P.S. EPIC MOD! Really love this mod, been playing it on and off, made Civ4 Col what it needed to be and more! Thank you so much for revisiting this with updated features and bugfixes!
Having said that, I encountered an issue, and have some questions:
Per the title, in my last game, the Russia Czar/Monarch asked me to join his war against the Russian Colonies' war of independence. After I agreed to join him, the DoW against the Russian Colonies caused me to have a "You declared war on us -3" attitude malus with the Russian Monarch... yet it also gave me a "You agreed to help us +1" and a "This military struggle brings us closer together +2" all at the same time...
I don't think it makes any sense at all that the player should get the "You declared war on us" penalty with the Russian Monarch when we joined the war on his side to help him (this isn't Civ6 warmonger diplomacy
). I know if I DoW on the Russian Colonies in general, I would get the penalty, but it shouldn't be in this case, right?
Along the same thread of thought, some questions:
1) Is there any other way in-game to boost relation with foreign monarch, other than through specific Founding Fathers? I know we can use the Pope to boost our relation with other Colonies and our King. It seems like war ruins relationship with foreign monarchs, but there is no option to raise relations with them at all (other than helping them fight their rebellious colonies, which they also treat as a war against themselves, so no positive relationship gain there whatsoever lol).
2) When other powers offer their military support to the player during the War of Independence, is it based on relationship with the Colonies, their Monarchs, a combination of both, or just purely random? I tested having positive/neutral relations with all colonies except Russia, and it seems I received a random number of support, like randomly from 1-5 nations (reloading before declaring independence randomizes whose support I get, it seems). E.G. sometimes Sweden (neutral) and Spain (Pleased) supported me, other times it was just France (Pleased), or just the Danish (neutral), and once I got 5 other nations to offer support, etc...seemed totally random except I don't think I ever got the Russians (Annoyed) to offer support.
3) Do foreign powers offer their military support during the WOI only once in the beginning, or is there anything the player can do to gain the support of another nation later during the WOI? For example, if I have good relations with Spain but she did not offer her support when I declared independence, is there any way to gain it later? Or is save-scumming and getting a good combo of support at the beginning of the WOI the only way to manipulate support?
4) What triggers the "100 turns to win" countdown? Is it as soon as any colony declares independence?
