I just realized that the thing that happened in South America weren't the same that historically did (The Pacific War was Chile vs. Peru and Bolivia, not Argentina, Chile and Peru vs. Bolivia) (Brazil led an alliance with Argentina and Uruguay against Paraguay, not Arg vs. Brazil+PAr+Uruguay)...
Did this happened because your decisions affected the continent?
Are unhistorical decisions also happening in Europe??

Sorry for bothering

b.

The US are allied with the UK and the UK is in war with the CSA. So, unhistorical alliances are happening everywhere, not only in South America.

just read the last part
what do you think would happend if you attack both countries (us and csa). Would they keep on fighting each other for Washington, giving you enough time to take over the west and demand huge compensations or...
would they sign a peace treaty and take the battle to Mexico?

just wondering if course

I suppose there would be 3 different wars at the same time then:

Mexico x USA
Mexico x CSA
USA x CSA

I don't think Aprof will do that though.

Attack the CSA! You have much more to potentially gain than against the USA. Plus, the USA is probably more likely to repulse you than the CSA, since the USA is more powerful and stuff.

Re: last update - factory screens

The more I know of this game, the more it reminds me of Imperialism II (in my top 5 list) : upgrades of RGOs and transport infrastructure, education for the population, improving efficiency of factories and requesting money and goods, necessary combination of certain goods to produce others, exploration, global market etc. etc.

I found ImpII a couple of days ago for £3.99, and since several people on these boards had spoke well of it I bought it. It's great! I can play all day and be so engrossed in building up my industry I don't even think of making war (aside from on the tribes, gotta have those new world resources :D). It looks like Vic is going to be a bigger, shineier and better version of ImpII so now I'm even more desperete for Vicky.

Hah, you make it sound like the US is going to walk over the Confederacy and actually do something about the Mexicans openly stealing Texas from them. Perhaps they should worry about not losing their own national captial first. :p

This is good news for the Mexicifation of the Wild West(er...Wild North) as well. With America too busy fighting itself Colorado and the other unclaimed areas must be looking pretty tasty.

Why would you even want to go against the CSA? There is almost nothing to gain from the entire experience and very little to gain. Its best to go after the USA and take back Texas(as your planning) and support the CSA; if you can create TWO nations to the North instead of one, it will be more divided and your Northern boarder will be more secure.

I agree, and make sure you stay allied with one of them, the confederacy for sure...

but how on earth is this possible when there are slaves in the area and Mexico has a contra slave policy...

perhaps grab the land from the North together with some unclaimed states, ally with the South secure the divided house, making Mexico stronger,

sell Texas back to the confederates for big money, do something useful with the money

actually, i think ,(tho not 100%positive), aprof sadi the anti slavery policy was embellishment used in the aar by characters to justify sending ships to scout africa, looking for colonies. i dont think there is any game mechanics involved.
correct me if im wrong tho:confused:

Yeap, I agree, at the begging of the war, the csa stood a good chance, but in the long term, they couldn't face the man power and industrial capacity of the north (something like Germany and Russia, HOI anyone?)
Of course, provided he declares war on the north, the UK might come on their help... (and I don't think they're fighting any other war at the time)

My money's on Hawaii :) DoWing the Union would probably mean instant death if Britain has even token naval forces in the region. DoWing the Confederacy would shaft up a promising split in the balance of power and there's no guarantee the Union will look kindly on even a friendly Mexico if Mex forces the South to disgorge its borderlands.

What did Hawaii do to get -1229 prestige in that pic?

Also, any guesses on how Mexico got promoted to Great Power?
