I'ts 178-something. Sweden rules the entire Baltic coast and most of northerns Germany. Quite naturally she's seen as one of the 'bad boys' of Europe. This fact makes the Swedish king wary of any wars and just tries to rule peacefully. However since Europe is such a violent place he is forced into the occasional war with the result that everything and everyony declares war on him. Since the Swedish army is both the best equipped and best trained, even Russia can be fended of for a while. What is really annoying is the fact that when peace is finally made the peace treaties only seem to be valid for about a month, then the country that signed the treaty declares war again!

I thought that a peace treaty ment that you could'nt declare war for a long time, at least it seems to work like when I want to declare war...

Another annoyng diplomatic thingi: First France rejects a 'white peace' and then something lika 45s later they offer me to provinces that I control but does not want...
 
thats the downside of being a 'badboy'. noone honors peace with you. This happened to me when I was playing as Russia. I have conquered all of Sweden and most of Poland-Lithuania. Suddenly, Brandenburg declared war on me. I did not want figting them, so I offered a white peace. They declined. I then annexed all of Brandenburg just to eliminate the problem. Right after that Saxony (by itself) declared war on me. Again, I offere tem peace. They accept, but thm declare war on me in under a year. So I annexed them in a couple of months. I though I could rest in peace now. No! Both Hansa and Hessen declared war on me. So I annexed them too. I know bordered France ad Spain. This led to a huge European war with everyone fighting everybody.
 
I did'nt think you could violate a peace treaty like that. When I try to do just that I only get a message that I can't declare war until so and so. Is it a bug or is the computer cheating?
 
I think the enforced peace occurs only if one side made a surrender (ie terms) if a white peace occurred then I do not think that there is any restrictions.

However there is likely a penalty (in terms of stablility). Thsi is what really hurts the AI and its economies. If it is continously compelled, by the badboy value, to declare war , losing stability due to peace treaties and or lack of CoW or CB, then its army would suck, its economy goes in the shitter, and bankrupcy follows and poor tech development. is it any wonder then that the human player finds the AI a cakewalk sometimes.

I personally would like to see teh badboy values reduced in damage and more rapid decline over time. Secondly I would like to see badboy be modified by distance between the two powers. say multiplied by 'x' where x is the distance between the two powers (ie most proximal territories)

Hence France should care less if Russia annexes kazan, but Poland will get antsy. Same if spain totals the Inca.. Poland could not care less.

Zizka has a point. Badboy value times the distance between protagonists.

I'm all for that. Maybe in patch 1.09?

Only makes sense. Why should Bohemia care if Oman is slowly taking control of mid-east?
