-Investment as Greece : 20 no, 1 yes (from the SU, as a Democracy...)
-France and GB against Turkey : sometimes yes, sometimes no


Unless there is something I don't understand, investment is a disapointment...

Now I have issues with reimbursing debts button disappearing (either a bug or a poorly explained feature)
I'm not sure if it's intended or not but it seems to have some kind of cooldown. Once you're close to done with only 1 or so nations left it will dissapear for a while then return.

I tried the Conference to go to war with Turkey and got both France and GB to agree in exchange for territorial concessions. They were both at 100 relations with me. Made sure those relations stayed there on until I completed the next focus that actually starts the war.

Then they both reneged on the deal and left me hanging in the wind. Talk about being betrayed by the west. Not sure if it's RNG or a bug, but considering you spend a year doing the focuses, and end up at war with a big neighbour, something like that was a major bad play experience for me. I just quit the game at that point.

This has been driving me insane all day. I just spent the past 3 hours running the same game like 5 or 6 times trying to get France and Britain to both join the war like they promise. Finally got Britain to join and then they called France to war after initially backing out, then in the peace deal France didn't automatically get assigned Kurdistan and what followed was border gore so horrendous I quit the game right there. No fun at all.

The reimburse debts dissapearing is irritating because you need to pay all of them to have the malus gone.
