Was wondering if anyone could explain this rather weird situation I had in the game I'm playing: as Austria, I decided to be generally obnoxious during the Ausgleich negotiations -- annexing Bosnia and Galicia, calling for centralization, etc. I ended up going to war with Bohemia and Hungary -- so far, so good. I had annexed Bohemia and was about to finish off Hungary when, out of the blue, Germany declared war on me. My relationship with Germany was near +200 before the declaration.
I didn't really want to go to war with Germany, so I reloaded the game to the last autosave, and sure enough, the same thing happened again, except a few days later this time. Reload again. This time I offer an alliance to Germany and they accept. What is going on? :wacko:
