wc -heartbreaking mistake

[AnonHobo]

Edited from original: I challenge anyone to be more heartbroken than this. Yes, it's a pity party for myself and probably no one cares (my wife just laughed and then looked horrified and asked "are you going to spend more time on this game now?")...

Well, I was about to finish my WC, when I invaded a protectorate of one of my colonial nations... which then led that nation to declare war on me.

Due to what I believe is a bug, I am no longer able to peace out and the AI is not able to peace out with me... therefore bumbumbum... over.

It states, that You cannot negotiate separate peace with someone who is a former subject of the defender.

And this is where I was before that: 25 or so provinces left.

This isn't supposed to happen in 1.5, and if it's 1.4 you can't be in Ironman...right? If this is 1.5 it's a bug for sure.

Nope... it's 1.5 Iron man. Though I started the game in 1.4 so perhaps that might be it? EU4 break time... though I might want to give it a go to see if I can crush Florida in 30 years, but seems like its bugged out.

Probably is bugged out. Colonial nations are suppose to join your side even if it's one of their protectorates I believe?

Also shouldn't the subjects of your subjects count towards WC ?

Try forming GBR unless you've gone and culture shifted... Changing tag might help.

 

[Lakedaimon]

Don't you need to be at peace to change tags? I don't know haven't played in a week or two now. Only thing I'd know is maybe they are allowed to negotiate with you which would mean they should start sending peace offers some time into the war. It's a long shot and if it doesn't work you'd have ruined your game.

Make peace asap, go in a break truce spree and just conquer everything.

 

[LarryLeica]

Don't you need to be at peace to change tags?

Yes.

I'd make peace change tag then break truce.

 

[AnonHobo]

Yes.

I'd make peace change tag then break truce.

The problem is I can't peace out... It's greyed out.

There is no one to make peace with.

I didn't think subjects of subjects counted... or I'm really going to be sad if they do.

I've just reported in the bug section of the forum, the same problem you having.

Best for now is save the game and leave it be, and HOPE that Paradox in the next patch fix the issue so you can resume your game.

Thanks!

I hope so... so much time... only to be thwarted by a roach!

I also tried to see if I could get the AI to peace out with me but for six months no peace messages...

And so I am stuck... probably wouldn't be able to make it now though having to conquer Florida--possible maybe with CN mechanics since no OE to slow you down...

Wipe out all there forces and conquer their lands. If there are no battles going on for a couple of years, shouldn't game auto-enforce white peace?
