BUG: NEW: Provinces acquired by events may be unknown.

U.S. purchases Louisiana

The United States made the Louisiana purchase but did not gain knowledge of its new territories. I know this because I asked to exchange discoveries and it said they know zero territories that I don't know and I know zero that they don't know. Then with my armies I explored some of their new territories in the Ohio/Mississippi valley (with military access) and offered to exchange again. I then knew six territories that they didn't know even though they were U.S.-owned provinces. Note that this particular Unitied States was created as a vassal by me, Sweden, so initially they had all the discoveries that I had. Once they purchase the land, though, you would think they would know of it. Bug?

historically, they sent explorers after purchasing the territory, so no they shouldn't know all of it.

I think it's an "unintended feature".

I like Viper's explanation.

No way. In the game he was playing somebody explored it and made intricate maps. In real life, it was a wide swath of land, uncolonized, that was sold. Nobody had touched it. But his game was different. Since in Eu2 there's no way to replicate what happened in real life (since you can't own land and have colonized it without having explored it, too), in the exchange of land, maps should have been traded too.

It's an oversight bug.

This is similar to the situation where an event gives Portugal control of a southern Chinese provinces (Macau), but Portugal doesn't gain knowledge of the province. It would be nice to see this stuff fixed.

Okay, I agree with folks who say such provinces should be revealed.

This is related to public bug 255, which talks about provinces you get by inheritance or defection not becoming known. Bugzilla bug 2496 public bug 313 for this one. Thanks all.

Am I correct in believeing that there is no way to gain knowledge of territories through events? That is, you can't add anything to those events to make sure that Portugal or the US gets to know those areas?

BTW Viper - nice avatar!

Yes, you are, if Havard's guide is comprehensive. There would have to be code fixes for these two bugs.
