Shameless bump for HoD.
What if you could choose what basic territory to give to that nation? Per se, as Turkey, you want to release Bulgaria, but you do not want them to gain Macedonia. When you click to release, a window will pop up showing what territories will be released, and you can click on provinces that will either be added/removed to the state when you click "Release" or "Play As".
It's a strange idea, but it allows players to liberate nations to their design (if they want to keep territory but release a nation to keep peace) (as so if, for example, Japan annexes Manchuria, but wants to release a puppet, save for a few provinces which will remain theirs, they can.)
Example:
(Player) Prussia invades Russia and annexes the two Polish regions.
Notices Poland is too expensive to keep in regards to revolt risk and ethnic issues
Decides to release Poland, but in current Vic2, releasing Poland gives them way too much land.
So with this feature, a window pops up with all the territory you can give Poland (their cores?) and then you can click the ones you want to give, so in this case, the player gives them control of the two regions they took from Russia, while leaving West Prussia and East Prussia, etc. under Prussian authority.
I think they just need to expand the concept of cores. It won't work as well with the current setup.
There needs to be claims, like the Falklands, which might be anything the country once had a hold of or claims region hegemony of, but doesn't fit the next two requirements.
Cultural cores, which, like the Sudetenland, is foreign land with a majority or large minority of your culture.
Diplomatic cores, which like Malta, or Suez, or Hong Kong, is a core that, while not your culture or historical patrimony, has been granted by an agreement between nations and recognized by the world at large.
If you have access to both, nothing. However, you don't always have access to Acquire Core in the cases where you have War of Unification.One thing that bothers me a bit : (I'm using APD)
If Acquire Core CB gets the same land with higher prestige than the War of Unification CB, what's the point of said CB?
If you have access to both, nothing. However, you don't always have access to Acquire Core in the cases where you have War of Unification.
This. Maybe in some kind of mini-mod?Heck, the ideas in this thread are solid. Implement them!
I think you get war of unification if you are a great power, and the cultural union has a core on that area. So, a GP Krakow would have War of Unification wherever P-L had cores.War of Unification's where your primary culture is in area (correct me if I'm wrong)
