Ally occupying the war goal a bug?

[Ares]

I was pretty shure that an ally can't occupy the war goal, well that just happened, he did have a core there tho, but so did i, is this a bug? Can't remember this being a thing... I used to set up war goals to block allies from takeing them.

I have never heard that an ally is not supposed to occupy the wargoal. I would expect them to transfer the occupation if they have no interest in the province. But if they want it as well, I would have expected them to keep it,

Well unless my memories are off, the wargoal should be tranfered to the player. Perhaps it's diffrent when they have a core there. It's also sorta illogial, im calling in my ally to take that one piece of land that i want, and im useing favors for it, and suddenly they keep the occupation.

Well it is their core. Of course they won't just give it to you.

AI will only transfer occupation of provinces of no strategic interest.

Yes, but im not so shure that applies to the war goal. Any other province of interest, ofc.

If multiple allies want same province the fastest one will occupy it. Does not matter who started the war.

Definitely not a bug.

The AI will usually transfer it to you, unless they want it themselves, but that's still a choice. Occupying it in the first place has always been possible. I take advantage of that myself when an ally declares war for land that I want, if I occupy it before they can then either they peace out with me taking the land, or the enemy keeps it and I still have a chance to declare for it later.

The AI doing what a player would do in a similar situation makes sense.

Yes i know, but i don't remember this applying to the war goal, the provinse that has been set to the target that i want.

Well maybe my memory is off, i've been playing for years. So i know all that. But from my memory you could prevent an ally from taking a province by setting it as the war goal.
