How much "pain" is this causing you?
6

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
I want to start a diplo play to conquer a state from the Dutch East Indies. They are a Dominion of the Netherlands, who is my rival. However, I am unable to start the play, and the tooltip states that it is because of my relations with Great Britain.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
I'm unsure what is causing this, but it should be visible in the attached save. The screenshots I've attached show that GB is blocking me from starting the play, and that they have no relationship with the Dutch East Indies beyond the latter being in their market and them improving relations with GB. You can also see in the same tooltip that shows they are preventing the play, that they only MAY side with the DEI if there is a war.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?


I have attached a save game
Yes
