Im playing China and chugging along, can probably 1v1 a great power, I ally with Britain in exchange for an obligation when France decides to attack me. But despite getting the fucking alliance, Britain isn't helping me, which really fucks me given that Russia piles in with France
What the fuck is the point of getting an alliance in exchange for an obligation if they can just IMMEDIATELY ignore it and leave you to die
Alliances and defensive pacts in Vicky 3 are completely worthless. The worst part is that it doesn't even notify you when they inevitably break it six months after signing, so you spend several years thinking you're good only to get dogpiled and realize you've got no allies.
Yeah what the fuck i thought i was doing something wrong
