Playing Ottoman's myself atm, was just wondering if you couldnt click the decision or if it dissappeared altogether? Bordering both Vienna and Prague in my game and think Poland have Danzig, so would help me a lot
Is Western focus bugged?

Danzig is no longer a Western Focus city in 1.14.Playing Ottoman's myself atm, was just wondering if you couldnt click the decision or if it dissappeared altogether? Bordering both Vienna and Prague in my game and think Poland have Danzig, so would help me a lot
The decision disappeared. They took it after they integrated Bohemia.Playing Ottoman's myself atm, was just wondering if you couldnt click the decision or if it dissappeared altogether? Bordering both Vienna and Prague in my game and think Poland have Danzig, so would help me a lot
By the way, does anyone know for what strange reason Poland integrated Lithuania instead of taking the decision?
For reference, this is the Poland I'm currently facing:
It's definitely not the best WC attempt, but as I said previously, I'm going to wing it
It seems that they don't have Danzig which is needed for the decision. And they might have just gotten lucky and inherited Lithuania upon succession.
Nope, Prague allows the Western influence decision, you need Danzig to form the Commonwealth:

This may be good advice, but impossible to follow and quite ridiculous.Note to self and wannabe world conquerors: check the major assumptions of your campaign before you start it.
Paradox loves to do these things
Players should not need to read the games code to do well. Paradox should not make changes of this magnitude without mentioning them in patch notes.
I hope above post about this being an error is correct. Creating bugs of this magnitude without mentioning them in patch notes is quite reasonable

The patch-notes aren't the place for it, but not having it clearly stated in the Decision itself is not cool.

Ah well, i was in the exactly same situation yesterday with the exeption of it being in multiplayer and it was the dude who played Russia who stripped me of Western Focus, albeit unbeknowingly
Well, that was unexpected.
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it does add an interesting incentive to make you want to take that decision sooner rather than waiting for some ideal moment. I just wish I had known that earlier in my game, I would have kicked the Ottomans out of Vienna

Almost certainly changed to stop province swapping solely to enact the decision in multi-player. Kind of annoying for single player but as long as you're aware of it you should be able to beat the ai to it.

That seems likely. Kinda wish they'd instead add a MP block of some kind then. "not_number_of_players = 2"
Whatta fuk Paradox? This shit ruined our MP game so hard.
It is not reaaly fair that only one player can do western focus, and others can't.
For example if Russia did western focus via Danzig then Ottomans can not do the same via Wien.
That is kind of absurd.

They wanted to keep their lucky nation status!
From historical_lucky:
Code:
POL = {
NOT = {
exists = PLC
}
}
PLC = {
NOT = {
is_year = 1700
In this case they got Prague when they integrated/inherited Bohemia. A mix of bad luck and bad planning on my part.
