Well, now, that's an interesting question.
If a realm were to attempt to create a colony right inside another realm that they are at war with, out of regions that are clearly too far away from their own capital not to revolt almost immediately, should that be considered a strategic secession? It's not like there's anything else they could do with those regions...
In the past, we would have just told them to run a CTO. CTOs have never been considered "strategic". Probably because of the difficulty of actually completing a CTO, as well as the state in which the TO leaves the fledgling realm. A secession, however, instantly gives you a functional realm in much better condition.
But now you can't do a CTO.
But you *can* run a normal TO a region on the opposite side of the map, which you never cold do before....
It really is an interesting question. Can you run a TO at that distance, and then hold the region long enough to appoint a lord, make the duchy, and have the duke secede fast enough that the region is still in good enough condition to not instantly revolt, even when you factor in the damage a secession causes?
