"Conquest" Option Mod?

[JOHNNY SEALION]

I'm curently getting back into Victoria 2, and I am enjoying it, however, is there a cheat/mod I can get so I can fully annex/ have the "conquest" option available for every nation, and not just small ones? I know it's unrealistic for the time period, but it is just my personal preference ^^

I guess you can go into the game files (Steam / steamapps / common / Victoria II) and open common / cb_types.txt, scroll down to Conquest CB and remove the "NOT = {number_of_states = X }" remarks.
e.g. http://puu.sh/iTfZo/36aeb9a3c8.png

Its not so much about historicality, its more about gameplay issues^^ If you can annex states like China in one war, you can just as well make an event that instant declares you the winner at day1 :P But to each his own

P.S. : Dont forget to save the original cb_types.txt, just rename the copy to "cb_types_original " or something, otherwise you'd have to verify the game. Not that it takes long but its a tad more annoying :)

If you have a countrie in sphere you can annex it. Simply click on the § button (Next to 1) and write tag (plus the countrie you have in spheres tag ex. China=Chi) and after that you write event 60120 and don't click anything. Go back to the countrie you started as and click the first alternative twice. Now you can annex it

I hope this helped you (You can not annex a grest power ex. France or USA)

Thank you guys for the replies. Really means a lot to me :)

Do you mean just delete the entire "NOT = { number_of_states = 5 }"?

oh, I have it now. Thank you so much! You have just saved VC2 for me. I'm trying to revive Napoleonic France, and by the time I had the army to take Italy (which was protected by all of the gps) It was like, 1890, and there is no way i could have taken all of Germany, Austria, Italy, and bits of Russia without this! Ty!
