This can't be working right...

[StatikShocker]

I launched a late game war to finish of Australia by attacking Malacca and their Colonial Australia. During the war, while I was seiging Malacca for warscore (I had sieged out the Colonial Nation first) I pan down to find that my sieges have been lifted, with myself having a 15 year truce with the Colonial nation since they declared independence. Now I would have to break truce to complete my conquest before the game ends.

This is working as intended war exhaustion now drives up liberty desire.

The CN declaring independence is not the issue, the auto-truce between himself and the CN is the problem. Surely if part of a country you're at war with declared independence you wouldn't immediately and unconditionally declare peace with the new state.

That shouldn't mean it ends wars of conquest on them.

Diplomat: My sultan Malayan Australia has decleared independence.
Sultan: Great, as two separate nations means an easier war, my goal of controlling Australia is soon in hand.
Diplomat: My sultan their is something I have to tell you.
Sultan:?
Diplomat: As they decleared independence, I got them to sign a fifteen year truce with us, our armies are that grand and our country so civilized that we should have nothing to do with a so primitive nation, a truce keep them from trying to make us consider their existence.
Sultan: RAGE!!!

If they were just an ally, I could see them disappearing from the war – they can't be on the same side as their previous overlord. If they were the primary target, then no. In either case the truce seems wrong.

it's 1814, you can afford the stab and WE hit (unless the WE would make your CNs declare independance) the fact that your war ends because of an arbitrary reason (while succession wars don't end if the PU subject breaks free mid-war) and gives you a truce is still bull, though. At least when that happens in ck2 you don't get a truce.

 

[StatikShocker]

For sure I broke the truce to clean up ny borders. Doesn't justify the truce however.

I think based on everyone's comments that this is a glitch? I may report it later.

Basically I should still be at war with that colonial nation, although it would have to be a separate war? I don't know how the game mechanics could make this right.

I'd say this should've removed the former overlord from your war actually - they can't be both allies and enemies in the same war. This isn't CKII with England and France continuing their war in the Holy Land due to joining a Crusade not having the usual block of being on opposite sides in a war.

There are a few problems related to this. Not sure what the best solution is, but maybe CNs can only declare independence while at peace? Alternatively, they can't declare independence while targeted by a CB, but can't while helping their overlord in a non-colonial war.
