Sudden jump from 20 to 100% warscore

[Krajzen]

AS title says, I as Ottomans wage war against Hungary allied with France and Spain. I occupy the wargoal and all Hungarian provinces but I have no impact on its allies so I have 15% warscore. Suddenly it just jumps to 100% and I can take whatever I want.

What the hell?

To prevent occupying the little guy without ever touching the big guys, the war score is now limited to the total alliance war score the first 5 years. After 5 years the warscore turns to what you're done to the warleader.

The reasoning is something like this: if the big guys can't hurt you in 5 years, they can't hurt you at all and you won fair-and-square. But no sucker punches are allowed!

Isn't this the 5 year thing where you can't get 100% warscore from full occupation until allies have at least a chance to actually help out?

It was in the patch notes.

Yeah, it's a new feature. It's a bit annoying at times (when the game decides that the OPM helping another OPM is strong enough to keep you from having 100% warscore, for instance...) but overall it is better than cascading alliances.
And besides, I'd much prefer a surprise jump to 100% warscore than one in the opposite direction!
