In case anyone has any knowledge of how the AI makes decisions past 1890 I'd be happy to know.
After my latest experience I'm rather sure that there is no difference in AI logic when the great wars are activated so they seem to be rather suicidal at times.
I was playing my mega france (overall score trough the roof, 300 land brigades and 400 to mobilize, 160 ironclads, too many cruisers and battle ships etc.) and Bavaria with their awesome 6 provinces, 30 brigades and a lot of bad attitude decided to back Poland (which ironically was way stronger than Bavaria but lacking industrial and prestige score to be GP) in a crisis against Austria that was the dominant force in middle europe as I had dropped Prussia to secondary power.
I joined Bavaria's side because Russia was more likely to join there and I though we'll just talk this out but during the last week of the crisis both GB and Russia joined Austria's side and a great war begun.
Given that it is rather stressful to fight on 3 fronts against 3 great powers it was a bit of a slow start but eventually I just crushed British out of the game and warscore was +40 on our side despite Bavaria getting occupied. So the logical decision to do á la AI? Give up in a great war, of course! :happy:
Gee, thanks matey! I just kicked so much tea drinkers around the globe that their population dropped with something like 10% and after that almost anschlussed Austria alone but now I'm paying daily reparations that are larger than your yearly income + I lost my navies and armies.
This is why I crank up my infamy and stick a middle finger up on any possible allies if I can manage without them.. Gotta annex Bavaria next...
