"An Ally's War Enthusiasm is Low"

[halby]

currently during war i'm always opening the war tab and scrolling thru looking at allies war enthusiasm... would be cooler if it just told me when an ally is in danger of sep peace.

I seem to recall a separate suggestion some time ago for a "I am about to separate peace" flag the player could use (both for mp and to drive AI war leaders to make peace); this would seem to be a useful expansion of that suggestion.

Yeah i remember it was suggested a while back, but it seems for some reason they didin't add it yet.. too bad bcs it would make sense for your ally to tell you that they can't fight anymore and want peace, you could just let them separate peace or you would get few months to peace out to avoid that.

Hope they add that.

Both things (AI notifying player and player notifying AI) would be very useful.

1. AI willingness to make separate peace is not determined only by their war enthusiasm, but also by opinions of the other side and possible peace terms. If you search this forum you can find reports of AI peacing out while having high enthusiasm, so it's not a reliable indicator.
2. Player's willingness to continue war has very loose correlation with in-game value of war enthusiasm. It may be desirable get out of war ASAP (e.g. to perform certain actions which are only possible at peace), or vice versa, it may be ok to drag war further despite of all opinion points (e.g. when player makes direct or indirect profit from ongoing war, or just wants to cripple enemies as much as possible).

I seem to recall a separate suggestion some time ago for a "I am about to separate peace" flag the player could use (both for mp and to drive AI war leaders to make peace); this would seem to be a useful expansion of that suggestion.

Found a couple of them: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...-separate-peace-if-they-dont-end-war.1140966/, https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/threaten-to-make-a-separate-peace.1096488/. But (as mentioned above) I think it should go both ways, i.e. it should also be possible to indicate high "enthusiasm" so AI doesn't peace out too quickly.
