The Badboy Handbook, take one!

Roland, he means CB shield i.e. "National Province" over the province you take in the peace treaty. Therefore, your point is moot.

On question #2, you don't get the BB. Your allies do for the provinces they receive, not you, regardless if you're the one awarding it to them.

You get 69 Bad Boy points for Diplo annexing Russia 1813 with whole Siberia colonized.

 

[Grunthex]

Diplo annexing and inheritance are a flat rate 1 BB/province. Regardless of whether you have CB or not, or religion of the provinces, or phase of the moon.

Well, I was as perplexed as Roland. If you are right John, and I guess you are, then KurtBrian should alter the text.

Nice work KurtBrian. We love you for it but I doubt Paradox does... It is said that they prefer the BB-system to be a little unknown to the players.

1. I knew it sounded too good to be true. What justice is there in that? If the AI players have the audacity to Diplo. Insult me, I should be allowed to take territory from them without becoming an international pariah. Guess everyone hates an empire ...

2. Hmmm ... if Grunthex is right, then it would appear that you could gain territory at a cheaper BB rate by helping a vassal in a war, making sure THEY get the territory YOU want from your enemy, and then eventually diplo-annexing them (the vassal). You'll only get 1 BB / prov. vs. 2 / prov. But then, this all hinges on your vassal being intelligent enough to besiege enemy territory and not signing a separate peace for hard cash.
