Preamble:
A. It's my first AAR
B. with the attempt to reduce the number of nations to 3 by 1936
C. and it's written in a rather clinical style of documentation
D. in a rather poor english, or not that good
E. By the time, the number of sceenshots and explainations will decrease, in reason of repeat, decreasing ambition to document it
F. All save games will be compacted with 7-zip
G. All screenshots are in .jpg and have a quality of 85 - to reduce the size of the images
H. If I should write something in french , then it is translated with google translate form german into french.
I. I try to update it every day at 2300-0100.

Misc. There is also place for analyzing the data and if you want I can provide you with the savegames.

Goal:
- conquer as much as possible
- reduce number of countries to a minimum
- no white places in the world
- ennact all social & political reforms

Conquest-Image plan until 1936
worldin1936.jpg
Settings
It's Victoria 2 1.3. without any mods.
no use of colony->state exploits.
Always try to get state capitalism/lim.citizenship/pluralism party into power ( in this priority)
normal difficulty

Master Plan : Conquest
The limiting factor are my diplomatic points. That is the reason I let life russia and Ottoman empire, they have many provinces. Also UK has many provinces, but also some satellites. So I will remove UK from the map.

There are many german and italian minors. I will have to hope, that at least Italy and NGF forms. If it should be able without wasting a diplomat I will give NGF alsace-lorraine to let germany form. This will reduce the amount of diplomats by 4 overall. However I will help prussia and an italian minor - with killing austria and with the lower number of GP one italian minor should be able to form italy.

The both ottoman satellites should also form rumania, if one of them become GP.
I also hope that russia and OE conquer the one or other province from egypt to central asia.

Try to take the colonize earlier than the others.

Mon premier jour que le premier homme en France

- My first day as the first man in France

International diplomacy, part I.
frdiplofferatbegin.jpg

On my first day I've gotten offers from portugal and russia to form an alliance.
I will go far over the badboy limit and won't have any allies later.
What isn't useful to me, can't help other.
However I accept.
Like in EU3 only junior partner and vassals are likely to join you through the end. I never rely on allies and not honoring a call to weapons give only a small hit in prestige and reduction of the relation.

Research
What to research first? France has a cultural tech school and cultural techs are at begin rather strong. France also some more basic techs - especially practical steam engine. Army professionalism is the strongest military tech, even when I need to have a strong military - I decide for some cultural techs.

So first tech, I chose, is ideological thougts. +1 NF and the +pluralsim inventions should help me to generate research points rather fast.

Politics
France is a HM Goverment and so I can chose my party. I like to be able to control my economy - so state capitalism and so I take "Legitimiste" into power.It's a reactionary party. They have state capitalism, but also residency and moralism, which will lead to some emigration. A short view in the political parties of france tells me that socialistic parties have state capitalism, lim. Citizenship and not-moralism as issues. But they will come later.

NF
France has only 0,99% clergymen. To maximize RP at begin I will encourage clergymen. So I chose to encourage clergymen in bretagne,normandie, because they are populated with many poor pops.

Budget
At begin I will build rather much and so I set every slider to 100%, no matter if taxes,tariffs or spendings.

Factories
I go to the production window and let me show every province, even those with none. ( Show empty states ).
At first I always build a quick and dirty industry in every state. So the craftsmen only migrate, demote for one year and not for two. Also I will have a large need of cement and glass factories later. And also some liquer and other factories for military. But the first money is fast invested and so I take a loan of 2660 at the end of the first day.

Military
I stop auto-creation/assign of leaders and mobilize my troops. And then building some units - likely in 3 inf,2cav, 2art pattern. After I build in every france-home province commerc-raider or steamers.

International diplomacy, part II
I decide to go to war with UK, not because it is hard, but because it is rather easy.
UK isn't able to transport troops from their colonies to UK and the mobilization size of UK is rather low. Also the earlier I take state from the british Isles, the less they can turn colonies into states. They are also allied with belgium and probably will join them.
(With the diplomatic mapview you can see this very good) Also I only get one time the -jingoism hit.

