This is pretty much my first AAR, and indeed my first post, so, here we are... I'm probably going to lose, but I'll record my game. This is by no far my first game,
but this is my first game with a weak unciv. I already have experience with other Paradox games. I chose this nation because I'm Javanese (more precisely, of
Majapahit descent, but that's in EUIII), and because it is a releasable country in Indonesia which seems in a good position (once belonged to a relatively technologically advanced nation, which means it
also has those technologies; Starts with a large (and luckily more literate than its neighbors, because of the previous factor)
population, and has good resources; etc.)
So, back to the AAR...
HOUSE RULES:
-NO RELOADS. Except for crashes. This means this AAR might abruptly end because of a bad decision which caused me to get annexed.
-No cheating. (I haven't done that in a Paradox game in ages!)
Beginnings of an Empire
In the year 1836, the Dutch decided to free the Javan kingdom. With knowledge from the previous conquerors, Java began to develop at an instant...
A few days later, the King (or sultan?) of Java decided to change the technology being researched...
And because of its strong resources, Java can sustain a thriving economy without sacrificing education, crime fighting and lower-than-high tax rates...
Bali offers an alliance. The King of Java wishes to conquer it in the future, so naturally Java declines. Also, Java has no soldiers, so, as you can see, new ones are being trained...
Unfortunately, budget deficits occurred, so tariffs were raised in order to increase funds without increasing taxes...
Dutch-style forts are being built in the capital of Batavia (or Jaya-Karta, as the locals call it) and Jogjakarta (or Yogyakarta),
while naval bases are being built everywhere else. Income is steady, but a few lows may occur, such as the one previously mentioned.
Bali tried in several attempts to create an alliance, which obviously are rejected. On January 18, 1837, Holstein goes bankrupt, giving Java
a reason for war (i.e. a casus belli). The King of Java is doubtful of this, since he has not a navy to carry soldiers, which, in themselves,
do not exist yet as well. Little to no progress is being done on the training of soldiers, because small arms are (trying) to get attained.
This is all for now. Next one coming soon...
On a side note: How come a nation doesn't get puppetized after released? That always happened on EUIII and HOI2. That does open opportunities though.
