Status: offline 		Posted this on the AGEOD forum as well....having a great time with the game, but curious how many forced war events there are???



Playing the full campaign as Austria. I have invaded Bavaria and am having a happy little war, carefully avoiding war with the French. Get to June 1805 and a scripted event has Austria join the 3rd coalition. I fully understand that this is historical, but I didn't want to be at war with France. So my question is this: How much freedom of action will I have playing the campaign? Will I be forced to join the historical coalitions at various times and/or be at forced peace at various times whether I want to or not?

I would understand if France declared war on me, but I would like to think that I can pick and choose when I want Austria to declare war or offer peace. Thanks.

The game is probably quite scripted - but I'm sure there's some freeplay too. E.g., if you had a defensive alliance with France, you may have been spared the war.

Just guessing though.

I would be interested in the amount of scripted events as well.

There is time for alliances to shift and for the Austrian / Prussian / Russian player to play the long game.
