Occupation of territory by minor nations

[Anichent]

@Anichent since at peacetime you dont have occupied territory i highly doubt that it will work outside of wars. If i recall correctly the tooltipp for those buttons says occupied states and not owned states.

damn. I hope someone find a way to mod that in. Offering to transfer territory to my allies in peace time, after conquest, is a huge part of my plans. Without this the game becomes less flexible, more messy, and harder to enact more interest world domination plans

ie. Invade Finland, annex their Sami and Swedish territory, force them to be a puppet, then with them invade Sweden, annex their Sami and Finnish territory, force them to be a puppet. Then give the Swedish-Finland states to Sweden, and the Finnish-Sweden states to Finland etc. I'd want to do this all across the map to design my new order....which sucks if I can't

I think when the war is over that is when it is decided who gets to keep what territories.

Thats what the peace deals are for. I guess you simply give them controll over the occupation and let them demand it in the peace deal, while you make them a puppet.

I was going to say that perhaps during the war, all territory is occupied by the war leader to maintain a nice colour (belligerent can still take said territory due to contribution), but then I thought that the various colours show the beauty of team participation.

Perhaps the occupation should go to whoever occupies the most provinces in a REGION, or state. That way, islands of colour are at least bigger, and seriously messed up regions with multinational occupation would at least have the novelty of showing the chaos that insued there. Perhaps priority to occupying VPS or cities.

What if the puppet is not in the war.

You're thinking big ww2. But I'm thinking of smaller wars. What if the country is not a puppet or ally when that war ends, and they don't have cores on the territory. There needs to be a better solution. Something like in EUIV where you can transfer or sell territory. Because in HOI3 I had to handle it all through commands and that was so tedious.
