Opposing kd is utilizing this tactic in a long dragged out war, but our kd does not have enough contacts to follow suit and recruit up to 25 at a moment's notice. Should prohibit this blatant abuse from happening, especially since returning from vacation mode in war is prohibited, as one of our provinces is still stuck in vacation mode, making us vastly outnumbered.
Or at least make it so that any newly added provinces stay in protection indefinitely until war is completed, so that is at least something equivalent to vacation mode.
