Been playing for several hours now, and I've found only 1 thing that seriously annoys me (surprising for a day 1 PDS release
).
France loves me - they're "friendly" towards me and would be entirely willing to accept an alliance if I offered it. However, my country hates France. My opinion of France is -47 (Threatened). Because of this the option to ally with France is greyed out, with the following text as explanation: "We cannot ally with Switzerland as we need to have a positive opinion of them, currently at -49" - that's a very confusing message btw, it implies that France's opinion of me is too low, which it is not. It's my country, surely I get to decide what my opinion of France is. I rather need this alliance to protect myself from Austria who just inherited half of Burgundy, and it's very irritating that I can't do that because "I" think France is too big and threatening.
Could the devs please consider making this an ai-only restriction? I want to be able make choices based on my own considerations, not based on the criteria the ai have to use. I'm not forced to pick Ideas based on what the ai would do in my situation, so why should I be forced to avoid an alliance just because the ai would do so?
