Prussia and 3rd Coalition

[Drake001]

Have been attending the forums but haven't played in month or so.

Is Prussia still getting into the action early? Is the starting relationship score between france and Prussia improved as it should be...to at least 0? Can I offer Hannover to Prussia to force them into neutrality? As Britain, Malta to Russia to get them into a coalition?

Well, yes Prussia is entering early still.

In our multi-player game, Austria and Russia made peace with France, leaving France one-on-one with Prussia. In fact, Austria had to make peace twice in three turns because of events that caused them to be at war again.

Personally, unless an "alternative history mod" was chosen, I think major powers at war should not be allowed to make peace treaties until either the war score reaches a certain level or a specified amount of time passes.

For the purposes of multi-player game play, treaties of Tilsit and Pressburg should be opened up so either can happen. This removes a scripted AUS first followed by PRU. But since France has option of going for one or both, both AUS and PRU should be allowed to DOW France. France has the juice to take everyone on if needed. It's a challenge, but doable.

If England invades France in force, that triggers all sorts of goodies for France, including money, additional RGD cards and possibilities for new, free corp. So in my MOD, if England chooses to invade France (and lets say that Prussian and Austrian DOW France), the French Invasion events will trigger on invasions of 100 elements or more (basically a corp) rather than the current setting of 250 elements. This should discourage England from doing a gang up until fully ready and willing to risk the consequences.

In single player, the AI should be adjusted such that England doesn't do anything silly early in the war.
