Okay al,lright, okay alrighto, First post and all, but this actually scares me quite a bit, the whole diploannexing thing.
Please correct me if im mistaken, but as i read it, its basically to prevent vassal feeding to then intregrate them? Allright, fair deal, i find the entire conquest system to be utterly disgusting already, and making the vassalfeeding system equally so, might just kill the game for me outright, but that aside - What about PU's? Will i also be required to pay 5k diplopoints in order to integrate Frace when i win the hyw? Also, how on earth does it actually work? Does it work like the current westenization porcess? Example tiem, : I want to integrate Byzantium in a Kebabgame, they have 3 provinces worth 7 total basetax, 7*15= 105 points, but obviously, you cant divide 7 with 3, so all provinces are equally converted, is it just a bar that fills, and all will be annexed together? Or does provinces become yours slowly overtime? - Obviously first one makes the most sense.
Considering its 15 points "if you have it", is it the point on that system to make diploannexing extra penalising for non EU nations whom recieve a negative monarch point penalty? Is that to encourage westenization even further, or just simply an oversight in the design?
Also, im guessing theres no way to reduce the diplocost og annexing your vassals? Making coring better if (and you alwas should in a conquest game) take admin as an idea group ? Is that an intended buff to an already strong idea group? Or just an oversight?
With coring always taking the same amount of time nomatter your sieze, i just dont even remotely see the point in having vassals, specially not when you can reduce the coring cost quite drasticly thorugh modifiers. Not having vassals means you wont be sporting the need for massive diploralations in order to maintain allainces + vassals, as you do now without tanking diplopoints. Is that your way of nurfing diplomatic ideas or just somewhat if an unintented nurf?
Another thing, seeing how vassals and therefor diploannexing is limited by somewhat arbitrary limits we've come to accept (Cores, own cores, previous claims) as to how big said vassal could possibly grow, would it make sense to simply remove those limits? Vassal feeding without limits like it was 1999 (cant remember wich patch... 1.3?) still costs the same amount of diplo points, it just basically makes you aply to choose, admin or diplo - Is that something to consider? Or is this just an outright nurf to diplo annexing vassals?
Another thing, with the introduction of Aggressive Eff, the amount of land you can conquer increases quite drasticly lategame, is that intented to be such a hassle with coring+nationalism? Say you gain 10 new provinces instead of the current 3-4, that increases said revolt by a staggering 30%, wich cant be combatted in an way due to how nationalism works. Does that make the entire Aggresive eff effectually just a AE reduction tool rather than an actual conquest buff? Was that the point? If so, why not just reduce AE from provinces gained? On that note, why does it give equal amounts on AE when you take 1 province from 100 province russia, as it does from 2 province Denmark? Making the change for Vassaling, but not conquest? Seems way too random
