I was playing as the USA, and I conquered Huron so I could give the provinces to Canada and block some French colonization. They immediately returned every single province to Huron after all that fighting. They bought the provinces, so there were coreable. If they had OE issues they could have just made a vassal instead.

I want to help my allies by giving them some provinces, but I can't because they just return them. I say either remove the feature or tweak the AI decision making behind it, but I find that it does way more harm than good.

But when they returned provices, they returned all of them at once, didn't leave any province. I experienced same when I conquered land for cononial nation.

+ Will it be added returning province to certain nation when that province has core of more than one nation?
