"Differing war philosophy" - Impossible to get alliance.

[Destiny's Player]

In my current game I'm having this modifier with literally every race I've encoutered so far (about 14without primitives and fallen empires). And it is completely independent of the orbital bombardment/ war economy setting. I've tried every single combination and waited for at least one year before reloading and trying a different setting.
It also seems to be independent of the ethos. I even found a species with the same combination I have (individualist, fanatic materialist). I'll have to abort this game because I neither can trade nor enter one of the aliances or federations and by now I'm the only empire that isn't in one of the big power blocks.

Actually, screw that, I put it into a mod myself. Here's the link.

You can use this little mod I made. It works without restarting the save, I've checked.

Thanks, it was a bit too late since I got crushed between two federations yesterday ^^;
But I'll use it for my next game

Please let this get fixed in 1.3

Is this still a thing? I'm unable to join a federation with a fellow individualist because somehow we have differing war philosophies. Am I missing something here?

It's soley based on the types of war you can declare. I think it goes none (defense only) / liberation only / unrestricted.

Damn I was hoping to save a butload of time by just forming a federation with the last big empire that held the remainder of the galaxy not under my thumb since we've had good relations all game etc.

Unfortunately, differing war philosophies. *sigh* Liberation assimilation it is.

I was rejected by a federation that I wanted to join due to differing war philosophies. The members were mainly pacifists, but I noticed that the federation has declared war on a neighbour, so I changed my War Philosophy policy to Liberation Wars, and my Orbital Bombardment policy to Light. This allowed me to join the Federation.
