Did you know...

[Sensational]

That if you declare war on a coalition and the coalition leader calls in a non-coalition ally that is stronger than them (And thus assumes leadership), the entire war turns into a normal conflict where each nation can be peaced out with separately?

Now you know. Happy conquering.

I don't know who you are... but I love you if this turns true.

I'd almost say this is...

I have recorded evidence of this discovery. Of course, it's not exactly scientific evidence and I haven't even double checked to see if it's true... but I'm pretty sure that's what happened.

Just wanted to confirm that after repeating it, this is indeed how it works.

I posted a bug report on this a while back - I guess that it is still a thing means it is WAD too

It can't possibly be WAD because it makes coalitions a boon rather than a danger in those situations where it's even applicable. It just goes against the design policy of even having coalitions in the first place, which I'm pretty sure they believe in.

Hum I was under the impression that yes, if the warleader called in his allies not in the coalition, then you could peace out those countries separately. But, you could do that only with those countries, and coalitions members could not be separate-peaced. That's why in the war tab, some countries have the tooltip "can be negociated separately" and others have "cannot be negociated separately". This seemed WAD for me

A similar advantage can be gained with the subjugation cb. If an enemy ally joins the war & assumes leadership, the 50% cost reduction also affects their province value warscore.

It actually doesn't even require a war leader switch, any ally that joins the enemy side can be subjugated if they have 'leader may negotiate for us' turned on. War leader swap can certainly make this useful though, as Milan I has a vassalize Ferrara mission which Savoy took control of the war, and I was able to vassalize both. Hoowah.

This is correct IF the war leader is part of the coalition, in cases where the war leader is not part of the coalition, even when the war started as a coalition war, the existence of the coalition does not affect the ability to separately peace out nations.

And that is how it functions, until the warleader calls in an ally that is stronger than him (In my Milan game, Persia calls in Ottomans) who is not in the coalition. When this ally takes over the leadership of the war, every single nation can be peaced out with separately. It is no longer a coalition war.
