Not one country in all of freaking World War 1 went to war because of its treaty obligations. Treaty obligations was just a convenient excuse to go to war and demand concessions, which were what countries were actually after.
Austria-Hungary went to war not because the Archduke got killed (that was just the excuse), but rather because they sought Balkan superiority.
Russia went to war to gain more influence in the Balkans (especially in Turkey and the Constantinople strait), and Serbia was just an excuse.
Germany declared war because the Kaiser was an aggressive maniac (September Programme, etc). Its pact with Austria-Hungary was just an excuse.
France went to war in order to recover territory it lost in 1871. Its alliance with Russia was just an excuse.
Britain went to war in order to contain Germany and cut their military down to size. You think they actually cared about Belgium?
ok so all of these country's used excuses to go to war, which were the treaty's they had signed. The treaty was an excuse to go to war.
i mean of course they wanted land/power that is as natural to empires as eating is to humanity but the fact that its natural means nothing unless you can get it and the treaty's were the way in which the empires got to war. and the nation that started it was Austria.
also a country would have to go to war because of its treaty's or it would look like an easy target an irrelevant power,other countries wouldn't be so willing to sign a defensive pact with that country because there would be no point.
The only countries that didn't go to war because of its treaty was Italy, Greece got out of its treaty because it stated that the Serbs and Greeks only had to back each other up when attacked by another Balkan nation.
and no i dont think the brits would care about Belgium, i cant remember right now but i'm pretty sure there was an economic/raw material reason for them getting involved.
you also have to remember that it was always assumed that the French would help the russians and vice versa. so that treaty was something widely assumed to be in stone.
the germans had a whole strategy built up around that fact, the schleiffan plan.
Serbia was attacked by Bulgaria so Greece was bound by treaty to help, but as a Greek I can say our king was retarded back then so Greece stayed "neutral"

Aetius fixed the map already, plus it is way better than before, this is old topic, Russia even buffed, Italy better (not stronger) etc. I forgot about this until you necroed it, can't hide Aetius reply shocked me, he's extremely talented mapmaker, but oh boy he is not friendly or approachable to players. 'If you don't like it then don't play it' mentality is so out of place, as i just tried to discuss the map to make it better, not worse.
Well i guess it doesn't matter now, we're all inside our stronghold clans, playing our own games, secluded from community which at this point is non-existent, and hostile to anyone trying to play with us. Multiplayer gaming lost its meaning.

If a game is around long enough, people will find the most efficient way to play it and start playing it like robots
