I'm returning to the game after some years and need to catch up on the basics.

After my first war, I tried to annex an additional province which was captured, but it says that I cannot take it because I cannot core it. However, it doesn't say why I cannot core it. Where can I find the reason for not being able to core?

I don't have a screenshot of the actual piece negotiation, but here's one where the war is in progress. The province in question is Wadi Halfa. The other province of that country is the goal target of the war and will eventually be sieged and taken by my units which ends the war with 100% score.

But generally speaking, is there somewhere, a tooltip or something, that lists the reason for not being able to core? Or will I need to figure it out myself in every single case?

And you can't select both the provinces in the peacedeal? If so, that's likely a bug.

Do you have a save? If you encounter this again, please attach a save as it will be much easier to figure out whats happening.

Do you mean, you can't take it right now, without the other province? If so, then it's working correctly - you can't make that province a core, because you cannot reach it - you don't have a land or sea connection to it. When you siege down the other province, you'll see that when you select the border province, you will be able to take the other one as well.

In short - you cannot core a province which you cannot reach via land or sea.

But you should be able to select both without sieging. I checked, that's the primary participant, so if he can't select both without sieging both that's a bug.

Did you select something like war reparations? You can't annex the whole country and demand annual payments. With 100% warscore you should be able to take both provinces.

The other province was sieged down, but I couldn't take it.

You can't take Wadi Halfa without taking Qasr Ibim, since you need a land connection to cored land to create a core. Select Qasr Ibim, which should open Wadi Halfa up to be selected since you will then have the ability to core it after coring Qasr Ibim.
Ah, that worked, thanks! Didn't realise the order of selection was important, been a while since I last played... :)
