Hi,
I don't know if this is a bug or not, but I'll post here to see if it is or not.
So, England is fighting a war with Russia, Germany and Thailand. Independently of that war, I launch my own war as Iran to conquer British India. I begin making progress, claiming cities, when suddenly I am put into a forced peace with England as a congress begins, triggered by the conclusion of the other English war. Not only am I forced into a peace and congress negotiations, during the triggered congress England gets to reclaim one of the cities I conquered.
To say the least, this didn't leave a great taste in my mouth. I don't see why I wouldn't be given an option to not end my war. Turn before the congress attached.
Also, another thing I've noticed: Is it intended that you can now build farms on riverside desert tiles, and can now build cottages on tiles that provide no food (plains hills, desert, etc)? It used to be that you couldn't.
