This mod, DRN, formerly "Stop Helping Me", makes it so If one wished to effectively recapture land they would need to go on the offensive.

Back in 1.5.9, there was an issue with weak allies aggressively losing offensive battles, and in the process forfeit all the progress that front might have had, this mod was originally made to deal with that.

in 1.5.10, Paradox has implemented mechanics to alleviate the problem of weak allies losing occupation, however defensive recaptures being as powerful as offensive captures is still questionable, and apparently, despite paradox's efforts on dealing with the 1.5.9 issue, many believe that this tweak is still needed. So it will remain.

Paradox tried to deal with the issue again with 1.6. Time will tell if it worked, but I maintain this nerf is sensible, so it will remain. Paradox also halfway adopted this mod in 1.8, but they only nerfed defensive recapture by a factor of 2 instead of a factor of 10.
