My colony attacked and I can't enforce a peace

[The Senate]

My smallest colony in America was attacked by the former English colony Louisiana. They don't stand a chance in this war and I can't enforce a peace becouse I have a regency council. What can I do? Is there a mod that fixes this?

its annoying but just conquer the land back later. if Louisanna declared the war then I think you should have recieved a call to arms. your little colony must have been the aggressor. Paradox put that into the player's colonial subject AI probably to create some arbitrary sense of artificial challenge. I know because this kind of thing happens all the time.

no, battles between colonial nations or natives don't call their overlords.

Only if external parties get involved.

They used to, but players demanded it removed because they got called to war every single time they attacked someone or got attacked (with no ability to say no, since you couldn't refuse a subject's call to arms), and it was a massive annoyance all around.

I thought that too but then in my most recent Japan game, Japanese Alaska declared war on Spainish California. Spain was called in, I wasn't.

Thanks! I found a cheat though :) I made my king old enough to take control over the country. That way I could enforce a peace. But it it's still really annoying that I had to cheat or leave them. But thank you for the comments!
