    Does anybody know if a protectorate counts a territory into your victory conditions? I made Chechnya a protectorate without realising that for Russia it is a must have... suppose I could crush them but it just feels wrong! ;)

    No. As it stands now you have to own the territory in order to achieve victory. I am thinking that this will be fixed in an upcoming patch. Because like you, I am not looking forward to breaking my 40 year protectorate deal with Hanover.

    Granted, they didnt help in any of my wars for German Re-Unification and all they did was sit in their territory with 2 full stacks of troops even when I was fighting Westphallia right next door. Even with me funneling cash to them.

    What ever happened to the Attack Faction choice in the diplomacy screen? 99% of the time the AI would either reject the proposal, or they would accept it for a boatload of cash and then never attack your enemy. But it was nice to have and I had hoped that with the updated diplomacy for ETW that it just might work this time. Oh well.

    Thanks Phog. While on the subject of missing diplomacy... what happened to the demand they make peace... annoying that your allies continue to squabble amongst themselves when there are papists to squash. (moved on to playing Netherlands after evil crushing of Chechnya resulted in victory for Russia)

    The protectorate option doesn't show up immediately you have to check the peace treaty, then the protectorate option comes up
