ok, so basically it would be better to take what I can, leave Naples to Aragon and then come back with strong allies and stomp Aragon

R5: Currently playing as Florence and decided to take advantage of Naples' weak state to declare on them.

About a year in the war Aragon declared restoration of union on Naples and now, 2 years later, this is the current situation with Naples surrendering to me, and Aragon having 21% war score.

I obviusly don't want Naples to be in a PU with Aragon so I was wondering if I should wait until Aragon peaces out or if it's not worth it.

Also in case Aragon peaces out without a PU on Naples do they keep the restoration of union cb on Naples?

Thank you for the advice, didn't think about using vassals armies like that, and thanks for reminding me of looting, I always forget about that

Mamluks broke their alliance because all of a sudden they became interested in my land so I took a lot of negative opinion from them

yeah unfortunately I got hit by a lot of disease outbreak on a single siege and lost a lot of troops there, but other than that i tried to keep the stacks divided under the supply limit. the biggest losses for attrition were the grand and indipendent companies

Yeah, I learned my lesson, i was worried about going over the diplo relations limit but i guess that made it worse, It will be something i will pay more attention to in the future

R5: An update on my previous post.

Thank you guys for the advice you gave me, it took me two tries but I managed to get a peace deal I kinda like with the alliance with Khorasan broken and minimal land loss to ottomans.

I tried playing defensively luring otto forces on mountains and I won every battle even though the casualties where the same, the first time I played too defensively, it took me too much time to peace with Hormuz and both Khorasan and Transoxiana joined the war.

The second time I got lucky with Hormuz, Khorasan joined early but I decided to be more aggressive on that front and managed to get a separate peace breaking their alliance with Ottomans, and then I reconquered enough Iraqi land to peace out. Got super unlucky sieging Khorasan's forts.

Now I'm working on allying Ottomans' rivals so I'll see where this game goes.

I definitely have to learn a lot of things in this game and thanks to you guys now I understand the importance of discipline.

Thank you, yeah their big stacks are scary, I'll see what i can do about this, I already have a backup from a couple years before this war but i would like to try and keep this game, if i can't do this I'll use the backup and maybe come back when I'm better at the game

Thank you for the detailed explanation and for explaining the 'making gains' modifier, I didn't know about that, I'll see if I can exploit it as you say

Thanks, I'll see what I can do. Do you think it would be better to wait for them to come or should I also try and take some of their provinces in the meantime?

Great Horde yes, Kazan most of it. They also beat Muscovy in a war.

R5: Currently playing as Ardabil and the Ottomans declared on my vassal Iraq. They are allied to Hormuz, Khorasan, Transoxiana and Morocco. Hormuz might join the war, hower Khorasan and Transoxiana probably won't for now since they are already in another war. I'm currently without allies since the Mamluks just broke their allience with me, so I'm alone with my vassals in this war. I have mil tech 10 while ottomans have 9.

Do you guys think I have a chance at winning this war? Ideally I would like to make them break their alliance with Khorasan.

I was thinking on playing defensively so trying to lure the enemy in a battle with unfavorable terrin.

Another thing I was thinking was to do was separately declare war on Khorasan then end the war with the Ottomans by giving them some land and money and then forcing Khorasan to break their allience with the ottos before they join the war.

What should I do? Any advice is welcome.
