You know, I'm starting to feel like Germany before WWI here. Why is it when I play as Persia and build up my empire that everyone around me allies against me when Ottomans is the obviously more powerful country. Even Qara Koyunlu and Shiite Iraq ally against me! I feel like HTTT must have changed the AI from annoying and overly aggressive to annoying, overly aggressive and blantantly obvious in it's desire to wipe me out for no reason other than me being the human player.

You must've been a bad player, by that I mean literally the BB.

But why is 10 BB alot? I don't understand, how am I suppose to unite the Iranian peoples under the Peacock Throne if I'm constantly being judged by foreigners for it? And Turky-Jerky, why can he infinitely expand and even inherit the throne of mamluks but no one hates him for it?

ok then try some of these:

1) Sack one of your advisors and hire a good philosopher (+ prestige)
2) Train more diplomats and spend on foreign relations.
3) Make treaties: RM, Alliances, Right of passage (can become useful as a warning for an impending invasion when they'd cancel it), hiring a diplomat can help likelihood of accepting deals, If you don't have a diplomatic ruler.
4) Return land to your neighbors, those that have cores on it.

I'm sure there are more ways...

I feel like I, as the player, am the only one getting ruined by BB. France or Russia can have hundreds of BB and no one does anything about them.

Exactly why you should feel special when playing Eu3..

Hundreds of BB? You're sure? Then DoW them, like they would to you.:rofl:
srsly, hundreds of BB?

he ate all of golden horde. Just like that. Don't ask me how man, he was hated the world over for it. Just like that he ate them.

They probably view you with distrust. It´s a separate relationship scale which mainly detoriates from dows, with a valid cb or not.

I've watched Austria go over the BB limit and get overrun from all sides, with 4 province Syria forcing them to release Styria, Tyrol, and Bosnia - before I even got a chance to hit them.

I've watched Burgundy go over the BB limit and get warred on by all her neighbors, then get annexed within 20 years (ok, I helped in that one).

The Dishonorable Scum CB in HTTT makes it REALLY hard for the AI to go over the BB limit and not get torn to shreds, due to the lowered cost on releasing nations and taking provinces.

It is much worse to carry a 10bb then raise it to 15 and let it drop to 0... You are constantly getting a negative to your diplomacy verses EVERY other nation in the game.

France gets away with it cause they kick the crap out of anyone that objects. In 3.2 I would go over BB once I was big enough, daring the AI to DoW me... They seldom do once you get too big.

In HTTT the AI became a lot more opportunistic that's why you'll see huge nations collapse at times as the AI will feel their weakness and descend upon them like sharks
They'll do the same to you if they feel you're weak. This is what's happening to you

True, I once was playing France and my WE was high, and my *"fighting ability" went < 20% fighting off the English, then Brittany and Burgundy in an alliance Dow'd me and whipped my blue . Provence would have joined in the assault, luckily her provinces defected to me in time. Still, in the end, I lost the whole thing.
