China fantasy scenario

[unmerged(2585)]

I'm an EU newbie and this is the first 'real' game after tutorial. I started a war with Mughal and managed to siege Delhi (Mughal capitol and CoT) and get it surrender. I had also almost all the other Mughal colonies controlled by me.

Then I wanted to annex new colonies via peace negotiations, but Delhi wasn't on the list. So, what's the point of sieging a capitol if you can't get it? What I'm missing here? Is the only way to completely annex Mughal to start a war, get 3 colonies with peace negotiations, wait 5 years and then repeat the cycle? Our relations are -200 (lowest?) so I doubt of any diplomatic resolution.

I must say that the manual is pretty useless and gets me higly frustrated. Please someone help me, thank you.

U can only get a country's capital if u totally annex their country.

Controlling a capital gets U 4 stars at the negotiation table though, which is quite handy.

Thanks BiB for your answer. This total annexation, how do I do it? Is it a new option offered with peace negotations if I manage to get control over all the nation's cities & colonies?

If u control all provinces anc cities of them then the annexation option will be the first available in peace negotiations.

Bot dont forget you can only annex Minors. And Moghul Empire and the rest of the countries in the Fantasia scenario are Majors.

I tested what will happen if I just leave my forces to all Mughal Empire provinces and after two years came message:

"Mughal Empire goverment has collapsed"

The result: immediate peace resolution, all his colonies & cities got annexed to my empire except Delphi, their capitol.

I haven't found this in manual. Is this a good strategy to annex major nations?

It's a way to get more than 3 provinces in 1 go.
