Again, it just affects other things. Italy can somewhat handle the new guarentees and if you are smart enough and skilled enough, You can get France and UK too, which is a big help. The problem is around Greece and Austria Hungary. I rarely ever see the guarentees go away, but im also playing on Ahistorical so thats probably it.

I just played a Co-op game with a (very new player) friend as the Axis. I was on Germany, he was on Italy. He had never won a game of HoI4 before. He has watched a lot of guides on youtube, but by no means is he a skilled Italy who knows all the tricks. He justified on Yugo right before finishing War With Greece, and tension went up to 27% about a month before he declared on both in January 38. Despite the tension increase, there were no new guarantees, just the standard Romanian guarantee on Greece. On historical AI it seems that France does its Buy Time focus in early 37, and the game is pretty lenient on the window an Italy player has to annex the Balkans.
They'll guarantee Yugo if tension's above 25%. The UK also guarantees Iraq and Iran. I said they guarantee everything because for Greece I never gave them the opportunity to do that by declaring right away while at pause but it seems there are exceptions.

Again, it just affects other things. Italy can somewhat handle the new guarentees and if you are smart enough and skilled enough, You can get France and UK too, which is a big help. The problem is around Greece and Austria Hungary. I rarely ever see the guarentees go away, but im also playing on Ahistorical so thats probably it.
It goes away but they guarantee again if tension allows. You need to time it right to get an easy war.

Well, it doesn't really work on Ahistorical, since that's a clusterfuck to begi nwith. This only applies to Historical ai focuses.

They'll guarantee Yugo if tension is above 25% AND they have enough political power to do so, and if you're not in a faction guaranteeing is less of a priority for the AI I think. France never gets rid of Disjointed Government on historical AI until way later, so it typically doesn't guarantee anything unless you wait a really long time with tension above 25%. If tension goes above the threshold a month before your justification is done it probably won't matter.

I think they consider how much a threat you or your faction is and it becomes a factor in their decision.

World tension is also a factor so they'll be more likely to guarantee at let's say 80% tension than 40% tension.
