Originally posted by AThousandYoungYes. Without going to the trouble of re-reading the rules, the limit in NE, I think, is 5 provinces. But if you start off the game with more than 5 provinces annexed to your name, then you can exceed that total. But you wouldn't be allowed to annex any more unless you became royal.
I own 11 provinces (for the moment anyway). Let's hypothesize a situation where my fleet did not turn tail and flee from a winning fight, and that I managed to attack something (like part of Norway or France or something) and win. Do I need to pay for Royalty status in NE in order to annex my 12th province?
But you don't need to worry about that. You're never going to get off your accursed island.

Originally posted by rwingettI'm sure it's a lot more like 12 or 13. In MD, it's 7.

Originally posted by no1marauderHmm. I'll find out after this turn. I don't get an error message, but you may be right.
The game wouldn't let me annex any provinces at all that I had taken; it said my limit was 6 (the number I started with as Prussia).
I think this game may be a bit bit buggy. I'll tell why a bit later

Originally posted by AThousandYoungIn MD, I lost Istria, an annexed province, for a turn and when I re-took it the next it was still annexed to me. I believe you have three turns to recapture an annexed province unless the owner annexes it to his own realm in the meantime. After that, I think the limit on annexed provinces is a total for each turn, so I assume you could re-annex a province so long as the total of your other annexed provinces wasn't at the limit.
What if, I don't know, let's make up some wildly unlikely scenario - suppose Napoleonic marines were to land somewhere in Britain or Ireland. Would I be able to re-annex lands they took that were un-annexed to me?

Originally posted by no1marauderThe problem is that in NE I began with higher than my allotted limit. So, if my initial territories get taken away and annexed to France, I am worried the game will tell me I can't reannex them if I take them back.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungIf I took your filthy provinces, and if I held them long enough to annex them, then they would be lost to you unless you upgraded to royalty. But as No1 points out, if I do not annex them, they will remain annexed to you for 3 turns before you lose the rights to them.

Although I must say, the thought of treading on your cursed English soil gives me a reaction akin to the one Yosemite Sam has when he treads north of the Mason Dixon line.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungThis is very confusing. I've gone through the rulebook and it does not address this question at all (and in fact says you're limited to 4). I think I started with 11 or so annexed provinces but am supposedly limited to 6. Then I issued a command to annex a province and did not get an error message, so it really is not clear.

Originally posted by buffalobillWe'll see tomorrow I suppose. Be warned however, in MD I ordered a Commander early in the game, before I became Royal, and I got no error message - but the next turn, I had no Commander.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungDid you lose gold? I presume not because the order did not go through. Anyway, I cancelled the annexation and built more troops until I understand better.

Maybe our limits are the same as what we start with? So, if I lost one territory but took Brittany, I could then annex Brittany.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungI don't know either. Could it be what you started with as in x + 6?

EDIT: I doubt this.
