Yeah, that's true - problem lies with their motivation i think. The thing is, they should have a real incentive to BEGIN being engaged. I don't buy Belize saying "hey GB, come help us, we will graciously give you half of Mexico if you defend us". If Belize says " Hey GB if you don't let Mexico annex us, we will become your protectorate" then its a whole different story. Great powers could start a war over a tiny territory, provided this tiny territory is ready to become their colony and not like tries to bribe them by offering something they don't have. It generally should be GPs manipulating tiny states, not opposite.
I don't know much about what AI can and can't do here - if what you say is possible then yes, I think this would indeed solve the problem!
Los Altos nation tag does exist in the leak, odd that it didn't break away too. It definitely should.
Hard disagree. Belize is a bit special here, because it already is a British colony. Directly messing with the colony itself should absolutely drag the Empire into the conflict. A war between Guatemala and Nicaragua/costa Rica however should require spending on of your limited interests for the region. I guess the US did have one or they wouldn't have been able to interfere, so that one I'm OK with.
Ok, come on, make it not Belize and Mexico but Aussa and Tigray. As I said I don't know much at all about latin america and from the comment's content it's obvious i don't know that Belize is british colony bcz just as I state in the very comment - if that tiny nation offers to become colony for support, then a GP should join.
The AI in such games is kinda relying on a list of desires and priorities. The devs just have to put the desire to accept a state that they could have declared for themselves pretty much at zero, and then evaluate how valuable the ally is in getting that wargoal instead.
He didn't have a navy, but that doesn't mean he didn't have ships for trade. We did learn a while ago that trade got a bunch of reworks so there is a lot of automatic fluctuations and automation.
The aim of Los Altos wasn't independence though. It's aims were in this order:
I'm pretty sure whoever starts the traderoute has to pay the convoys, no matter if it's import or export. Otherwise you could for example collapse the british empire by importing stuff from them until they can't connect to their colonies anymore.
Lol dude it should be crystal clear from his comment that Belize is just a random example and after saying "hard disagree" you are basically repeating the point stated in that comment
I should have made an important difference more clear:
Sorry, I don't understand what you are referring to. What is this thing and why does it bother you?
CK3 style notifications. Several people expressed they don't like that it's some list you have to expand and not a line of symbols like in EU4 and other pre CK3 pdx games. I personally don't mind it
I see, thank you! I don't mind it too, so I was confused if there was something else that I'm missing.
Sorry, yes. It is the CK3 style message system. I feel it hides important information in with low importance information using words instead of easy to understand (or easy to learn) icons.
