Cores on Transylvania

[CynicalDutchie]

How do you gain cores on transylvania as hungary? After researching "Claim Transylvania" you get the option to back down or go to war, the option for backing down says you lose cores on transylvania but even if you choose war the provinces will revert to colony states. Is there anyway to keep cores on transylvania as hungary? I have reloaded the game several times but regardless of which options I pick I can't get those extra core states!

i picked go to war and it starts an event where you get to pick a nation to do delagations for you and if it works you get the territory if it doesnt you have to go to war to claim it. sadly after that event all the other events for claiming land back doesnt work. this whole DLC is bugged and shows that the ppl that got it for free and early didnt report to the devs the problems with it. i'm not even going to play until they fix hungary because right now there unplayable.

Yeah came here to say the same thing. Either the dialogue is in error, or the event's mechanics are bugged; the dialogue indicates that you should be getting cores on the Transylvanian states if Romania either gives in to your demands or the dispute is mediated in your favour (Specifically, the option to back down as Hungary notes that you will lose your cores on these territories), but when you actually get the territories (either through war, demands, or mediation) they are colony states.

Pretty disappointing tbh because my burgeoning Empire only has about 150k manpower available with less than a hundred full divisions in the field and I was really hoping for that shot in the arm from annexing Trannytown. It makes sense for not all of them to be cores, since historically only the northern-most regions of Transylvania were mostly Magyar (which ultimately is why Germany historically only gave Northern Transylvania to Hungary) but I went from elated to see that ol' Adolph had won me the whole territory to deflated when I saw that not even Northern Transylvania was a core and thus my manpower hardly budged at all.

Yeah I went into the event file for Hungary and it definitely reads as though Romania agreeing to concede the territories causes the cores to be removed. Is that WAI? It just doesn't make sense.

If it is working as intended, then shouldn't Hungary just never have the cores to begin with, since there presumably is no circumstance that allows them to be kept? Because that's really misleading--imagine if I had actually gone to war with Romania thinking I was going to get three core states and ended up basically just getting six factories out of it.
