As Ceylon, integrating Madurai at about 80%. It just went away when I become a Ming tributary, and I noticed too late to reload.

Is this WAD, and if it is, could there be a warning?

Tributaries can have vassals, that's WAD.

But the instance you become a tributary, all your diplomats are recalled. Just aborted a good Hinstustan game, after loosing ~2000 MP for canceled annexations -.-
That's reeeaaaally mean ^^

you became a subject so you lose your subjects

Nope.

Tributaries can have vassals, that's WAD.

Correct.



The game gives no warning and there isn't a coherent reason why annexation progress is cancelled. You retain the vassal you're annexing, you just arbitrarily lose the annexation progress. You can re-start the annexation and finish it as a tributary, get new vassals as tributary, and keep old vassals as tributary.

The reasonable conclusion given the facts is that situation OP describes is a bug (and easily reproducible). If it isn't a bug by some bizarre dev logic, the fact that this one move arbitrarily cancels annexation progress is not indicated anywhere in-game is instead a major UI flaw.

Register your game to access the sub-forums and bug-report this.

Agreed, though it has been reported already (on 9/25 by Dominion). No answer yet, but such is the state of bug reports. I still have a few from 1.12beta that were never acknowledged despite being objective bugs (UI not aligning with game state).
