distance between borders -50, 000 . . . what's going on?

Here's the story. I'm playing as Sweden, and have annexed Mecklenburg, which is cored. I get into a war with the Hansa, and force them to release Saxe-Laueberg. It loves me (relations at 200) but royal marriage and vassalization are unavailable because of "distance between borders" penalties of -10, 000 and -50, 000, reectively. I've tried logging off and reloading, but that doesn't fix the problem. Any ideas as to whar's going on, and how I can fix it?

Put EU4 on the shelf for some weeks then it might be solved.

Yeah, it's a bug that we're seeing in AOW, the game doesn't understand where newly created tags are located. Will be fixed at some point in the not too distant future hopefully.

There are a dozen or so people on the bug report forums (including me) are suffering from same issue. It's best to let your hype die for a few weeks, I can't believe I played a day-1 release from paradox myself.. derp.

When a new nation is created, or when you as the player form a new formable nation like Prussia or the Netherlands, the AI's distance calculations suddenly go up the wazoo and it thinks the formable nation/the newly-released nation is located on the Moon, distance-wise. Sometimes waiting for a month or reloading fixes it. Sometimes it doesn't.

It's a bug introduced with 1.8 and, as one of the more significant bugs, I hope it gets fixed in the next day or two, because I'm doing an Ironman Burgundy game at the minute and I'd rather not lose all my allies once I form the Netherlands.

Does moving your capital post-tag switch fix it?
