I was being a manipulative asshole? When? I wasn't trying to find out how committed you were to Germany. If you had actually cooperated with Germany against England, things would have been very different this game. On May 14 2014 16:25 Xatalos wrote: JieXian: I severely miscalculated with Italy. On the first day I thought we (me/Italy) were allies, while in truth he was allied with Russia, and suggested that he should move to Piedmont and threaten you from there, and apparently he used that to make you distrust me. Later on I realized that Italy's diplomacy and actions had been clearly anti-German, but it was pretty much too late at that point. He had already managed to turn you against me and committed to helping Russia instead. I should have seen it coming earlier and decided my diplomatic aims differently. Oh well. I actually wasn't clearly anti-German. My discussions with France were merely to get a feel for the northern diplomacy situation. Germany can be extremely flexible first year, so I was just using the Piedmont talk as a discussion point for France. Its true that by sowing distrust it could compromise your alliance, but honestly there isn't anything France can do with it directly (no possible stabs as with the southern countries). I discussed it with France more to build trust with him than to actually undermine you. I didn't really have anti-German feelings until the failed Sealion. Had France gone through with supporting you to NTH, I would still have considered joining you against France if France committed too many troops to the north. That didn't happen though, so I just went along with France and decided you were too weak to be worth keeping as an ally. I was open to allying with you until your failed Sealion. Like I said in my previous post, I really think that failing the Sealion puts you way behind. Unlike doing your standard non-committal moves, committing to a Sealion is extremely high risk, high reward play for Germany. Yes you still have 2 builds, but your builds become extremely awkward for Russia/France and leave you in a horrible position to go on England. That is what makes your negotiating position more difficult. Failing to get into NTH kills off your ability to go after England, which forces everyone else to recalculate their diplomatic strategy. | ||
