Dominions vs. Satellites

[unmerged(59696)]

I understand that satellites are the countries you release that are states, but how would I change that to dominions?

 

[RoyalArk14]

If I'm correct there are only a few countries that can be released as dominions, but what exactly do you mean? As in modify the file so that it can be released as a dominion? Or try without editing?

Also, I never fully understood if there was any difference between dominion and satellite except in name.

AFAIK, dominions only come about through, as RoyalArk14 mentioned, a select few countries that can be released as dominions, or through events. Any country can become a dominion through events, so that maybe the way to go.

Ya, modify the file.

Satellite's are defensive pact, and dominions are regular alliances. So in a war, satellites are useless.

For a dominion the province your capital is needs to be a colony, not a state. If this is met then the country you are liberating will be a dominion

As far as I remember, Congo is a Dominion of Belgium. So Colony=Dominion. But what about Romania; isn't it also released (though trough scripted event) by Russia as a Dominion?

Unless it's a defensive war.
