how can I check if I can vassalize a country in one war?

[Masquerouge]

I was under the assumption that the 30 basetax rule would apply, but after carefully adding all the base tax of Hungary last night, it was under 30 yet I could not vassalize them in one war.

So is there a way to find out how much warscore will be needed to vassalize before starting the war?

I don't know of a method to check province value versus peace value. But if you've waged wars against your target previously, take note of the maximum peace value required to annex and how much each province represents. In subsequent peace treaties, take down enough provinces to get that value under 100% for the next war so you can force-vassalize.

However, I've usually noticed that at something like 5 provinces or above, it takes more than one war to vassalize, depending on province value. The 30 basetax thing is only for diplo-vassalizing.

Yeah, that's basically what I ended up doing, but I was just wondering if I was missing something obvious that would allow you to know before you go to war the peace value of a province...

Why don't you look for threads discussing this matter? I asked the same question a few hours before you did. Really no need to have two threads about the same topic.

Why don't you assume I did a search?

Nothing obvious came up apart from that thread which is 4 month old:
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...-or-not&highlight=vassalize+war+province+cost
hence why I decided to create the thread.

Because the thread I redirected you is still on the first page of the EU IV forum.

I think province cost 10+ 2*(base tax+base manpower) + 5*(province modifiers, like river estuary)
With conquest wargoal the province gets -40% reduction in cost
