Stellairs Imperium How To Declare war

[Aggressor_]

I tried googling and I can't find anything on this situation.

Everyone left in the galaxy is part of the imperium and I am the ruler. However I cannot attack anyone anymore. I am too powerful to declare a rival on anyone so I cant use the animosity war goal and I cant use the counter attack war goal.

There doesnt seem to be a way to kick members out of the imperium?

I tried delcaring one a crisis, and even after passing I still cant declare war as I have no causes belli.

Any suggestions on how I can start waging war again?

Build a colossus? Convert your ethics to one that grants an ideology casus belli?

Its too late to get a colossus, but changing ethics might work I will try that!

You don't need to change ethics for the Impose Ideology CB. Just swap your war policy from Unrestricted Wars to Liberation Wars.

Can a dictatorship start a liberation war? That seems... at odds with itself.

Yes. Liberation just means "make them like us."

Even with liberation my only 2 options for this one empire is Counterattack or Imperial Rebuke and both are greyed out.

Can you not make claims on systems any more?

Also, if you play modded, you might want to try : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1315614159

yeah, i noticed the crisis CBs also grey out liberation wars and other CBs.

Colossus doesn't work for the emperor. Also, system claims are useless as well.

I believe this is bugged. Emperor needs to have far more powers than this if it works as expected. You're incredibly more powerful as a custodian in a hegemony.

why would the empire attack itself?

It doesn't. Its just that the emperor has discovered a reason why a member needs a whacking.
Like that criminal syndicate infesting the core worlds and such, or the fact that he knows that member x is undermining him.

why would the empire attack itself?

Why did Alderaan suddenly disappear in Star Wars?

i wonder if the seditionist operation for the emperor makes it possible to attack them

It should, and regardless, the emperor should do as he pleases - with the expected consequences - more seperatists of course.

Some people say this is a bug, but I haven't seen anything from Paradox claiming it is one or that its an intended part of the Imperium.

If its intended, we should at the very least be able to declare someone the crisis and boot them from the Imperium. I think that would actually be a cool way to roleplay abusing the Emperor's powers.

As I said in another thread if it's intendent it's really bad design and imperium is useless. You can be immensely more powerfull by remaining a permanent custodian and creating your hegemony.

I have claims i just couldnt press them.

Hmmm.

I apologize if this is a dumb question:

Would it be possible to unilaterally vote the target empire to be "in breach of galactic laws", and then take advantage of the high tier military resolution that allows for a DoW on anyone in breach of galactic law? Might need to pass several resolutions before it would work.

No,

you see the claims and all CBs are still listed on the diplomancy screen as icons. It's just that they don't come up as viable war declaration buttons on the screen.
