Diplomatic Level (result): from 10 to 23
11– Persia becomes “pro-Entente” and furnishes 3 volunteer corps: (1) xxx
3 1 -4-3 et (2) xxx cav 2-2-6, plus 2 RP per turn (for the Persians). These
corps are integrated into an Entente Army. They have 2 RP per turn (not
saved from one turn to another). Persia is not officially at war. These corps
are only placed at Erevan (they do not arrive if enemy held). This only
occurs one time. Russia receives 5 EP of Economic Aid per Interphase.
Turkey immediately moves 1 level up towards Central Powers.
12–13 Persia is “Neutral” and only authorizes 2 Entente corps to enter its
territory. Attacks are authorized in its border regions (by both sides).
14–19 Persia suffers unrest. It is “Neutral”. Units from both sides may freely
enter and attack each other.
20–21 Persia is “Neutral” and authorizes 2 Central Powers corps to have access
to its territory. Attacks are authorized in its border regions (by both sides).
22+ Only if Turkey is at war on the side of Central Powers (otherwise the
same result as 20–21). Persia becomes “pro-Central Powers”. Military aid:
the same result as “11”, but favoring Central Powers. These corps are
placed at Baghdad (otherwise they do not arrive). This only occurs one
time. Turkey receives 5 EP of Economic Aid per Interphase.
Notes: Any eliminated Persian unit is permanently destroyed.
Portugal
● Starts at Level 20
● Pro-Entente
Modifiers to Status changes:
-1 if Great Britain is at war
-1 Germany orders Restricted Submarine Warfare (-2 if All-Out)
-1 if a German colony in Africa is occupied by the Entente
Diplomatic Level (result): from 11 to 23
11 Portugal declares war on the Central Powers.
12–14 Portugal becomes “pro-Entente” and authorizes the military
passage through its African colonies.
15–20 Portugal is “pro-Entente” and continues its wait-and-see policy.
21–23 Portugal becomes “Neutral” and continues its wait-and-see policy.
Notes:
● Once at war, the Portuguese (European) corps is automatically
integrated into any British Army, and uses British RP during combat.
● if it is destroyed, the Portuguese unit may be rebuilt during the next
Interphase (delay 3 turns).
Romania
● Variable Level (from 0 to +7)
● Pro- Depending on the Initial Level
Romania is a member of the Triplice (Central Powers Empire) in August
1914. King Carol 1st, although he prefers to respect the alliance, must
count on opposition from his Prime Minister Bratianu, who favors the
Entente.
Modifiers to Status changes:
+/-1 if Greece or Bulgaria or Turkey is in the war on the side of the:
+1 Entente/-1 Central Powers (max. +1/-1 net)
-1 if Russia controls Presmzyl (in Austrian Galicia)
-1 if the Entente recognizes Transylvania as a war goal for
Romania (See Note)*** 1915+
-2 if Vienna or Budapest is occupied by Russia
+/-1 successful Grand Offensive on the East Front, +1 Central
Powers/-1 Entente, the most recent (1915+)
+1 if the differential between “objective” cities of Central Powers –
Entente is ≥ 5 (the same -1 in reverse for Entente) (only major
powers Objective cities, with a star in the interior)
+2 if Paris is occupied by the Central Powers
Diplomatic Level (result): from -5 to 12
-5 Romania declares war on the Central Powers. Turkey, Greece and
Bulgaria immediately move 2 levels up towards Central Powers.
-4 0 Romania becomes “pro-Entente” and authorizes supply, commerce
and rail passage for the Entente through its territory. No attack is
authorized. Germany no longer receives any Romanian agricultural aid.
Romania grants Economic Aid to Russia and sends it 5 EP per Economic
Phase.
1–6 Romania is “Neutral” and continues its wait-and-see policy, without
effect. It furnishes 1 agricultural point to Germany.
7–8 Romania becomes “pro-Central Powers”. Military accord: the same
result as “-4-0” above, but favoring the Central Powers.
9–11 same result as 7-8. Romania supplies Economic Aid to Germany and
sends it 5 EP per Economic Phase.
12 Romania declares war on the Entente. Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria
immediately move 2 levels down towards Entente.
Notes:
● Waiting Game: Romania shows itself to be prudent and limits the
efficiency of AMB in 1914 to +2 or -2 max., even if the differential of
AMB is greater (bonus “Pro-” included). This no longer applies in 1915.
● Transylvania: if the Entente recognizes Transylvania for Romania, it
receives a diplomatic bonus. In exchange, Entente will have more
difficulty negotiating a separate peace later with Austria-Hungary.
