[In Nomine] Demanding the capital..

[unmerged(80814)]

Right, so you can demand the capital of a country if said capital is blocked off from the rest of its country..

Except if its Scotland!

Okay, so I guess the rule is that if the capital has a port then its immune.. but c'mon! I only want Edinburgh and the province next to it. And then vassalize them, naturally.

Fixed in the next patch perhaps? No I don't want to give/wait til the Scots have a spare 1k..

Possibly if you blockade the ports? Or if you control every province with port access to it?

 

[Vharzul]

No no its not the port, if the sea zone is ajoining to another province in the zone that you controle so 3 provinces in 1 sea zone then you cannot demand the capitol until thiers no provinces in the seazone.

Must not have:-
-Land connection to other provinces it owns
-Must not have provinces in same seazone that are owned

Then it should work

Well.. I tried with a 100% warscore and it didn't work, I didn't have the ability to blockade when I took the screenshot so I'll give that a shot tomorrow, although I doubt it'll work.

Man, its annoying!

What is its blockaded aswell?

Or will I have to give them 1k?

Edit: Holy cow! So all I have to do is take Aberdeen? And then I can annex it?

 

[comagoosie]

Despite the solution I do find it a bit odd.

 

[unmerged(80814)]

Just to clarify, I just need to take Aberdeen and then I should be able to annex Edinburgh?

 

[unmerged(80814)]

Well I tried your suggest but it didn't work:

 

[Brian Bóruma]

Goshdarnit. Sounds bugged.

 

[Markusw7]

Its because they have access across the sea to their other provinces.

 

[unmerged(80814)]

Its because they have access across the sea to their other provinces.

So I need to blockade their remaining 2 provinces? Or annex them? If I have to annex them there'd be no point to the system.. lol.

i don't think blockaded will work in this case, there is still point in this system however as it would allow you to get Ile de france from France and any other inland capital.

Just annex them, i know exactly why you don't want to do it though you want to make GB the easy way by only getting the cores on the required provinces then becoming GB and gettting the rest with no revoltrisk.

No I just want the extra two province for England. The rest of Scotland: Fife, Aberdeen, Highlands, Western Isles and Orkney if I can get it them will be part of my Scottish vassal.

Its partly RP too, so that I'm "enforcing" my overlordship of Scotland.

 

[KaleRaven]

I had this same problem with Liguria from Genoa. No deal =/

 

[unmerged(80814)]

Genoa's different. It only has overseas territory (correct me if I'm wrong) and its one province on the mainland is its homeland. Whereas Edinburgh is just one part of the Scottish kingdom. So it makes more sense to be able to take Edinburgh.

Hope that made sense. >_>

 

[KaleRaven]

It would make sense to take either. I mean really, if I wanted to occupy and hold it, who is going to stop me? Reigning kingdoms/dynasties have been expelled from their homelands before, whether they had overseas territories or not.

Exactly. That you can't usurp the capital is seriously annoying, and it doesn't even make sense.

I mean, it's possible to relocate the capital, no?

 

[Darkrenown]

You can only demand the capital if:

A. The capital is landlocked and has no owned adjacent provinces.

OR

B. The capital is coastal, has no owned adjacent provinces, and the nation has no other coastal provinces.

 

[Robert Wyatt]

Strange, when the Turkish capital revolted and stayed that way for a while, it defected to me and their capital changed and they certainly had port cities.

So basically I have to outright annex them.. wow, that sucks.
