Hmmmm... that may be the problem. What's your ethics rating? I assume it's very low, since surgical-strikes really ruin ethics.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Our ethics rating is best described as "Treacherous". That's the lowest in the game. Only China and a few other nations have this. No WONDER why our popularity is dropping.

Okay. So, note that the US is supposed to be a bastion of freedom and goodness as I say these things:

We're treacherous.
We're a police state.
We attack people a LOT, but don't go to actual war.

...

We're going to need to do A LOT of nice actions. Be nice to Canada and other allies. NOW.

Yeah, that has a high chance of failing.

What about a cultural exchange? That has a higher chance.

Canada just strengthened economic ties with us. I think I should re-download Dosbox, it's not taking any screenshots.

[FAKEEDIT] It's probably my keyboard fucking up due to low battery power.



HIP HIP HURRAH FOR THE USSR!



Why does it lower ambition?

Because it increases Ethic and Peace. Ambition is pretty much the opposite of that.

I think it's desire to increase power.

Not sure what effects it has on the human country, but for AIs it seems like ambitious ones tend to... well... be more ambitious.

Ambition reflects a desire to expand and dominate. If a nation has really high ambition, like Iraq does at the beginning of the game, they're gearing up for war. With the human player, it might affect how much the public approves of entering war.

By the way, AoD, can we get a screenshot of the Ambition Filter, and any others you think are important?

Other filters that would be good for us:

Alliances.
Ideologies.
Nuclear levels.
