So I set the Justification for War with Poland on January 1st, 1939 - told me it would be ready on October 3, 1939.
On the same day I set the Justification for Denmark and it said November 16th, 1939.

Then I set the Justification for Belgium. . . October 14th, 1941!!! - 780 days. . . W.T.F.?

Am I doing something wrong?

Ever since the last patch the time and cost to justify goes up the more you do simultaneously. Also... since it's 1939, why don't you just use the national focus to declare on those countries for 'free'?

Well, there is the fact that, assuming you're Germany, you could get those faster with national focuses.

EDIT: If you want to fabricate more wargoals, wait for the UK or France to join in and you'll get much faster wargoal generation on further targets.

Both the time and PP cost increase now for simultaneous justifications. This is especially to discourage the common tactic of justifying your first 5 wars all at once so that no guarantees got placed to hinder your early expansion. The game is still easy mode but that change is a step in the right direction.

Also, you're presumably fascist - you only need one war goal, then once you're at war, you can declare on more nations without justification so long as peace doesn't break out.

How so, I cannot DOW on Yugoslavia (in Oct 39) without establishing war goal first.

Okay, so I was wrong - I could have sworn that one of fascism's abilities was not needing wargoals when already at war and could have sworn I'd actually used it. It seems that it's just the much less useful -80% wargoal fabrication time when at war with a major.

Still, the fact that Germany gets cheap wargoals from focuses still stands.
