Can't Annex Byzantium

[unmerged(4875)]

I just started a GC as Turkey and wasted no time in being aggressive. By mid-1419 the Duchy of Athens was mine and I decided to turn my troops towards the Byzantines (who control Thrace and Morea).

By Sept. of 1421 I have control of Thrace and Morea, and have destroyed all trace of Byzantine military and navy. But then when I offer peace, I do not get the option to annex? WTF!

They are not a major nation (I replaced their golden shield with Portugal from the start of the game), so why can't I annex them? I have 100% victory over them, yet I can do everything but take Thrace. What's going on?

Stranger still, I decided to keep my siege of their provinces and in 1425 they cede Morea to... Denmark!
Why Denmark? What claim did Denmark have on Morea? There weren't even Danish troops in the Balkans. But then after Morea went to Denmark, I was able to annex Thrace to my empire, thus destroying Byzantium as a free state.

But my question is, why couldn't I take Morea as well? Why does Denmark get the province? Denmark wasn't even at war with Byzantium!

Thanks in advance for any help

You can only annex a nation that has a single province. Thus, against Byzantium you could have taken the Morea and extorted all of their cash, but there was no way you could gain ownership of Thrace so long as Byzantium had another province.

Hasn't got anything to do with the annex problem. It is the one-province annex rule that Dark Knight was talking about

Check the sticky thread on top of the page for more info on it

Just so I fully understand - you have to take a country down to a single capitol province (at least until patch 1.02 - I hope). Not Capitol and 1 province - the Capitol only right?.

*wonders whether this thread should be locked so we don't have a fourth debate about the issue*

nah, check the original post: "Why does Denmark get the province? Denmark wasn't even at war with Byzantium!"

sup w/ that? or was mr. dante just too wrapped up in his war to notice that there was some sort of Scandinavian crusade bound for Byzantium?

As mentioned allready you can only annex one-province nations through peace deals. All nations are annexable though... even you!

Stranger still, I decided to keep my siege of their provinces and in 1425 they cede Morea to... Denmark!

That Denmark thing is fixed in later patches in the beta. Hopefully it will be included in the first patch.

Not Denmark really. What I was referring to was countries demanding (and receiving) provinces held by countries not involved in "their" war (or any war actually). Since the Ottomans held Morea noone but them should be able to receive it. As I said it have been fixed in beta and should come to a patch near you soon...

Well I thought everybody knows about that nasty rule, if you have not voted to quit it is your problem, we ask to quit it and only a bit more than 200 peopler voted. If you didn't vote or not asked to quit is your problem, but I think it will be disabled that rule with first patch.

The one province rule is not a "problem", it's a "feature". Still - I don't know, but I believe the rule is still there in todays betapatch...

it seems it has not been quitted. I'll ask Alex to start a new complaint, but really I think is better if that rule is disabled or can be switched on/off by users.

I was referring to Denmark getting Morea without being at war. Sorry for not being clear.
