I was thinking about an interesting new game for me that isn't always screwing around in Europe or having to work around Ming. So I'm interested in playing a country and making an exodus to the new world. Since this is only possible through colonial nations like 200 (at least somewhere around 100 years normally) for a colonial nation to become independent, I wanted to know some interesting countries/cultures/religions for an exodus there. Something along the lines of a new world Albania maybe.

So recently I've been having different dreams which all had old classmates appear in them. Generally the dreams weren't about school and I'd like to find out why they appear in my dreams all of a sudden. The thing is, it's not like they're classmates from my last years at school, but ones I haven't seen and haven't been in a class with for like 7 years. They include old classmates like old friends, just classmates I didn't know that well and even an old teen crush.

Is there any meaning behind classmates I haven't seen in 7 years all of a sudden appearing in recent dreams?

Does anyone know of a mod which still works with the current patch that allows Germany to form/puppet Reichsprotectorates and the Generalgouvernement with (more or less) historic borders? I'd love a mod where it's possible to make those happen in my next Germany run instead of just occupying those areas until the war is over and then either puppeting or annexing them.

What do I do with them? I've gotten two so far and finished the main story and all quests I could find. I've gotten one from Rat in the outlaw base and one from an exiled berserker who I helped to be accepted back. Both just said I'll know what they're good for when the time comes. Seems like that time hasn't come yet.

I'm currently in 3 entire wars together with an AI empire that I have a defensive pact with. 2 wars are still pretty new, but in the first we have 58% warscore, yet my AI ally who is war leader will not negotiate peace. Is there anyway you can force the AI to make peace or deliver some kind of ultimatum to your ally that you're about to peace out yourself?

So I wanted to recruit a small defensive army for a conquered planet on a different planet and ship them over, but I can't embark any defensive armies? Was this feature removed?
