Protective trades

Admittedly the game falls short of an aspect as economic war or trade friction now.

I am pleasant if developer dig into these themes.

If anything, I'd love to see counties with certain doctrines getting a Diplomatic and Popularity bonus towards each other. Such as Axis and Pan-Asian never Embargo or WarDec each other, and same for Allied and Commy. Also the two "factions" getting negative relations to each other and embargo and WarDec each other sooner.

And have that relationship random each game.. so you never know which way things will be leaning this round.

it sounds like a horrible idea when you're playing Alberta (I believe they have ComIntern doctrine) and not being allowed to declare war on allies. Heck if you can't declare on your own doctrine, N.American will be a shattered blanket of unimportant states forever; and there are more regions like that.

People should be free to declare and expand anywhere; this is a very bad idea.

And nowhere did I say that you CAN'T declare war on anyone... that was for the AI's... My suggestion was that the AI's, they favour some doctrines and dislike others.

Yeah, this could be interesting... not as a player restriction, but as a way to make AI's (including inactives) play a more active role.
