Hi folks,
Context: In a game I am playing a custom empire, roughly where the Wendish Empire is. Hispania is ruled by a muslim dynasty who also rules North Africa (they are strong). Hispania randomly got a few provinces in Germany, right on my border. I found an opening when they were dealing with an internal crisis to conquer the duchy they had based using the holy war CB. Easy. Flash forward a generation, and out of nowhere these guys declare war on me to take these province back. Its not a holy war, we do not even share a border, its just a straight "Conquer Province X, Conquer Province Y, Conquer Province Z" war. Fine.
In the war itself, I position my armies in the territory I want to defend and sit and wait. They send one army that quickly gets routed, and my warscore jumps up to ~50%. They are however still a much larger empire than I am, so I decide to hold on to the defensive advantage and wait for them to attack again, to try and take advantage of attrition and terrain. But there is a problem, which is despite me holding all of the contested territories, my war score is totally static, reflecting just the single battle. I have waited over a year and the war score hasn't budged, and there is no placeholder for the percentage attributable to 'holds contested counties' or something like that. My understanding was that over time war score should tick up for whoever holds the war's objectives, to prevent specifically the scenario I am in where neither side is comfortable launching an attack.
Any thoughts or explanations? Bug or am I missing something about the way war score works?
Thanks!
