Are these bugs?
I started an AGC (my first one) as Portugal. I noticed the following quirks, and I'd like to know if they are bugs or normal for the ACG:
1. On April 17, 1419 I got a message in the screen log saying Bohemia had converted to Protestantism.
2. Portugal started with "temporary casus belli" on a bunch of states "till 1821". These states were mostly in India and Northwest Africa, including Morocca, Fez, and Algeria but not Tunisia.
Is this to set up the historical expansion of Portugal without bothering the player with excessive stability hits? If it is, I have a bit of a balance issue going in my game.
By using the temporary CB's and by manipulating their alliance, I have conquered everything from Sahara to Tripolitania, with the exception of Toukbal and Tunisia, which I vassalized. This is by 1426. I force-annexed Fez and Algeria after they declared war in support of their alliance partner Morocco, even though I had a truce with them and Fez was my vassal from the first war.
This doesn't make much historical sense, but from a gameplay perspective the "temporary CB's until 1821" make it way too attractive. I can lock in several excellent provinces (two grain, one copper, one iron) and effectively remove some potentially irritating opponents entirely. The only risk was when Castille dishonored my alliance and took the opportunity to blitz me with her alliance partners Navarre and Aragon while all my armies were in North Africa ;-)
Is this the way the ACG is supposed to work for Portugal?
Thanks,
Qualm
