Small question for an ironman game.
If I start a humiliation war with another country, can I force a seperate peace with one of its allies to give up its provinces?
I have the impression the current patch is very good in creating monster alliances which has stifled expansion in my Brandenburg game for 100 years because the TO is constantly allied with the biggest blobs in town so I'm looking for some more indirect way to get at them. The alliance in the east has been a very stable Entente between Russia, a monster Bohemia and the TO who have essentially destroyed Poland and Hungary and disgraced Austria which makes Bohemia the emperor) .
Now I found the TO is allied to Burgundy and Burgundy has only TO has a major ally and my allies would help me with Burgundy when they wouldn't against TO. Clashed with Burgundy recently and right after my war they ended up in a tussle with France and the Netherlands formed so they are weak right now.
But the bottomline is against Burgundy I only have a humiliation CB and wonder if that is enough when my main goal would be to kill the TO.
