    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.

    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.

    Understanding Crownland changes from conquest

    Posted: 15 Feb 2021 09:22 AM PST

    When you conquer or annex land, you'll notice that your crownland and estate land usually changes. This is because new land is distributed according to the relative influence of estates and crown compared with the sum total influence, with the crown treated as having 60 influence (pre-absolutism).

    So the influence of any estate can be used to calculate the fraction of land they'll trend towards (which is of little interest to us). What we can do though, is use the sum of all influences to work out what the crown land percentage will trend towards, e.g. to know if crown land will go up or down after conquest:

    Sum of estate influences Crownland Equilibrium =60/(60+sum_of_influences)
    20 75%
    60 50%
    100 38%
    140 30%
    180 25%
    220 21%
    260 19%
    300 17%

    If you're below the equilibrium for your sum of influences, then your crownland will go up when you grab new land, if you're above equilibrium, your crownland will go down.

    So, you can see that anything over a sum of 140 influence may gradually push you under 30%, however, once you get above 200 or so (e.g. 4 estates with 50 influence each) then it doesn't make much of a difference and you'll trend towards high teens or low twenties of crown land (without including reclaim land and development of course).

    Notice that the number of estates doesn't influence things, so having more estates will generally make it harder to boost crownland. 140 is also pretty low even with 3 estates, so I wouldn't necessarily advocate trying to aim for that.

    Another thing to keep in mind is that the movement towards the equilibrium value will be bigger when your country is smaller (and conquered land makes up a bigger percentage of your land) - I noticed this as Byzantium when taking 1 province gave me a boost of over 3% crown land. So a strategy for countries that expand fast in an initial war or two might be to use up crown land for +1mana and money then hold off giving other priviledges till after grabbing a big boost in crown land in that initial war, you might even be able to avoid the statutory rights autonomy cost this way (I haven't tried this yet).

    After absolutism, the crown influence is 60 + absolutism so the numbers change, but estates are much less important then.

    OK it's not a very profound bit of analysis - I don't really think there's a sum of influences you should aim for, but if you're like me and using priviledges a lot and finding crownland grows only very slowly despite regular reclaiming, it might help explain why.
