^ This is a textbook example of why I'm not bothering with DW2 currently, and probably won't be for a long time to come still. Shit like this was supposed to have been vastly improved/made a lot easier than in the original game, but that's not happened.
I'm starting to worry that the game might not be where it ought to be, even in a year's time. Hopefully that's just the natural cynic/pessimist in me, but I'm really not holding my breath at this point.
In the meantime, give me Stellaris any day. Say what you will about it, but it's a hell of a lot more intuitive and easier to play. (I can't believe I'm saying that about a Paradox title, yet here we are.)
