Entente of our own bug

[Duke_Dave]

So I did the czech focus tree of entente of our own and my allies Yugoslavia and Romania just sit there being useless pieces of s*** could you please look into this? I did not use mods. It just makes this focus tree pretty useless.
And yes Austro-Hungary formed on their own pretty funny.

same happened to me with romania in my czech faction, yugo was out of the faction though... once i invited yugo in, romania started fighting in the yugo territory, but neither one has/had supported me(czech)

I think in the current version allies will come in only if you can't man the fronts yourself in order to not cause a supply breakdown. You can try next time to concentrate all your forces to a part of the front (maxing out width) and leaving the rest empty. Your allies will probably come in to fill up the empty frontline. You can obviously do this only before the war breaks out.

Supply wasn't an issue. The ai just ignored the fact it was allied with me other than pulling troops from my border.
I'll try to replicate the issue and provide a save after the black Friday rush

I mean they'll probably not send anyone if you have some troops on the border. It is telling that if there is a Japanese-Soviet war in Asia after a Chinese defeat the European Axis is always trying to send troops there because the front is very long and the Japanese can't man it themselves.

that in and of itself should be a bug then, as a Czech that removes troops from its border with Germany during a war is a dead Czech anyway....

also, found a save from when i experienced this.

Same experience. Romania did nothing during my playthru as Czech. And Yugoslavia didn't join, with no explanation. Makes the Little Entente worthless.

Someone did suggest Romania hadn't been invite to join the war in my game, this may be correct in hindsight. But if so it's poor game design that there are no warnings about this, given in other factions joint defence is a given.

Basically having paid for the DLC specifically to play what if scenarios like this, it's quite aggravating to find it broken, a year after it came out.

You should try it before the start of the war.

I wouldn't feel safe being guarded by my AI allies though

The behavior the AI seems to follow in this situation is that the allied AI countries won't try to fight in any situation where an enemy country isn't directly bordering them. That doesn't seem to be the case with naval invasions. This also really only seems to affect player countries too.
