German Mission FIx

[Vin55]

If one forms germany but is a hegemon, one cannot get the one missions, where one needs an alliance with someone who has more than 500 one dev. I think this should be fixed, in the point that if one is a hegemon, one can still get that mission. (this mission would look 5% admin efficency).

Maybe just plan ahead and finish that mission before claiming any hegemony?

Well u forget, and I think that would be a small fix and would not hinder the game or make it easier for people. I just did it random in a dutch game where I did not colonize but got a French Pu and took the UK in a PU and ate Iberia (spain still had over 300k troops lol). So I took the economics hegemon.

You can still get alliances as a Hegemon, it's just harder. The only nations you're outright blocked from forming as a Hegemon are other Hegemons, and I have only once seen the AI claim Hegemony.

This is a similar problem to Savoy's mission to have an alliance with France who must have 150% army strength compared to you. Fine if you start as Savoy, ridiculous if you start as say Montferrat, where due to your starting position you can have the economy to field the largest army in Europe bar the Ottomans by Adm. 10 (where you can form Sardinia-Piedmont and inherit Savoys missions). There are no doubt other such missions too - edge cases not designed around completing them in the very late game, or when you have expanded way past where the game expects you to be when you get the missions. Like a German minor already being in position to claim Hegemony without having first formed Germany.

I believe the 1.33 patch is reducing the relations penalty for being a hegemon so this issue may be resolved in the future. That said, you can still plan around this if the mission is really important to you.
