This should definitly be a thing. Why should anyone sit idle while heathens are ravaging your land? Like, "eh, its not my war why should I care". Especially when they siege the capitol and imprison me and kill my sons wife.

This game is SO frustrating.

If it is a proper Holy War you can join.
But not normal wars with Hostile faiths.

Of course the primary solution is to not be the vassal in the first place :)

I want this, but like the Raider system instead, in that you get cause to attack them without being at war.

I don't want to be entirely dragged into some garbage war, just defend my own territory.

Can't you already do that? I've always been able to join my liege's wars, as long as the liege is primary defender. If he's helping in his ally's war then yeah you can't join, but that's how it should be IMO, indefinite chaining of allies would not be good for the game.

As was said above, something like the "Raider Hostility" could work
When in your land they become hostile and stay for 5 months. You meanwhile do not enter the war.

Agree with OP. In a run as a vassal of HRE I had the same thought. My liege was in so many wars, so you kind of stop focusing on what they are, and focus on your own plans. Then by chance I discovered that one of the Emperor's wars was in fact for one of my personal duchies. Managed to join in time, but I thought it was slightly strange that I didn't get a message telling me that someone are actually trying to take my land.

Now this I agree with. There ought to be a more urgent notification when the player's own lands are the war target.
