Good to see some drama in Estonia.
German Empire is weirdly landlocked and kicking their way to seashore.

With the backward technology (which should be fixed asap! ), this is a big win.
Well I’ve been using some of my national foci to try and promote the party, we’ll see if it works.Wow, Germany caved in to accepting a white peace fast. Good job holding your own this time. Perhaps by the next war it will be Estonia making gains into Germany.
I'm also glad you managed to get the conservatives back into power. Hopefully you can get your economy built up before the liberal tide returns.
I haven't seen any scenario where it confers any advantages over factory subsidy policies, but if you're super late-game and you have factories with multi-tiered inputs (steel, glass, electrical gear, etc. into automobiles, radio, etc.), and you manage to keep those inputs going and have enough of everything you need (not an easy task) and you've done it early enough that you have very few competitors, you can make crazy enough profits for those advanced factories (and those advance factories only, everything else is still dead in the water) to autohire workers to the point of employment capacity. So- possible, but really really hard to do and with no real benefits as far as I can tell. Also, bear in mind that not every Liberal party is Laissez-Faire, so they're not automatically something to be feared everywhere they pop up. That said, they're still probably the least interesting and least beneficial ideology on average. Except maybe the Fascists, but that's really my personal political views talking.
Well, Fascist dictatorships are exciting. Fascists in power in a republic are kind of underwhelming (in my pretty limited experience; I try to not fall to dictatorships if I can for pretty arbitrary reasons). You'll get to roll back some political reforms, which will probably make a bunch of pops very angry at you, and that's where it will end unless you have the kind of insane revanchism score that admittedly typically gets Fascists elected anyway. Not that that's not kind of fun in its own way. I guess that does make them way more exciting than the Liberals, though.
I'm not super picky about where I end up, but I do think it would be fun to see my Estonia fall out of my control and go Big Red or Fascist just for a change in pace. I'm looking forward to seeing how this universe's "Great War" shapes up.
I lost the great war on my last Megacampaign because i allowed the Bizantines to exist in Ck2 and ignored them in EU4 (they developed into the leading world power in the late XIX century). I wonder who will be your great enemy on that part of the gameI'm looking forward to seeing how this universe's "Great War" shapes up.
Sadly Vicky 2 dont allow you to feed vassals (or i dont know how that can be done), i would sphere one nation and then give land to them to create a buffer state against Germany.
Maybe taking land from them and then releasing a nation could be a good idea to not over extend your borders, unless you want to take their more lucrative lands...

Ouch.. From what I've read on the wiki, losing the Great War is pretty nasty business and leads to your country getting chopped up pretty badly, right?
It was so bad that im thinking about restarting that game hahaOuch.. From what I've read on the wiki, losing the Great War is pretty nasty business and leads to your country getting chopped up pretty badly, right?
Yeah it’s horrific. I actually just finished a great war in my current play through, and the losing powers were obliterated. France became a secondary power and immediately underwent a socialist revolution, while Austro-Hungary dropped all the way down to civilised nation status! A good way of keeping things interesting late game, but as with most paradox games where military action is a large focus it isn’t the most fully resolved mechanic…
Well, I'm hoping to attempt a conversion of this to HoI4, so if it really does dice up some nations (even if it's my own) it should create an interesting framework for a WW2 playthrough.
