Burgundian Non-Inheritance England style

[TheParanoyid]

I used to absolutely hate this event, now I just kind of hate it, but the last 2 runs as England I had a truly interesting experience..


1. France declared war on Burgundy as my junior PU (see CB), no way to enforce the "Union" with Burgundy from my Union with France

2. I was fighting a defensive war against Castile with Austria as my Ally, Inheritance event fires, France declared war on Austria (troops basically 10 to 1 in favour of Austria) cant join War and Austria declined a call to war against the empire after I non-CB 2 members of the HRE.. Obviously France got dismantled after the war

Is it a bug or a feature? Anyone seen something similar?

Yeah it makes no sense. If the crowns of France and England are personally united under your king there, then it should really be England who gets the PU peace option on Burgundy, since he'd be claiming the throne by his right as king of France. But internally the game distinguishes by nation, not by ruler, so it's treating the war as if """France""" should have a PU on Burgundy. Which of course makes no sense because """France""" is not a thing in this context, just the crowns personally held by your king. It's a quirk of how diplomacy works, personal unions are like vassal-subject relationships instead of just being different personal possessions of a single ruler.

It's not a "bug", the event is working as it's written. But I doubt this is how it was intended to play out. Yet another "edge case" with the Burgundian Inheritance

You should post this as a bug report. It is pretty clear this case was overlooked by the script writers.
