Annexing Vassal Problem

[troutblock]

I just annexed a vassal and now I want to annexe another one, but the progress is stalled:

This is despite me having +8 diplomatic reputation (even after the -3 from annexing the first vassal):

Anyone know why it would be stalling?

You get a 10 year malus for annexing a previous subject, but in your case it just looks like a bug, have you annexed more than 1? Is it stacking but not putting it on the tooltip?

I only annexed 1 recently. I did a couple of others earlier in the game, but they were finished more than 60-70 years ago.

 

[IIWW]

It doesn't stack, for sure. Looks like a bug to me.

Are you at peace?

The tooltip states, in the bottom line, that you and your vassal both need to be at peace for the annexation to progress.

Aye i'm at peace (I had to be in order to start the annexing process)

I think that i'll just have to release my vassal, and then immediately attack them to get the provinces back :angry:

Maybe restarting the game would fix it? There are numerous bugs fixed by it.

OK I worked out what it was....My Vassal's capital had been sieged down by rebels and that caused it to stall. Funny, i've annexed hundreds of vassals in the past and never knew about that mechanic :blush:
