anyone else use war subsidies? another question: does the AI ever use war subsidies? I don't recall ever receiving war subsidies, but perhaps i have and wasn't aware of it?
How is the amount granted determined? obviously it has something to do with the size of the military... i ask because the amount granted usually seems pretty small in comparison to upkeep costs for a military... and if the amount is too small to make any tangible difference then it's probably a good idea not to use them in most cases....
How i like to use them: i DOW somebody, then as the war progresses and opportunities present i call a minor ally and subsidize them as soon as possible. This seems to have the effect of encouraging militarization in my minor allies. but it's tough to know if this is a result of the subsidy itself or more related to the simple fact of being involved in a war.
I also use them for wars im not involved in, but the effects here seem even less concrete...
So, are war subsidies just throwing good money away?
