I'm not quite done, but all I have to do now is just manage taxes and the occasional factory mishap or rebellion. I will note that this is a modified game; I changed population growth slightly [starts at 25 instead of 30 life rating, but I cut the bonus per point in half], and I made Liberals half-support social reforms, and Socialists half-support political reforms.
The mainland of the Central Republic. Cuba there is still a colony since I can't get any centrals over there, but the Lesser Antilles and the West Indies both turned into states without the need for bureaucratic intervention; for once, bureaucrats migrated over naturally, or just promoted naturally.
My core seven states are from Yucatan down to Antioquia, their population ranges from 831k in Guatemala to 281k in Costa Rica; they're about 60-70% craftsmen, and I'm working on clerks for the rest of the game since Capitalist/Bureaucrat promotion is so slow.
My sphere is all of South America, the North American minors, Japan, and the occasional country here and there.
What is Arizona called? Can't tell from the first pic.
And that AI Germany has one hell of a colonial empire.




That would be Desert I believe, the Mormon state. I released them from Mexico because Free People CBs are quick to make, cheap, and effective if you don't want the state in question.
And yeah, Germany is crazy. They're the only reason I rushed for eastern Africa there; which turned out to be an amazing idea, because 150-odd of those brigades are from that area.
hover over there mil score i rekon it is dreadnoghts
Ignored: Nuril, videonfan, Pandi
I loaded as them and found out they have nearly 600 dreadnoughts...
Also found it funny the AI spent all their 7 national foci in Encourage Railroads even though they have been a communist dictatorship for a while and therefore I think their capitalists are not really in a position to invest in anything.
Didn't post my map as felt that would be boring since I only expanded into Thailand/Brunei etc and the Horn of Africa. Also pressed F12 but the map screenshot doesn't seem to be anywhere, I bet it's Steam screwing something up.
AI will fallback to railroads if it can't find anything else to do with NFs.

I have my game installed in a folder outside program files on windows 7 - thinking the screenies should obviously save inside the "Screenshots" subfolder, but they're not there. Any ideas? I've tried looking in the appdata directory as well, and all permissions are active on the game folder. No idea where they're sitting.
Think they are placed in your Documents\Paradox Interactive\Victoria II\Screenshots folder now...

Civilized in 1904, with 4+ rp, got ultimately crappy techs since was in Russian SoI. World economy was total shit, only thing worth producing was Luxury Clothes and Fuel, everything else was going bankrupt right away with negative tarrifs and almost full tech trees for input and output technology.
Then declared war on China to be released as puppet, beat them and their sub-states badly, they lost around 300 brigades total. As I usually don't like conquering land as Korea, I stopped at humiliate and release myself. During the war became Great Power, lasted for few years and managed to sphere Japan, but strangely enough Sardinia-Piedmont decided to go on dreadnought spam. Can you imagine country with such small economy putting out over 30 Dreadnoughts? Well they did and I lost GP. Near the game end I was 2-3 months from becoming GP, as Sweden was getting their asses handed in war with -60% war-score against France, Prussia, USA and some others, so they'd definitely fall under me, + my Dreadnought spam has just begun, with over 50 in production since once again for hell knows what reason I didn't discover the Dreadnought tech for over 15 years(I had invention, just not the small tech)..but sadly run out of time. ;<
I liked interface and new stuff, although economy balance is terrible after 1880s, I definitely enjoyed the fact that game runs much faster end-game than before.
ps. Was played on very hard difficulty, but does that even make a difference ? I didn't notice any compared to "normal".
Quite a fun game. It took me a while to unite Italy, only did it thanks to redshirts. It was really hard taking my cores from Austria-Hungary, It was needed me+USA+Ottomans+Russians to bring them dow, however we kicked the crap out of them so much that their Military score was reduced to 8 and never got back up, being literally in a constant state of civil war since them.
I tried to become Communist but only had a communist revolution in the last 10 years. Started to ignore infamy and converted, Wallachia, Moldavia, Krakow, Montenegro,Ottomans, Bohemia and Slovakia into Communist nation. Switzerland and Sweden became communists without my help and were my allies.
And yes Denmark and Sweden have random territories in central asia. And Flanders formed naturally

Poland is getting in the way of your map name.
