I applied for statehood... NOT. This decision makes Texas part of USA right?

It does... I can just imagine how cool it would be to be able to play as an American state, having to deal with the feds and other states, developing your economy and etc.
 
Would be more or less the same as playing as a satellite, I think

Yes. But it should be a bit harder, since part of your income should go to the federal government. And you territory wouldn't have a color of it's own on the political map.
 
First game, I have ever brought to 1936.

1.3. and my try to do my best game ever. Well, it's good, but it could be better in some terms.

But one color shows very much.

Anyway I guess it's practically impossible to do a total world conquest.
I killed completely france, OE, reduced UK and Russia to some provinces. I think with 10 y more, I may could reduce the nations on the world to 3 or 4. But the whole world .. no way.
 
Since they have 0 Prestige i'd imagine you've either repeatedly defeated them in wars or they've been occupied a lot. This is an issue in 1.3. RGO's can only hire 50 people / day, and occupying a province instantly sacks all workers. This means Farmers/Labourers wind up unemployed in huge numbers, who then end up demoting to Craftsmen who have no such hiring limit. This means that nations that are repeatedly occupied or defeated tend to suffer from turbo-industrialisation.

His Civil War hsa already happened. He used it to nab some states from the Confederacy. :p

I only DoW'd them once to get poland for nicer borders. They haven't really been at war otherwise either, so no occupations.

This is madness...GERMAN STYLE
 
i wonder if they were kicking people into giant pits of doom? ;)

.....

Because of increased emmigration over the time - the american nations had a good growth.
But the new mechanic of unemployed rgo's, after conquering also lead to rather high population of the "home provinces" in Berlin about 1M , so 4M people live. Because when I turned colonies ( from uncivs) to states or conquered states many moved to other provinces. Some chinese provinces had something about -60k in migration , giving every other provinces 20-50 all the time and some chinese provinces were at the end rather low populated. Also precious Metal, which can't be seen that good in the province income are magnets of industrialization, singapure, transvaal and those.

and to the 10 y I mentioned, I would be able to reduce it to less nations, is that what I guess could be possible in a pretty close to perfect game.
 
oh,

may I should add " this is germany " in my signature to answer the madness ;)
 
Libera got to secondary power status! Even if it was because they were one of the few left standing :D

Soon they should be changing "World Market" to "German Market" :D
 
So the difficulty lies in finding your territory? :p

Well, it would be playing an American state :p

But in all seriousness, no, that's why that part was in another sentence.
 
Only a single page of nations left in the world?

I guess it should be "rather easy" to reduce it to 4 by 1936, simply be conquering smaller nations and let 3 other big nations alive. For example : Russia & UK are really big nations, where you need very many diplomats. If you let them life germany,austria,OE,france,USA is more a question of flavor.

The main bottleneck is the lack of diplomatic points, if you would have more diplomats the next would be in some way jingoism. But you don't need any jingoism for dow and also don't get a jingo decrease.
So 4 nations would be possible by 1936, but I like this non-existing france,oe and this very small russia,uk.
