Hello forum,
I could use some advice on my Mexico game. Currently 1850 in the midst of the "2nd American invasion of Mexico." Basically, I lost the Texan War for Independence & then the U.S. Manifest Destiny decision fired and I have been in the throes of perpetual war ever since. Each time they take a core province, my prestige plummets, rinse, lather & repeat. Should I go all out and fight them at the expense of my fledgling economy? The U.S. has a very slight tech advantage & I have tried to play up my defensive positions but they simply outnumber me.
What should I do? Any tactical or strategic pointers? Part of me just wants to give them their damn cores, master the reigns of economic production, build up my military & patiently wait for the ACW to strike. In other words, I want war on my own terms. They declare the very first day the truce expires & it's getting somewhat tiresome. For future reference: is the diplomatic game such that high relations or an alliance with the U.S. precludes a DOW despite holding cores on my territory?
Any input appreciated.
