Hi everyone,

Since the last patch, the expand empire CB doesn't work. With my Austria run, the CB didn't show up after I passed the third HRE reform adn tried to use it on my neighbours. And I've read a loooot of posts seeing people doubting of it and asking if the nations that are attacked are small enough, bordering the HRE, christian and in Europe : yes, yes, yes and yes.

Is there something planned by the developpers to fix this?

Thank you!

I have the same problem, the option does not appear in the war declaration interface, and yes, the nations are nations of 1 province with less than 20 developments
 
Hello, I have been going through the game files and I have come to this conclusion
File: 00_cb_types.txt
Definition: cb_force_join_hre
Line: prerequisites

This command produces the error
prerequisites = {
can_use_peace_treaty = {
who = FROM
treaty = po_join_empire
}

If you delete it, the casus belli begins to appear in the war interface, but the problem is that this seems to be the command that prevents it from being used against large nations or vassals, this code can be a solution until paradox fixes it....
cb_force_join_hre = {
valid_for_subject = no

prerequisites = {
has_dlc = "Emperor"
ROOT = {
is_emperor = yes
hre_reform_passed = emperor_reichsstabilitaet
}
FROM = {
is_subject = no
NOT = { num_of_cities = 7 }

religion_group = ROOT
capital_scope = {
same_continent = ROOT
is_part_of_hre = no
}
any_owned_province = {
any_neighbor_province = {
is_part_of_hre = yes
}
}
}
}

war_goal = take_capital_force_join_hre
}
*** You can't use it against subject nations or nations that have 7 or more regions.

To end my game, I went to the game files and changed it to turn myself in (this will disable achievements) =
C:\Archivos de programa (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Europa Universalis IV\common\cb_types

If instead you want an easier way, I have posted a simple mod as a patch, you just need to subscribe (for new games) =

Any word on if and when this might be fixed? I am on a pretty good run as Austria and don't want it derailed by a bug. I am not confident enough in my abilities to modify the game files to fix this.

i tried it. When i pass the reform on declare war tab there is cb about expand empire but when i clicked there is no selectable cb the only option is no casus belli.
 
Seems like the issue is still present when will it get fixed? Playing a multiplayer game on hre, the guy playing the emperor can't add new nation through the casus Belli which is annoying

Assuming there is a thread or threads in Bug Reports on the problem, please ask there - we in tech support are not in the patching or development loop.

This is one of the issues which is supposed to get fixed in the next minor patch which is supposed to get released at some point in this month
