Breaking Truce?

[DDRJake]

As far as I am aware, breaking truce gives +5 War Exhaustion, -5 stability and lowers the target nation's trust in you.

Does it have any other ill effects, particularly with relations/trust with other nations?

I'm trying to break truces more often in my games because 5 stability and 5 WE is nothing for a well run nation. I just need to see if there are any other ill effects. This is assuming you also have a valid CB so you don't suffer even more stability loss and WE.

According to the wiki, it also gave you 4 BB in v1.3 but I'm not sure how relevant that is in DW.

I haven't noticed any sideeffects other than that, although I'd guess that some nations would look down on you/worse relations by breaking truces. Haven't checked it out though.

Maybe you can give me some hints how to deal with high WE and how to lower it as quick as possible? You know, its hard for my country (488 provinces, -5 centralisation) to sustain WE over 10 for a longer period. Constant spam of rebels is extremly annoying, especially on islands. The problem is that is raises very fast, mainly in wars with Austria (my average size of forces: 300 000, theirs: 250 000), soldiers are slaughtered quickly, attrition is kinda a problem in enemy territory and least but not at last I usually take forts by force. During peace WE goes down fast, but well, the problem occurs during war.

In my opinion it shouldn't give you any stability hit, but rather just lower your relations by a great deal with everyone. Or maybe lower prestige to 0 or something along those lines.

Go narrowminded and decentralization. Apart from that, have a good adm ruler.

If you don't want to deal with having no money and crappy tech, learn to deal with war exhaustion. Those are really your only 2 options.

Small armies that takes near no attrition stationed close to eachother, when the Austrians or whoever apear, join forces, in order for this to really work you need to infiltrate administration and keep a close eye on their armies. Also, make sure your rebel killing stacks actually isn't big enough to cause attrition in war, even if they just stand still, they will make you gain WE faster.

Often against large countries that will, in most cases force a prolonged war I find it easiest to eliminate their main stack(s) then spread 3 or regiment forces on each of their provinces. They will be able to deal with any smaller forces that apear by combining them and they will also get the job of sieging all of the fortresses done just as fast as if you were taking them one by one by force. Offcourse, they would have to be of some size for this to be the best tactic for me atleast.
