Way of telling AI which provinces you want

[Chimerae]

Wouldn't it be useful to 'tell' the AI which province you want (from them) like the system the AI uses to show it to the player? Every province you CLAIM will be added on default as well. This would create more logical intercourse with the AI. An example from my last Pomerania game:

- Danzig is claimed by me, Denmark, and Poland.
- Poland is allied to me in a war to take Danzig.
- Peace and Poland starts hating me for having Danzig (obviously).

Why in the hell would Poland even join if the reason for the war is to take Danzig if they want it themselves? As soon as Poland knows I WANT Danzig they should start hating me, not when I finally OWN it. To give even more meaning to this matter: as soon as two (or more) countries have a claim on the same province, they get an event in which they can dispute this claim. (e.g. Poland gets a 'claim revocation CB' on me as soon as it happens, or may choose to give up his own claim).


Also, allow us to set defensive attitude to countries who set defensive to us.

I love this answer
While you're at it, it should also avoid joining a war of religion if it's the same religion as the target. I guess there are similar cases, but I didn't really looked for them.

Historically, joining a war of religion despite religious differences was standard operating procedure. In game terms, it would just add unnecessary limits if you prevent normal alliances from functioning due to religion. I suppose the only upside to it is it makes the CB from religious able to isolate alliances like in the past, if that's even an upside.

France did exactly this in the Thirty Years War

The enemy being their rival helped.

I have an issue with the reverse to mention. The other day, I saw a Franco-Mik'Maq alliance beat up Spain. Now, Europeans making friends with natives to beat up another colonial power is perfectly fine and historical, what wasn't historical was that France was transferring sieges to Mik'Maq so a tiny American tribe was occupying over half of the Spanish heartland.

Maybe there needs to be a limitation on how cooperative you can be?

Yes sorry, I was speaking about the holy war CB, not the League war. I guess a protestant wouldn't join a catholic who want to kill all protestants : it's debatable of course, but when I read "Cleansing of heresy" it sounds quite definitive, and I wouldn't like to help cleaning my co-religioners.