So I dow UK and Belgium and call to arms. UK - Southwest England and Belgium for belgian wallonie.

And I start to influence China - this should be for the first years my only country in sphere.

Troop Moving
I move my troops to the belgian border and to northern france. My navies I move to the channel.

Not because it's hard, but because it is easy ;)

More tomorrow.

.. also they are not unstopable later, even not when playing with portugal.
 
Les premières années de la guerre

- The first years of the war
2.1.1836-19.4.1838

International diplomacy
2.1.1836

Surprise, russia has honored both call to arms requests, while portugal hasn't

13.1.1836

prussia dow denmark before austria – that's good.
And I will accept the alliance proposal from papal states.
After I call them to arms and surprise reloaded – they also join both wars.

20.1.1836
Naval
I see a big naval british stack at the british east coast, I move one fleet into my port and wait until the my second navy come.

Financial
2.2.1836
my money increase to about 18k and I also take another 16k loan– I invest in further factories – giving states with one factory a second one, military purpose.

Belgian Front
2.2.1836
my troops arrived at the front. The belgian have a 21k stack at bruges ( what I can see because of the fog of war ). I begin to send troops everywhere else to occupy all of belgium with 6k armies.

I want to encircle their army completely.

In the next days they move their from bruges and another 30k army appears in brussels. I change my army movement a little bit and get some more troops to defend at Chaleroi, and I encircle them completely at 1.3.1836

I also start to retreat with some of the damaged armies somewhere else.

Naval
in the meanwhile I haven't looked at my second navy, they were intercepted by the brits and about the halve of the navy were destroyed. Some weeks later my first transporters are ready.

Battle of Chaleroi
4.5.1836
it wasn't the best – not had always that luck with rolling, but in one battle I destroyed their complete army, because they were encircled.
Financial
4.5.1836
I have about 65k , I build now in everywhere state a third factory for the pops- furniture,paper,clother, luxury goods and so on. Repay then all of my loans and lower the middle class taxes to 25% and tariffs to 50% - balanced on that day.

military
And start to build more briagades. My soldiers provide now 101 brigades ( so up by about 40 within 5 months ), and recruit an admiral – to do better in the next naval combat, and I get one with +2 def – excellent. In the next days I move my first build steam transporters to my main navy – may the one or other gets sink, but I don't care this.

Landing in Plymouth
28.6.1836
the fast steam transporter were too fast for the british navy and all survived – having now a capacity to transport 10 brigades a month , the british isles will be mine within some month. And it seems they don't try to catch the navy with 58 ships. May they hunt russian or papal fleets, I don't know.

Peace in Belgium
14.7.1836

5 ½ month after the begin of the occupation of belgium – they surrender. With all these small armies I got them really fast, this can only be done if you outnumber them. They got about 20 brigades and I used for this campaign about 50 brigades. After I take some loans again to build 5 new factories and upgrade the 3 old factories.
Meanwhile in Salisbury the first land battle for britain began.

Battles in Britain
4.8.1836

That was rather fast. I expected that they send more troops to salisbury. However I want +25 warscore through battles before I kill their armies entirely. More troops are on it's way to the island.

20.8.1836
fruk2battle.jpg

That is what I mean. More troops on both sides.

24.8.1836
I retreat from oxford, bad rolling.

23.11.1836
won in Plymouth
27.11.1836
won in Salisbury II

+9 warscore , nice.
More troops are landing.

15.12.1836
won second battle in Oxford.

It seems they can't field more armies in the british isles and they also don't intercept my navy with 15 transporters already. This means more troops ;), and it's time to add Midlands and it is putting me over the badboy limit. Badboy,badboy – what you gonna do, when I come for you ;). Maybe bad charma but my recruited general has -2 att.

1.3.1837
winning many small battles, I have landed rather much troops at the isles

I'm already at +14 through battles.

military
1.3.1837
have give order to build new ships.

factories
1.3.1837
only at paris there are some unemployed craftsmen left – haven't thought about building a cement factory first there. But looks fine. When the better factories are built , I will readjust some workforce. I also reduced rich tax to 25% and tariffs to 35%.

