Suggestion/QUestion: Ask to Join War

[Emiliana]

I have wondered this a bit, playing as switzerland, I see my long time ally (literally only person willing to ally me at all for first 50 years of game!!!!) Palatinate losing in a war, but only just barely, but they see me as defensive... Yet I want to help my sweet lovely pal, the pal, palatinate

Was wondering if since the call to arms system was redone, there could possibly in the future be a "ask to join" feature for allies who want to help out a ally (since having weak allies is not very good, and they are my ONLY ally... Everyone else around me is neutral, which is funny, because I thought I was supposed to be the neutral one!

You can enforce peace.

This mechanic is useless to me, because I'm switzerland. Force limit 8. If I could join the war, I could make a difference. If I enforce peace, do I join on their side, or does it start a separate war...?

 

[Kh3lben]

You join the side of the defender.

Thank you but they would not ally me with the war leader, because he was neutral to me, and that -20.... everyone hates switzerland except palatinate and ulm! I have though, since the war was lost, guaranteed allt he one minors, and put a coalition on bavaria and they are joining it. Now if I could only figure to get austria friendly to me instead of neutral I could secure palatinate ally their core back.

my opniion of everyone is lower than everyones opinion of me!!! why is this?! no one want to improve relation to me even if i have venice sitting +100 mine to them is -21... So, the mission was ridiculous, and i failed it OF COURSE.

I kinda lost ya here.I take it though you weren't able to join the war cause you didn't have +100 relations with Palatinate.As for the opinion malus,you can easily overcome that by asking for mil access/fleet basing in case you need to go positive and ally someone or w/e.

As pointed out in another thread, by using "enforce peace" you can only side with the defender, not with the attacker.
So there is still need for an "Ask to join war" option.
