Hi, asking this because I almost lost my country due to my ally not moving his army to help even when he was one who called me to join HIS war.
I'm playing Poland on ironman normal diff, I already formed the Commonwealth so I'm pretty powerful but still at Eastern tech cos I always managed to keep up with my western neighbours.
I was allied with Great Britain and Austria, Norway was a ally of Britain and was attacked by Sweden (about same size as me). Britain declared defensive war on sweden and called me to join in.
I thought, hey why not, checked the war screen, our combined forces outnumbered Sweden 2 to 1. So I agreed.
I was joined by my vassels the Livornion league and Wallacia plus Norway, Bavaria, Aragon and of course great britain. Sweden was joined by Bohemia
Basically, I saw Sweden go after Bavaria so I thought to attack Sweden bordering my provinces as it was undefended.
I captured several provinces no prob, then I looked at Bavaria and Norway and realised they were fighting alone!. Great Britain had a large standing army just sitting on its coast, not moving at all. Checked Aragon, same, huge army standing on its beaches, not moving.
Norway was occupied completely and the Bavarian army was destroyed. So naturally they came after me.
I had eastern military tech lvl 19, Sweden had western tech lvl 20, my armies were completely destroyed even though I had roughly even numbers.
Half my provinces were sieged or occupied. The combined warscore for my side was -58%.
Tried sueing for peace multiple times all rejected even though I tried to give everything available in the tribute screen.
Norway, Bavaria, my vassals and I all had low war enthusiasm and high war exhausion. But Britain/Aragon still had high war enthusiasm and low war exhaustion cos they had not lifted a finger! And Britain was the war leader so they refused to make peace!
At this rate my entire country would be annexed, so I broke alliance with Britain, costing 2 stability and eventually and thankfully Sweden offered me a relatively cheap peace deal.
So, Aragon/Britain both did not send armies to help, both were seperated by water. Bug? Also when the war leader is unaffected by the war it won't make peace even if warscore is very low, another bug?
Any insight would be welcome thanks. Had to share cos I almost lost hours of effort lol.
