Netherlands [Curtail Colonial Autonomy] [No other DLC]

[PyroMegaManZ]

I am using Man the Guns, and was playing as Netherlands and took "Curtail Colonial Autonomy". However, after the focus completed and I lost my European holdings I was still unable to move government to Batavia. I suspect this is because I don't have Together for Victory, which means that the reduction to autonomy of the Dutch East Indies that this focus gives me doesn't actually 'activate' but I am not sure if this is the case (hence why I haven't posted this to bug reports)? Does anyone else have experience with this or know what might be happening here? Thank you for all help!

Curtail Colonial Autonomy isn't the focus that lets you move your capital, it's a prerequisite for Continue the War in Batavia. And that focus requires the DEI to be an integrated puppet, so yes, you will need TfV or WtT to actually do that. The bug is that the CCA focus doesn't check that you have one of those DLC active in order to take it, which blocks you from further progressing down that path and locks you out of the Continue the Zuiderzee Works path. The other autonomy reducing foci don't need to be locked out as that's a side effect of the improvements they give, but CCA should since its only purpose is to lower DEI's autonomy at the cost of daily PP so it can't break out of integration.

I do notice that there are a lot of features that seem 'dependent' on DLC regardless of if you have the DLC or not. It is a particular shame in this case because it locks you out of 90% of what makes Democratic Netherlands useful.

Maybe write a bug report for that.

Maybe write a bug report for that.

Seconded.

My upcoming East Indies mod would address that issue first if they didn't did it first for 1.12
