Force joining/creating Hegemony Fed?

[Holy Fool Sehrael]

Hi there,

I'm encountering a problem where I am unable to invite more members to an hegemony led by me because they dislike another faction that's already in. Is there maybe a mod that gives me access to the "Force Join" Casus Belli as soon as the hegemony is formed instead of having to wait until level 3 and depending on luck that someone doesn't dislike a faction? I thought maybe it's the point that in a hegemony that's controlled by one faction, it shouldn't matter if they dislike each other.

Or do you have other tips on how to handle federations? It seems to generally be a problem. Even as xenophiles and being friendly with everyone, I often cannot invite others into a democratic federation because they just hate each other and then I can't invite others other than giving them assoziation status (Whatever that is good for) because of the distance malus.

This is a little frustrating, maybe you know some solutions or tips.

It takes some time to solidify your control of the hegemony to the point that the other members don't matter.

You have to choose your friends carefully. If an empire can be brought in, you also have to consider whether they should be. In some cases the right answer might be to conquer an otherwise friendly neighbor (with conflicting ethics) and then release their systems as one or more vassals (with ideology matching your own) that you then bring into the federation, so that the federation remains a more cohesive body with ideals and goals that are more closely aligned.

Liberation Wars are very helpful and is the semi peaceful way to bring in hated empires.
