Understand the theory behind this move. If theres a way to shorten the duration its be nice, assisting them more etc. Or time increased if you didn't help it'd be better.
But as of my last few games allies are buggy as hell.
So all this addition seems to me is - a timer on when the next time the AI will to sit in its own territory and do nothing during a war again.
Thought maybe it was the AI allies not getting access and posted in a thread to find out they get the same access. So instead its just bad AI.
Spent multiple wars ferrying/marching troops across in boats/over land to assist France or other countries in games, then when its time to assist me in offence or defense in a war, they just sit there.
Not always, sometimes they might help a little, but mostly it was just sitting there and maybe responding to attacks/troops nearby or in their territory
Most of these are enemies they share a border with/are rivals of or have been in multiple wars with on their own, and in their own previous wars they attacked them.
If it was an enemy it would have issues getting to fair enough, but just how buggy the AI is this new modifier doesn't seem like a big deal.
Gone back to expecting the AI to do nothing when planning a war, or if it is going to do something, expect it to try to support its own enemy its fought multiple times as defender of the faith instead of its ally who defended it previously against that target, multiple times.
On the plus side, it has been good with the extra free time from being shitty with AI last few playthroughs enough to lose the urge to play EU.
A breaks always good.
