Why join a war when you can save your game?!

There sure is a lot of bugs regarding saving/loading a game and here's another one.

Whenever one of yours allies is trying to draw you into an undesired war (you get the pop-up asking you to join the war effort). Withouht giving any answer, save your game then load it back and suddendly that infortunate ally will be waging its war by itself without you getting any BB nor temporary CB agaisnt you and top of that you still will be a member of that alliance. Life's good .

I think this bug, like many others save-load related, is unfixable without changing few things in the engine (which is unlikely and personally I would prefer Johan to work on EU3 in that time ).

Not a bug as such, but a user exploit. Just Don't Do It.

I think adding "must answer now" flag to some dialogs will be good. And somehow i remember talks about this as "already implemented". But - maybe I'm wrong.

Honor alliance and accept peace offer comes in mind.

Offer peace exploit - waging war against alliance wait for separate offers from all non-leaders. Then get offer from leader. Then make separate peaces and finally alliance peace.
