Resisting annexation (!?)

[unmerged(4795)]

I am playing Austria in IGC 2.3 with patch 1.09 of course and i went to war with Thurningen and its allies Baden and The paletant.

Anyways I took over Thurningen and Baden only provinces and i tried to annex them. But the basterds wouldnt agree to my annexation proposal even though they are completely beaten.
How can this happen??

They might still have a beaten army marching around somewhere. Kill'em and try again. And make sure, that you have forced annexation turned on in the options menu.

Regards,

EoE

It happends when they have big allies that they hope will help them.
Pay the allies off and they will eventuall accept.

I seldom annex one province nations anymore, not worth the BB.

Sure it is! The satisfaction of looking at the map and see your nations colour spreading like a disease is worth any amount of BB points.

One thing for sure : you're quite deranged yourself

I see some resemblance to the Borg... You related?

I too find the assimilation of new cultures refreshing. Resistance against my armies is futile.

It could be that each of them is waiting for the other to come to its rescue, without realising the other is in the same boat. And, of course, they might be hoping for help from the Palatinate. Negotiate a separate peace there, and you might have more luck.

They haven't knocked over one of your provinces while you weren't looking, have they?

maybe his name is Björn borg höhöhöhöhö
(what a crappy joke)

There's another thread asking the exact same question. Make a seperate peace with their allies and then annex em. Who looses sleep over 50 years of BB wars?

I'm having no luck with vassalization/political annexation. I (England) keep running Hannover (with Royal Marriage and military alliance) up to +200 relations, then when I try to vassalize them, they say piss off and drop to +170. What should I do?

vassalization/annexation

I am Assuming you have them in an alliance and have a royal marriage. I do not attempt vassalization/annexation immediately after being rejected by the minor contry. I usually wait for a year or two after they reject my proposal before I attempt vassalization/annexation again. In my experience there is a good chance the minor country will accept vassalization/annexation on a second or third try.

also remember to keep an eye on your monarchs diplomatic skills. if he/she is "poor" or "average" the nation probably wont accept vassalization/annexation unless you are enourmous and have large armies while they have 1 - 3 provinces and almost no troops. i usually wait for a monarch will a good diplo skill to come along before making a vassalization/annexation offer. or if you get lucky you might come upon a random event thatboosts you monarchs skills for a certain period of time. if you do indeed get this event, dont hesitate to act on any nation you feel ripe for vassalization/annexation cause if you are semi-powerful and you have good relations with that nation they will almost surely accept. hope this helps.

This is the biggie. A monarch with diplo skill 1 probably couldn't even persuade himself to join his empire

I take it you are no trekker... The Borg are an unsympathetic lot that fly around the galaxy and assimilate people (turn them into mindless cyborgs...)

Just reminded me of them, your self-confessed lust for the monochrome.
