Could you develop an OPM to the level where it cannot be annexed in a war?

Just for fun. Is there a point where the development of the OPM province exceeds 100% war score to take it. Would you become invincible!? Is this feasable? Ive tried it before but i couldn't achieve the level that it takes. Curious if anyone else thought of this and whether or not it is possible.

Use the console, keep awarding yourself points and try to develop a province that high (to check, tag switch, declare war, and check warscore costs), see if you can do it.

It definitly seems possible, if you could get it that high

Development cost caps at your max point capacity, so you can develop ridiculously high with console.

I always thought that province war score cost is capped (but I don't know at which value) but cannot check right now. I think I'm trying that tonight.

For warscore province cost has cap of 30:

Thats a shame... Thanks anyway!

For every 1 development you get 1 overextension (without modifiers at least). So even though you can always annex a province, if it has 100 development and you dont have admin efficency, you shouldn't be able to do it without going over 100 overextension :D
Didn't try it though... Feel free to do it ;)

Warscore cost is capped...overextension however is not. You can literally try to break a country by giving them an insanely high development province to them. One of Florryworry’s subs found a silly ass exploit with the new missions system involving missions that give development where on auto save and having an auto clicker will “click” that mission button a ton of times which will cause that province to have thousands of development, yes you read that correctly. It’s so dumb but it’s hilarious. So you can give that province away to someone and hey will end up having thousands of overextension from it.

He also thinks that it might happen occasionally for the AI as well because some provinces have gotten more development than it would usually get. Maybe not as ridiculous as the amount he got but still pretty high.

That will be fixed so we won't have to see a 5000 development Haixi again, if today's dev diary is any indication.

For most purposes with the console, you fire fire up old event 5073 with an optional province id, it is the one with the choice between 1 base tax, production, or manpower. If only the development would gradually improve with all the money spent on construction.

Alright glad to hear they’re working on patching that. Really silly to see a 20,000 development U-Tsang :)
