Why are the allies so retarded (part who knows the number ...)

[hajutze]

After 1.8 I've got one annoying problem. Before (1.8) if an ally is trying to occupy a province and you send some troops, they move out and you can siege it ... not anymore ... while Russia is quite the helpful ally they are screwing me up in more than one way (erm .. province).

Anyone seeing a similar behavior ?

Don't they transfer occupation?

 

[mgoetze]

Yes but now if they finish sieging it they can hand over control of the occupation to you if they are not interested in the province, so what's the problem?

I assume that's an AoW feature because I haven't seen that happen in my last 5-6 games (yup ... this is how much I fucked up since 1.8 )

Be aware that now, unless an ally has a specific interest in a province, the province occupation will be transferred to the war leader. Thus, it shouldn't matter anymore that they decide to siege it.

What I do think is that the AI should prioritize the player settings (So agressive/supportive/normal for vassals, and 'siege this province' for all) a bit more than it does right now, I see fairly little change in behavior dependent on the settings, but it might be me.

If you have a claim on that province and your ally doesn't transfer occupation to you (because they have a claim too), can't you just take the province for yourself in the peace talks?
If you don't have a claim... well...

As an orthodox conquering Persia I don't really bother with claims not to mention I can't really claim the capital of a country ...
