Saadabad Pact

[shepherd352]

Is this broken? I have played two Ottoman games, one soon after release of BotB and one with the current patch. When I do "Expand the Saadabad Pact" I get no feedback. It says that each country will get an invitation but I see none of that nor do I get any rejections. I can't invite them by diplomatic invitation because we are all unaligned, so there is a severe penalty. Even 100% opinion doesn't help.

When I look at the Event file, it seems like they should accept. Has anyone succeeded or do you read the event file differently? Any suggestions?

I found my own solution. While the Saadabad Pact event creates a faction, the event will only work if you create a faction before it fires. Before the focus completed, I had the opportunity to invite Iran into a faction (name your own). They accepted. When the focus completed, the event fired and all three joined my new faction. This one must have slipped through quality control.

Yeah, this seems to be the way to go on about it. If Iran does not accept the invite (in my game they didn't), then you can create a puppet from the one province France gives you or you can puppet Bulgaria via focus. This way you can create a faction with your puppet even if no free nations wants to be with you.

With a 5 minute change it can be resolved: when you click on the pact focus, you create the faction and once complete you invite.
