Spanish-French War?

[Mismangaement]

Playing as Austria, Spain is my ally vs France. Just curious about the name of this war: Just says Spanish-French war. Is this an event war or something? Not sure I've seen it before. ps - Commonblob + huge muscovy blob as PU = easy.

Blockade ports is the war goal, seriously spain you did a trade war?!?!?

Since the war goal is blockading ports I'm guessing it's a trade conflict or trade protection war, but I've never seen the AI use the more specialized CBs before.

There were two sorts of trade wars. You can take territory in one but not the other (I'm still struggling to remember which is which).

i think the trade war cb that triggers if someone pirates your node allows to take land.

anyways, i saw AI use 'special' cb before a lot in previous patches. Like, diplomatic insult cb.

i even heard confirmation that ai actually does force Union wars these days too, if conditions arise to do it when not allied to target.
