really? i didnt have poland DoW on me til turn 10-ish, and austria never did. the only country that didn't DoW on me as a result of me DoWing on their ally, is sweden. and the marathas.

once i Dowed on Austria, a coalition of europeans attacked me: Bavaria, Westphalia, Saxony, and Courland. once i kicked their asses, the only nation with enough balls to attack me was France, and then Marathas.
