unions and vassals are not concerned by the above rules).
Otherwise the "Call to Arms" option should probably be replaced/complemented with a "Request Assistance" option - kind of like a reverse "War subsidies" option where you ask your allies for war subsidies instead of being offered it.

Man, I'm fucked now. Playing as Leinster, only about twenty years in. I was conquering Ireland and JUST as I was about to declare war on Connaught, they go and attack England! England swoops in, destroys they army, over takes Connaught, (while retaining Meath) and I'm sitting here like "Well fuck."
I'm trying to form an alliance with France and Scotland to avoid Portugal and Brittany coming and fucking me up the ass.

Well. . just realized DW was released in 2011, so it's probably not getting fixed. Does setting AI aggressiveness to low alleviate this?
oh and also, I'm seriously on the cuff for money. I'm afraid of buying into CoTs because it will drain my ducats trying to stay afloat where I'm actually making money.
Any ideas?

The only thing that really bothers me much is when a bunch of one province minors declare war, then start spamming me with peace demands.
"We will give you peace if you give us 300 ducats, release all your vassals, and annul treaties with all your allies"
What the fuck? You are halfway across Europe, I haven't even fought one of your armies yet, and you are demanding a bunch of absurd shit from me.
I invaded France as Ireland and took over half of it and I noticed that all these random germanic and italian states were wanting me to pay 1500 ducats and I was like "What the fuck, I didn't even know I was at war with you"

You could declare war on some random country then raise war taxes. It will make your war exhaustion shoot through roof but you will make some money.
Easiest way to make money is to conquer every single center of trade in Europe and establish yourself as a monopoly in each of them.
Thats late game shit though.
I wouldn't call that the easiest way.
I would say colonization is the easiest way to make long term money. After you stop paying colonial upkeep and the province cores you make some decent money(assuming it's a province with tobacco, sugar, or other luxury good).
[editline]4th June 2012[/editline]
But raising war taxes is the easiest way to make short term money if you are careful not to collapse your nation.
Well I'm working towards world domination, and I'm raking in the money and power.
I've completely subjugated England, Northern and Southern France (with the french and random countries in the middle), I've taken all of Northwestern Africa, most of portugal, and the southern coast of Castille and I'm just getting started.
Oddly enough Sweden and the Holy Romans are the only two superpowers that are close to me, Sweden is next since I want Iceland.
It all gets really easy after you literally have over 100k men able to be conscripted.

The EU3 peace AI are retarded. Somehow answering a call to arms against someone they can't even invade gives them the right to ask for absurd amounts of cash.
I had an even stupider situation one time. I formed Italy and was allied with Switzerland, who somehow got into a war with Portugal. After the war went on for a while, Switzerland called me into the war, I took over the defence, and they cut a deal with Portugal to get out. I was left with a -40% warscore as soon as I entered and Portugal saw it reasonable to demand I release all my constituent states. Needless to say, I occupied all their mainland provinces in response to this insult.

I was playing as Muscowy once against all the Nordic countries and they were allied with Mazovia, who was landlocked between neutral states. Despite me winning the war by a significant amount, Mazovia demanded I release a vassal and paid over 300 ducats despite never even having left their own province.
I was playing as Bavaria, and was allied with Lorraine. We were at war against Austria and trillions of other one province nations that demanded I give them 300 ducats for peace.
Thankfully, Lorraine went and captured them all. Soon, they were offering 6 ducats for peace.

Are there any good save converters for Crusader Kings to Eu3?
I ask because I reached about 1266 as Finland now and I seem ready to convert seemingly.
I didn't know there were converters for CK2 at all.

Oh.
No idea.
How does one deal with huge alliances in EU3? I often can't attack any European country because it's almost every time allied with at least three more and guaranteed by an empire twice bigger than mine and I don't have enough manpower to deal with all of them at once.

I find that the HRE usually doesn't give a shit if I attack small countries that are a part of it. If you finish the war quick enough the other countries won't even have time to do anything about it.

Gotta be fast as lightning, then, as most alliance partners often respond within an in-game week.

I assumed he was talking about smaller counties or duchies that wouldn't really put up that much of a fight. Obviously if you try to conquer France or something their allies will fuck your shit, but if you attack a small province their allies either don't join in because they don't consider it worth the fight, or they don't attack soon enough because they're too far away and/or they don't care enough.
Mind telling us what country you're playing as? It depends if you're attacking a HRE state or something different.
Right now I'm playing as The Papal State, trying to reunion the Italy. I managed to conquer some provinces, but at one point I was in a total shit, with -100 prestige, bankruptcy and because of that last thing, my armies had 0.10 morale, so I couldn't even deal with rebels well enough and lost Modena.
The situation looks like this at the moment:

I could have sworn that peasant rebels demand decentralization as well. I could be mistaken, though.

It wouldn't be logical for peasants to demand decentralization, though.
"Oppress us at the local level!"
Whelp, its around 1946 and I am searching for things to do, Japan rolled up their sleeves and invaded Australia with doomstacks. Meanwhile in order to keep the murderous boredom at bay (I miss the alien invasion option fron HoI 2), I declared war on Bulgaria and gangraped it with my allies.
Still a looong way until nukes, goddamn. So much stuff and so few enemies, I wish this game would give me the option to unite Earth and expand to solarsystem, and then on the next phase on other systems.
So I've been neglecting EU3 for a while, started a game as Lubeck running the MEIOU mod (I can't play EU3 any other way these days) and I keep getting the same two missions; bring England into your trade league and get polish grain trade rights. The trouble is even at the maximum relations both options are set at Impossible. Any ideas of how I can get them to play ball?
