Hmmm. I think you'll enjoy the next update immensely, Herr Volksmarschall.
I highly commend you on your ability to actually write an interesting, extended six-month update. Were I to attempt the same, no doubt I would attract a great many more readers with an interest in the evolution of industrial machinery.
Santa Anna seems quite the devious sort. I imagine he's a bomb waiting to go off – hopefully in the form of inspiring a liberal revolution. We can start by actually freeing up the presidential office. Our current protagonist's ability to flit in and out of it like a raincoat in August is as worrying as it is impressive.
The sooner we see some elections the better, I say!
Interesting style? Check
Full of historical facts? Check
Backstabbing? Check
Underdog Nation? Check
Going to annoy the Big Ones? Check
Count me in!
Wonderful update! Simply out of interest, but does Mexico share the United State's dream of manifest destiny? Surely if Mexico was stronger in this timeline, they would dream of a Republic spanning the continent!
You've played your hand very clearly, it looks like Santa Anna is on his way to new levels of glory! Surely only Washington can save Texas now?
How far into the americas does the ambition of Mexico go? Will the USA have to cede land to Mexico and reverse history?
Will you recreate Grand Colombia? Will you take what is rightfully yours (the two entire continents? )?
As a Texan, I agree with this statement.Subbed.
Can't wait for Ol' Sam Houston to put you back in your place!
Yes.Whoa, tough crowd. Is there anyone out there reading this AAR that actually wants Mexico to succeed?
You say that you want a free presidential office? And elections as well? Worry not, those Liberal rebels will soon fix that problem for you!I highly commend you on your ability to actually write an interesting, extended six-month update.

In the base game, Sam Houston is literally an impossible general for the player to match, at least defensively. What I mean by this, is that he has a +6 to his defensive rolls. And of course, the army composition for the Texan army is: 1 Guard, 1 Artillery, and 1 Dragoon, blowing anything that Mexico can put up clear out of the water. I have actually lost battles against Texas (on Normal difficulty) where I've had my entire army, with a 3 : 1 numbers advantage, and summarily lost against Sam Houston. To be fair, more than half of Mexico's starting army (in base game) is irregulars, but hopefully that highlights another bit of insanity for you. When I say that pound for pound, Texas has the best starting army in the game (maybe, MAYBE Prussia is better, or at least equivalent), I mean it.Subbed.

Mexico cannot reform Gran Colombia. Only Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela can.No. I don't actually see how forming Gran Colombia as Mexico would even be possible. Even if it was, it would probably involve us having to conquer all of Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador beforehand, and that would require us to fight several wars and a crapload of infamy. As much as I like the idea of resurrecting Gran Colombia, it simply isn't feasible.
Oh, and to answer Dr. L's question, Mexico does not get any event that gives it cores on another nation, only the removing of Mexican cores (en masse) is permissible. That is, unless the "Refute Manifest Destiny" decision is even more awesome than I'd imagine.

I think that that is a requirement, but I also think that it is nation-locked to one of those 4, just in case.Didn't think so; you'd have to have North Andean as your culture, no?
