I'm Perm. I rebel on Muscovy. Muscovy has less total troops than Perm+Novgorod. Novrogod has all starting provinces, and cores on Muscovy lands, and claims on other Muscovy lands.
Muscovy sends its army.
Novgorod does nothing.
I beat one of Muscovy's armies.
Novgorod does nothing.
Like...ok. I understand not doing anything when the war starts. Why incur Muscovy's wrath? But if you're Novgorod you've got at least as much money, and even though manpower isn't as good, Muscovy is completely exhausted by a war vs Golden Horde (in which Novgorod did...you guessed it, NOTHING) and on the verge of peasant's war. Novgorod won't DOW. Won't invade. It would rather sit there and be eaten by Muscovy later.
Now I'll give Paradox some credit. On the Gandhi-to-Hitler scale of aggression, at least they're not on the bottom rung anymore, but they're kind of hanging around John Adams right now.
"War?...........Maybe, sort of, something something. Eh."
You know, in a game where the main objective is to invade things, a lot of countries sure don't like to invade things. Especially if invading things entails hurting a country that doesn't like the player. Here you are, land ripe for the taking, a chance to cripple your rival, and............nothing.
Is there any reason to invade someone who you can take things from? Exactly. Of course not.
