//of course, those events derive from historic analysis, where Germany was the dominant (military) power - those draw reactions, and those reactions are rproduced there
//with Pangermanism, panslavism, and this one, don't think all those will be detrimental to ANY germany and aim to isolate her (just wait the Alvensleben modifications)
// but this one is one of the best known, best documented, and most spectacular diplomatic moves - therefore I begin by it - it's the simplest work that is[/color]
[color="#40E0D0"]// historicity, well, I don't stick to history just because it "just happened that way" but cause it could (and did), I try to replicate the causal logic, and if logic was good enough for British cabinet, Bismarck, or the Czar
//then it is good enough for me and I try to incorporate it, as my goal is to place the player into the real "boots" of the 19th century rulers, not a fictious world
//where nobility accept passively to see her privileges disappear, and nation nationalist, industrials, bankers, and military spheres are not biased (and even blinded), do not DEMAND territories, colonies, or discrimination
//or don't have the political influence and muscle to actually get it ! this is the design philosophy which underlies the offered/proposed choices - analysis is TOTALLY open to discussion
// from A to Z, both in terms of historicity (no taboos) and terms of gaameplay[/color]

[color="#40E0D0"]//I simplified conditions for AI -requirements are ONLY balance (Germany superior army is a threat for balance and must be deterred)

// required conditions : German land threat to france, and absence of German+Russian naval threat
// (other hypothesis of threat discarded as Hun-likely
) historically German Policy (agressivity and threatening shipbuilding) played a great role
//of course, France must not be a threat for Belgium bigger threat to victory Balance than germany but this is very likely
//and other peace conditions speak by themselves - yes indeed It's LESS demanding conditions than history but still a logical British choice a (good) player will do and AI should
// I discarded aleas driving to artificial bad relations - snowball effect is to counter, such things improve relations dynamically
// and so for simplicity sake let aside colonial situation checks too (as no war resulted) - a "normal" French who did not
//indulge into sweeping the Board and annexing Belgium, and lost "normally" a war against Prussia
//(or let Prussia unite by diplomatic weird choice) will have British support
//as Germany should be therefore more powerful/of a threat
//is part of balancing game - a smaller Prussia not united and with a small army won't provoke this - big fleet France
//or Russia will prevent it (for the latter, rationale is too big fleet Russia is THE British concern, not Germany)[/color]
