I am curious exactly how a switch from Right of Way into Trade Embargo vs a nation works when they are already moving troops through neutral territory.
F.ex France gives Right of Way to Germany allowing german units to pass through it's territory. Germany moves a stack of infantry units into a french province where there is french Artillery units stationed. France changes diplomacy stance and switches to Trade Embargo vs Germany. Do the artillery units start firing on the german units since they are on french territory and within range? ..or perhaps this example is not possible since you cant switch in diplomacy once foreign troops are on your territory with Right of Way enabled?
Thanx

Good question, and honestly I don't know...
But if it's similar to when your coalition leader kicks you out of the group and removes right of way at the same time, Your troops stop moving. And if they are sitting in a province dot, then you go to war with them.

Its a common trick pulled by players to give people right of way, wait for the other player to enter their provinces, and then suddenly take right of way away, making the other player automatically declare war. Its a way to start a war, but make it look the other person.

In this example, the Germans would βsneak attackβ once they reached the next province center. Any artillery would then start bombarding at that time.

Thanx alot for the replies to my question.
It's enjoyable to figure out details such as these that are mentioned. Very useful info aswell when you want to interact through diplomacy and avoid falling into traps set by sneaky opponents.
