IGC 2.3 Question...

[unmerged(8908)]

I just downloaded IGC 2.3 last night, and WOW. Needless to say, I'm a little tired at work this morning!

This is probably a pretty weak question, but I'd prefer to find out BEFORE I invest several hours of my life into a game:

Are Gold Shield countries still unannexable with the patch?

To be honest, I'm asking because while I'm playing a Minor, I'd like to slow down the Majors by making a few key Minors "Playable" (say, Eire, Brittany, Incas, Aztecs, maybe a couple more). If these countries are Gold Shield & unannexable, The Big Boys can still be Heavy Hitters without totally marching over a road of bones...

Sure, it's "Ahistorical" at best & maybe "Cheating" at worst, but it's my game, damn it!

That should go okay.
In the IGC you can dicide youself who shall be minors and majors

You're right, the majors cannot be annexed, so your scheme will work.

Well I think that was a great idea on how you can assure there will be balance in the game and that there will be no uber-nations that swallow all the little ones

Edit: Making some key minors majors would instead promote that the games runs even more historical... if thats what you want
