Why doesn't low steability or war support lower country's surrender limit?

[Peter Zhou]

As Steability and War Support are the concepts to replace National Unity, why doesn't any of them lower country's surrender limit? I found every country in a war requires less than 20% of all its victory points to capitulate. Here is an example in my current game, Italy has only 15% steability and less than 50% war support, but its surrender limit is the same as others.


But when I read the Dev Diary, I found following sentence.

Can somebody explain this to me? Thanks!

I am starting to feel that this is a feature which has been forgotten by developers.

Probably just a bug

Yea this seems like a butchered feature the more I play and look in the files. It's not at all implemented in the older trees/events either. And for THE Love of god why did they just make it matter wether its under or over 50%??? Also this is hardcoded so we cant even change it! Has One of the new paradox guys not taken the "this is supposed to be a sandbox modable title" course?

It was changed at some point to not affect surrender limit. DD for Stability/War Support was in September - so lot of things can change between now and then when it comes to development, testing etc.

And yeah, it's a little bit disappointing you can't mod/tweak stability/war support much.

If so, then there is no concept to function like National Unity now. Maybe developers should simply put it back again.

I was wondering that too, nuked some countries to zero still had to conquer all major city centers.
