Is it possible to conquer the world in AoD ?

[Zhang]

Not only conquer all territory, but can also maintain war economically balanced.

I'm sure lots of people intend to do that...

In HOI2, the major obstacles are US Navy, always-overloaded TC and resources.

Conquer the world

Yo ucan conquer the world if you are the USA!!!:rofl:

hey dropped the hardcoded end date so yes(IF you have enough time)

In Hoi2D:ARMA you could conquer the world by 1944 as Germany without even trying hard (I know 'cause I did, by accident though!).


So conquering the world by 1963 is not a question of if but when!

Now this is interesting, conquering the world by accident? :rofl:

 

[Shabz]

Well such things happen. I mean, you get out of bathroom, slip, and order a Sealion, and, wow and behold, no British troops in England, they left off to duke it out with Italians in NA. You conquer Isles, and get a "New World Order" event... Accident. At least it so happened to me.

As soon as you're down to just one last province left unconquered Johan will break down your front door and you will be tasked with one last and truly final battle: to defeat Johan in hand-to-hand combat in which you will surely lose.

I was just playing along with the flow, merrily following the historical path of attacking USSR when it happened in real life. But I didn't really lose much so just kept on marching till I hit the bering strait. Since I got there anyways, I thought that going for China could be fun, i mean I had my troops there anyway. After that I conquered in a spiral, moving through India since that seemed fun, then through former Persia, not because of a set plan, but because it seemed like fun at the time. That ended in South Africa and having already gotten that far, I thought that I could just as well cross over and invade the States for the hell of it

And what would be even more interesting? Conquering the world by accident as ... Canada. dadaDAA

Given enough time one can conquer the world with Luxembroug. However, what a boring game that would be.

Not without heavy cheating.

Not without heavy cheating.

I think it might be possible if you count reloading save games not as cheating. I read about some strategies. I think best chance would be to ally yourself either with the Axis (or Allies) and hope they'll conquer France/Germany through you, so you gain all the land. Only then you could start producing anything... it would certainly involve no-time limit, and probably full IC overtaking or whatever it is called... but it certainly looks doable. Fun? I don't think so..

But there is another minor with also only 5 starting IC which is big fun to conquer, errr I mean liberate the world with

I keep hoping for a game where you can't conquer the world. Look at the Germans IRL, they were far from conquering the world and they could just barely control the bits they did conquer. I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to do better than they did (it's a game after all) but taking over the whole world should not be possible.

 

[deadmeat1471]

I really dont understand why people are always fixated on conquering the world.

I content myself with merely defeating the axis/allies.

It's because a lot of people want a bit of an "involved" game and that involves (pun!) setting goals WC is an easy to think of goal.

 

[deadmeat1471]

Goals come from your implementation of the 'defeat axis' problem. Pretty much all the world is at your disposal and therefore your strategies are limitless.

No need to conquer Bolivia.

Bolivia has chocolate.
Chocolate is tasty.
Tasty things are good.
Good things need to be controlled.
To control things you need to conquer them.

Voila you need to conquer Bolivia!

But that would make the game no fun.

Imho Not being able to take over the world would actually make the game more fun since it gets harder and harder the more you take over. So everyone would be able to expand just as far as their own skill level is and then have really tough and even battles even if the AI isn't perfect.

Autobalancing gamemechanics ftw!

Edit: TC is a great example off this. TC drain will expand much more rapidly then available TC as you start expand your army and conquered lands. No TC makes HoI3 lategame really booring (no challanges).
