Hi people, just got the game, played it for at least 20 hours the first 2 days as Turkey (what the hell are those birds being so noisy about? ohhh it's 5:30 in the morning, oh well, just one more refinery and I want that colony to grow into a city, just five more minutes....).

One thing that I'm still kinda confused about is the badboy value, which I know has been added after the manual was released to prevent powermongering.

Does badboy decreade over time ? If yes, how long does it take for countries to cool down and not hate you anymore?

Does badboy have a negative effect on relations with other countries in a way that your relation will deteriorate over time? pretty much everybody hates my guts after forcefully annexing moldavia, diplomatically annexing Oman (next up in 5 years: The Hedjaz), driving hard into Venice (gotta have that Shipyard in Ragusa) force annexing The Knights and Inheriting Astrakhan, and taken one or two provinces from Poland-Lit, Mameluks and Persia (yes I've been a BAD boy) all this in about 80 years.

I've noticed that even though I have royal marriages with pretty much everybody, my relations seems to deteriorate all the time, is this because of badboy ?

Also, the weirdest thing that I've found in the game is that when I look at diplomacy "Relations of Turkey" and the colors show you who hates you and who should be your next vassal, the colour in my home country is dark red/purple, just like the countries that hate me, why is this? I think it used to be nice and green.

Any help would be very appreciated!
 
Your relations will deteriorate over time because of a high badboy value. If you behave after about 30 years I believe it will start getting better.

Also, if you border countries of different religions and you are not tolerant to their religion then the relationship could deteriorate fast.

Yes, you are beeing despised by your own nation =)

Can't really say why :confused:

For the rest I suggest my FAQ and

The ruler of ur country is a very complex person who goes in denial everytime he gets a success which inevitable turns into self hatred. Then due to his schizophrenic relations with oneself collapsing, he can go berserk.
 
Aha, so I can expect the temporary insanity random event anytime soon ?

BTW, why was I moved ?
 
LOL!, BiB. Marcus, it was a joke... but the temporary instanity event will definetly come :)

And Marcus: because your post belongs to FAQ section: you ask a question about how game works and we here answer it.

Easier anyway when it's here: not so many posts in here and you can find it more easily.
And we can also find it easier and answer your questions.
 
Allrighty, to the FAQ my friends ! *jump into batmobile* tadadadadadadadam (sing this real fast with a spinning bat figure in front of your eyes for full effect).
