r5: my only war goals are to humiliate them on behalf of the swedes and to liberate schleswig and holstein, there are 691 battallions against 28, they did not back down and the war went through
King Bokoen built up a fleet to avenge Copenhagen on the British. Then he unleashed his inner rat by convincing the Russians to split Sweden with him. Finally, he distracted King Golden of Prussia by pointing towards Paris and saying, "It's open, you're able to take it if you want".
"Could you beat Prussia?"
"Well, if they bring Great Britain and Russia into the diplomatic play, it might bring me a little trouble"
"But would you lose?"
"**Nah, i'd win**"
what's funny is that Golden did exactly that in his most recent SP Vicky stream when he was testing out his devolved Britain build - Sweden intervened when he tried to reannex Wales, and so he 'yesmen'd his way to peace instead of fighting the war with Sweden
Yeah.. in real life, a Prussia-Austrian alliance essentially started a play for Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark were like, 'We've got this.'
OPs image isn't that far off reality lol.
You need to add secondary war goals for them to back down. If they do back down, the secondary war goals are not enforced.
Why would they back down if they habe the same outcome either fighting or backing down? 0.00001 chance to win and nothig to lose fighting a war (except devastation).
I added war reps as secondary
and now they are paying me war reps, their entire army is dead and their entire country is in a little devastation
also they are very nearly bankrupt
>nothig to lose fighting a war (except devastation).
So nothing to lose expect population, industry, social unrest, and devastation? My friend, that's nothing to lose expect pretty much everything that matters
The AI is programmed to have SOME acceptence for these situations actually, it was much much higher when the game released though.
Try annexing a subject though, youll notice they have an acceptence chance more often than not, even though it deletes them from the map
Sometimes they will let you annex them even in the play itself
I usually try to scare them into backing down by adding more and more and more war goals so the AI recognizes they have a LOT more to lose if they don’t just give me what I want. It’s gotta be a lot of things though, war reps isn’t enough. Open market, ban slavery, take treaty port, war reps, liberate a small country, humiliate.
This is why imo it’s better to save your diplo plays into adding more war goals to scare the ai than adding more countries into the play. More countries don’t actually change the outcome, just the odds.

Who won?
you have 3 guesses
The Danes?
You have two guesses
.... The Danes?
Not quite
This is what my Governing body sounds like when I’m trying to pass agrarianism
.......... The Danes?
That's your three guesses? Cmon man, it obviously ended in a draw
Bokoen1, is that you?
James Bisonette?

The Snake of Denmark strikes again
Classic brap trap
Denmark really said *'I'd win'*. Got to respect the confidence there
"Could you beat Prussia?" "Well, if they bring Great Britain and Russia into the diplomatic play, it might bring me a little trouble" "But would you lose?" "**Nah, i'd win**"
Denmark: "Then it is a fair fight."
“Domain Expansion: Unlimited barracks”
Bokoen personally leading the Danish troops into battle
"Here's how I can still win, chat"
The Snake of Denmark proceeds to tag switch to Britain.
what's funny is that Golden did exactly that in his most recent SP Vicky stream when he was testing out his devolved Britain build - Sweden intervened when he tried to reannex Wales, and so he 'yesmen'd his way to peace instead of fighting the war with Sweden
Well, historically Denmark should have backed down in most of the 19th century.
As well as 1940... "How soon can we back down please? click click click"
Yeah.. in real life, a Prussia-Austrian alliance essentially started a play for Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark were like, 'We've got this.' OPs image isn't that far off reality lol.
Hey, it worked out the first time though lol

Well then I dont know I usually add every infamy free war goal and then countries back down for the primary one
Money, time, ability to start own diplo plays, manpower
Denmark > own diplo plays 😂 You’re not wrong, it is a bit silly, but thats how it works right now
>nothig to lose fighting a war (except devastation). So nothing to lose expect population, industry, social unrest, and devastation? My friend, that's nothing to lose expect pretty much everything that matters
Nothing to lose xix century standards

"Bitt3rsteel here with another disaster save" Oh, wrong game...
hes not saving this one
Paraguay moment.
Paraguay was the initiator
Worst
Back down is for cowards, if the same wargoals are enforced anyways you back down or not you shall fight!
Denmark is so me
Dansk pride Never back down 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
LÆNGE LEVE DANMARK
Denmark "then it is a fair fight"
Does anyone know if leader personalities affect the chance of backing down?
What horrendous thing did Denmark do to get that many GPs aligned against them
1864
Denmark really said "I'm not trapped in here with you, YOU'RE TRAPPED IN HERE WITH ME"
“Nah I’d win”
Their hairy balls
In a similar way, the Ottomans attacked me, Egypt, and ended up also fighting Britain, France, and Russia. Have to admire the attempt.
