allies never help when playing in the italian region

[diLuca]

i encountered this problem the first time a year ago, and i have this problem today again like many times in this period.

when playing as an italian nation with an ally like spain or poland i have huge problem with them when they join me as ally in a war. they just won't come when i am fighting a war on the opposed side of the holy roman empire. this is very frustrating because this scenario is mostly in the late mid to endgame and those wars are mostly the most important wars of the whole run i am playing.

attached the current game:
i am tuscany
i am the emperor of the holy roman empire, so yes, commonwealth can freely move to france, my enemy.
but they don't. they sit in their region and won't come.
and yes, i assigned them also region to siege down as objective.

i don't think i missed something but yeah, enlighten me please if i missed something why they won't come. for now its a bug for me, and this bug is lasting already since i bought the game over a year ago since i mostly play around italy.

ps: right before this war i had a war vs the ottomans. france joined the war on my side cause they where defender of fight. they did not come and just ran around the holy roman empire without even touching the ottoman territory. and yes, they had every military access they needed to come.

Aren't they fighting Brandenburg right now?

AI generally targets the weaker nations first- which is actually why players sometimes they feel targetted by the AI in wars- so in the PLC's wars, BB will be the weakest target. Surely they'll come to France afterwards.

thats was a sieged region of commonwealth by france. bb is not in the war. france came with some soldiers, sieged it and went back. commonwealth just went there to get it back.

but good to know about the weaker nation target first. i don't think this should be this way since i gave target objective to commonwealth. this "feature" must be there for a reason i thought. i gota reload the game and see what happens cause i stoped it when i saw nothing happening from my allies

Hmm well if that's the case.. reload your save game and see if it resets the AI- sometimes they just die and don't even react defensively. Heck the French AI completely died once during the Dev stream.

thanks, aparentely reloading the game which wasn't on purpose worked. they finally start coming. oh well lets see what happens now after all my casualties since i play on very hard.

devs please, check the ai and especially the assign objective "feature". its very frustrating losing such a war within minutes after playing the run for days
