Is this a bug? (Colonial nations not being protected)

[Ellyll]

I honestly do not know if this is a bug or not. I know colonial nations are now supposed to be able to fight each other without interference, but when I attack a colonial nation as Inca the European overlords do nothing.

This does to seem right, but I find it hard to believe the devs would not have known this 2 patches ago.

It's WAD. They changed it like that few patches ago.

it kinda took the fun away from my recent Inca run as well.

but, overlord can still enforce peace. so best to attack CN if overlord is at war.