NF
1.3.1837
Bretagne,Normandie: clergymen increased by about 0,5% – overall clergymen = 1,11%

diplomacy
1.3.1837
Having 8 diplomats means I have to use it. Until I don't know how much war score I get against UK – I won't add another wargoal. I'm not going to conquer something else than the isles at the first war. So I decide to conquer algeria.

War against Algeria
1.3.1837
I haven't moved any army away there. So I will handle this war like the one against belgium. But with only 1 brigade to occupy the provinces.

UK & Tunis
1.7.1837
I have occupied now 11% warscore of UK and again 8 diplomats – now conquer tunis.

Tech
15.8.1837
Research ideological thoughts. Now it's the decision between army professionalism,positivsm and medicine.
Better tactics at begin is awesome, but I'm cultural school what makes positivsm rather cheap and positivsm is also powerful. But powerful later, now I wanna have better troops. So army pofessionalism should my second tech. With the 3rd NF I promote clergymen in Rhone.

Inventions
1.9.1837
got 2 * +5 pluralsim inventions.

diplomacy & budget
annexed algeria – 6 months after dow.
Prussia got slesvig and jylland,
Spain has gone for conquering taza from morocco, if they have got it – I can conquer morocco in one turn, if they would have gone for moroccian west morocco it would even better.
Reduced poor tax to 95% to balance. Have about 90 k in the treasury.

15.10.1837
Mexico annexed Texas
OE annexed Tripoli.
I guess I have the first time bought enough ressource for all my ships and my budget went to +1k a day. I decide to build more ships.

31.10.1837
have 8.8 diplomats means I have to dow something – I take East Switzerland, they are not allied with any nation.

20.11.1837
Switzerland have troops – I had only 8 there. Retreat with army.

28.12.1837
Annex Tunis.

3.1.1838
Adding munster.
Add china into sphere.

14.2.1838
China offers alliance, I accept.
Dow korea and dai nam for conquest ( china's job )

1.3.1838
Call China to arms

4.4.1838
UK offers peace

If you are question, why I wait until they offer me peace – well, if I accept their offer I don't waste a diplomat. Most diplomatic actions need one diplomat, that's the reason , with one exception – when I have 100% warscore – then a peace deal cost no diplomat.
UK 39% war exhaustion,
France 1% war exhaustion.

reorganization
4.4.1838
Reopen factories in the 3 english states.
I produce 12,1 cement and I export 9 of them → close cement factories and build new factories where needed.
Demobilize troops
Sending all ships to brest for reorganisation – I have 97, 20 I lost in the war – so I already build 60 new ships.
Moving troops from british province to mine.
19.4.1838
reopen cement factories, cement production is now about 3.

I have now +700 budget – reduce poor tax to 67%

120 nations left, at begin there are 125.
 
Les guerres et les conquêtes ibériques en Extrême-Orient

- Iberian wars and conquests in the Far East

Emigration of conquered states
20.8.1838

With the time my home provinces and later those with gold growth faster.
Military & War
20.8.1838
Spain made white peace with morocco – sadly.
My production of small arms isn't that high and I've only recruited about 10 brigades since 1836.
I decide to mobilize again and move troops to spain border
And dow Spain for Catalonia.
I raise poor tax to 90%,
I make two navies – one with 10 transporter and 10 commerce raider and send it to my african troops, the other one with all ships I send to transport troops to Vigo ( northwest spain )

1.11.1838
I move my small navy with 10 brigades to the french colony in India (shift-click move along the coast ).
I invade La Coruna with 9 brigades
I move my troops into spain.

but others than in belgium,tunis or algier I move first my troops to the spain border provinces. I know they have more troops – 58. And there will be some fights in the moutains I will have to be little bit more flexible.
I also have 9,0 diplomats – I will have to do something with them till the end of the month.

