Permanent CBs?

[unmerged(2134)]

Okay, other than having them at the start of the game and having someone take one of your national provinces, how does a permanent CB occur? Can you inherit one? I am playing England and I periodically go over each countries relations by clicking them on and I noticed that Poland-Lithuania had a perm CB against me. Huh? I have never fought a war against them, never been in an alliance with them that I broke, in fact my relations is relative high - 120+. So Why? The only thing I could think of was that I recently annexed the Hanseatic League. Could Poland have had a permanent CB agaisnt the HSA which I inherited?

Poland regards some of the Hansic provinces as their "heart provinces" - their right. A country has a permanent CB towards any country owning one of "their" heart provinces (your heart provinces are those with the english shield upon - when you look at the political map (you can't see other countries heart provinces this way)).
Often different countries can regard the same province as their right.

Spain also gets a CB versus all non-Catholic nations at the start.

Just to expand on the core province issue, the CB follows
whomever owns the other country's "core province".

Example playing Venice I watch Bavaria grab Tyrol and Styria
from Austria. Austria has permanent CB on Bavaria. Taking advantage of an opportunity I DoW Bavaria (several years later) and take Styria from Bavaria. However as a core Austrian province, Austria now has a permanent CB against me (Venice.)

So does that mean that if I take over one of the Muslim African States, Spain will have a perm CB against me? I guess that really doesn't matter since I've already grabbed a province or two from Spain.

Well, that depends on ur religion.

A heavy problem with minors is to have a cb. As Brandenburg, I did not have one at the beginning. So, when I declared war against Bohemia or Hannover, I did not have CB (ouch!) so stab. dropped to 0. But I came back to +3 in a year!

Now, Hannover and Austria have a perm. cb against me (Bohemia is consider by Austria as national province. Sorry Austrians, I annexed it...)

Should have used the IGC. Brandenburg has plenty CBs then
