Hi,

Playing as UK and got my first win.

I defeated the Axis and Coms. Now what do I do? I own half the world and the other quarter are allies and the final quarter are neutral.

Is that game over? Does the game actualy end? Should I save and go nuts?

Regards

Unless you would actually enjoy painting the rest of the world light red, start over.

If you are playing iron man mode and if the achievements matter to you, there may be some you could collect by continuing on.

Its my first round so was just trying everything out.

If I wanted to take on the rest of the world what would be the plan? Pull troops back to defendable position and go facist?

If I did that would the Allies exist or would i disband them?

*ps. thanks for the prompt reply

By the rest of the world I meant excluding your own allies. I am not actually a good person to give advice on any of this since I do not ever go for world conquest, I do not play games past the point where they stop being interesting, and I care zero for achievements.

The game is over when you decide that it is (win or lose). There's an official victory screen in 1948, but you can keep playing past that.

I'll often play to fight the conflict between the two factions that win the first war. (That is, say the Allies and Comintern defeat the Axis, as per history; you can then have the Cold War go hot and have the Allies and Comintern settle their remaining differences.) But sometimes that's not appealing to me, so I'll rest on my laurels from the first war.

A victory that wasn't sufficiently decisive might call for a follow-up war to either the main first or second wars.

Continuing past the second victory is mostly a matter of world conquest. When there's nothing left but your allies, you can disband your faction and start taking them on. That's easiest as fascist, so you can declare war more easily. I don't think I've ever actually done that, as once it's a foregone conclusion, it's not that entertaining to me just to roflstomp minors one at a time. But it's up to you.

Your best bet is to go fascist, most of your allies should leave your faction. Put your troops in places that suit your plans before you turn fascist as in take the most powerful of your allies out first, as always preparation is key to victory (mostly).
