Map theft as peace deal option

[Matnac]

Hello!

just a suggestion that I think would be cool if introduced into the game. Primarily for nations in the americas, where fog of war is a bit of a concern for all nations there.

Being able to steal maps as part of a peace deal in a war against the european colonizers would be really sweet if you manage to beat them in a war. Other options in these wars are usually somewhat limited to economic gains.

Yesterday in my Inca run where I have no visibility on inland Europe while beating the Europeans in South America, I thought that it was quite strange that I had to buy (with prestige) or steal (with spy network) maps information.

So I wonder if adding "map knowledge" in a peace deal could be a good option. I was sure that I was not the first to have this idea and here it is^^

I know that there are a lot of parameters ("cost" of peace deals, which regions?) but I hope it could be added in the future.

I would rather say - "A will share maps of xxxx with B" as a peace term. Good idea.

Too many Regions to do it by region. I think the best alternative would be "Forced Document Sharing/Steal Records" Which would be similar to war reparations or transfer trade in that it would last 10 years and rather than providing monetary benefits overtime, it would give a high chance every month (tick) to reveal terra incognita provinces adjacent to provinces you already know about. This would be a much more slow, smooth, and natural spread of cartographic knowledge.
