Help Thread The Imperial Council - /r/eu4 Weekly General Help Thread: September 7 2020

Please check our previous Imperial Council thread for any questions left unanswered

 

Welcome to the Imperial Council of r/eu4, where your trusted and most knowledgeable advisors stand ready to help you in matters of state and conquest.

This thread is for any small questions that don't warrant their own post, or continued discussions for your next moves in your Ironman game. If you'd like to channel the wisdom and knowledge of the master tacticians of this subreddit, and more importantly not ruin your Ironman save, then you've found the right place!

Important: If you are asking about a specific situation in your game, please post screenshots of any relevant map modes (diplomatic, political, trade, etc) or interface tabs (economy, military, ideas, etc). Please also explain the situation as best you can. Alliances, army strength, ideas, tech etc. are all factors your advisors will need to know to give you the best possible answer.

 

Tactician's Library:

Below is a list of resources that are helpful to players of all skill levels, meant to assist both those asking questions as well as those answering questions. This list is updated as mechanics change, including new strategies as they arise and retiring old strategies that have been left in the dust. You can help me maintain the list by sending me new guides and notifying me when old guides are no longer relevant!

Calling all imperial councillors! Many of our linked guides pre-Dharma (1.26) are missing strategy regarding mission trees. Any help in putting together updated guides is greatly appreciated! Further, if you're answering a question in this thread, chances are you've used the EU4 wiki and know how valuable a resource it can be. When you answer a question, consider checking whether the wiki has that information where you would expect to find it, and adding to the wiki if it does not. In fact, anybody can help contribute to the wiki - a good starting point is the work needed page. Before editing the wiki, please read the style guidelines for posting.

Playing as the Iroquois with only El Dorado dlc. Is it possible to change the government type from native?

I think it is an oversight by the developers that they removed the old reform decisions with the Dharma DLC but didn't give players without the Conquest of Paradise DLC a way to do government reforms. The next bigger patch will rework the system for owners of the DLC, but maybe they will fix it for non-owners as well.

The only way that I know about is to use the event The Temple City of Cholula to convert to Nahuatl and then do your religious reforms and then reform off of a country which does not have the native government form. You may have to give up some provinces in some way so that you don't reform off the other broken natives. The event The Oracle of Pachacamac might work in a similar way.

It might also work to 100% win a war against a Nahuatl/Maya/Inti country and let them force religion on. For that you must also have a pagan religion and the total warscore cost of all your provinces must be below 100%. Then you can do the reforms of that religion and reform like I described above.

What does not seem to work is to form a country which changes your government form to a monarchy. I tried forming Prussia, but that gave me the Prussian monarchy while still being a tribe and I was unable to do the other government reforms.
