Another Languish EU3 game? Weeknights EST?

yes, the most evil thing I could have done would be to send him gifts to keep the relationship at 100+.

That would indeed be pretty evil.  Wouldn't that leave him as your bitch for as long as you desired?

Until I inherit him.

I dunno - are insults more effective than gifts? Plus there are other neg relations actions as well.

I think I could DOW you as well to break the union, if I had to.

[DGuller]

Would Berkut really resort to using insults? 

And, no, you can't DOW your PU partner, at least not in single player.  In single player, all you can do is insult the master partner and wait for him to keel over.

Er, you can. The first thing I did in my Holland game is break the alliance with Hainaut and DOW them. That broke the PU. You might need bad relations first, though.

Really?  That must've been changed in some patch then.  When I played Sweden or Brandenburg, both of which start as minor PU bitches, there was nothing that I could do to immediately exit the union.  The ruling monarch had to die or be annexed.

Ah, yes, such was the recourse of berkut to sink to such profanity in diplomatic relations. All that "Your father was a hamster and your mother smelt of elderberries!" stuff didn't feel quite kosher.

So DG, you going to join us in this? Even losing it is a lot of fun.

[Solmyr]

Just tested it, a minor PU partner can break the alliance and then DOW even at high relations, you get a new random ruler upon DOW. Started the game with Holland, Brandenburg, and Sweden and they all can do it.

So far it has only been circling of wagons. A few disasters, but nothing major (apart from AI Spain beating Sweden) and Hansy and Berkut being stuck in regencies and PUs.

France thought that having a few protestants was a catastrophy, Russia couldn't read the decisions menu, Sweden couldn't beat an AI invasion of his countrye, England couldn't find an Englisman to rule the country (Hapsburgs and Douglases the lot of them) and the Ottomans thought that 9 was alot of infamy. I spent the entire first period constantly at war with enemies that I outnumber at least 5 to 1.

I have the Hapsburg diplo bonus, plus the extra diplomats I get from being emperor.

Probably, but only after I get my Windows 7 upgrade in the mail.  My Windows 7 RC has expired, and reboots every 2 hours.

[DGuller]

Actually, I checked the tracking information, and I should have the Windows soon.  I should definitely be squared away by next Wednesday.  What country can I play?

Poland, Denmark, Naples, Castille are non-stupid options. I prefer Castille, the other three are slightly at my mercy.

[Berkut]

Portugal is an option as well, although I think I am going to be at war with them before much longer.

That may be an incentive for you though...
