The war wasn't originally Austria-Hungary vs Bohemia, it was some random OPM and The Hansa vs Bohemia and friends. Bohemia just jumped over to the Hansa's side and brought its buddies Austria and Hungary.

Dat triumvirate. Do the three of them run central Europe now?

[RedKing]

Good part is that eventually they should rip each other to pieces. If not in EU3, then just export it and let 'em do in Victoria 2.

[Rex_Nex]

Oh, this was extremely early in the game, and Austria-Bohemia-Hungary always are the rulers of central europe at the 1356 start date. I just reloaded, it kind of makes me grrrr when I go out of my way to help someone and they go against me a gameday later.

[Twiggie]

its an ai... why would you go out of your way to help them

[Rex_Nex]

...well I possibly was intending to vassalise one of bohemia's war targets

[cartmann]

MOTHERFUCKER. I decided to play a HRE OPM, Bremen, just to see how I could do. So after a few years of nothing, Hainaut's ruler gets excommunicated, and nows my chance to swipe in! They were only allied to Lorraine, so what's the worst that could happen? Not to mention my alliances with Lüneburg, The Hansa and Aachen so I hoped for a quick win.

Turns out, Lorraine are allied with Savoy, who are allied with Venice, so who allied with Austria, Poland, Holland, Sicily, The Palitanate, Corfu, Montenegro, Naxos, and Lithuania are involved due to their PU with Poland. Oh and then theres Switzerland.

Switzerland... oh you bastard. My first Glimmer of hope was once I'd annexed Holland and Hainaut, they offered peace, for all 38 of my golds. Hell yeah, I'll get 100 at the end of the year! (It's november) So I accept.

The next day, they declare fucking war on me again. This is the first time I've played this in a while due to my obsession with CKII, but god damnit I hate the AI even more now

EDIT: Aha! Austria, the leader of the war accepted peace for me conceding defeat. 3 new provinces and the Papal State loves me. Looks like I won this time bitches

[Micro102]

How can they declare war on you again? That would be breaking a truce.

[Tarran]

The AI broke truce to help the player in this AAR. So it's certainly not unknown for an AI to break truce.

[Rex_Nex]

I think it's bad when you only decide to get off when EU crashes. I've been playing since... dear god, 4 hours now? 5?

[Micro102]

The AI broke truce to help the player in this AAR. So it's certainly not unknown for an AI to break truce.

Haven't played in a while. Is breaking a truce just flat out impossible for a player, or is there a -5 stability penalty for it? And does the AI take that penalty?

I think it's bad when you only decide to get off when EU crashes. I've been playing since... dear god, 4 hours now? 5?

I know what you mean

[Rex_Nex]

-5 stab hit, AI takes it too.

[Digital Hellhound]

I don't think defensive CtAs drop stability despite what it says. Atleast I think that's what happened there - I only looked at the pretty pictures.

[Karlito]

That matches my observations. At the very least, the Emperor doesn't seem to take a stability hit when he breaks a truce to come after you when you start attacking German OPMs.

[Rex_Nex]

Oh, how good it feels to finally do this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(Brandenburg -> Prussia -> HRE. Now that I think of it, I should of invoked the Prussian Military Reforms before forming the HRE, but meh. No time to waste! I also could of formed Germany... I hope the HRE is better )


Game highlights:

Big Byzantium. I wonder if they can form the "Other" Roman Empire? I'll leave them alone.
Castille, Iberia, and Spain are all there at once!
Big Georgia.
Moscowy stretches to china and back but won't form Russia.
Swiss doing what they do best.
France has flat-lined.

By the way, for those who use Death and Taxes, 6.0 came out. I havent had the time to take advantage of all the new features, but supposedly Asia got a big revamp. Also, there's a new map now, and I like it. I detested the old D&T map graphics.
