Designating a target

[Kamakazi]

Ive been told you can designate a target for your allies to attack etc. But I cant seem to figure out how it works. Any help on this subject?

Occasionally, if you have a client state or military/defensive ally, you get a message saying that there is a target available for war. I've been looking around the diplomacy window to see if I kind find anything on that but it just seems to be translating into "A higher (or 100%) chance that your ally will accept your request to join a war".

It's hidden on the diplomacy main screen. Before you select any factions, look on the bottom left of the diplomacy screen and one of the buttons there is 'designate target'. Hit it then select something on the map and your allies will flail around innefectually before launching a poorly chosen stack of unsuitable units in the vague direction of it who will then position themselves to completely fail to support your armies, and when you finally do manage to get them to come along as re-inforcements they will throw themselves at the enemy with reckless abandon long before your army gets into position, leaving you to fight them as if they weren't there at all.

At least thats what happened to me every time.
