Allies of Allies for Human players

[unmerged(778134)]

I noticed when a Human player goes to war with someone His allies will call to arms His allies. I however noticed the Human player cannot do this. Or is there something I'm missing? Because My call to arms button isn't there whenever I join a Friend's war.

Is there a reason for this? Because the AI has this option from what it seems.

My allies have dragged me into their allies wars a few times.

But I noticed when an ally calls You into a war, You cannot call Your allies to war.

ala Burgundy declares war on Cologne, Cologne calls in Brandenburg, Brandenburg calls in Poland etc...

I noticed players cannot do this.

The AI can't do this either unless the war leader changes

But the player never gets warleader status, even when a minor is under attack.

It happens, you are probably just not big enough in your current game. One of my allies ended up becoming the HRE, and he constantly pulled me into every war in HRE because he was pulled in, but because I was bigger than he was, I became war leader and could also call my allies. Really silly though. Burgundy defending HRE on behalf of Saxony, pulling in Portugal and Hungary. Jesus...

Sometimes it happens, though I don't know all the situations. I think if the Emperor/Defender of the Faith get involved, they become war leader. Though I am pretty sure in some situations if one ally is just SOOOOOOOO much bigger then they will become leader.


EDIT: Although that guy above me had the HRE give up war leader status. Might just depend on your contribution to the alliance army size (i.e. maybe 50%+ or something?)

Rememeber if you are on the offensive side the attacker always stay warleader (otherwise they could not negotiate for what they want). Only defensive wars shift.
