I'm trapped forever in the War in Heaven in my first Banks ironman campaign due to a lack of planets we can take to get the 75 necessary warscore (curse the Unbidden!). With that in mind, I think there needs to be a failsafe warscore award to ensure that, if one opponent is completely defeated, the war will end.

My suggestion is thus: If all the planets belonging to one side of the conflict, including vassals, are conqured, then the other side automatically is awarded +1000 warscore. If that happens then I'd say it's fairly reasonable to say the enemy is defeated.

Isn't it already like this? In my experience occupying 100% of the other guy's stuff will always auto-end the war. The only way I get "stuck" is if the defender is in another war and some of his planets are already occupied by another attacker.

Unless there's something I'm missing, which i'm sure i'm not, this is not the case. We have occupied 100% of the enemy's planets, destroyed 100% of their fleets, and eliminated 100% of their resource collection. I think it's safe to say there's nothing left for them. But the war isn't ending.

I think this problem is specific to the War in Heaven, whose warscore works in a different way.
That is most likely the case. I think, adding up the total warscore that would have been earned had the Unbidden not interfered with the fight, it would have added up to 75 warscore exactly. That's a big ask for the player to pull off considering literally ANYTHING else can happen to interfere with the war.

Unless I can convince my overlord to let me go, I'm stuck in this war forever. Guess I wasn't too attached to this campaign anyway since achievements are broken
