musat invasion

[miliniano]

hi is there a way to add your chances to get moldavia as vassal with the event of the invasion of moldavia by roman musat or it's random?

You can edit the event to give you 100%.
I don´t know of any way to do it in ironman.

ive heard but dont know for sure, if you have a larger army than poland/hungry depending who you are playing then its weighted more to come to you

[tavald.musashi]

Are you playing as poland or hungary?

[miliniano]

As hungary you can 1v1 the ottos.

Poland or hungary can get moldavia as a march if allied or guaranteeing.
The odds increase with both.
Also, The polish event asks for money or manpower, poland will not give it if low on both.

You can try to engineer a way to make moldavia fight a war against poland.

That is not true.

There is no Hungarian event to start this chain, only Poland can Support Roman and eventually create march from Moldavia. If Poland does not qualify (in war with Moldavia, not enough money) then event will not start and Hungary can not get Moldavia either.

Alliance or quarantee from either Hungary or Poland has no effect.

Moldavia will pick March under Poland - 65% chance
Moldavia will pick March under Hungary - 20% chance (will not happen if Hungary does not exist, is subject or in war against Moldavia)
Moldavia will remain independent - 15% chance

TL:DR: Save constantinople, stall untill age of reformation.

You can hold the ottos by being Hungary, and not letting them get constantinople.
If one declare war on the other on the first day possible, no allies involved, the ottos have a very small advantage. You as a player should win.
The conquest of constantinople triggers an event and a decision that makes the ottoderps very strong. They get midgame bonus on the early game.

The ottos get the first age bonus after around 10 years, so no fast sieges before it.
The renaissance will spread to constantinople first, then around to the ottos; as bizantium hates them and is hated in return, ottos will take a long time to get the institution, if you saved constantinople.

Enforcing peace on the ottos is also a good idea, you get to weaken them, and slow the expansion.
The best situation would be the first war being against albania. They have a insanelly strong general, just follow him with your troops.
If you manage to ally poland or mameluks, declaring war on promisse of territory before they get the age bonus is ideal.
But the game tends to not be ideal.


When the age of reformation begins, if the ottos don´t have constantinople, you can start the destruction of the ottoman empire.
Know all the stuff about cavalry being bad? well, not for you. 20% cav combat as tradition.
The black army gives you 10% merc discipline. All the stuff about buying only inf as mercs? well, not for you. You like cav mercs now.
Make the ottomans pay, occupy the land and hit the armies, but try to not stackwipe.
If you managed to make them not a great power, they tend to have the janissaire dissaster. It also happens if you keep atacking the finances.

Bizantium is a very strong nation, excelent as a vassal. They have 3% missionary strenght, and is one of the only nations that still convert land as a vassal in the current patch. They also have some nice cores to reconquer.
