Thought I'd try a different thread to ask the devs.
Is it going to be possible for Prussia, Austria, Sweden (if they are in), Russia, etc to pursue an independent policy and willingly ally with France during the course of the game (and join that side or coalition)? What about neutrality?
And then secondarily, will it be possible (allowed in gameplay) for these countries to fulfill some of their objectives that were on the table or in mind at the time, such as Prussia's desire to form a North German Confederation including Hannover? Others might include Austrian influence over southern German states and Italian states after HRE falls, or regaining Silesia, or Swedish control of Norway, or even the reformation of Poland-Lithuania?
