Annex pagans all at once or piece by piece?

But stupid me thought I should only annex pagans piece by piece (in order to avoid BB) so I needed quite a while before I had finished off the Incas. Ouch. Well, you never stop learning.

That is what these forums are all about. Look at it this way better to know now than discover it by accident 6 months from now.

(I only noticed that my BB score had increased immensely between the wars in America... I thought it was because of overgreedy annexation... actually it was because I had diploannexed Aragon in 1524 )

I always thought that event annexations should be exempt from BB score.
