Im playing China and chugging along, can probably 1v1 a great power, I ally with Britain in exchange for an obligation when France decides to attack me. But despite getting the fucking alliance, Britain isn't helping me, which really fucks me given that Russia piles in with France

What the fuck is the point of getting an alliance in exchange for an obligation if they can just IMMEDIATELY ignore it and leave you to die

Yeah trusting Britain in any context, even a video game, is kind of an own goal.

they need to stop making games so hyper realistic, my god

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Unrealistic part is Russia not collapsing at any point of the game

Common Britain alliance. All they ever do is sit on their island.

The game is early access, wait 5 years until the game is made. Tipical Paradox.

They don't do anything

Is there anywhere I can pirate this? I refuse to pay $50 for it, but I want to try to make a China map

England consulted their handy strategy chart before deciding if they should help you us-foreign-policy

Alliances and defensive pacts in Vicky 3 are completely worthless. The worst part is that it doesn't even notify you when they inevitably break it six months after signing, so you spend several years thinking you're good only to get dogpiled and realize you've got no allies.

Yeah what the fuck i thought i was doing something wrong
