War ally not assisting..?

Help

I’m still relatively new to the game so apologies if this is an obvious answer. I’ve just been at war with England over the Northumberland region as I had a claim to the area (I currently hold Scotland). There was an option to call on my ally (Denmark) to assist in my claim. The actual option to ask for support wasn’t available to select.

Why is this? It didn’t come up with a reason, I just couldn’t select it. My first thought was they were also an ally of whom I’m at war against..

In the end the war was inconclusive as I backed out once it emerged I would end up at war with Denmark, so I’ll have to try again.

I must say, I’m absolutely in love with this game. I just wish I knew more as some things I’m doing blind without knowledge as to what it actually means.

Was your ally in a different war cause they could have just been focusing on that one cause they were already there

Not sure to be honest, I never thought of that and wouldn’t have known where to check.

On the allies character page where it shows their alliances should show if they are at war

I’m new too but when my ally isn’t helping it’s usually just cause they are caught up in another war Where to check depends on system I’m on console so if I click on their character and hold LT it’s there

If it wouldn't let you actually select the option to pick what war to ask for assistance in, I've had the same thing on Xbox.

There are so many UI bugs on console that I'm considering just sitting down the game for a while until we get Royal Courts.