25.11.1838
First small battles won and I add vasconia-aragon. Those will cost together when occupied something about 60 warscore, I expect that I get something about 80 warscore.

28.12.1838

won some more battles and now I will hunt the 3 spanish armies.

25.1.1839
Dow luang Prabang for conquest, it gives more badboy and prestige, and call china to the arms.

Research Idealism, I have spared 3,6k of the 5,6k research points.
RP gain increased to 14,12.
Overall clergymen is 1,34% and clergymen in the NF between 2,2% and 3%, will have to switch NF in normandie in some month. My goal is something about 3,5% province clergymen.
I have now 88 brigades, so in the last 18 Months I was able to build some brigades.
I have 145 ships at the moment, I don't order new ships for the moment. Waiting till all have been build and reorganize navies.
I still produce too less arnament goods, but I'm able to export 55 liquer. No unemployed craftsmen
, no need to build new factories for the moment.

Through conquers I have now 12,65 M population ( nearly 50% increase within 4 y ), 63,6% french, 59% avg literacy.
35,3% liberal in the UH, political reforms 40%, social reforms 25% , have more than 1 militancy.
Outlaw slavery 6,5%, Weighted universal voting 4,5%. No revolts in sight, so I will not change their something in the next months, Liberals in the UH should raise to higher lvls.

Hm, Russia has gone to war with persia for tabriz and already have 15 warscore.
USA made a white peace with mexico

My war exhaustion is now at 2,72.
Spain is #8, and will probably raise trough turbo-industrialization, but no other GP surprise.
There are 119 nations left.

The world-map :

maybe made too less screenshots in '39.
More Tomorrow.
 
The alliance system fails often rather horrible, or better said - war where they don't have an easy landbridge. And as you mention, if another mention should join war, where I don't expect it - I normally don't care. Because they can't move troops in numbers big enough to hurt me. The + Battles warscore should then allow some month later a white peace. If the enemy brigades number should be bigger, I would handle it somehow, but even then it's hardly ever an issue. Fight where you can win, don't fight where a victory is too hard or even a loss could be possible. And I guess I play more than just overly aggresive. I have 100 years * 12 month/y * 0,5 dipl/month ( avg., at begin I have 0,4 ) = 600 diplomats * 12 badboy ( avg badboy I guess per diplomat, demand colonies from uncivs is cheaper, but I will use conquer and not protectorate cb ) = 7,200 infamy. - infamy reduction over time :( , avg. with 0,05 ( there is peace between wars ) -> = - 60 infamy --> 7140 infamy +- 10%.
 
A feature I would like is having an AI GP going off on a conquest spree and a coalition to stop them, never happens.

You can't really have a decent world war.

Also AI nations really don't know what is best for them or can understand that that advancing French creep across Africa does not mean they are friends to be loved.....
 
maybe I'm 100 years too early and the wrong game ?
... politics and diplomacy is surely a good topic for an addon, when you see at the forum.

43,1% UH , more than 2 avg militancy ( mainly through conquered states ), I'm now able to enact a politcal reform. 8,5% want vote fanchise and 7,5% outlaw slavery. I decide to enact weighted universal voting – to reduce con and mil greatly and still get more liberals in the UH, avg. Con dropped by more than 3. I have 1,41 % clergymen.

I have as many brigades as the next 5 civilized nations together. No nation will dow me, and other nations shouldn't honor their allies against me, except those in spheres or satellites. For the case of the case I have 60 brigades in Britain. Austria can only occupy east switzerland, where I have 8 brigades. I have truce with UK until 4.8.1843. So ?

Time to reorganize armies,navies over the whole world. I expect that NGF will never dow me, and so I'm going for a war against NGF and also Japan,Netherlands. I also could enact a political reform, however I don't want any of them at the moment. It's my first game I play with low con, it's nice to see clergymen raising, even without NF, but it has the price of only 88% pluralsim by 1854.
There are 66 nations left.

