Hi,

I am just wondering if the dev team has mentioned anything about reworking the way peace conferences work ? So many times you end up with an insane amount of bordergore, many one-state puppets and so on... In my opinion this is this game's biggest issue and is really making the experience frustrating for me.

I have been putting the game aside while I wait for this to be updated but it looks like they are not considering this an issue. I don't feel like I'm the only one bothered by this but I may be wrong. I have supported this game since release and bought all additional content but I'm at a stage where I won't buy any content for HoI4 anymore until they fix this.

I apologize if this sounds like a rant but I would really like to know if they plan to change this because I would love to play this game again.

Not sure they’ve mentioned anything about it at this point for the upcoming expansion (though small improvements are often made over time under the radar). That said, for a stopgap, you might want to consider the Player-led Peace Conferences mod so you can set up some more reasonable peace results.

Thanks for your suggestion. I don't usually use mods on Paradox titles for those sweet sweet achievements but in this case I think that it might be worth it to make the game an enjoyable experience.

That is on their checklist, yes.

I do not believe in this dlc there is any important change in that area, although it will surely be addressed in future dlc since it is part of the list of things on your roadmap will surely be one of new mechanics of a deeper and more extensive rework of diplomatic issues than the game needs

The Player-led Peace Conferences mod is basically a mandatory mod/free DLC for SP.

It should be noted, however, that it's been on their checklist for years now, and that multiple lower priority issues (that took a huge amount of time to fix) have been addressed first.
Yes, together the resistance system, this has always been my biggest gripe with the game, even bigger than things like supply (which needs a rework, but at least is serviceable).
One is thankfully being fixed now, now I wait for the other.

But as per OP's question, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

We will see it in the last before Release. There they will show the complete Patch and DLC-Notes.
That's a rather big mechanic which a rework would deserve a DD of its own, so it's very, very unlikely to come with this patch.
At most, we can hope for some tweaks within the current system, but nothing major.
