Dios, Unión, Libertad! El Salvador Coop AAR

Thank you all for your cooperation and I welcome you all to the start of this Coop AAR.

-tylerhink, basically a Coop AAR is a game of Victoria where the major roles are taken up by different people. Leaders use the forum to enact their powers etc. Its hard to explain, try taking a quick glimpse at some of the other Coop AARs around. Also, try seeing what role you would like.

As a general note for you all, you will all know that El Salvador is not the biggest nation to play as, but I have reached as far as 2nd place overall. The key is to create a small, one-division army and invade neighbouring nations, none of whom have armies or reserves. Thus we can establish a relativley stable base in central america from which to expand our influence. Huge prestige is also gained in the beginning stages of the game, up to 125, because of various good peace treaties from surrendering powers.

Thank you all,
Manuel José Arce

Ok, no-one else seems to be interested in our little El Salvador Coop AAR. Oh well, 4 people is enough to run a country.

Firstly, mad general, I'd like you to draw up plans for the invasion of our neighbours Guatemala. They own provinces 1706, 1709, 1710, 1711; we only own province 1712. See map.

Our population (17% literacy) consists of 7000 capitalists, 7000 clergymen and 57000 labourers. The labourers work in a level 1 coffee plantation making 1.24 profit a day. I suggest splitting the labouring part of the population into three - then using one of those three in order to gain manpower (we start with no soldiers, so no manpower). Then purchasing 5.00 small arms will be neccesary, in order to make a one-division army.

For now, our economy is making +£0.0 a day, with £0.1 coming from the poor taxes (all taxes are 33.3%) and £0.1 on education spending (all spendings are at 50%). Maintainence is on full but we have nothing to maintain, and tarrifs are set to 0.

Waiting for the cowardly Guatemalans to surrender giving us a 100 prestige gain and all of their territory (minus their capital, Guatemala, province 1711).

After this war we will no doubt earn a substantial amount of prestige; we will then sell province 1706 to Mexico if such an action is profitable, as it has a mainly mexican population and will give us nothing but riots.

For further expansion, it would be rewarding to look into the other ex-USCA nations who have no army (Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica). If funds are sufficient, we must improve our relations with the United Kindom (who currently occupy Belize, province 1707) in order to avoid a war with them.

I must make it clear that from this point onwards, new members are still welcome. We have simply started the game.

I was thinking for the boring stuff i might as well do it, but if theres an invasion etc. then ill send u the savegame, and u can send me teh next savegame when the war is over.

Its not actually on multiplayer, i was just suggesting that i could send you the savegame if anything specifically millitaristic happens etc.
