How much is enough to buy territory?

[Skott]

Cheapest price I have seen for land I wanted was 79,000 and the seller wanted a bunch of tech too. In most cases tech and land swap is required along with money. If you want to make 40,000+ per turn just go capture all of India. So far capturing India is the fastest way I have found to make massive wealth in trade and taxes. So far with my current Dutch faction campaign I rarely fall below 250,000 cash in my bank. I havent been able to buy New York yet. They just won't sell. The most I have offered so far though is 100,000 and some tech. Maybe I'll try 150,000 just to see if they'll sell. At that price though I think I'd rather invade considering I've already taken France and Spain and all their colonies.

Oftentimes, I find that a tad bit of blood and iron is more than enough to buy a wealthy province.

Pff...

The new diplomacy stuff also has a "meekness" factor in there as well. Defeating someone in a lot of battles will make them more conceding to one-sided offers. But I think the smaller nations should have a bit of this as a fixed amount. I had conquered France, Iberia, and Germany as Great Britain, and Denmark refused all my offers for Iceland.

In my recently completed UP campaign Venice declared war on me after I conquered Naples, So i sieged it. I beat their sally back, but a unit escaped with enough men to keep a garrison. Then my ally Genoa comes in and jacks the province from me! I then bought it for, no lie, 1 million. they wouldn't go lower. Every other province I bought ( New York, Goa, New Andulisia or whatever Colombia is called) for 300k or less. Of course 1 million was only about 1/10 of my treasury at this point so it didn't really matter.
