maybe a mistake ?

Here is the situation
I, as Russia, declare war on Turkey. England follows Turkey (had they a defensive alliance or had UK guaranteed the independance of Turkey, I didn't check).
The (long) war is won, Turkey surrenders Bulgaria and some colonies but I'm still at war with UK. No way to get a white peace even with all african english colonies in my pocket (a recorded bug I suppose as it always happen in the same way, 45%, lot of divisions destroyed and a 5 years war means nothing to simply get a draw :rolleyes: )
Then my ally Spain declares war against Portugal. I follow. England follows Portugal. France follows me. Portugal promptly (3 months) sues for an ignominous peace stoping this joke.

Here is the problem : after the Portugal's peace (I won 2 colonies, Spain many more), I'm still at war with UK but all the conquered english colonies are back to UK, all the provinces I've conquered are pink again and I've to redo all the way.
Do you think it's normal or is it a mistake (well, not quite a bug, but indeed a mistake?

Do you have a savegame of while you were in two wars against UK?

If so, see this thread

I've not kept the savegames :(
I've read the related threads and know now that I'm plagued with a war begining anew (no war exhaustion) against England "the country who refuses any kind of peace even when diving in deep shit".
OK, so it is a reported problem. It doesn't help me in the moment :)
 
Did Spain have a higer prestige than you? There is a nasty bug which merges wars (incorrectly) so that you can be drawn into a war which you didn't declare.

E.g Sardinia has a defensive alliance with France. France gets the Crimean War event, declares war on Russia. Sardinia declines the war on Russia.

Sardinia gets the Unify or Die event which activates a full alliance with France. Austria declares war on Sardinia, France responds as defensive ally.

But Sardinia is now at war with Russia as France's ally

Seems that in some circumstances you can be drawn into a war (and have a peace enforced upon you) without an option to refuse simply by being a co-beligerent. It's even worse for USA which finds itself a co-beligerent with France against CSA and Mexico and then find the Civil War is stopped due to a White Peace between France and Mexico!
 
as i wrote in another thread, the system of "head of alliance" should be reserved to the 2 first countries of a declaration of war. And the resolution of peace should not be general but take into account the other wars.
Maybe in 1.04 ... ?

For the moment you can just hit f12 and type in nevillie to make the AI accept peace.
Edit: turn it off again afterwards though.
