I don't have that bug. It would be nice to be able to buy provinces, though.
You - not. Game - yes.

1. Must have money to pay this offer
2. Country who you warring must have 25D (better 50D)
3. During offering peace click (and don't release) "+" sign to get 25D from them and hit "-" repeatedly on keyboard. After 3-4 try you get -25D and then change it to any sum you can afford

You also can sell your provinces for money this way.

Daniel,

i`ve reported this bug more than a year ago, but asked to delete the post, so this cheat wouldn`t be used in MP. As far as i heard MP player "Victor" was caught on this cheat (you can trace that easily, because AI always almost become bankrupt immedialy after such peace deal), but that is not my authority.

The post was deleted, the bug still lives. We always should count that upgrading of EU2 is Johan`s good will for us, and not what Paradox understands as the duty.

ciao,
Anton

To get back on topic, I propose that whenever a country changes in size the amount researched in a tech should change proportionally to the size cost. What I mean is:
x1 - amount researched
x2 - new amount researched
y - old cost of next tech level
z - new cost of next tech level

x2 = x1 * z/y

That way you will avoid the originally mentioned exploit but also the problem of suddenly having 3 more years (or whatever) to go compared to 2 months just because you annexed 5 territories. In essence, it means that you treat your research progress as a percentage instead of a fixed amount.

Oops, sorry Anton. I couldn't have guessed that's how it was since you and Minusa spoke openly about it here in the GD forum.

BTW, I assume cheaters are hung, drawn and quartered and never allowed again into a game. The difficult thing must be to come to an agreement before the game starts what constitutes
a) cheats and non-allowed exploits
b) allowed exploits
c) merely smart game play :)

This is a solution easy to implement.
So, now let us pray to GoTaRnR (aka Johan)

About buying provinces cheat - I don't now it's forbidden issue - I know about it from russian forum for some time and it was never mentioned as a secret or forbidden - it's almost common knowledge for me
