BUG: Britian has no land but they're 0% toward capitulation.

[Radioactive]

So long story short I have destroyed the entire cominterm, most of the allies, and all but the British Empire on the Axis as the almighty Międzymorze Alliance. With that being said I wanted to clean up the rest of Eurasia, invading Iran, Aghanistan, so on and so forth.

I then decided to finish off the Axis, which had been reduced to the single city of Singapore (under the control of the formerly German puppet, British Empire). I take the city and the last surrounding lands and nothing. Its not that I forgot about some key part of land, their progress for capitulation was completely uneffected despite it being their last city, remaining at a stable 0%.

I've never come across a bug like this, after all, I had managed to conquer a whole slew of countries without this problem.

I suspect this has something to do with the British Empire being a puppet - in my war with Germany, Germany got puppeted by one of my allies however the British Empire managed to it gets independence.

EDIT: This bug is caused due to a nation not having any of its core lands at the start of the war.

In the example I brought up, England had lost all of its lands except for Singapore (in an earlier war), which is a colony state rather than a core state. Thus when I conquered it, it did not force them to surrender despite them haveing literally no other land.

Ever heard of British stoicism? This may be some extreme expression of the thing. :-)
Seriously now, the country will have a different name if it is being puppetted. Like for example "Republic of Russia" when France puppets U.S.S.R. You should be able to tell this way.

Cheers mate!

I'm well aware of the name changes. When I said Britian I was always refering to the British Empire, since that's the only version of Britian that exists in my timeline/playthrough.

Speaking of Russia, I tried destroying them entirely as Poland, sadly Estonia decided to puppet them so now they're just a single state nation out of Kalinin.

Edit: And I know they're no longer a puppet of Germany because Germany is a puppet of Latvia, which is part of my allaince.

I had a similar bug appear after my wars were complete, USA declared war on a minor nation in china and 2 other nations joined it, all 3 nations were wiped out very quickly but the war wont end. All nations are at 0%.

I had to give up that save which was annoying as I was going for the British empire achievement.

I had that glitch happen in my One Empire achievement run. All you have to do is conquer every single piece of land that they have, and they will be eliminated from the game. It's some kind of glitch that happens when a country loses all of its core territory during a war and is left with only their colonial possessions.

Sometimes u cant get a country to surrender fully. they light keep bits of land or if u do annex them they might be annexed by another member of ur alliance. Had that prob with the USA. Did plan red to annex Canada only for Italy to get it all lol. Including all the UK Australia france all of Africa and just about every bit of the Allies land all went to italy. USA did all the fighting and got nothing out of it at all. Italy did nothing and got everything lol. Then it was war against the SU beat them after landing in siberia while the Italion ♥♥♥♥ and Germans were getting pushed back. Got to Berlin to link up the the Axis troops who had been pushed back. piece deal again Italy got everything. By the end of 1952 all that was left was germanies original land USA with its original borders Japan with just its home island and Italy having everything else lol.

Happened to me with Italy during my second war with them.

I too have run into this problem and it is exceedingly annoying. Once the great war starts it seems you have to take every last sliver of territory from a hostile nation for it to truely be elimenated. The capitulations are meaningless aside from the points they award you, as the capitulated nations armed forces will continue fighting in the war.

Capitulation is based on national unity. For example, if you go ultra aggresive with Germany you can conquer Franch by taking just a few cities since they only have 25% unity at the start.

Same goes with the USSR, kill them while they have 50% unity and the war is much easier.

Germany on the other hand has really high unity, so in other words you have to take almost all of their land (unless of course you start dropping Nukes).

The bug that I started this thread for is caused by a glitch in that nations that have no core lands at the start of a war cannot surrender.
