Ally not wanting to join a war even if they have no visible reasons for it.

So I want to call Spain to help me in my war, they have much more positive points than negative so normally they should accept. However they don't. Spain is defender of faith (that's why it appears as one of the possible defenders too). Has anybody seen anything similar before?

Defensive Call to Arms take priority, that's it.

 

[Hribor]

Even if they refusse to accept the defensive call? Ok, my mistake then, thanks!

You should be able to call them after they decline the defensive call.

Indeed, then call them in afterwards anyway, and they'll have lost Defender of the Faith to boot

 

[Hribor]

That's what I needed, thanks a lot!

Doesn't improving trust post-80 change some of the Defensive and Offensive CtA?

No, they won't accept after refusing the defensive CtA. Declining a CtA when you're DotF gives a truce.

No. Defensive CtA always takes priority over offensive if comparing direct call to direct call.

Exactly, there was a truce. I ended up losing that war as I could not reach London and I had -25 warscore without a single fight
