Can't End a War?

[dan99990]

Hi. Recently started up a new game as the Byzantines in the Alexiad bookmark. Started a couple of days before the newest patch, in case that's relevant to my issue. Anyway, it's ca. 1260 and I've just crushed yet another Elective Succession Faction revolt. Problem is, even though I have 100% warscore, I can't enforce terms. The Seljuks apparently declared a war for Trebizond (the count of Chaldea is one of the rebels) and since they "haven't occupied any of (rebel faction leader's) territory, I don't fulfill the requirements for pressing my victory.

I've never seen anything like this before, and I'm really at a loss as to why this is a requirement for victory. I don;t have the Conclave DLC - is it a conflict with Conclave features since I'm playing a save game I started before the newest patch? Also, what on earth would be the rationale for making this a victory condition? I've already wiped out their armies and occupied their capital province, but since a third party hasn't done well enough against them, I haven't realy won??

Anyone able to explain this to me?

It's not something new. If a third party is occupying territory of a character you're at war with, you cannot enforce demands.

Some screenshots will be good, though.

Just had the same thing happen in my Norse game, latest beta patch. Really infuriating as the game was going well. Lower tribe law revolt, won it but Livonia declared to on the rebels. Now I can't end it even though the rebels are 100% occupied, I can't even surrender to get out of the war. Weird game, HRE formed and promptly collapsed, a Norse has usurped the French Crown (but is catholic) and just before I quit another Norse had conquered Rome and kicked the Pope out! I think those were events. See file attached.

Pfft, I had a Norse host take Rome in my game, too. Watch yourself: with the moral authority of Catholicism so banged up, everybody in Europe suddenly had to spend the next two decades BLAMming heretics until the King of Lombardy finally used a holy war to get the Norse out.
