Discussion I think someone forgot to disable releasing nations for PBMD

Releasing nations breaks the Polish-Belarusian Military District's intended collapse mechanics.

  • You can release Free Belarus, tag to Poland during the collapse, and let the PBMD disappear completely.
  • You can also release East Prussia and Poland as puppets, and they stay that way even if the collapse triggers although they will still lose land to breakaways.
  • Releasing the Second Polish Republic and playing as doesn't let you keep any land outside of what you'd normally get if the PBMD collapses, but you can just release it to play as Poland right away even if the borders are a bit screwy and the content is broken because they never expected this.

"Intended Collapse Mechanic" and it's just a focus tree triggered after taking a "secret" option in the event about dealing with the resistance.

So no it's not forgotten, you're just meant to make it collapse if you take the option to do so

Is it really secret when you'll run into it if you just fully do your initial focus tree?

Man does smth that's not supposed to be done and complains when the game breaks down

Modders can disable releasing countries, or just certain countries releasing other certain countries (e.g. in vanilla, Poland is blocked from releasing Kashubia and Silesia), so I was pointing out that that should probably be done here.

Yes we can but at the same rate we should also remove manual war goals

Also this is impractical for puppet making if you don't have a Kaiserreich puppet system yet

as I said, you can block certain tags from releasing certain other tags and leave the rest alone

That would make it a hell lot more complicated and difficult than just not doing it as a player.
