France isn't beaten yet! A Revolutionary France AAR
A Revolutionary France AAR!
Hello! This is intented to be an informal AAR that won't have much stories but instead some "reports" on how the French are doing after Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. They'll try to accomplish what Napoleon I failed to do so - to bring freedom and liberty to all of the world.
I will reserve the first post for indexing, I hope you all would enjoy it!
Settings/rules:
1. no cheating/modification of any form
2. normal/normal
3. badboy? who cares about it.
4. colonial divisions must be without attachments
5. this would be based on vanilla revolutions
Remark 1: I have violated no. 1 in terms of that I made the uncivs civilized for a bit more challenge, yet I neville China to cede their land after they are utterly defeated. I'd think this is fair and I'd have accomplished the same without the console/modifications because China was civilized by my modification.
Remark 2: I remember building 3 native cavalry divisions with attachements, hope that is not game-breaking
Goals:
1. The no.1 great power- Accomplished
2. Unite Europe, destroy all monarchies/dictatorships! -Accomplished
3. Unite the World- Accomplished
Potential problems and their solutions:
1. French capitalists are notoriously lazy, we all know that they spent all their money on wines.
- It was hopeless at start, it ends up that I have to tax the rich for war as well as railroad construction. Later when economy improved the capitalists could build things again (in the 1880s)
2. Without capitalists, it is highly unlikely to have a powerful economy.
- Borrowing money to build rails made good money. As long as I had an interventionist party in power, at first the economy isn't really good but capturing factories remedy the situation a bit.
3. Wars are expensive
- No real solution apart from going into debt.
4. Early war with UK would be a bit tricky to handle, though the French army is unbeatable
- Not a real problem with the construction of a massive army.
5. Badboy harms tech trade, so we have to live without tradings.
- It ends up trading core provinces worked very well in getting techs, even more effective than you have no badboy.
6. Buying steamer convoys could be a bit tricky, if we assume that the cappis won't build a steamer.
- There were problems buying steamers, but no longer after we captured some steamer yards.
7. population growth is horribly slow, yet health care is difficult to maintain
- It is not a big problem, as manpower is never short after conquering that much land.