Worldmap 13.1.1854


1854/55 ~ 18 month peace
Colony
13.1.1854
Turn Senegal into a state. With so many colonies, I can turn them only very very slowly, another reason to go for some states from civs. This also lead to only 3,8% craftsmen overall.

A screenshot of my pops.


17.1.1854
I can also Colonize Alaska.
Sadly UK don't use their NF to colonize Australia..

Budget
17.1.1854
I can lower poor taxes to 40% (-20%).

industrial
24.1.1854
I lack liquer, regular cloth and have even 12 cement too less. In my empire now everywhere railroad lvl 2 are in progress, and I tech Interchangeable parts. This should negate the cement shortage, also there are some conquered provinces, where cement factories are build and will be filled with unemployed craftsmen. Upgrade,build factories towards liquer,regular cloth.

Budget
6.3.1854
Can lower tariffs to 0% ( -35% ) and poor tax to 33% ( -7%).

Naval
6.3.1854
Can now abandon the ships from the start, and still have 371 Ships, after a full reorganisation I will give new ships in order.

Revolts
17.7.1854
Large Reactionary revolt in UK. I have in sum no 1M rebel faction member, but in States, I get from last peace, are also revolting ( UK revolters ). I hate revolters on islands.... however my revolts on islands vanish fast without battles and other move to the british provinces.

Military Reorganisation
17.5.1854
Whenever I see a “red” soldier , I will abandon them, and reorganise them again in 15k armies.

Diplomacy
10.9.1854
Russia Calls me against OE, I decline – only disadvantages for me, this time.

Naval Organization
13.9.1854
finished naval reorganisation and I have now 9 * ( 20 Transporter / 10 Commerce Raider ) Fleets, and 14 Transporters + 77 Commerce Raiders in excess. ( First time I know how much Navies I have and how much I build )
I'm going to build further 116 Transporters and 43 Commerce Raider and should have then 10 transporters and 10 Commerce Raiders, besides a 70 commerce Raider only fleet and 15 standard navies, in Reserve. I Build 10/6 transporters in province for a easier grouping of navies. I look at the naval construction at the outliner – cause there is no counter at the naval construction view in provinces and control the correct number in sum in the military windows ( ships under construction : 159 ).

Small Census
1.1.1855
Liberal only get 50,5% ( -3,4%)
Lower Poor Tax to 25% ( -8% ) and still make surplus.



The majority of my population get luxury needs.

Diplomacy
17.5.1855
NGF dow Austria for Slovakia

Brigades Overwiev
25.8.1855
Code:
Region			Brigades
Canada		        ~ 60
South America 	        30 ( north ) + 22 ( south )
South Africa		20
Arabia			24
Korea			        73
Oceania		        24 ( australia ) + 7 ( new Zealand )
German Border	        ~ 165		
India			    ~ 100
Troops over the whole world, troops for the whole world.

And most important I have 8,5 Diplomats.

Colony & Clergymen
25.8.1855
Turn Ivory Cost into state. Con is really double edged. High Con increases colonial migration, but also emigration. High Con decrease clergymen promotion, but increase general promotion. I have now 2,5% clergymen in my empire, but only 91% pluralism. Rebel Faction member dropped to 0,5M in sum. I'm going to enact free press, shortly before I lose the option therefor.

Industrial control
25.8.1855
Now I export 5 cement again, a small overproduction, as expected.
Everything is fine.

It's time for the next big conquers.

UK is so doomed.
Vive L'France!

But what are you going to about China though?
Or the Indian satellites?
 
sry for no update yesterday, today another one will follow

At the moment I decrese opinions of the other GP at china. I guess something about 1875-85 I will stop decreasing opinion, except against russia. They shall not get the province in the northeast per decision. And then I will eat china in 4 wars. until 1900 or so.
And about India, I've startet same days ago a thread at the forum about pan-nationalist rebels, but no answer that really makes me satisfied. There are since 2,3 years pan-national india rebels doing nothing .. However I will eat the indian minors, which don't share the same province with an other indian unciv.

