Road to World Conquest

price of wc just increased though, ameican land is way cheaper when under native/CN control, the longer you let Peru grow the more painful it will be

you should have returned portugal its capital

It doesn't change anything, eat Peru and inherit all colonial nations

it seems peru integrated all of its colonal nations? Because I see entire region green and not blue(ish)
so... he literally cant do that and instead needs to annex it entirely.
I mean its diplomatic map mode dude... know how to read diplomatic map mode if gonna give advices PERU LITERALLY HAS NO SUBJECTS OTHER THAN THAT MINOR THING WICH IS AN OPM!

People are saying feed your subjects and that's fine. But that's so much micro management, I don't understand how people don't lose their mind from the tedium. Don't be afraid to take on a lot of land yourself, especially the best states. Late game you'll be happy to have the coal producing provinces for yourself

To be honest, not losing your mind from the tedium is the biggest challenge of a WC for a decent start and a moderately skilled and knowledgeable player. Just dealing with continued management for efficiency and not totally screwing something up becuase you weren’t paying attention. With the HRE Vassal Swarm it is a bit worse dealing with land for less need to focus on constantly playing as efficiently as OE becomes mostly irrelevant.

As the HRE, I personally would core as much land as I can from peace deals while giving vassals any extra and at least enough to ensure they can continue accepting land. I would also give vassals all the land from tags I can 100% without taking it myself for the simplicity (also gets around vassal OE limits and only accepting land directly adjacent).

Don't neglect feeding your PU's, they only check their amount of troops to yours for the purpose of liberty desire, so you can feed them alot more.

There are no more colonial nations, Peru directly owns all former colonies, even australia. Its just one big country. But maybe I can get a Habsburger on the Throne for a PU

actually it negates micro management because more powerful your vassals/marches are less micro management you need to do at wars.
think of HRE vassal swarm as example: At that style you dont take land to yourself but give them to your vassals

The positive thing about the Peru forming and inheriting all colonial nations is that they lost a lot of their colonist,s which means that their expansion rate has been reduced.

I would focus for now on India and China. As soon as you have broken the major resistance in those two blocks, you have destroyed your two main roadblocks. Your colonies will also grow just as fast, if not faster than Portugal. You could transport one army over to the new world to start conquering the natives, this will make your colonies stronger and also take away possible expansion paths of Portugal. Especially Inca and Mexico.

Micro at wars is enjoyable for me. The micro of granting provinces one by one through subject interaction after the wars is too tedious for me to do on a large scale like a WC.

I did the HRE vassal swarm WC like 5 years ago. Never again. I take it all myself other than getting subject cores now.

considering you can click on land to choose land you want to give its not so tedious at all

I got a PU over Peru, so with still over 100 years on the clock, it is all slowly coming together!
