Why is Italy getting land I conquered?

[drake546]

So as Germany I stared invading Yugoslavia, and even though I came over the former Austrian border, everything went to Italy. Why?

And France capitulated to Italy AGAIN, even though those bums didn't do anything but die in the mountains. At least this time I got the option to create Vichy. This game seems to be going out of its way to piss me off.

I am told it is the amount of fighting they do, not how successful they are. So, insanely, the Italians could batter away for ages whilst Germany sweeps in using Blitzkrieg, but as the Italians lost more men they make a greater war contribution. It seems nuts to me too...

They probably took the Claims on Yugoslavia, which gives them claims on the region bordering former Austria and Italy. I assume you didn't do the focus tree that gave you your own claims on Slovenia so when you invited them in they got the territory since it is their claim.

As for French situation, at least your not playing as Italy who did the lion works of capitulating France and then Germany goes do the scripted Vichy event to screw you over your gains without being able to do anything about it.

Ahh, so claims can Override occupation? That's good to know.

In my french game, i went totally ahistorical, destroyed germany and SU, with only allies standing as an opponent and non interfering japan on the other side. They fought their own war surprisingly pretty successful, as they managed to take china, india and even australia (!). And I am not kidding, it was vanilla game.

I invaded netherlands (in allies), they capitulated to me with small province occupied by japan... I said okay, maybe they snuck some small invasion in all of that chaos, but I moved on.
I then invaded Ireland, took again everything, they capitulated, but again some provinces went to japan...
This is very stupid and just adds to already mentioned scenarios.
I am not really sure how this can be fixed, but it should be.

Currently I would say that game is only able to manage historical scenarios of occupation and not ahistorical, which for the sandbox game, as they promote hoi4, is not good at all.
