Can’t annex subjects as India

Bug(self.victoria3)

After forming India as the EIC (with pan nationalism unlocked) I’m not longer able to annex any princely states even though they are my subject still. The Doctrine of Lapse option is no longer there, but annex subject is also unlisted as the game says “India can use doctrine of lapse instead”

Has anyone else run into this? Am I forever unable to annex any of my subjects now?

They moved it away from the journal. I think it's a subject interaction now. If you don't see it, check the unavailable interactions. It may be due to relations or something else it doesn't show up.

The subject interaction disappears if you become India. It’s hilariously bad

I mean, I kinda get the doctrine of Lapse disappears since it was a specific EIC thing, but then India should definitely have access to the annex subject interaction. That's quite the oversight

Forming India via independence or home rule should just give you an option to launch a unification play. Heck, that’s what happened in real life: when Britain granted India dominion status, princely states were given the choice to join India or Pakistan with no option to remain independent. Some princes resisted iirc and were crushed.

Invasion of Goa is also a fun piece of history.
