Am i missing something new regarding 'annex vassal'?

[Westphalian]

Hello Guys,

im playing as Ottos and recently annexed a vassal, now i want to annex the next one and something new (at least to me) happens:

Does it have anything to do with this modifier?

If it is a bug, please move it to the right folder.

Its intentional, each time you annex/integrate a subject you get an event which gives the "Annexed Subject" modifier for X years (don't remember exact amount).
It has been in the game ever since I started playing (pre-art of war) and I believe it have always been there.

Maybe you've not encountered a problem with this before because of that you've possibly integrated subjects later in the game when having a higher overall diplomatic reputation?

All in all its intentional to stop rapid integration of subjects from what I understand.

Do you have a core on Trebizond? If so, that's why you don't need to pay for it to be integrated. I didn't know this either until I wanted to integrate Athens as Byzantium and noticed the same as you did. It's WAD as far as I know.

Been like this for a long time.

The more diplomatic reputation you have the more diplo points will be spent each month to annex a vassal or integrate a PU which will make it happen faster. Whenever you annex a vassal you'll get a -3 diplo rep modifier for 10 years making it take longer to annex other vassals, and not allowing you to annex at all if you have no dip rep.

If you have the spare diplomats and a lot of diplo points stored you can always annex 2 vassals at the same time (or more depending on the cost and diplomats you have) but they must be annexed within 3 months of each other.

Do you have a core on Trebizond? If so, that's why you don't need to pay for it to be integrated. I didn't know this either until I wanted to integrate Athens as Byzantium and noticed the same as you did. It's WAD as far as I know.

Ottomans don't start with core on them. Only on Albania now.

Vassal annex speed is dip rep + 1 for same religion +1 for same culture if applicable. Finishing an annexation gives -3 dip rep for 10 years. Early game, that basically completely pauses any annexation in progress; late game with Dip and Inf ideas filled out you'll be able to ignore it because your base dip rep will be so high.
