What gives? I've obliterated my enemy but my warscore is around 56%??? How do I win a war and enforce my claims if there's nothing left to fight?
I've occupied my enemy's lands and wiped out his armies, warscore less than 100%???

Most likely you haven't occupied everything. Look carefully, you enemy might have some surprising territories somewhere.
Well I'm the Duke of Munster trying to enforce my claim over Desmond, a one-province county in the southern tip of Ireland.
Have you sieged all of the holdings in the province? One thing that confused me at the beginning was that you need to siege the province, and then siege all of the holdings in the province individually. So in reality, you are sieging the same province anywhere from 3-6 times.
You can tell if its not fully sieged if the stripes in the province view are dotted lines instead of solid lines.
Also, I think warscore starts increasing after holding an enemy province for a long time.

Check his character page, that will list his titles. I'll bet he's picked up another somewhere - might just be some baronies he inherited.
Also, it seems that the longer you occupy a province, you accumulate more warscore. So even if you can't figure it out, if you just sit and wait you'll eventually get enough warscore to demand the county.

Yeah lol a lot of players are forgetting that each province can have several duchies and you have to siege and WIN every single one of them to take over the province in whole for warscore. So, looks to me like you missed about half of them. 
aha! Thanks Chipster! I see now, the initial siege was over the county capital. There's two other holdings to take over.

No problem. I was really confused when playing the demo and my enemies kept raising levies from the holding I thought that I had already sieged.
Also you don't always need a 100% or similar to get a favorable peace. The AI got somehow better at recognizing when it's over since EU3 days.
True. Sometimes ~+30% win can be enough when he cannt rise any more troops and u show him your 15k army. At last it was enough to beatr my liege when i fought for my independance.
Hi All,
I've attacked a single county realm and occupy all of the holdings, I have a warscore of 100% now yet when I go to offer peace the game will only allow me a white peace or to surrender. What's happened?

Have you occupied the area which you're contesting for in the war? Make sure you have occupied all holdings in the territory you're contesting. The warscore meter should be ticking in your favour if you're doing it correctly.

My guess is that the AI will throw in the towel once you occupy a second holding.
What happened is that you misread it. The "Enforce demands" is already marked. You just need to push send. Nothing else i can think of.
