How does one Tripoli?

[Killerseth]

So I've been wanting to play a Tripoli campaign in vicky 2 for a long time except they start with the unfortunate disadvantage with fighting the Ottoman Empire. Now I know how to at least SURVIVE as Tripoli in the first war, but only in the vanilla game and AHD and I would would enjoy playing HoD for this campaign however I have no clue how to win the first war in that expansion (as the AI acts differently). So if it was possible to win in HoD that would be amazing! Also, what would one do once they win? How would one survive in the world for 100 years?

Why would you like to torture yourself with a nation like this ?

Tripoli is the hardest country in the game. You need a ton of luck.

If you stay alive and form Arabia by 1920 without any cheating I will somehow manage to go to your home and applause you in person as well as give you flowers.

Arabia will definitely be a very difficult challenge xD. I'll aim for it though, so far the only thing I had planned after the first war was to just sit and survive, so I think trying to form Arabia will actually give me something to strive for in the 100 years. Hopefully it's possible xD

It is possible, just about as likely as an asteroid hitting Earth tomorrow.

Is he is able to ally somebody that will want to conquer China for him? I see this as an only option .

Or attack one of the small Arab states. Easily beat and the Ottomans no longer have Restore Order CB on you.

Yeah, I was able to ally to France after they sphere'd me when I took over Algeria. At the moment I'm half way through the game (1886) and I was able to westernize and become the 16th greatest power in the world! And yeah I honestly don't know how to actually become a GP without using China as a means of military fuel.

So far this seems to be working, however I seem to be stuck in terms of points as my industry sucks and my military doesn't seem to actually get better. Right now the only reason that I'm the 16th power in the world is because of my prestige .

Also How does one form Arabia? Do you just need to be a GP or do you need also add Arabian countries to your SOI? Because the ingame decision is kinda confusing me.

 

[Chamboozer]

If I remember correctly, you need to be a GP and then sphere any one Arab country.

In situations like that, you should ally Russia. Let them invade China and take a state. Rinse and repeat.

I was able to leech China of 3 different states using France for two wars and the third war I fought by myself because France declined the war . However, with these three states from China, it gave me a huge economic boost with that taxes there and I was able to research and build 30+ Dreadnoughts xD. With my many dreadnoughts and units (from china) I was able to be launched from 11th in the world to 8th where I sphere'd Nejd and Yemen. Soon after I was able to form Arabia!

It's a Christmas miracle!

 

[Killerseth]

Can you post some screenshots? I would like to see this mirracle.

Sure! I must say though, this campaign has probably been the grossest border gore I've seen in all my life xD

Sadly I was never able to kick the Ottomans out of Africa, but on the upside I only had 3 wars with them (counting the first one at the start of the game) as France was able to protect my butt until I had an army to defend myself xD.

If you want to see Arabian China I can post that one too but it just looks the same as when I was Tripoli except in green .

Good job!

Someone is going to buy flowers.
Also, it was pleasure to meet you.
Asteroid won't be so nice XDD.

What in God's name happened with Austria-Hungary!? How did they colonize so much of Africa?

Also, becoming Arabia as Tripoli. I've seen it all now. Truly amazing, fantastic job. Please take me with you to Vegas.

Hehe yeah Austria-Hungary is screwed up xD Austria actually colonized it but formed Austria-Hungary when they lost the 3rd Great War. Honestly all of Europe is very screwed up (well the world in general is besides Asia) with Russia being the strongest power in the world right now.

Pleasure meeting you as well! Honestly, I didn't think I could actually do it (because I first thought it was impossible to form Arabia)
Thanks all for the general tips to not be a sucky nation! I wanted to ask how to survive so I can do a Tripoli AAR! Hopefully that goes just as well or even better! xD

That Austro-Hungarian Africa is...beautiful. Also it looks like some people owe you flowers....
