yep Im pretty sure the GB/France war is scripted - it has happened in every GB game I played, so is the Austria v Poland in the first few turns.

In my game as Prussia, I have finally waded through the years of 'TOTAL WAR' every nation attack the player. It was a slow and plainful process playing through several annoying little battles every turn, and having to garrison almost every city. I have finally rid myself of the annoying minors, and am getting into steam roll, turn clicking part of game, where no one can threaten me, its 1750. Russia my long time ally declared war (again) this is a border share war trigger, it would go off every few years, they would come with a piecemeal army, then they would accept peace. Finally I got tired of it so I decided this time I would attack them - all of their citys were undefended


what a joke
