Wow, I didn't know that satiliting a country made it give up any land controled by another power. I knew they gave up claims, but not this:

France and Germany were at war in my Ottoman game and I invaded France's west coast. The Frence were totally commited to the German front so I had a field day and took 1/3 of France without meeting any resistance. Not wanting to defend land that far off I thought I'd try satiliting them. It worked, but now Germany owns half of mainland France, including Paris! I think the new Frence capital is in Brest. Oh well, the new giant Germany can help be against Austria

It is not surprising that France lost all that land to Germany. Once you become a satilite nation does it matter where the rest of the land goes? Also, You created another country, making France non-existant and replacing it with Satilite France.

I didnt know this either, going to have to test it. Can anyone else confirm a similar situation? just to make sure its not an isolated bug,

it is so. So be careful when making a satellite of a country that is at war with a third nation.

um...that same situation (almost exactly) occured in my game as Texas, except that it was an all-AI war (France vs Prussia, Austria, and German minors) . Austria has 1/3 of France, Prussia and Bavaria had parts of the north (including Paris). Yet when Austria sattelited France, Prussia and Bavaria did not get the provinces they controlled.

I'm thinking that either your game had a slight bug, or in my game it was because France's enemies were allied.

either way, thats kind of wierd, yet useful...

Who declared war on France? Austria or Prussia???? If it was Austria, then that makes sense. If it was Prussia, then I guess it still makes.

To test I Jumped in on the Germay-Austria war and satilited Austria too, now Germany is giant
