Not all coalition members joined offensive coalition war

[RadRussian]

I wasn't at war with any of them before they attacked. Only Morocco, The Mamluks, and Poland joined. Bug?

Coalition Members will only join an offensive coalition if they do not have a truce with the coalition target.

Also, countries will never accept CTA from countries they are at war with, regardless of weither it is offensive or defensive coalition CTAs.

Ok, got it.
But it doesn't prevent them from declaring another offensive coalition war when those condition no longer apply.
I had Lithuania and Austria (4th and 6th troop count) declare another punitive war and waiting for Russia who has nearly as much troops as me to join.
R.I.P. My 5th attempt to gain "Definitely Sultan of the Rum" achievement.

Trying to gain it by 1676 means you're doing it wrong. You need to race up Moscow first, and then do a no CB attack on Rome (or attack an ally of theirs, whatever). It's a pretty simple achievement.

The longer you go and bigger you are means you'll actually be really slow getting up there and will have tons of coalitions against you already.

I went straight for Russia in my previous attempts without westernizing but then got destroyed by europeans.

I'm not sure you're going straight anywhere if you're losing to Euros as Ottomans because you didn't westernize. You should have superior troops until miltech 15.

Yes, I'm not good at this game. I got your point already.
