Hi, Are their any methods for drawing a new ally into a pre-existing war? If I ally, they gain alliance CB for my wars, correct?, but that in no ways compels them to join. Apparently using formal diplomatic/economic pressure to seek and gain military support in an ongoing conflict (including.. gasp.. outright asking or demanding) is a integral facet of real life geopolitics, but has no place in arguably the premiere geopolitical game in history?
 
I realize you build alliance/coalition in anticipation of conflict more than in response, and the game has semi-robust mechanics for doing so, but post-conflict political maneuvering is also geopolitical reality while in-game mechanics seem to ignore the concept.
