Dangerous Bad Boy Level???

[Fading Captain]

At what point should you start to get concerned about your bad boy level?

Right now it is 36, and, playing as Germany, Russia--the one country I don't want to attack me!--has DOWed my twice. The first time Russia DOWed France declared war against me shortly afterward.

It depends on your military score.

What do you have and what does the one attacking you have?

 

[Darkrenown]

There's no set danger level, it depends on your relitive strenght between you and your neighbours.

 

[Fading Captain]

It depends on your military score.
What do you have and what does the one attacking you have?

Before war was declared, I had 145 (3rd) and Russia had 165 (2nd).

 

[Nightcap]

That will be why then.

There was some sneaky editing just then. I swear it read 32 (5th)

[Jerzy_I]

yeah if his is higher he will probably attack.

On the other hand whats your relations with russia. He could just be attacking cause he doesn't like ya

Germany is also on Russia's black list, so it might attack you just 'because'.

 

[Fading Captain]

That will be why then.

Sorry about that. There was sneaky editting, as I realized that my military score was much higher before mobilization and Russia's DOW.

I tried to be quick.

 

[Nightcap]

Not a problem, just making sure I wasn't seeing things

It depends quite a bit. Something like 30-40 is quite frightening if you play Prussia (You annexed a couple of `em minors to make the map look better ).

But if you take Brazil, annex and conquer all the "minors" like Argentina and Peru, AND REMEMBER to buy the Dutch, French and English Guyanas (This is essential so that you are not their neighbour.) Now what`s you worry? Keep the "border state" of either USCA or Mexico (If you choose Mexico, then get that Belize!!).

Maybe even make the state of Panama, and TADAA! You got yourself a nice little South America, hundreds of BB, but no worries none at all....


Technically speaking of course...

But on the otherhand nobody wants to make any deals with you and you are dependent on your own research, which can be a bit of a downer.

This is why it is important for Prussia to have a large standing army. To provide a deterent to bad boy wars. Historically, this was true as well. One of the Kaisers remarked that the purpose of the Prussian army was to be, not to fight.

 

[Claude Luster]

yeah if his is higher he will probably attack.

On the other hand whats your relations with russia. He could just be attacking cause he doesn't like ya

Is military strength an effective deterrent against badboy wars?

Is military strength an effective deterrent against badboy wars?

Yes. You can be the baddest boy around, if you're also the toughest boy around.

 

[Rosey Palmer]

I've never had a BB war while my BB was less than 20. So I start to pay special attention to my mil points at about 20.

Is military strength an effective deterrent against badboy wars?

Sometimes. If you have some of another nation’s cores, they can come at you regardless of your strength.
