With regards to Peacedeals:



With regards to Vassal integration



Dear Paradox, @Groogy I understand you want us to use vassals more as opposed to conquering the land directly. I suppose that's an interesting way to shake things up a bit. However if we are to use subjects more how about some improvements to vassals. As a little carrot to the stick that is the territory nerf, sugar to help the medicine go down etc etc.I'd like to suggest the following improvements:A1 -: Vassals don't have your absolutism/your warscore cost modifiers; thats fine but it means it's better to take the land yourself THEN grant it to your vassals. This leads to needless micro not to mention if expanding in a different continent it means you need to snake next to your vassals to be able to do this. Since you can't take provinces you can't core you can't feed them this way unless you snake along their border. Snakes are also terrible now, as it is unappealing to make them into states because areas are rarely snakelike but they do add territories which cannot be converted and incur a corruption penalty.Not to mention if you are in two different wars the 'grant province' subject interaction is locked. Forcing you to either artificially lengthen the war until you can peace out both wars at the same time, or sitting on overextension until you peace out. Both scenarios I think are undesireable Not to mention then you need to use the reverse alphabetically ordered (why this is the case still confuses me) 'grant province' subject interaction.A2.This one might be a bit sketchy for one might argue not granting them the land through the interaction had to incur some sort of price. However it still feels a little weird that you can give them a whole bunch of land and it doesn't effect their opinion of you in any way. And yes if you 'return core' you get an opinion bonus but not a liberty desire bonus. It just feels a bit odd to give a vassal the right to own say half of portugal after a war and then them getting more rebellious rather than appeased.A3.; once again they dont have the same absolutism/admin efficiency so currently you need to calculate for quite a bit to find out what overextension they have and what they are going to have after the peace-deal. This would solve a lot of headache and frustration when you think you calculated it correctly only to see your vassal explode in a spectacular fashion, get into the 'internal conflicts' disaster and never escaping it, fall into perpetual bankruptcy, or a combination of those. This is even more important now that you want us to 'keep' vassals for longterm use.A4.Very often you get into situations where you want to give a province to a vassal; but didn't transfer the occupation to them. The moment the peacedeal comes you want to do just that; but some rebels are sieging it, or a 1k stack walks toward it and starts sieging it. Now you can't transfer occupation. It's still sieged, you still control it, the country you are fighting is perfectly willing to give that province to you but you haven't gone through the bureaucratic red-tape and now you can't transfer it. Even more infuriating when it actually gets unsieged; because then you need to go over there again, siege it, transfer it, so you can give it to a vassal.Even though none of this needs to be neccesary for the country you are fighting is already willing to part ways with the province! It's resigned! Surrendered! Capitulated!So I'd like to argue for the ability to click on your vassals shield in a peace-deal; opening up the possiblity to select provinces for them to get. Allowing you to give them provinces that aren't even occupied. This would IMMENSELY improve my vassal feeding experience, Immensely. I would be overjoyed. It also ties in nicely to suggestion "A3" because then you can show the overextension the vassal will get at the same spot where you normally see your overextension.And once again this doesn't really change anything; it doesn't make wars harder or easier it just makes them less tedious and less weird when the time comes to peace out. This might also be an idea for allies that you have promised land but the provinces they might want aren't occupied: Just click on their shield select a few provinces for them and you're done.Then when switching back to to your view have the provinces be striped in the color of the tag you are giving it: for an overview mode or something.B1.The possiblity is already there; it's just hidden and convoluted: Just enable/disable scuttage a bunch of times so they get rebellious. I would like to be able to do this without tricks however. It's not that far-fetched for a country to choose the date when it integrates it's subject. It's honestly pretty logical and kinda weird that we don't have this.And by all means in order to avoid exploits make it so the diplomat has to stay there although one might argue for allowing the detachement of the diplomat and saving the progress like how a spynetwork is saved; hell you might even argue for including a 'cost': 1 integration point gets removed a month as a cost for pausing it. But please let us control this crucial and expensive process a bit more.Also solves Issues when you lose a diplomat by for example losing control of the curia. If the diplomat you gained from the curia was used to integrate your PU France and was at 99.7% progress you suddenly lose all progress and have to restart from scratch. Sure you can task-manager close the game but that's hardly a way to fix this design.B2.Pretty straightforward: When you select annex vassals have a slider there that allows you to tell the diplomat not use diplomatic points if it means your points will drop below say 200. This allows you to still do things like reduce war-exhaustion if you are integrating a big vassal without, as mentioned before, trick your vassal into thinking it's rebbelious by enabling/disabling scutage then waiting untill you have enough to do something with your diplomatic points.B3.Pretty much for the same reasons as B2; when select annex vassal let us choose how many points its using and have it be adjustable. If I had a 6 dip ruler im fine with spending 12 points a month on integrating my vassal but if he dies and my 0 dip ruler takes the throne I might not be so happy. Additionally this lets us 'time' integrations so they sync up. Have it show in that screen how long it will take. Then when clicking on the diplomatic screen for the vassal where it used to say: "annex vassal" it should say something like "adjust annextion" The pause button could be there aswell.===================================================================================These are by far my biggest gripes with using vassals; apart from their armies being hard to control but hey, that has seen plenty of improvement already and with enough practice you can sort of get them to do what you want.Besides It'd be weird if they just did exactly what you wanted them to do all the time.I'm allright with using vassals more often and more extensively but I feel like this changes would actually make that a more appealing perspective.Thanks in advance for reading, love your stuff, love the elephants, love the governments but felt like this needed to be said.
