what strategy game has the most helpful allies in it?
>>
>>2110650
I was going to say total war but they either betray you or force you into new wars in every TW game
>>
>>2110650
Probably EU4. They will very rarely break their alliance with you, certainly won't backstab you like Total war, and when called in a war, will fight to their last man to win it.

I always feel bad when making alliances in paradox games because the AI dudes often go all-in for me but nigga I'm not gonna commute sudoku just because you want a worthless county on another side of the continent

Well, they did create Israel.

Its so rare to get a battle where your ally backs you up. And when you do you are incentivised to make your ally bleed as much as they can so you get your moneys worth for the alliance you bartered for
>>
>>2110657
Yeah diplo in that series sucks or is too gamey (like raiding a town a million times to improve relations with everyone at war w them).
That said I love saving western rome as the huns. River battles with their infantry and my missle troops are very fun. Wish i had saved a screenshot of the battle result
>>
>>2110657
I swear I have social anxiety because of rome total war AI
>ask ally for trade rights
>no and we cancel our alliance fuck you
i constantly feel like its gonna happen irl

Play N'kari.
Dominate a large faction.
Watch it completely decimate all your enemies.

Unless their AI breaks and they decided to park all of their armies around their capital for no reason

>accept or we will attack
>do not attack
ok well I don't plan on attacking them so sure
>immediately after closing the dialogue box they lay siege to my closest town
>>
>>2129596
This has happened to me for small factions, but it hasn't happened when I grab a really large +20 settlement one.

>declare war on OPM A
>OPM A calls their ally OPM B
>OPM B calls their ally OPM C
>OPM C calls their allies Austria, France, England, Spain
>now facing half the world because you wanted to bully your neighbour
