Glad to be along.
Rule #4. I assume you will supplement the existing British contingent with native militia as required? What happens if you get severely spanked and lose your forces?

With you're house-rules that's not possible - you've to annex civilized territory with no British cores to do that.5. [Ultra-insane goal] -- Restore the United States to the British Empire. (Not very likely, but hey, who knows?)

With Webster-Ashburton you're better of waiting till you get caught you're first time. Till ~1860 the US is extremly low on usable soldier pops (basically, they fight a major early war, while having one of the lowest per-province populations of the entire world at that time - since you need at least 1k soldiers in a province to do anything useful with them, they're pretty limited and early mobilisation cannot counter it as well). If you're going to start a reconquest, do it in the first twenty years (if you're really insane, send Mexico a alliance offer and start justifying a Acquire State CB on Day One. Releasing unimportant OPMs and firing WA at the right time enables you to take three Yankee states during the first war (take New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania).
I was hoping you would make a tutorial for HOD.
already read the other two and it helped me enormous, although i still kind of suck but that is most likely due to sheer incompetence
so I'm in
Those pesky untrustworthy Dutch! Does the Russian involvement mean that we'll see the armies of India crawling all over Russian Asia? Thanks for explaining the units and showing me how I've been going horribly wrong with my army composition so far.
In order for artillery to be in the back row, you need at least an equal number of infantry in the army, right? Or do cavalry count as well?
Are you sure this Netherlands thing is entirely proper? It seems like something that would happen with an unciv to me, but the Dutch are hardly an unciv...
Thanks for going into such detail about HoD's unit changes. Some of it (like the changes to artillery) I knew but a lot of it I didn't.
Oh, and whatever did the poor Netherlands do to you? Yes, yes they put your diplomatic mission under siege, but apart from that, what did they ever do to you? :angry:
Very good. This is like sitting in class. Have fun with the Netherlands.

It happened in Belgium once when I was playing as the French, I think its a HoD change.
The only requirements for the decision are that a country is a Secondary Power and has a certain level of prestige.
All these new HoD features look incredible. Paradox did a good job on this one. You explained all the features so well, not that I expected anything less.
Bring in Prussia and let them serve as fodder for the Russian hordes. Then you can occupy the Netherlands and return to your isle just in time for some afternoon tea.
I can't help but notice that going on at the same time is the "War of the Pacific". Sounds a bit too grand for some South American countries quarrelling, especially when the other two South American wars don't sound as exciting. I also have a feeling Bolivia won't be around for long.
Ah, must be a HOD change. I merely asked because both the picture and the text are very reminiscent of uncivs in general and China in particular, where this sort of thing happened historically (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_the_International_Legations). But still, the event makes little sense to me, at least the way the text describes it. Why would the 'ruling elites' in the Netherlands evict the British ambassador, and why would the have their own troops? Feudalism was long behind Europe at that point, and while the aristocracy might be officers, if they told the Army to lay siege to the British embassy on their own initiative without orders, they would simply be court-martialed and that would be the end of it.
I remember this event happening in vanilla Vicky II, but only with uncivs. Perhaps they simply changed the requirements, but not the text or the picture...

aim for alaska. if you need more warscore theres always the gamey way of letting a blockade go lose. trapping them on an island then getting warscore from it .
