    • Why the IA keep starting war with me ?

      Is it normal that the IA keeps declaring war again and again and again everytime i approach is borders ?

      Like i'm trying to get my morale up so i take all my ennemies land to basically keep them to zero so i would not be consider to war by the
      game standards since ennemy with 0 territories are not taken into account (which is logic). But everytime i finish one country and i take last
      province near another country this another country controled by IA ALWAYS declare war on me...

      Is it normal ? How do i put back my morale up if i'm continuously dragged into endless wars

      Assuming that you aren't at war with the whole map, you should be able to (either quickly or gradually, there are 2 different ways) be able to push the AI back. Focus on their homecities. Bombarding and air/naval should be key, since the AI has none of these. Resources should not be a problem, since you keep conquering new cities.

    • If that is a problem...be very careful with missiles. They kill civilians also and that just wrecks your economy. I could understand a penalty using ballastic missiles but not cruise missiles. I thought they are precision since you target a unit. :?:

      Yes but i didn't know that ships does that much damage to morale

      I thought civilians was more of a nuke thing

      There are some civilian buildings in Ukraine that suspect the 'precision' part may be exaggerated, at least for Rooski rockets.Unless that was a deliberate strike?
      With Putin it may be fifty-fifty?

      no civ deaths add up if keep shelling cities and if do to much get the dissent / morale penalty. Even if look on morale of cties civ deaths a factor; if get to like ? 10 (assume like 10 mill??) then you have issues.

      Hi!

      As I think Buckeyechamp mentioned in another thread, this statement is not homophobic, but sexist.

      'Sexist' refers to statements pertaining to gender.

      'Homophobic' refers to statements pertaining to one's sexual preferences.

      I believe what @Anna Jija mean is that you are calling them 'women' when they don't identify as that.

      But to answer the question at hand, the AI (inactives as well as neutrals) will declare war on countries that have relatively low (< 40-45%) average morale. To raise this, try to build army bases in low-morale cities, be at war with as few nations as possible, or try relocating headquarters.

    • Back to the topic of this thread... If your focus is on morale, ships vs AI is one of the worst tools to use.

      Ships are designed to trash buildings - and kill people. If want to optimise morale, while killing the enemy, look at the unit ratio of damage done vs population casualties.

      Take one example: you are using frigates, and your enemy has infantry in the city you are attacking. The frigate lvl 1 does 2 damage to infantry, and kills 2 civilians (well, it's a bombarding unit). Actually, even less because the enemy inf has a 25% entrenchment bonus.

      If you go to the opposite side of the range, in the same scenario a helicopter does 7 military damage vs 1.5 civilian damage.

      Missiles are believed to be amongst the worst - but in reality, it still depends on what you are killing... if you need to do, say, 80 armor damage, a ballistic missile will do much less civilian damage than ships (or planes).
