Luxemborugian World Conquest: Is it possible?

[Emp. Theodosius]

Topic. Will it be possible to emerge victorious out of WWII as Luxembourg leading their own faction on veteran difficulty? Will this be the ultimate WWII challenge?

 

[JerkyJerry]

Don't know the game is not out yet
It could be one of the ultimate challenges

 

[OBRkenobi]

I hope to god it's not.

 

[The Guru]

Luxembourg would be too easy. I would go for the Vatican. Panzer Swiss Guard Army Groups and all.

Only if you create a faction with Albania, then conquer Belgium, then Netherlands, then the wooooooooooooorld, hahahahah !!!

 

[AndroidEmperor]

Should it be? No. Will we see one eventually after release? Yes.

I think Daniel said at a point that he's not sure whether WC is even possible. However it's possible to keep playing after 1948, so in extended game Luxembourg might be able to pull it off.

no

 

[The Navy Shark]

I recall a Hearts of Iron 2 Let's Play of someone doing something similar to that. IIRC he invaded through Belgium and fled to and invaded South Africa. After that he built up his military and came back to liberate Europe.

Manpower is a big problem as it is the resources you can not really increase by conquest given the likely cost of conquest may be higher then the manpower gain from conquest.

 

[palomer]

I would say it is possible only if you get some AAA faction members like Japan, USA, or Sweden.

 

[Ctanr]

you have a lot of time until the final date so in theory it is possible, but tannu tuva is more difficult:
Luxemburg has 4 civilian factories,1 military factory 8 steel a population of 290.000 and land around it which are worth conquering

tannu tuva has 2 civilian factories 1 military factory 2 chrome a population of 90.000 and nothing interesting around it

I don't think politcal influence is determined by the size of the country, Luxenbourg could coax some larger countries into its own faction, and basically use them to do mass conquest. That being said, no matter how many minors join, they are not beating any of the majors bar Italy.

 

[Evan05]

There are just some countries (Luxembourg, Albania, Bhutan, Tannu Tuva, etc.) that should not be able to do anything massive.

The people that did it in HoI3 massively abused the faction and wargoal system.

The war goal system in HoI4 should leave this option impossible.
