Earlier, when you do a separate peace, the "status quo" wargoal changed to a "free people" one, which made sense(but was only limited to 1 state, I think).
Does it say the reason why you can't negotiate when you hover over "propose peace"?
Here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/75705911@N04/7093564659/in/photostream. As you can see, the option of negotiating separate peace is not available.

You see, this is the type of warfare I like best, 150 brigades fighting a combine force of 400-500 brigades simultaneously. I used to be able to execute this before 2.3, I need to know if 2.3 patch had changed that? This being my first 2.3 game. Don't feel like spending 10 years fighting a war that end up with nothing achieved.
Fellow gamers, please help.
