+coring cost policy stays active on provinces of wiped nations.. Bug?

[atwix]

title.

The "national defense act" (military +/coring cost policy) stays active in provinces after erasing that nation from the map..

Is this normal? I thought policies should disable after nations vanish, right?

 

[Golladan]

I'd call it a bug.

Its not a bug, its dependent on if they have a core there.

 

[atwix]

ah ok. But still, shouldn't all policies STOP working after a nation is wiped? Like +attrition policies etc?

Bugged. If you don't have points, policies cancel.

I'd post it as a bug and let Paradox decide if it is or not. Ideas still exist which makes little sense in itself, but policies are something that require upkeep. When the upkeep is no longer being paid it should go away, so if a policy is hanging around it sounds more like a bug than anything.

Was it the policy, or was it the Aristocratic NI, or country specific idea or tradition? Those remain as long as the core does.

I think this was answered before that it is WAD.


Edit: Oops.

He said it's the policy, and I have observed this policy existing when the nation in question doesn't exist (and thus can't pay for it) also.

Where? It's an inconsistently applied mechanic if its WAD.

If a dead tag can continue to pay for westernization, why wouldn't they be able to afford a measly policy? Dead men tell no tales, but dead monarchs have infinite points.

I would venture a guess, especially now based on Wiz's response, that dead countries continuing westernization is also a bug.

Undead country mechanics in general are probably a bug.

Why not just revert a couple patches and have vampire rulers aged in the 300 range?

But this would make Romania too stronk.

What it did do, unfortunately, was result in crashes if those nations were ever coughed up through rebels etc.

Does this mean I have to bug report it now? Or can I assume Wiz will handle it

I wonder, if this policy bug on wiped nations means the attrition policy can stick around aswell..

Can't think of any more that might "last" on provinces after a nation is wiped though. Maybe there are.

Attrition policy wouldn't last either, because you have to own a province for your attrition for enemies bonus to take effect.
