The Great War, how will it start? I just got this game yesterday and I am loving it:happy:, but I have a question, when and how will the Great War begin? This game has all the right ingredients for it, Different government types and ideas (Communism, Fascism. Democracy, Socialism, Etc.), 8 world powers with their own sphere of influence, and a great deal of alliance webs have formed in Europe and around the world, just the making for a war to escalate into a full blown world war:eek:… But, would the Ai start it? The Ai controlling the 8 world powers have everything they could possibly want, would they risk a massive war just to acquire a small state, or a colony from a nation that is almost equally powerful to itself? How do the treaties of the Great War differ from the treaties of normal wars? Think of the infamy they must accumulate! Anyways, thanks for your answers, and I am playing Victoria 2 ADH 2.31 vanilla. If this game doesn’t simulate the Great War that well, point me in the direction of a mod that will, but if it is possible to have Great Wars in vanilla, I would like to try that. Thanks
 
In vanilla, any war with two or more GPs on either side becomes a Great war. All CBs become much, much cheaper.

You may want to take a look at the Great Wars mod, which adds a lot of event-based features to make a Great War much more interesting.
 
Yes, I strongly recommend that mod.

In the core game, Great Wars don't really work since half the time the nations just peace out after a while (which kind of defeats the purpose since it's supposed to be a total mobilization that results in the utter annihilation of one side or the other).
 
I'll try the Great Wars mod, also will try the PDM mod. Yah :( I havent seen any major wars between the great powers yet. Guess the AI are not that ambitious to risk huge wars for huge gain. I have also noticed that allies don't help you in aggresion wars. I would think that if I attacked a contry that is not in anyones sphere, that an great power allied nation would help me to expand it's influence. Im in the France's sphere, I declare war on Egypt(Who isn't in anyone's sphere), And France dosn't help me. If France had they could have expanded there sphere.
 
Ok, once AI France attacked AI England, all the GPs expet me were in the war, both sides took extreme losses, Austria and Russi were fully occupied, was a gigantic war... france's gain were three provinces in wales, really dissapointing, specially since ALL of Austria, Russia and NFG was occupied...