The next years will be about reducing UK to the british isles to prevent any colonization of them in africa, maybe focus on conquest of the one or other coast to prevent any colonization. I'm also playing with the thought of getting russian provinces around the pacific, but I would have to calc before, how much diplomats I really need for the whole work ...
But now I will test my GPU with a furmark test...

Any wishes, which topic I should describe more/better/less ?

Revolution & Counterrevolution : 20k ( +1 NF )
Analytic philosophy : 16 k ( + RP )

Social science : 20 k ( + education, women suffrage decision )
sum : 81,5k
RP gain : ~ 35 a day
days to spare : ~ 2,3k days = ~ 6,4y,
So I'm not goint to research anything until 1870.
So in about ~ 1960 days I spared 87,4 k RP, mainly through the discrimination at school – events.
So effective ~ 45 RP gain, 30% more RP through events.

Politics
1.1.1870
At begin I mentioned, that I will switch to socialists later. Haven't looked therefor in the last year. However I get possibilites into power. State capitalism / lim. Cit / secularized and pacifism don't hurt me, because I don't want more soldiers and have since ages only 49% military spending.
Socialists have already 13,5% in the UH.

No need to change something about the system.

my population increased about 50%
Country Population

craftmen increased about 55%. Even through the colonial conquest from britain, my craftsmen promoted little bit faster and in the last years I have turned many provinces into states.
my Population in Detail
fr1870popdetail.jpg

and my french population dropped to 20,8%(-1,2%), the majority are still other with 22,9%(-1,5%).
I guess my japanese population haven't changed that much by assimiliation/emigration and dropped from 8,8% to 6,4%, so about 35% were through conquests and about 15% through pop growth
And my Factories by Employees
fr1870factories.jpg

Vlaandern is still the state with the most workforce and increased something about 25%.

The world in 11.3.1870


The next years will be about the colonization-race and to prevent the other nations from it. UK isn't any threat to me and conquered their colonial holdings just in time.

War
25.2.1873
OH NO!
The warscore cost of some provinces increased while at war with piemont. At begin of the war the cost in sum would have been exactly 100, now it's 108. I lose one diplomat....

I make peace with piemont for savoie and sardagena and don't take piemont provence … merde ( in french, everything sounds nice language .. ) , the only word I have therefor.

However, maybe you have seen that I often add wargoals just before peace. It's for that case. And nations will accept peace even for 102,103 warscore when been occupied completely. Also I haven't thought, that the war would take so long, but the lvl 3 forts need their time. You can also forecast the warscore for a province, when it is fully occupied then the costs are halved. Also expect some rounding errors.

I also can't enact any reform, the right punishment for being stupid...

Doubled points again, and with pacifistic policy in peace, my war score is really low.
National Comparison II
fr1880ncomp.jpg


population went up by about 40%.
Country Population
fr1880country.jpg

my craftsmen tripled.

my Population in Detail
fr1880pops.jpg

My French population increased to 27,1% (+6,3%), the majority are still other with 28,3%(+5,4%).
I guess my Bengali population didn't change that much, than other. They dropped from 9,6% to 7,9%., so something about the 20% came through growth and 20% through conquests/colonies.
My military spending is since ages at 49% and my soldier number increased to 10% … also I haven't build new Brigades since ages. Still have the ~ 900 Brigades, also since ages.
And my Factories by Employees
fr1880factories.jpg

Bombay,Madras are often in it. In Potosi there is a huge glass factory and Vlaandern is still the best european state in terms of factories.
I also don't know whats wrong with my oil. No provinces of mine changed to oil production..
I have rather high overproduction of some goods which I will readjust with electric gear.
The World in 1.1.1880
v2mapfra1880111.jpg


I guess no other nation will be able to colonize something in africa/oceania. In some years I will have colonized every border colony in the world.
The next years will be about the north america, europe, uncivs - the whole world ;)
There are 49 Nations left, this will also change.

---
More any time - Industrial & other increases time for micro extremely .. so maybe I switch from one day to an update every 2 days.
