Was glorious in the end of the USA run when 6000 batalions of Florida men was mobilized and almost crashed the game

Quick note to something you said at 5:38; You can actually have multiple plays in your feed and still yoyo sway, so long as none of these plays target you. And you of course still can only yoyo sway one country at a time, but the play doesnt "count" if you are not the target/otherwise involved (meaning being neutral)

Something I had trouble with when first doing the yoyo sway is that you cannot unpause while doing the sway. This is because when you go to the opposite side of your target, after a day, their attitude shifts and they become big mad at you for going against them. This reduces the gains and could even make swaying impossible.

Also, since military power in sway is calculated from attack and defence of the units, always use the best units as conscripts in order to maximize your sway-ability. Full artillery for example.

That's especially a great call since realistically most of these conscripts will NEVER be mobilized, so you don't have to worry about resource availability in the market like you would with the troops you actually use. The conscripts only exist on paper, so make them the most menacing paper tigers the world has ever seen!

@@GregMcNeish Yes, I usually have a dedicated conscript army of only artillery and use all my edicts to increase conscripts when I find a good opportunity to reverse-sway but lack numbers. Three other tips/exploits are: 1. Using edicts on all states to get all possible conscripts, every monday the game checks if you have more conscripts than possible. In other words, from monday to sunday you can go around every state and put an edict and add all conscripts from that state to an army and repeat on every state, and use all those in a sway. 2. If you want to save-scum you can also time it so that you can reverse-sway without relations changing to belligerent, I don't know how to do this reliably without reloading save and finding when the timing works. 3. You can also reverse-sway when already involved in other diplomatic plays or at war if you ask for what you want before joining the opposite side of your target. After two days the ai will make a decision which takes in to account the added military power from you being on the opposite side. The downside is that you will have to go in blind and predict the new military power, I at least don't know how to calculate the new military power.

You can yoyo sway while at war. If you select a thumbs down option that would be thumbs up and switch to the other side before its rejected it gets the yoyo sway modifiers.

Just some observations: 1. When you already have a sway before yoyo-swaying, you get to keep it. 2. One other thing that prevents you from yoyo-swaying is a truce with one of the parties. 3. Don't unpause before yoyo-swaying it makes your victim realise they don't like you threatening them with war. 4. Sometimes it also won't work when near the end of a week, so if a yoyo-sway won't work when it should, wait for the next Monday and try again. 5. Revolutions are ideal for yoyo-swaying because the wargoals are fixed. When you try this in other wars, be prepared for your victim to add wargoals that will lock you in against them, especially when they have claims.

15:30 "Has equal or higher rank than target", in other words the country you want a bankroll from need to be the same rank tier or higher. Rank tier, since you can't be the same rank number.

I don't think it will honestly - I haven't seen devs mention anything remotely around this strat and making conscripts not count for evaluating power would be a rollback to a previous problem where the USA thought it had no power and would back down to everything

Did you know that you can get multiple bankrolls from the same country at the same time? As long as you don't already have an active bankroll from a country you can sway into multiple different diplomatic plays for a bankroll. Great to use with Great Britain. Waiting until GB has multiple diplomatic plays that you can sway into can be better than getting into the first possible diplomatic play and only getting one bankroll for 10 years.

Tried this as Japan after taking over Korea and a couple of Chinese states. National Militia allowed for 800 conscripts. It's absolutely disgusting how easy this makes the game, it seems to work on just about every AI country, even ones that you don't have good relations with. Reckon the devs will nerf this for sure, sadly.
