Ways to lower world tension?

[sunnyboy310]

We have seen world tension rising step after step to 100% by annexions (of Sudetenland or Austria, for example), several DOWs by Germany and Japan and other events.

But will there be a way to lower the world tension afterwards, for example by releasing pupets, successful peace negotiations, ending a civil war or mabe cancelling former set up trade sanctions?

I think it ticks down over time, at least from what I can remember seeing in the www videos. But I am not sure. I have now left my first comment on this forum
Reading them for years.

idk how low it could really go though seeing how the game only lasts 12 years most people's memories you wouldn't think are that short, but ehh i did notice it drop in www vid so it looks like peaceful germany is a thing go pardox

I saw a negative 2 percent modifier on world tension because of a peace deal in the last WWW video.

I think I read somewhere on this forum that sending a guarantee also lowers world tension

A few things that can lower tension are peace deals, proclaiming guarantees, and time.

The point with world tension is that it will get to 100%. You can delay its rise by avoiding actions that increase WT but eventually it will hit 100%.

Yes but lowering it to buy yourself more time to build up in prep for it would be useful and I'd say part of a well thought out plan.

In multiplayer, pushing the 2nd Sino-Japan and the Italian-Albanian wars back is going to buy you a lot of time. I think they are 20% and 14% respectively.

The magical number for the axis atleast in an historical setup is 50%. That allows the US to start rearming, as mentioned in World War Wednesday Part 3. Other than that Johan wasnt able to guarantee Poland.

For the topic, it slowly ticks down after time, peace deals will lower it aswell, especially if you take less than initially planned (puppet vs annex for example), guaranteeing countries lowers it and i think thats basicly it. You certainly wont keep it down as the Axis of course, but rather delay it rising as much as you can. Managing it very well might lets you annex poland without the western allies being able to do anything about it.

In multiplayer the chance of WT relieably hitting 100% early on, especially shortly after release, in most games is very high.

well, they could under the right circumstances, but that would cost alot of political power of course.

Atleast from World War Wednesday we saw that if germany wanted to guarantee italy it would cost them 500 political power. To put that in perspective, germany only gets 2 base political power per day. You get some from some of the national focuses of course, but it is still very expensive.

true but if they guarantee'd them how much world tension would be lost because if you could keep it away from 50% till 40 that is the ideal situation i would think
