Just finished an Ardabil into Iran campaign, as a secondary goal I had the AI form Qing to complete the "Sino-Persian Relations" mission in style and as a tertiary goal I force converted most of Europe (I couldn't be bothered to invade Britain).

It was a fun run especially towards the end when you could stack wipe all of the euros army also not having to worry about manpower having two different buttons that summon hundreds of thousands of manpower. Persian influence is a bit confusing in how it's implemented and also promoting culture is basically useless since the AI does not culture convert.

Also i know that shia has three schools of law but for some reason all europeans decided to go with Ismaili, I don't think it's a bug since I converted Somalia and it went with Zaidi.

Currently playing as Iran and I wanted to make use of the cultural influence mechanic but somehow it says that it would cost more than 100 influence wich should be impossible since I only elevated 1 country.

Could it be that since I used the influence actions enoough to give a -100 cost, the game doesn't know how to process that and it bugged?

EDIT: Solved, I'm an idiot who doesn't read.
