I want to try this: I will play Victoria 2 and only make major decisions based on what you guys say ITT, I will pick the advice at random, the game will start in 1861, first decision, which country should we play as?
grossgermaniums
>>386188246
Germany then, great
Play as Leaf
>>386188416
This, play Prussia, unite the germanic peoples, go full NAZI.
>>386188541
Here's another idea: Play Prussia, unite everything EXCEPT the germanic peoples. Deliberately go out of your way to attack the French, the Italians, the English, but leave the germanics alone.

>>386188416
Take a trip.
>>386188764
Second you know Austria is on its way to steamroll your ass.
>>386188764
Yep, definitely doing that one, war time?
>>386188923
He's gotta build up enough force by stealing land from france and poland to resist austria. Weakening his neighbors( but not the germanics) should cause interesting developments.
If he ends up in a war with austria, he should beat them down and humiliate them but not take any states.
>>386188942
If you think you can, knock the shit out of the french or the netherlands early on. Once france starts blobbing into africa, they'll have more resources to fight you with unless you can stop them. The netherlands are a safe bet, as they have a strong navy at start but don't have the same land as you do to start with. I can't remember the exact positions so you can either go into the netherlands or bavaria, although you'd gain less from bavaria.
>>386189415
Gonna rally all the german states and throw everything I have at France, wish me luck.
>>386189682
what justification do you have behind you? I don't think you can do Conquest until they've got one state left, which would take a while if you're going state to state.
I have decided to go to war with France, what Casus Belli should I use?
>>386189929
Humiliate. PRUSSIA STRONK
>>386189929
Cut down to size. if their military is weakened, revolts could splatter it. especially if they change gov't type, which would ensue further chaos.
the purpose of the fast war is to keep them from getting too strong later, so causing instability now is to your benefit
>>386190481
Yep, that one
>>386190209
I'll definitely do that one sometime later
>>386190821
Shame on you, you should have fucked Netherlands too.
As promised, I'm gonna mobilize and fuck up France, Prussia STRONK!
Shit just hit the fan, Russia joined in, but so have almost all the German states, how to proceed from here?
>>386191685
Ya dun goofed famiglia.Ally the UK, there's no other option.
>>386192056
Yeah, the war isn't going well, I'll have to do that
Update, RIP Prussia
Russia and France 100% occupied the country, game over.
>>386192648
You're a fucking disgrace.
>>386192648
Your a disgrace to the master race.
>>386192852
But I was following orders from this thread
>>386192986
Well, here's an idea. Thread is young, start again, play Canada, go full COMMIE.
>>386193338
i'm bumping for a commie canada, do it OP
>>386193338
this
bump for nigger broke into OP house and raped his mom and sister in front of him.
>>386193338
>play Canada, go full COMMIE.
But the point here is to play the game a-historically, right?
trumprun
>>386195731
>Canada of all countries in the game going full Nazi
>>386188162
Honesty, how do you convert populace to factory worker?
>>386195731
The town area I grew up in happened to be one of the first places to have communist sentiment in Canada. We elected the first communist mayor, town council, and school board in the 30's. Part of the reason is that it is originally a mine town area. Because of low wages and worker's right basically not being a thing at the time, it makes sense.
>>386192986
Play as any Belkan minor and restore rightful Belkan clay
