Casus Belli
What's the fastest way to get a Casus Belli (reason for war) on another nation?

To justify a war (not sure if you need the expansions for it)
go to diplomacy, click on the target country and at the right bottom, the bottom right should be something like "Justify a war". takes between 180 and 360 days (depending on the cb)

Nope. Can't see anything like that. Seems I need this Heart of Darkness-DLC.

No you dont need that expansion although certainly they are both recommended if you are enjoying this game, as they add a lot.

In the vanilla game you are capable of fabricating a claim as well, recheck the diplomacy options. Note you have to have a country other than your own selected before it will allow you to select the fabricate a claim option.

I thought that CB justification was added in A House Divided.

Anyway, the closer your ruling party is to jingoism, the quicker your war justifications will be.

It should be in the diplomacy options.

No its always been in the game, otherwise how would you ever start a war in vanilla?

Well, page eight of the A House Divided manual says you can no longer declare war without a CB, so they've added a mechanic to allow you to create one. They have a pretty picture of the window and everything. I just kind of assumed that meant that you couldn't justify CBs in the original version.

Well to be honest I cant remember exactly as its a long time since I played vanilla - I seem to remember using it like forever so I assumed it was in vanilla but maybe it wasnt. MAybe someone on here will still have the vanilla version and be able to clarify.

Is there a way to disable the casus beli and just declare war outright like in the regular victoria 2?

You could turn the CasusBelli justification time to 1 day I guess, that would come close to it ... otherwise, I dont think so.

Well, or give by Events every nation a CB on everybody :P

If your government is jinjoism policy, it goes by faster too

Sadly no. I personally think you ought to be able to declare war with no CB for 8 bad boy points. All the defender's allies will come to aid automatically and three random non geat power neighbors join the defenders because they are THAT pissed at you. Then you could do a repeat of the Rue Brittania run!
