Greek Empire: The Anti-Industrial Revolution
Industry is overrated.
Really, who needs it? Factories are a pain, railroads are expensive, and the game requires so much less management if you avoid the hassle of putting pops in this and that factory.
To that end, I will play this game of Victoria without investing in any industry. I might conquer or get industry through events, but I will not man any factories. (This actually started as a game as Greece to experiment with tech-rushing, but it evolved into quite a fun game that made me decide to write this AAR.)
Settings:
Country – Greece
Start Date – 1836
Patch – 1.03b
Difficulty: Normal/Normal
House Rules:
No building factories
No building railroads
No manning captured factories
Prestige may never be less than -20, and must generally be positive
Any other exploit is fair game
Goal: Build a nice empire, kick some Ottoman ass.
Note - This will be structured similar to my old HOI Italy and Sweden AARs. That means if you expect to learn about Greek culture , history and heritage through a cast of dozens in an AAR told in the style of an epic novel, you are out of luck. If you want to read a straightforward narrative, discussing game mechanics relating to a very specific strategy, you have come to the right place. And no, this is not a world conquest.
Comments are always welcome and appreciated.
