Is there any disadvantage to joining an ally's war but then not lifting a finger to help?
If I have a powerful but far-off ally who asks me to join their war at a moment when I'm too busy with my own wars, is there any disadvantage to accepting their call for help but then never actually sending troops to help? Will my ally be offended in any way? Will they be more pleased if I actually do send help?
I know that there are certain intrigue options that become unavailable if you're at war, but let's assume that I'm already at war and ignore that aspect...
Best Answer
There is no prestige or opinion penalty to contributing 0% to an ally's war.
The main disadvantage is that joining an ally's war counts as being at war. This stops you changing succession laws or making decisions that require you to be at peace such as holding feasts. This can be problematic if the war drags on- as an ally there's not much you can do about it.
