Vassal Vassalge the master?

[tripp_trap]

Sorry if this bug (if it is a bug?) has already been reported, i searched and found nothing.

As Sweden in GC, i am vassal of Denmark.

Yet when i have 190+ relation with them i can offer vassalization with them.
Is it a bug?

I suppose so, yes, but I don't recall anyone reporting this. What version, beta, mods if any? Got a save game that shows the problem so I can duplicate it?

The problem occurs for vassal command in events too.
In AGCEEP, for example, Austria "inherits" Modena and Tuscany by vassalization even if Austria is already vassal of the involved country.
I solved the problem by adding a "NOT = { vassal = { country = XXX country = HAB } }" condition in trigger (See post 477 in AGCEEP Italy Thread), but still, the vassal command should not have worked without the trigger. No?

Ideally not, but as it is within the power of event writers to prevent it (as you have), I don't see it as being a real problem.

I agree for modders... but the "power" should apply to programmers too :
Obviously, "NOT = { vassal = { country = <my liege> country = <me> } }" is missing somewhere in EUII's code

Johan has generally taken the line that if event coding can take care of an issue then he will not do so as well in the EU2 code. Given there is no chance of this being implemented by Paradox, I'll leave it as is. Thanks for the report though.

Perhaps you should suggest this to Havard as a clarification to the command as descibed on his site.
