[@aussiemilitant4486]

with this mod you never worry about who is a major and who isn't, it will constantly change and you end up doing more micro than its worth. For eg. you ignored Ireland for years and got constant naval invasions from it, all because they were not a 'major', yet they just became one once u destroyed a couple.

[@Decrupt]

He thought he could capitulate them all if he killed the majors (like usually in HOI4), but the majors just switched and changed since the limited nations in the world.

[@aussiemilitant4486]

@@Decrupt no, thats normal HoI4 behaviour, hence why he should have focused differently. Since release the game has always made minors into majors (once some majors have capped) as some sort of hardcoded 'difficulty' that Paradox chucked in to make it feel more difficulty without actually making the AI smarter.
