Hi in the image below you can see the conditions for surrender require the loosing party to occupy land this is also true if the wining party were to try and enforce demands, since the wining party will not let the loosing party (in this case lotharingen) occupy any land, the war can never end i assume this is a bug but im not entirely sure. any idea for a fix would be appreciated to
Thx
This is a hard-coded issue over which we have no control. The tooltip isn't correct, though. The last time this happened to me, I was able to resolve it by ensuring that none of my demesne holdings were occupied by the defender and possibly that they did not occupy some type of holdings of another ruler. Just run around and clear out any holdings which the defender may still be occupying. No doubt by then you'll figure out what exactly changes the status.
Sorry that I can't be of more help, but this has only happened once to me in the last year or so, and it was in a multiplayer game, so I didn't have the time to isolate it and figure out exactly what causes that issue. Nonetheless, take heart, for it is indeed able to be resolved, and that [hard-coded] tooltip is really dumb and confusing.
