    Default FD Giving and taking

    Can anyone give me a simple, easy to follow guide to how to take and give provinces/settlements from and to other factions? I couldnt find one to give me a detailed simple guide after searching...is it as i feared and just as simple as using FD to make one faction give me a settlement, then i use FD again to give it to another?
    Ta in advance

    I don't use FD, but this works fine for me:

    Offer the faction you want the settlement from 40000 mnai for it. They will agree to this most of the time. Then give it to the faction you want to have it as a gift with 10000 mnai.

    You can of course use "add_money 40000" for yourself and "add_money internalfactionname, -40000", if you don't want the faction to have the money.

    That's basically it, yeah. I've found sometimes though the receiving faction won't take a gifted settlement without giving some money to them and asking for map info in return.

    Also move_characters is helpful to facilitate gifting as well.

    Also, when I feel a faction is not expanding into certain rebel settlements (i'm looking at you KH and why you never take Crete), I create_unit siege engine, use move_character to transport it. Attack settlement, auto_win attacker and then gift the settlement to the faction.

    Read The House of Seleukos: The History of the Arche Seleukeia
    for an in-depth and fascinating history of the heirs of Seleukos Nikator.

    You don't usually need to use FD to give a province away, just give it with a gift of 10,000 mnai and they'll usually take it. Multiple provinces sometimes requires more than one dialogue to give them away; most factions for example, won't take five provinces with 10,000 mnai in one go.

    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR

    Since I usually play without FOW I find it easier to offer/demand map information instead of money. No fooling around with my economy and they always accept.

    And please remember to create_unit some additional garrisons for those whose regions you change, the rebellions cause a lot of crashes, and relogging to the main menu, while not necessary, resets the AI´s strategy to better utilize its new possesions. I also often use the freed slaves and such which I gain upon taking over the province to clear the area of any armies belonging to the faction which previously held it, then disband them and force a ceasefire.

    The accept or we will attack diplomacy option is also effective if you would like to avoid bestowing more money to a faction, although most factions could need some money after such an exchange, to install a new government and pay for the additional troops which expense often exceeds what the newly gained settlement can provide in the beginning. And you could always take the money back via the console if needed of course.
