[Aemr]

In before the complaints about it not being Poland.

Sssshhhhhh!

 

[Aemr]

Sssshhhhhh!

Sorry, I forget we were trying to hide the fact that Poland have actually been removed from the game.

 

[glarnak]

*smiles* Nice DD! Gonna be fun to play TO for sure!

 

[1alexey]

as others asked any limitations to enforce peace?

 

[Aemr]

as others asked any limitations to enforce peace?

Yeah, if we can do so indiscriminately then it would be rather overpowered. Hopefully it can only be done to aid nations with whom you have a good relation or perhaps are of your religion under attack by another faith.

 

[Zarine]

It says that attacker must be winning.

 

[Cymsdale]

I predict that Enforce Peace will be the most whined about feature.

 

[Aemr]

It says that attacker must be winning.

Problem is, that is a lot of wars. There should be more qualifiers so it's not open to abuse like the old 'guarantee independence'(wording?) problem.

However, it sounds like I'm whining so I will say I do like the concept in general and the fleet basing rights sounds excellent.

 

[Jia Xu]

We have "enforce peace" in Victoria 2. As long as the defender had no war goals, you could join the war on their side in order to maintain the status quo. It's a proven balance preserving and anti-blobbing feature.

 

[unmerged(80402)]

Enforce peace :
Hey stop fighting now! Or i kill u!
No!
Then fight!
Attacker vs the policeman
policeman hits!
Attacker doges
etc.

 

[MartinSWE]

The 'enforce peace' option sounds great both from a game balance and historical perspective. ALOT of wars where fought to preserve the careful 'terror balance' between major nations and this is a great way to make this happen in game aswell.

 

[Spacehamster]

So this means TO can not longer form Prussia proper?

 

[unmerged(80402)]

Wat u doin! Poland staph attacking teutonic ordah! U no staph? War!

OR :

FRANCE WAT U DOIN? STAPH ATTACKING ORLEANS? U NO STAPH??? WAR!!!

 

[Sandmann]

So this means TO can not longer form Prussia proper?

Why not?

 

[Spacehamster]

Why not?

Because supposedly the national ideas are kept when becoming a new nation so it appears the Prussian ideas belong to Brandenburg only.

 

[BoleslavLev]

I though they are kept sometimes (Great Britain) and sometimes not (Italy).

 

[calvinhobbeslik]

Hmm, so 3 DDs left after this one(or is it 4?) I guess they will be Poland/Lithuania/Hungary, Byzantium, and ROTW?

 

[Natte]

Liking it alot, but the most important question remains, will historical crusading states have capes in vanilla EU4 like in EU3 + cosmetic DLCs? Or will I have to buy a DLC for the capes?

 

[jalapen0]

Am I the only one that thinks Asia minor looks a bit strange? Or is that just the perspective?
