All armies destroyed, all provinces occupied, but only 40% war score

[RedArmy]

I was fighting the league war against Austria, I was able to peace out all my ennemies except Austria. I destroyed all the remaining armies, i occupied all of the austrian provinces, but my war score is only 40%. I have no way to increase my WS now so I can’t demand religious supremacy in the peace deal. It seems my league lost most of the battles. However, peacing out all ennemies and occupying everything should be considered total victory! I disagree with the way WS is calculated here.

If you actually, really, totally have occupied every single province with none of your own or your allies' occupied, your war score will be 100%. Double check that you're not missing one somewhere. Look in the tooltip when you mouse over the war score percentage in the war overview screen to see if anything except the Show Supremacy war goal is contributing a negative contribution.

You must be mistaken fully occupied and none of your provinces occupied always means 100% war score.

 

[Vetgirig]

The other side has more then 10% warscore from battles and thus 25% from owning the war goal ?

But even with that you should have 65% war score.

Another option would be that your opponents is in another war and is sieged down in that war and thus you can't occupy all their provinces. But that was not mentioned so its probably not the case.

I can only conclude that OP must have forgotten to siege down the enemies all provinces. If the enemy has sieged down any of your provinces they now count as the enemies provinces - so you must unsiege them.

If the enemy is truly defeated (all provinces and armies killed) then in a month or two they'll unconditionally surrender

screenshots my dude, screenshots.

 

[RedArmy]

Screenshots and savegame attached. All the different colors are my allies of the league, Austria is not another war.

As you can see, if I wait my warscore is still decreasing.

 

[Vetgirig]

Ouch - 40% warscore from enemy winning battles and -23% from enemy owning wargoal.

With no enemy troops available to beat up.



If you wait Austria should get rebels. When the rebels spawn you can peace out and win the war.
Rebels is a reason to accept a peace deal.

PS Tooltip for 40% show from where warscore are.

 

[Vetgirig]

Sadly the AI killed off Austrias rebels too fast for it to work.

After letting it run for a bit.

Austria offer religious peace in a peace deal. That is probably the best you can get.

Ottomans had an OP 100k doomstack, it explains why my league lost so many battles…

 

[Lykus Cerebros]

Doesn't the enemy surrenders after 5 years with no battles and complete occupation?
I had it once happen to me when I was occupying all provinces of an enemy and couldn't reach his ally. Got me to 100 % warscore.

 

[RedArmy]

So I need to wait 5 more years… Ok, thank you!

 

[grotaclas]

I looked at your save. Austria occupies the province Zouara in North Africa. If you unsiege it you will get 100% warscore

 

[RedArmy]

Really? I missed that one! Thank you

You have to love the calculation of the game.

Our whole heartland is being occupied and we have no troops left.
Don't worry we managed to occupy some desert on the other side of the world. That will show them. xD

That’s why I maintain that I still hate the way warscore is calculated ^^’

In theory, they can hire mercenaries there. With all their proven superiority, they believe those mercenaries have a chance of getting them to win.
