Hmmm... are you sure? It sounds very interesting if you can release a vassal and force subjects to give it all its cores.

lol, i never thought of that. If it works thats indeed good way to keep minor PU subjects down..
France is pretty much always going to be hostile unless you can get relations to +200. This is WAD., it's supposed to be very hard to hold on to.
I know eu4 is supposed to simulate history but starting situation England vs France is ridicilous unfair.
Agreed, it could stand to be a bit less uneven, though France should always have the advantage.
What about the alterations to annexing nations that try to declare independence? Why, with the new DIP cost added to annexing vassals, does even an utterly failed war reset the integration or vassal annexation timer?
BTW changing mechanics to a large degree and not listing them in patch notes (while routinely listing more minor changes) is a low-blow, and it's distressing that this has happened in more patches than it hasn't, including the last several in a row. It took over a month to get confirmation that Ming suddenly costing nearly 1000% war score rather than capping to ~400% with province scaling was WAD in 1.6 (I'm particularly angry with that stealth change, because the 1.6 notes actively made a false claim that you could take more in peace deals from large coalitions, in the very patch it removed *all* scaling. That's very, very sour and directly misleads the player base. Patch note history makes patch notes less useful, because we have seen repeated evidence that patch notes are consistently incomplete or even worse, untrustworthy).
I've yet to see a single developer mention the changes to when you get stabhits. I'd imagine only the handful of forum posters who read nouli's research on it after I called it out know how it works, aside from whoever made that change. Even if it's a good change, there were only a handful of things in the 1.7 patch notes that could potentially impact gameplay more...
Don't you think these things are worth mentioning in patch notes?
There will always be a "relative strength to liege" or "backward/ignorant monarch" or "Union just in name" penalty that gets -100 relations penalty...
Good. Hard shouldn't mean impossible. Did you stay at war throughout integration?
Yep. Brittany was my favourite target as you can see. They never usually get any allies of any consequence, and are easy to take down, and wait out at 80-100% warscore, and then farm for prestige from "concede defeat." Rinse and repeat every 7 years with wars with Castille/Scotland/Ireland in between.
being at war permanantly is actually the best protection versus independence wars. Subjects get -50 incentive to do so if you are at war.
This is especially useful if you have only equal or bit more province count then the country you are integrating. Once you are huge, no country will dare declaring independence. If they do however, the release vassal trick mentioned above works wonders vs france (if it still works)
I integrated a full fledged spain and Russia, and Russia never had more then +50 opinion of me since i forced them as my subject.

In the words of Calvin Coolidge: "You lose."
I see you didn't notice the "unless" part.
It's not supposed to be impossible.

Just for that I'm gonna make France spawn 100k event troops at mil tech 32 if England appears to be winning the HYW.
You can thank grekulf, everyone.
What makes it even more unbalanced is that England will face a civil war and most likely her armies were destroyed by French. Meanwhile French dont have any troubles and she has very good general, lot of money, lot of manpower, cultural union, rich land, a good monarch and weak neighborhood. England has none of them expect few Irish minors who love to rebel when conquered.
I would not mind if England has 30%, 20% or 10% of change to win HYW but now it is less than 1%.
You mean these ones?

Maybe I am thick, but mil tech 32 is the end of the game, and by that time France, will be long integrated (and lost the HYW).
Let France spawn even 300k troops during the HYW, attrition will kill EVERY-SINGLE-TROOP for me.
