Best economy ever

[unmerged(100019)]

The way to create a strong army and create a strong country is to create a strong economy. I played as Russia to 1927 and i give the savegame below.

I wonder; İf this is a best build economy under a laissez-faire government or it could been better. I had done better under socialist government which embraces full citizenship policies
Secondly, I enlarged my boundries pretty much and satellited UK and i got 0 badboy. (without cheats of course I think this have been very good game as a super power.
If you people send this thread some savegames to allow me to compare my strategies, i would be grateful.

Ps. I tought to declare war a uncivilized country without losing 100 prestige, that country must have a positive industry point and a negative prestige point. But some reason i encounter "you will lose 100 prestige" messages.
Second, How can i bring a socialist party into power. I managed that for 1 time and i cant remember right now. Further industrializing brings more liberal POPs. At some point craftmens must turn into socialist from liberal. But if you give people universal sauffrage in liberal revolution they stay liberal forever like the savegame above. I guess if you hold on until 1880 under monarchy with high taxes, they would gain counsciensness and they will become socialist. If a liberal party comes to power you cannot raise taxes above %50 and you would stuck forever. Anyone could explain "step by step socialist comes to power" tutorial

Industrialization in Europe with full citizenship is incredibly easy because most POPs won't even assimilate unless they number under 1000 and share the same religion.

Even in Russia as a state capitalist I was able to industrialize very well with just the accepted cultures. If I had a socialist government in power, than I figure I could easily have 10-20 factories in each state. :rofl: :wacko:



I only like LF if I'm playing as Transvaal or some small expansionist banana state that needs to import a lot of guns and booze to conquer the world (LF cuts the price in half)

-100 prestige is they key number, to only lose 1 prestige of your own when making a DoW. When a nation goes bankrupt, they take a 300 prestige point loss, which usually (especially considering those who even ever do go bankrupt) is enough to take them below the -100 threshold. Also a humiliation is -300 prestige. Use that to your advantage when ever possible. A simple humiliation at one time, can open the door for multiple gangbangs over the years & ultimately annexation. All at little/no expense to your precious prestige.

But yeah, always play as the REPO man. Any time some po' nation goes bankrupt... immediately show up and annex 'em. That's the price, for not paying the bills. Just make sure you check for alliances/guarantees beforehand, of course.
