Not possible to give provinces away?

[erebrus]

Is there anyway we can exchange provinces in S2TW?

[TiTiTimmy]

The options isn't in diplomacy, so it's a no

[erebrus]

I was hoping there was some art to research for it that I didn't know about...sucks

Once an AI faction offered me trade, alliance and military access and wanted a province in exchange. I guess, the AI has a way to trade provinces.

I can't believe it.

Or are you thinking of the wrong game? Never heard of this for S2, and see no way for it to happen.

Nope, it happened in S2...

[CTD_or_Bust]

Yes, it was quite common in ETW and it was possible in M2TW/RTW. However for reasons I cannot imagine it was removed from S2TW.

Happened to me too, waaay back, i clicked 'counter offer' to get one of theirs instead and that was when I realized the 'give settlement' option was cut out. Maybe it was some leftover from previous titles.

I remember getting the offer (in S2) and wondering what interface feature I had missed (because I could not offer/demand a province via diplomacy). I guess, some leftover code (allowing AI to demand provinces) is floating underneath. After all, it was possible in ETW and S2 uses the same engine.

That's interesting. I haven't seen that yet. But I wonder if it's possible to code it back in, I've wanted to use it a couple times.

The feature was very easy to exploit in the previous games. With the huge amounts of cash you gain by looting, and very little penalty for a 9 honor daimyo, it would be even worse in S2. Maybe that's the reason.

[Adreno]

Yeah but it was fun making huge vassal states, liberating in ntw was great aswell

[Condottiere 40K]

It's not a feature I've seen in Shogun 2. It would solve a problem of disposing of less strategic provinces and preventing Realm Divide before you're ready.

[Hikaru Genji]

Aside from just being a nice feature, it also has a large historical precedent: Toyotomi Hideyoshi gave Tokugawa Ieyasu the Kanto provinces in exchange for Mikawa and a few others. It really is a shame that the feature isn't present.

[Phillyphries]

I wouldn't think to give away provinces this time around, hostages seem fine.

Other than the fact that the AI refuses to ever trade you any hostages, right?

Heh, I only use hosties to gain alliances and trade agreements. They give them back when they reach age don't they?

No it happens in S2. I was playing as the Oda. I had caputred Kyoto, had nearly 30 provinces, and had a army more powerful then all others combined and the Sagara asked for Owari and threatened to renew their attacks if I declined. I laughed so hard I pissed myself.

[TheBlackShogun]

No there isn't.
