Re: Designating a target
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".
Re: Designating a target
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.
I was trying to find some help in the ancient military journals of General Tacticus, who's intelligent campaigning had been so successful that he'd lent his very name to the detailed prosecution of martial endeavour, and had actually found a section headed "What To Do If One Army Occupies A Well-Fortified And Superior Ground And The Other Does Not", but since the first sentence read "Endeavour to be the one inside" I'd rather lost heart.

Re: Designating a target
It works for me in my Averni game. I start with a def. ally whcih I made into a full-fledged military ally. I designate a target and they ran two and a half stacks at it. They beat an army which was in my way and I just came up to mop up. IMO it works quite well.
Does anyone know the rquirements before the AI would join a confederation?
The art of war, then, is governed by five constant
factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations,
when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
(4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.

Beating them into submission is one way. At that point the join confederation button becomes a way to conquer them quicker.
