How to remove a rival?

[Renz]

Did this 1.19 patch change something? Why can I not change rivals anymore? I have no reason to rival Denmark as England any longer and they've thought the same and removed me. I actually need them as an ally at this point.

Help?

You shoudl be able to change rivals as long as you aren't at war, you are past the cooldown window for switching and you have the necessary MP required.

The 1.19 rival change are forcing someone to drop their rival in a peace deal and switch to someone else.

It could be you if you don't want them as rival and can afford to go war for it.

This doesn't make sense, Denmark already unrivaled me so there's no need to fight them over it. I am the one wanting to end the rivalry. Whatever change they made wasn't well thought out...

Yeah I agree that 100 diplomacy MP cost to swap out your own rival list is kind of excessive when AI have less restriction to do the same thing.

You could grow tall or take enough land to cause you to grow in size and eclipse your rivals to get a free swap.

I've been having an issue where the game tells me I've recently added the rival and cannot change them until cooldown in like 3 years... and it tells me that 30 years of rivalry and no wars between us :I

What's MP cost? Monarch points?

[Renz]

I've had way more than 100 diplomacy MP and still can't remove them, almost as if it's bugged.

[Damedius]

Apparently they did change something. I can't change rivals either..

[Renz]

This sucks because I'm playing Ironman right now too. Think it's a bug for sure

Definetly. Im trying to force the Ottomans as my rival but I can't swap out an older one despite their being no time limit anymore and I can afford the diplo cost.

Weird sound like a bug. Might want to head over to paradox forum and report it. At everybody actually.

[Renz]

I went to the forum and reported it on the 1.19 patch post. Someone else posted about it too and was given a link to another post about the bug. I was able to access it for whatever reason so I posted there.

[Vostok [Восток]]

Hopefully it gets fixed. Its pretty annoying

You mean you weren't able to access the thread in question, right? If so you probably have to do this[forum.paradoxplaza.com] first.

edit: Please post the link to the threads you mentioned here too.

Same problem here. I'm at peace, have 100+ diplo power and still all alternative rivals are greyed out. Playing on Ironman and invested lots of effort in this match. Thanks Paradox for nothing.
