Ok, why, and how do you prevent, the AI nations from just breaking alliances?
IIRC keep your infamy below 10 or it might be 15
I figured out what it was. I was Prussia allied with Austria. Since I had that hedgemony CB that never went away that lowered relation by 3.00 or so a year, which is A LOT when you dont realize its happening, they jsut droped out of liking me range and broke the alliance. Still sorta crap though.
Side note... if someone has a perma CB on you, like you have their cores (see alsace loraine) any way to keep them from declaring on you every 5 years like clockwork?
I suppose but its hard to get anything except for white peace when France seems to have perma alliances with UK and Russiacut down to size?
Why does it seem that the AI is actively out to prevent you, even if you are allied, from succeeding?
For example, Austria and Prussia. I am trying to form the NFG and despite having every german minor except wurtenburg sphered Austria, my ALLY is doing her best to remove them from my spheres. I understand the whole, spheres help them, but a unified NFG would help the alliance so much more. just quite frustrating that an ally is doing something that seems like a purly malicious thing.
No... but its not like they have a chance to stop me, they keep using discredit knocking their influence to 0 and letting me keep going, its just making it more frustrating for me.Are you both of comparable strength atm?, would you want prussia to form the NGF if there was a chance that they could tunr against you?

Ok, here is a different question... WTF is with that prussian core on the Swiss capital state, is that needed for NFG and Germany?
Also, when there is no hegemony to be asserted... why does the CB stay active?

There is a beta. I hope they plan to release it as stable...Is thee going to be a patch 1.4? I remember that it was under production a while ago but looks like it is forgotten.
Ok, is there ANY WAY besides... I dunno, building a world shatteringly large army, that you can STOP france (and her allies, in my case, every time, the UK and France) from declaring war with Prussia/NFG/Germany EVERY 5 YEARS for Alsace Loraine?
Currently I'm playing as France and made venezuela a puppet state. My question is what are the advantages of making a state your puppet vs establishing a protectorate (Conquest) or placing it in your sphere of influence
My way to do it is to beat France to pulp...Occupy every province for 2 or 3 years before making peace, add some cheap wargoals like free people and humiliate.
France should take such a hit that she will never cause problem again.
Keep some strong armies in Alsace Lorraine that she can see...and keep some strong armies ready in your country.
And nothing say after the war is done you cant go back to 150+ relation...
Doing that usually work very well for me.
My issue is their amazingly super alliances with the UK and Russia, they never break them and they always join the war. I can not fight two front constantly and I can not destroy all of russia's armies inorder to hold the territory
So you are only just winning the war? No wonder they come back for more

not for strong alliances anymore?
