Vassal rules: Historically owned should be changed to Historically cored

[AurochsAway]

Currently vassals will buy if they historically owned a province. However, this should change to Historically having a core. A core is at the moment an investment into a province, representing some sort of permanence. This seems like something they'd buy, rather than just a province they may have conquered once.

This also makes sense gameplay and roleplay wise. The current situation means that 1444 represents an absolute limit, with all history before that irrelevant. Lands that are cored but uncontrolled at the start of the game can not be sold back. This applies to living countries and countries existing only in latent cores. If say you have a vassal Burgundy or Bulgaria, you should be able to sell them any provinces which they once had a core on, but on which the core has been lost by time/culture conversion.

Yeah this actually makes sense to me. Currently its pretty weird were owning a province seems to trump it being a core which is contrary to the way everything else works. Hopefully this will be changed in the future.

- Subjects will now only buy provinces if they are a core, claim, or they have owned it at any point during the game

If you were not refering to pre-1444 it already exists.

I agree, the province Finland for example is almost always culture converted to swedish and if you release Finland after the Fins lost their core on province finland they will not buy it because of the -1000 strategic interest. Because he never owned it in the game but they did had a core on it.

Kinde weird how Finland doesn't see strategic interest in owning their capitol province.

Yeh I agree. My take on coring is that you somehow moved a percentage of your population to mingle with the existing subjects and part of your administrative government there to solidify your hold.
