v1 Unable to go to war

[Supay]

I have been playing as Mexico, starting in 1936. I have spent a decade teching up and building a tonne of equipment in order to take on the US. I've finished my focus tree, as has the US. Everything is in place. The US outnumbers me but I outmatch them in tech and quality of my divisions and they have only left a token force behind to defend their home while all their troops fight in Asia and Europe.

I justified a war goal to take Texas (I'm going for the Montezuma achievement), I get the war goal and I go to declare war. I select "Conquer" but the option for Texas isn't showing to select, though I can still click to send my war declaration. I get a pop-up that I have declared war and...........nothing. We are not actually at war and the war goal still shows as available. Driving me mad!

I've installed the hotfix in case that helped and I have justified for most of the southern US but I still have no states to select in the conquer tab when declaring war. What a waste of that whole game

I don't know if this helps solve it though, I've been going over what might cause this.

I am the Mexican Socialist Republic, having converted to Communism. I joined Comintern and followed them to war against Axis who I am still in a war against. However, the Soviets also went to war against a nation who joined the Allies, which included the US. I declined the call to arms against the Allies though and eventually the Reich broke the Soviets and conquered the entire country, with the Allies having defeated some of the other smaller Comintern satellite nations.

This created the Russian Federation at the peace conference, along with all the satellite nations reappearing as Democracies too. Everyone left Comintern except for me and I am the sole member and leader. However, it appears that the Russian Federation entered the Allies and this somehow dragged me into war against the Axis and alongside the Allies even though I am not in their faction, never agreed to a Call to Arms and have nothing to do with the Allies other than having a common enemy of Axis.

I can see all of the Allied forces and it seems they have full military access to me and I have it with them even though I've not granted this and I still have the option to offer or request it for the nation's who have armies wandering through Mexico.

I can only assume that something went screwy with the peace deal when the Soviets were knocked out and it gave me some kind of weird limbo status of being in the Allies yet not in the Allies, and this may be preventing me declaring a war using a war goal.

Thank you for the report.
Could you upload the save game so I might have a look at the situation?
Sounds like you are in a war together, which *should* block you from declaring war in the first place, but isn't doing so because you aren't in the same faction, nor officially allied.

Thank you, hope this helps. I do have 3 mods running but they are only flag replacers.
