Get portugal in a union as Spain

[Ares]

How hard is it to get portugal in a union as Spain? I'd like to play historical, and instead of vassaliseing them, rather join our 2 empires between the year 1550-1650, i've read thats when it's possible, so you can't get your dynasty on the throne before that? But if it's very hard then i'll not bother, it's a lot of gametime afterall if it doesnt fire the first time.

There are no events that assist in getting a PU. There are events that raise your relations. So the chance at getting on their throne is the same as any other country. Random. Luck. All that stuff.

There is an event that gives you a PU with Portugal if they get a regency between the year 1550 and 1650, which happend in history.

There is also an event which is named something like "Take that von Habsburgs" where you can put an heir of your dynasty on their country.

On Portugal? I have gotten an event that gives me a Habsburg heir. Take that von Habsburg is actually the achivement you can do as Hungary :)

Set the game up to autopause and notify you when monarch or heir of portugal dies and use the claim throne mechanics. Portugal colonise and explore, so they tend to not go low on prestige.

On anyone who has no heir and is christian and you are married to them. I think you need to have at least 5 marriages or something for it to fire.

5 marriages?

The event is called "Marriage Policies Pay Off".

You need 4 RMs, but you get an additional 0.9 modifier to the mtth for having 6. If your dynasty isn't "von habsburg", the tooltip states the same phrase as for the achievement, hence the confusion.
