The event solved the problem, although no event appeared in the log I saw that they weren't at war anymore.
Just another question, when will Austria end their defensive pact with Russia? I'm afraid that might be a problem when I have to go to war with them.
Thank you again Roger.

It was interesting to see Austria declaring war against France and Piemont on the event "Piemont on war footing", although the results really frustrated me, Austria easily crushed Piemonte and France and destroyed all my hopes of seeing a transfer of Lombardia to Piemonte happening for the first time in my pon experience (at least in that event, because I really hope Italy will unify soon).
I formed Norddeutscher Bund without firing a shot and gained a short cb against Austria in the process, but I didn't use it as I was a little afraid of the 199 morale austrians (after beating the french), and mainly because I think it's too early and I still want to test Barot's change on the event of Nikolsburg (I think the minimun date is set to 1866).
I have no idea if I'm supposed to know of "any Garibaldi" appearing in the italian peninsula, but until now I havent heard anything about it (and as I know that it's supposed to happen before 1862 I'm really apprehensive).
So here it is, please tell me your opinion Loki, do you think it's ok until now? Or something is wrong here?

Kensai wrote:I have seen some documentaries on this matter. I think more precisely it should read "most external observers" expected Austria to win. In reality the Prussian army had already done many mentality and organization reforms (thanks to His genius, truly) and was better equipped with new technology rifles (Dreyse needle guns). The Prussians scored an unexpected victory for the French and the other German States, but I guess inside the Prussian General Staff they were quite confident they could pull it through. I don't believe Bismarck would have given his permission for this conflict if it wasn't a relatively sure bet.
The Austrian army in game should already be made of other nations. Perhaps by limiting the Austrian-borne units and forcing the player or AI to have the penalties of more foreign subfaction units we can achieve the goal, as you propose it, loki100!
PS. Seeing the numbers on the field screens in Q-Kee's AAR, is is almost obvious that both the player and the AI had been able to field MORE men than it was historically possible. I think we see a general pattern here, there is need for updates in the force pools (and their subfaction analogies, where appropriate) beyond the Imperialism allowances of the ruler(s). I had proposed three dates to do this, together with the structure quotas: 1850, 1880, 1910. More thought on this is obviously needed.

Would it be a good idea to change things now by installing the new pack?
...
From what I gather from loki's ROP AAR it's handled a bit like that there, Prussia has quality and Austria has quantity, no?
BTW, there is a Croatian corps that appeared in the list in my previous game, but could never be built - as soon as the prerequisites (it gave a numerical indicator) reached the level the tool tip asked for, it just said "cannot be built here". Would have been a nice corps, the only with arty, light inf and cav!

When I was sorting out the countries I forced Austria to release at the end of my PoN AAR, I found the building blocks for Czech, Croat etc formations, but I'm pretty sure the AI Austrian army never used them.
