@@johnnotrealname8168 yeah, strange how we were the most loyal yet get few rewards, if any.

31:30 Wait, he doesn't know how that works? Basically whoever conquers a province gets the province (if certain criteria is met, like it needs to connect to their land etc.). But sometimes someone else gets the right to control the province. The thing is that only gets updated when the full province is conquered, leading sometimes to situations like that, where the AI gets a small stretch of not fully conquered provinces directly on the front, leaving you wating till you get your promised land.

Croatia is the worst country to form Austro-Hungary.
