Court and Country help.

[alan_buchbach]

I've never gotten to this late in the game before - typically the game is patched before I reach 1600 - and I've read that I need to make this disaster fire if I want to WC.

I have no current disasters.
It is the Age of Absolutism.
I have >50 Absolutism.
I am at War.
My stability is <3.

But my unrest is not 'at least 1' even though I have 60% over extention for +3 unrest and no other unrest factors at present. What else can give a national /global unrest penalty to make this event chain fire?

[alan_buchbach]

I reduced my legitimacy to 0 and started no CB wars to raise war exhaustion and lower stab. Still can't get that unrest above 1. This is BS! lol

[alan_buchbach]

my autonomy is at 0. But isn't that local unrest only, not the national/global that I need for the disaster?

You need the national unrest. what is reducing your national unrest?

My dear friend,

Court and Country is 100% not required anymore these days - unless you want to play as a republic past 1600.

All you need is 100 max absolutism. If you already have that, DO NOT go for court and country.

Theres 2 new monuments that give 10 max abso each, one is in Hormuz and one in Japan I think.

The Nizwa fort is near Hormuz, yes. It's great--it has no requirements and is centrally located so pretty much anyone can take advantage of it. The Imperial City of Kyoto is in Japan and demands that you accept its culture, so it's a bit harder for a western nation to take advantage of. Then there are some others that have very specific requirements (like being France) or that just boost yearly absolutism gain.

But yeah, Court and Country is completely optional. It can give you a cushion that allows you to do things like run more estate privileges, but if you're willing to revoke everything but the monarch point generators and maybe one or two more, it's not at all mandatory.

Reforms: Imperial Austrian Monarchy gives -2 global. 6 books of the republic is another -1.
Trading in Wine: -1
So that's -4 global. But I've pushed my overextension to 100% giving me 5%, still not enough.

Not sure if Tolerance and various modifiers to my capital also count. (eg Reichsregiment -2 for being an empire province and religious society -1 etc).

Monuments must come from a DLC I don't own.

I don't have 100 max absolutism, when I get my final government reform I think that will take me to around 80. (I will pick the absolutism and 2.5% admin efficiency reform).

AFAIK only the unrest which shows up in the stability tab should count. Can you post a screenshot of its tooltip? And a tooltip of the disaster icon to show which of its conditions are not fulfilled.
You could try another no-cb war. Its stability loss and war exhaustion would be helpful to increase your unrest. But make sure that your national unrest stays above 1 while the disaster ticks to 100.

That would be Leviathan. It's fantastic, one of my top DLCs. Monuments add a wonderful new strategic layer to the game in addition to providing a major gold sink. And there are other good features as well, like the new favor mechanics it introduced.

Considering that the fastest WCs all finished well before absolutism is unlocked I would say that 100% being required for one is a complete falsehood...

[alan_buchbach]

I managed to get the disaster to start ticking. I awarded some privs and then revoked them along side sell titles / seize land to make my estates disloyal for extra unrest. Never thought it would be this hard to create unrest.

[alan_buchbach]

King died. Heir had strong claim (93 legit). Immediately ended my disaster ticking even though unrest going below 1 isn't listed among criteria to stop it.

I give up on making this proc. I'll just try to WC without it.

[RCMidas]

National unrest dropping below 1, even to 0.99, will reset the disaster, yes. The problem is that this condition is shared with the ostensible "-1% monthly progress if national unrest is below 1" factor that is immediately shown when hovering over it. All three of those conditions have the same effect actually, which suggests a copy-paste oversight of some kind.

Never mind, you'll know for next time.
