I had a feeling this would happen. Restart. We'll have to play the long game.

[Xeron]

I concur with the other posters, although.. I don't get the goddamn war mechanics. Played the game a bit, and every time I start a war the whole world goes aggro

[Sergarr]

By consensus, we have begun strategic nuclear research. This will take years to complete, so don't get your hopes up for a nuclear war anytime soon.

Only 3 years to get nukes? This is extremely silly.

[Thexor]

So, what's the trick to invading without the entire world getting grumpy? Can we get a casus belli to legitimize this acquisition?

[Fniff]

Perhaps bait a country into being the most hated country ever or just attack countries no-one likes? I can understand the mechanic in real-life politics, even if it is a little over exaggerated. No-one's happy about Putin's invasion of Crimea, but no-one's invaded him over it. Though Romania is definitely not as prestigious as Russia. Then again, neither is Moldova.

[Xeron]

Tested things out. Use elite spy cells for low level terrorism. Frame countries that are friendly or likely to help the other, because they get a diplomatic relation hit (pretty big one).
In this case it's Poland, Serbia and Montenegro, Croatia and Andorra.

[Thexor]

That's a good point. If it was a chain reaction that resulted in accidental WWIII, then breaking the first link in the chain would be a good idea.

[Fniff]

Or better yet, force them to invade you so that everyone declares war on them. In the metaphor, this is strangling them with the chain.

[Iituem]

Ah.  Next time, is there some sort of casus belli or diplomatic trickery that might let us get around that?

Spies and terrorism, lowering diplomatic relations so countries don't care if other countries are invaded. I don't know about any casus belli system, other than "nobody likes them" or "they shot first".

[EuchreJack]

Alternatively, you might see if nuclear weapons buy you some security.  Nobody fucks with countries that have nukes.

[Sheb]

But it's going to take YEARS before we have nukes.

Can't we just buy some on the black market?

Unfortunately, no. I wish. As of the last save I have, the nukes are in development though.

[GentlemanRaptor]

Okay. From the restore, we still have eight months to kill before our cells are ready. What should we do?

[Sheb]

Look if there is any country that everybody hate that we can invade. North Korea maybe? We might need to invest in a Aircraft Carrier first.
