France can't declare war on Rusia?

**aoe2exp** · January 20, 2013, 01:48 PM

I am playing as France. I defeated the Germans and Hungary. Now I want to invade Russia, but there is not an option in diplomatic relations. I tried attacking one of their town and it prompts to confirm and call my allies, but when I click accept the message stays and nothing happens.

Any idea how to fix?

Have you broken your alliance with England, or Italy or other Entente members? they may still be their allies and if they are yours you can't declare war on your allie's ally.

We were still allies. All my saved games crash now so I can come back and try it
