More suggestions to prevent bordergore

[dodoaltac 55]

So recently lukazs said he will make war leaders divide up the land to avoid bordergore, which is all good, so here are more suggestions to add to that

1-dynamic borders, ai will put mountains, cultures (if u add them) rivers, marches, forts and ocean closeness into account, this will need to be done moderately though, as the ai won't pick corridor provinces, and unless 100% warscore will avoid annexing many cultures and might even release vassals instead, landlocked or limited access countries might choose sea access to valuable cities, but if it is not within range they will opt to make their borders by rivers, this applies to all countries

 

2-better ai war initiative, which is pretty much that AI will avoid initiating wars with countries they have a large border with, ex:austrian empire and bavaria because bavaria could attack from multiple directions, instead if a war does happen they will usually opt for vassalization during demands, also, ai nations, especially coalitions or alliances will have preset desired provinces, and if they can achieve enough warscore to demand their desired conditions they will opt immediately for that option unless they are winning by a landslide

3-lastly historical borders, Ai nations will always prefer a historically accurate border, example: austrian empire conquers all of balkans from ottomans in 1530 (after the ottomans took up to hungary) they will choose the historical borders of the austrian empire and release balkan nations as vassals, or like US winning Mexico war and opting for historical borders and vassalizing Mexico or changing its religion from Catholic to secular and making it a democracy, or maybe even add the option to temporarily occupy provinces and then have the option to either leave or forcefully annex which might cause war if nation recovered from previous one, this feature could actually serve as a very basic form of historical AI which in itself is the best way to completely end bordergore

 

Keep in mind all these features will add atleast 10 months to production, and remember that the game is still in alpha, it hasn't even hit beta phase, so the suggestions could be delayed to an update post alpha, maybe even after the beta release, in short, take a deep breath, and remember that you pretty much just started the game development phase

 

Take care lukash

Yeah something like this would work
