Scotland Full Annexation..Option Greyed out for some reason...

[Soprano *Capo di tutti Capi*]

Hello, i recently waged war on Scotland as England and have occupied all their provinces, somehow, it wont let me demand full annexation, it does allow me to offer annexation of most of their provinces but the full annexation option is greyed out, the warscore needed to achieve this is 80% and i currently am at 100%.

Any idea how i can fully annex Scotland? I just want to know what im missing, thanks.

Do you have any other demands selected? I don't think you can select it if you do.

not sure tbh, do you hold their capital or does your ally? (not sure if it makes a difference, but you personaly need to hold their capital to make them a vassal).

Ihave you selected any provinces to get from the deal (like how you'd normally select provinces if the score is too high for full annex.) i think if you have already checked a province to transfer to yourself, the option my be greyed out.

just thinking, are they a smaller partner in the war? coz if they are you have to manually select all their cores. that's what i had to do w/ korea, when ming was in control after i declared on korea.

If you clear score does it show you as offering white peace? If yes then is full annexation still greyed out? If yes then check if you have the occupations not an ally.

It sounds like you either have another province selected you want them to cede, or a core you want them to return. The full annexation option should always be at 100%, and is the only option you can choose for that peace deal.

Wanted to write this, full annex ought to be 100%, so I think something is ticked off somewhere in the peace deal ;P

Hello, i figured it out.

Thank you for all your invaluable help, the issue was the ducats i was demanding (40 (but turns out i cannot demand full annexation if i were to demand any number of ducats as part of the deal)). I would think EU IV would advise that you cannot demand full annexation if you demand ducats, i decremented my demand for ducats to 0 and the full annexation option was available right away.

Initially i did deselect all other provinces, but that did not help, so as it turns out, demanding ducats is incompatible with demanding full annexation in this instance, im sure ill learn why as i play more, but does anyone know the correlation between that rule?

Thanks again in advance.

As I said earlier, Full Annexation is always the only possible option if you go for it.

A warleader may freely give away land of his allies though, only the actual province costs counts then. Seperate peaces with as many members as possible is usually the better option though.

You can sometimes go for a peace deal greater than your warscore (IE. Have a 59 warscore and get a 71% peace deal)

However, you can never go above a 100% peace deal, and a full annexation demand will always be 100%, regardless of if it's a single province with 2-base tax or a 5 province kingdom.

Untill the country you occupied has a too large tax base too annex. Ea then the offer will be > 100% and you cant annex it.

@seth: you can play around a bit with peace offers, and then use the 'clear offer' when you've foud something intersting and make the offer you rly want, removing stuff you've selected and which isnt quiete what you want.

OK, thanks everyone, Kageryuu, when you suggested i first clear offers i thought i only need to clear offers where i'm demanding provinces, not ducats. I'm clear now. Thanks For the "Clear Now" suggestion too Smeggy. That's probably the easiest way.
