100 year long war (Possible bug)

[quinntan2222]

I was playing an ironman Japan game in which I vassalized Aztec and Spain declared war on Aztec with the casus belli granted by finishing exploration. I then became warleader and Spain occupied all the Aztec land and my land in the Americas. However, Spain will not agree to any kind of a peace and seem unwilling to try and get 100% warscore. Spain's war exhaustion remains near zero because of lucky nations godly rulers and the length of war modifier seems to have stopped ticking up so it is impossible to make peace.

maybe they just reduce their WE with dip points? Is the AI capable of doing that anyway?

There was another thread like this with a war between Mali and Spain. A developer commented that it was a bug, so you can post this as a bug.

Is it possible for you to "suggest offer" in the peace screen where the AI tells you what it would like from you?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what's happening. Since Spain is a lucky nation, their kings are good enough that they can constantly reduce their war exhaustion with diplo points without it negatively effecting their country too much, making the Call for Peace mechanic kinda useless.

Nope, can't suggest offer. They don't want anything I have except for a single province in Mexico that they got a claim on through an event or conceding defeat. Conceding defeat doesn't have enough warscore to work and trying to give them the province plus all my money makes the peace offer say wants concessions other than gold.

Interesting. It has to be a bug, since Call for Peace scales up over time. I don't think there's a cap either, so theoretically it can get so high it's physically impossible to pay off the war exhaustion- I've had it reach +0.33 a month, and even with the ideas that reduce the cost and reduce the amount gained per month it was unsustainable.

Wiz has previously commented that this is indeed a bug, one which will be fixed in the next patch.

does stabhit peaceoffers work against AI? if so you can send peaceoffers with 40% less value (or less) then the warscore. if AI declines they get -1 stability. you can repeat that every month. until they are at -3 stability
