[Kushcracker]

YES, BUT WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN? I KNOW IT'S IMMINENT, BUT WHEN?

there is a ticking day number in that message, when it reaches a certain number of days, also shown in that message, a white peace will happen

what does the message say, that the wargoal is still contested?

yes

then that is what it means, as long as the wargoal is contested, there will be no enforced white peace, if the wargoal is met by you, you will be able to make a peace almost immediately and get the wargoal. If you lose the wargoal then the AI will probably force a white peace, could be that you still have about a year to try and get it back.

Advice, focus on your wargoal in every war, AI almost always will want a peace after that, even if you are technically losing.

right so why doesn't it just say a white peace will be enforced in x number of days like when the wargoal is occupied. not complicated enough i guess

because the wargoal is contested, would be kinda a bummer if the war ends while you are still fighting over what the war is fought over.

Then why have the pop-up at all in that case? It is misleading to say "hey there will be white peace soon because the war goal is still contested" when there won't actually be a white peace while the war goal is contested.

the message is their to tell you that if you lose the wargoal a white peace is imminent so watch out.

Is it really that confusing?

Yes. And it doesn't just show up for the attacker, it also appears for the defender which makes it quite confusing. I'm still contesting the war goal so white peace is imminent when in fact I need to completely own the war goal to have the clock tick for a white peace is a misleading message.

[Evilgenius]

the message shows up for both, sound like the only logical thing to me. The white peace is also imminent if you lose your wargoal. It is just there to tell you that your war took long enough to trigger the forced peace mechanic, when the wargoal is not contested.

I really can't see the confusion here.

I've had a similar experience, I had "white peace imminent" going on for many years, it wouldn't end, everyones war exhaustion was high, civil wars started to break out across both my alliance and enemies.

I didn't have the option to peace out and break the alliance I was in, I couldn't get the war-score higher than 0 due to multiple reasons. When I did take a city or two the enemy AI sent stacks my way to retake them. I recall I had to pay gold every so often repeatedly to get 5 countries approval to gain military access to try and siege the enemy provinces, which the AI either were failing at or weren't doing (manpower/civil wars due to war exhaustion), it can get frustrating at times.

I think it's bugged because you can't enforce the wargoal until you have +10, it just won't let you do it.

I just had a 30 year war where I had max points via won battles but couldnt end the war due to the war exhaustion of all nations being zero even though they had lost 300 thousand troops. White Peace imminent the entire time. Even when the AI was eligible to take it they wouldn't 28 year mark.

There needs to be some form of better way of counting or scaling war exhaustion.
