    Endless (colonial) wars?

    AHD/PDM.

    I noticed several times that especially colonial wars can go on forever.

    Germany had a war against one of the coastal African states for 10+ years, and never even invaded them one bit.

    The US had a war against the Netherlands over Hawaii, France joined the dutch, and its also a zero-battle, zero-warsocre war for 10+ years.

    Once I also had the "fortune" to get into such a war against GP, with Russia being the war leader of my side. A few occupations is all that has happened. No troop movement in many years. No peace in sight

    What up with that?

    My last game with APD was similar. Almost every AI war ended in a stalemate, and because of this, aside from a few oddities (Austria in Greece and the Ottoman Empire in Washington), the map stayed for the most part the same. I didn't bother trying to solve, but I do remember my checksum being nothing at all like the one it should be, so you could try investigating that.

    If the Ottomans are in Washington something is messed up.

    Sure, I'll be over at your house in ten minutes. ><

    You haven't cleared your map cache, so the distances are messed up.
    For every subtle and complicated question, there is a simple and straightforward answer, which is wrong.

    I have noticed that the AI is not that good at using boats. I remember the ottomans declared war on yemen and they took all there provinces save one. There little island. It ended in a stalemate....... after 30 years.

    Guess Out of all the ideas to invade the island in that time no one ever thought to use boats.

    Damn. Another thirty years and the "Lob rocks in the island's general direction" plan would've worked.

    Something similar happens to Sardinia-Piedmont and Italy the same. Rebels spawn in Sardinia, they stay there forever. Hell, I've seen S-P form Italy and rebels still did roam Sardinia.
