Resolved Forcing a War as a Vassal Destroyed my Influence

[Bartoneye]

Summary: My influence went from 174 to -174 after declaring war on Battania.

How to Reproduce: During a campaign of Bannerlord where I am a Vassal to the Western Empire, Battania has been mostly captured and they are down to only owning Nevyansk Castle under the rule of Caladog's clan. I am playing an Imperial Culture character and caused a war with Battania in order to capture their final fief by raiding one of their villages. After closing the pop-ups for raiding the village, I attempted to create an army to take Nevyansk castle, which is when I noticed that a negative sign had been added to the front of my Influence and the Influence turned red.

Is this working as intended, as punishment for forcing a war between two nations and bypassing the voting, or a major bug?

Hi, do you have a save file before declaring war? Can you upload it to upload.taleworlds.com? Please paste the link to this thread in the description box on the upload website so I can identify it.

If I do, it'll be an auto-save most likely. I will check first thing tomorrow.

Bump: Edited OP with screenshots and uploading the save file to upload.taleworlds.com.

If it's working as intended, maybe a quality of life addition could be made to let the player know how much influence they stand to lose. As seen in the screenshot, I have 233 Influence and after raiding the village to force a war it goes down to -64.

Forwarding this issue to the QA team for further investigation. Thanks for reporting.

I have been informed that this is not bugged, but intended as the vassal started the war and not the king. Marking this thread as solved, thanks for reporting!
