By all rights, Benin and the UK should be winning this war, but instead we are losing to Russia and France because the UK is doing things like using large armies to siege down all French colonies in Africa, then marching those armies one by one up through northern Africa, across Spain, and into the maw of French armies waiting for them in the Pyrenees.

Standard behaviour. I have never understood how their colonial armies are so vaste, and put to such bad use. Siegining down Africa can be effective to stop rubber production I guess..but the UK regularly stomps troops from India to Russia and into Europe to attack from the EAST!!! Clever move, check mate Germany!!

<<EU4 Converted Game>>
Back in EU4, Colonial Tidore siezed much of the Philipines...

Two hundred years later, their cores still exist, causing a crisis, which I back to weaken a France in rebellion...

Surely five provinces in the Philipines won't start the First Great War! Come on France, We out number you and your Friends...

*Sigh*

When this war is over I swear France, Russia and Hungary will PAY!

That Province of Gaul is looking very tempting right now...

Saphire, the pictures are not showing

Is it fixed?

How did the USA fall from GP status??

Well if a Pacific nation has it's Atlantic territories, they certainly did something wrong.

 

[MrTrt]

Well if a Pacific nation has it's Atlantic territories, they certainly did something wrong.

I'm guessing it's due to heavy player intervention.

Which part tho the Fact Scandinavia exists and is a Great power supporting the US or the US not being a GP and having lost Pennsylvania because honestly Scandinavia rarely ever forms

Here's what happened.

I'm playing Japan. In the 1860s, the USA got into a colonial war with the UK over Montana. During this war, the Civil War fired. The US white peaced out of that almost immediately. This is the first time I have ever seen the AI CSA win the Civil War. The UK sieged down much of the leftover eastern US, while the US held some of western Canada. They eventually white peaced after a long war. During this war, I allied with and gained military access to the CSA and stationed most of the armed forces of Japan along the Mason-Dixon line. I then attacked the US with an Acquire State CB for New York, and won pretty easily. I was allied with the CSA, and because of my troop positioning quickly wiped out their army in Washington and quickly took a lot of the surrounding area (the US had a high war exhaustion already from the UK war). Meanwhile, the US used its remaining armies to.....siege Texas and Oklahoma. Once I had New York, the US was in dire straits. Rebellions, attacks from the CSA to acquire Missouri and then Kansas, Mexico re-conquering its cores in the west, me taking Pennsylvania and more, Hawaii enforcing independence, the CSA forcing the liberation of Massachusetts as New England, New England then reconquering the rest of New England. Here's how the map looks at the moment.

Wont the US eventually get enough immigrants to become a threat again tho especially once China westernizes you will have to keep taking land from them all game and if they manage to take the CSA while you are say fighting china it might be more trouble than its worth.

Its the reason I never take land from the US because immigrants always ensure a comeback unless you just keep taking land from them.

Definitely not. The USA is completely screwed at this point. Also, here's a screenshot of China (which has westernized by now, and lost several wars against Japan):

Im just saying Ive seen an independent new york commune with 2 mil+ million in one province US immigration in most games almost ensures them to be in the top 3 GP by the end of the game.

They've got their work cut out for them.

 

[MrTrt]

I saw an independent CSA, Manhattan and Mexican reconquista in the same game, yet the USA ended the game with historical borders. I do think they're screwed beyond recovery in that game but... Beware of the Eagle.

 

[Jorlaan]

Keep pounding them is my philosophy when it comes to the USA! I would keep taking land until you've pushed them past the great lakes and maybe even just annex the whole country. If you can get Mexico and CSA to take some then so much the better. Washington would be good for Mexico's borders.

I think I'll switch to another country and see what the USA does it with itself, but it's hard to imagine it coming back from being this wrecked in 1894.
