Why was the length of war penalty removed from a Call to Arms?

The only time this change caught me was when I DoW while an enemy's ally was busy in another war, knowing they wouldn't join against me. However, as soon as that guy finished his war, he jumped right in and that turned the tide against me.

I wasn't mad, it's viable, but I had to adjust my thinking about when it's safe to declare war.

This is a useful and very good feature. For exapmle when i was just starting the war my ally was busy in another one but when he finish it, now, he can help me and this is fine.

I haven't had problems with it, because I usually wait until the allied countries are deep in debt and won't answer a CTA anyway. As others have pointed out, it works for you as well. A quick alliance to PLC, France, etc. can really bait the AI into some painful wars against you.

How does this cheapen the game? If anything this makes gameplay richer. The only drawback in the current system is that non-warleaders cannot request the warleader to call them into the war.

this I wish it was ck2 and I could tell my allies
"Put me in coach!"

I consistently hope they'll add this feature in every single patch.

Beating France in HYW takes much longer time now because France calls in 5-6 countries and England can only call Portugal. It's usually Hungary, Milan, Tuscany, Venice and Lorraine with their vassal that joins France.
