Hundred Years War

[WLFobe]

When the English lose the Hundred Years War, they lose "french" culture.

When the French win the Hundred Years War, they gain Causi Belli against the remaining states owning pieces of France.

Since the French have just cause against any state owning pieces of France, then in effect a: the french don't really gain anything; and b: a lot of good programming has been wasted.

Or at least that's how it seems to me.

How doesn't it make sense?

A) Correct.

B) Wrong, the event doesn't have to benefit france further, and a CB and a core province is among the best things u can have in this game. Besides, scripting such an event is dirteasy.

yeah, you're overlooking the fact that they can take their core provinces and THEN declare war again before the temp CB expires

What I'm enjoying right now - even though the HYW isn't over yet - is using Brittany as a magnet for stupid allies. Other European minor countries just love to ally with that mighty power (one province Brittany), then when I declare on Brittany (for a mere -1 stability hit) they declare on me and I conquer and annex them. Then I conclude a White Peace with my buddy Brittany.

Woohoo!

I might NEVER completely conquer Brittany if this keeps up...

A bad thing ids that if you play France and when you have annexed and united France you will have so bad reputation that if you atack some other countries you will get bb wars

One should definitely finish things up by diplo-annexing those 1 province nations you have force-vassalized (considering most start as your vassals, not a problem.

Best thing is to let some of those minors swallow each other up first. Then just diplo annex the survivors.
