Rather strange bug.

[Arilou]

Okay, this was pretty weird.

I'm playing as China, not yet civilized, for various reasons I've gone on an annexion spree in Central America (don't ask) Anyway the "European Intervention in Mexico" fires and England and France invade Mexico, I decide to join in (hoping to steal some factories or something) Anyway, after a pretty shrot war France and Britain has divided Mexico more or less between themselves (no peace is settled yet) I ask for peace with the Mexicans (they control nothing but I don't control any of their provinces either, so my warscore is 0) I demand that they become my satellite (hey, it's worth a try!) to my astonishment they accept...

BUT all provinces occupied by the french and british are immediately ceded to their respective controllers, making Mexico a rather strange red-blue mess. Mexico itself disappears briefly only to pop up in the southernmost californian province...

Is this a bug or WAD? If it is WAD then the designs of the developers are certainly mysterious

Any comments? Anyone knows what might be causing this?

I've used neville a total of one (1) times in allt eh timve I've played Victoria, and it was not in the same game

I'm 100% certain that Neville was turned off. My guess is that the AI only checked how many provinces they controlled (0) and not how many I did... Or something.

This isn't a bug. Like it or not, territory occupied by others stays with them if the country is annexed. I'm just surprised you could annex Mexico without actually having taken any territory....

Mexico wasn't annexed, it was satellited (though it disappeared for a month before it re-appeared in the southernmost province on the Californian peninsula) And no, it didn't revolt away, it just re-appeared.

Are you sure it wasn't annexed and then released as a satellite one month later?

Sounds pretty WAD, escept for the part where it disappears/reappears. What is it's current capital?

I'm guessing that Mexico was civilized and therefore unannexable in that war.

No, it was MY satellite and I sure as hell didn't release it.

Yeah, that's my guess to. Their capital moved to the southernmost province of the Californian peninsula (as that was the only one they owned)
