You just don't notice them. Like when the AI did not know how to explore on the El Dorado release.

These posts are forever stuck in my mind

I can't find any goddamned white people.

Has Common Sense had the post-launch wrinkles ironed out?

Yeah I don't mind estates but if there was a way to burn them all to the ground in exchange for forever forgoing all their bonuses I would probably take it most games

Yeah, expansion only.

The thing is, even favors or promising territory to your ally won't guarantee that they'll answer your call to arms. The AI can still tell you to gently caress off if they don't want to fight, and you need to invest the favors into trust to get any kind of reliability for that. Or at least in theory, because I've yet to see an alliance last long enough to gain a significant number of favors.

Any particular nations? I've been playing as the ottomans and not really noticed anything like that (never manually touched trust at all either) but maybe that's because I'm king poo poo

Yeah everyone takes it way too serious, then they do something strategically retarded because they guy they don't like attacked them, and then one guy gets really big and wails on people and everyone is upset

Some people treat it like a game of Diplomacy, other people treat it like DnD

I'm Persia trying to convert to Zoroastrianism, I'm not really sure how to do it though, the religious rebels don't seem to be able to convert provinces so they never advance towards winning (unless it's an event that fires after they've been occupied for awhile?)

Holy poo poo 2 years into my big break-out war against the Timurids, as Oman, and I realize I accidentally used the "Humiliate Rival" CB. FML.

I guess I just keep them seiged down until rebels start popping up everywhere? Ugh it took 30 years to build up favors with the Ottomans.

If I remember right, if you white peace out they don't lose any war exhaustion
