Iberian Wedding: Castile's Pu Complications

The Iberian Wedding, also known as the Iberian Union, was a historic dynastic union between the kingdoms of Spain and Aragon, bringing the entire Iberian peninsula under Habsburg rule. The event can occur in the game Europa Universalis IV when playing as Castile, provided certain conditions are met. These include Castile having a certain number of provinces, not being at war with Aragon, and the year being between 1450 and 1530.

If Castile is a lesser partner in a Personal Union (PU), the Iberian Wedding event cannot occur as Castile cannot be a subject. However, if Castile is under a Personal Union with another nation, the event can still take place.

The Iberian Wedding is a historic dynastic union between the kingdoms of Spain and Aragon

The Iberian Wedding, also known as the Iberian Union, was a historic dynastic union between the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon, which brought the entire Iberian peninsula under Habsburg rule. The union was the result of a marriage of political opportunism between Ferdinand II of Aragon and Princess Isabella of Castile in 1469. The marriage initiated a troubled life, in which Ferdinand fought on the Castilian and Aragonese fronts to impose his authority over the noble oligarchies. Despite the political nature of the union, Ferdinand loved Isabella sincerely.

The Iberian Wedding can be triggered in the game Europa Universalis IV, a grand strategy game that aims to replicate historical events, when certain conditions are met. In the game, the player can choose to "bind their dynasty" to the other nation, forming a personal union, or to "marry a local talent". The first option is more appealing as it results in a powerful personal union.

The requirements for triggering the event in the game include the nations being independent, possessing a certain number of provinces, not being at war with each other, being neighbours, and the year being between 1450 and 1530. Additionally, either the rulers of Castile and Aragon must be of different genders or the AI-controlled nation must have a regency council.

The Iberian Union, in history, was a significant event that united the Iberian peninsula and had long-lasting repercussions.

The event can be triggered in the game Europa Universalis 4

The Iberian Wedding is an event in the game Europa Universalis 4 that can be triggered when certain conditions are met. The event represents the historic dynastic union between the kingdoms of Spain and Aragon, which saw the entire Iberian peninsula come under Habsburg rule.

For the nation of Castile, the event can be triggered when the following requirements are fulfilled:

• Castile must be independent and not the subject of another nation.
• Castile must have a certain number of provinces (at least 25 to trigger the event).
• Castile must not be at war with Aragon and must be neighbouring Aragon.
• The ruler of Castile must be of a different gender to the ruler of Aragon.
• The year in the game must be between 1450 and 1530.

Additionally, there are two further conditions, only one of which needs to be met for the event to be triggered:

• The ruler of Castile must have a regency council.
• Aragon must also have a regency council.

Once these conditions are met, the event has a stacking chance of being triggered as time goes on. On average, it takes around 12 years for the event to be triggered after the conditions have been met. If the rulers of Castile and Aragon are of different genders, the event will be triggered slightly faster on average compared to if Castile has a regency council.

It is important to note that the event can also happen for Aragon, but only if Aragon is being played by the player and is not controlled by an AI. When the event is triggered, the player will have the option to either bind their dynasty to Castile or marry a local talent. Choosing to bind their dynasty to Castile will result in a personal union with Castile, where Aragon will become the leader.

The Iberian Wedding event is a significant mechanic in the game, providing an opportunity for players to form a powerful union and gain control over the Iberian peninsula.

Castile requires 25 provinces to trigger the event

For the Iberian Wedding event to be triggered in Europa Universalis IV, Castile must meet a set of requirements. One of these is that Castile must have at least 25 provinces. This is one of the most important conditions that must be satisfied for the event to occur.

The Iberian Wedding event represents the historic dynastic union between the kingdoms of Spain and Aragon, which brought the entire Iberian peninsula under Habsburg rule. In the game, when the event is triggered, the player receives two options: they can choose to bind their dynasty to Aragon's, or they can decide to marry a local talent instead. If the player chooses the first option, they will become the leader of a union with Aragon.

There are several other conditions that must be met for the event to be triggered. Both countries must be independent, not subjects of another nation. They must also be neighbours, and the year in the game must be between 1450 and 1530. Additionally, Castile and Aragon must not be at war with each other, and Aragon must not be the war leader in its own war.

Furthermore, there are two trigger conditions that will cause the event to fire. Only one of the following must be true: the rulers of Castile and Aragon must be of different genders, or the AI-controlled nation must have a regency council. As long as one of these conditions is met, the event can occur. It's worth noting that Castile being in a personal union does not prevent the event from being triggered.

Aragon must not be a player-controlled nation

For the Iberian Wedding to occur, Aragon must not be a player-controlled nation. It must be controlled by AI. This is one of the requirements for the event to fire.

The Iberian Wedding is a historic dynastic union between the kingdoms of Spain and Aragon, which brought the entire Iberian peninsula under Habsburg rule. In the game, the event can happen for the nation of Castile when certain requirements are met. It can also happen for Aragon, but only if Aragon is being played by the player and isn't controlled by an AI. When the event fires, the player receives two options:

> Let us bind their Dynasty to ours

> No, let us marry a local talent instead

The first option is what most players will want as it's the one that forms a Personal Union with the other nation. If you are playing as Castile, you will become the leader of a union with Aragon. If you are playing as Aragon, you will instead become the leader in a union with Castile.

There are a variety of conditions that must be met before the game will consider triggering the Iberian Wedding. Both countries must be independent and neighbours. Castile requires 25 provinces to trigger the event, while Aragon requires 16. You must not be at war with the target country, and they must not be the war leader in their own war. The year must be between 1450 and 1530.

Once these conditions are met, there are two trigger conditions for the event to actually fire. Only one of the following must be true: the rulers of Castile and Aragon must be of different genders, or the AI-controlled nation currently has a regency council.

As far as influencing the factors to get the event to trigger, there is not much you can do in the grand scheme of things. You can try abdicating the throne or disinheriting your heir if your rulers' genders don't match up for the event, but this can always go wrong if the other nation's ruler dies unexpectedly. You could also make an effort to ally the other nation (if they haven't made you their rival) to influence how likely they are to go to war.

The year must be between 1450 and 1530

The Iberian Wedding is an event in Europa Universalis 4 that can happen for the nation of Castile when certain requirements are met. It can also happen for Aragon, but only if Aragon is being played by the player and isn't controlled by an AI. When the event fires, the player receives two options: to bind their dynasty to Aragon's or to marry a local talent instead. The first option will result in a personal union with the other nation, with Castile as the leader if the player is playing as Castile.

The Iberian Wedding event has a stacking chance of firing as time goes on, and once the conditions are met, it will take an average of 12 years to occur. While players have limited influence over the factors that trigger the event, they can try to abdicate the throne or disinherit their heir if their rulers' genders don't match up. However, this carries the risk of the other nation's ruler dying unexpectedly.

It's worth noting that Castile cannot be a subject, which means neither a vassal nor a personal union, for the event to be activated. If Castile is already in a personal union, the event cannot occur.
