Shouldn't you be researching Nationalism and Imperialism now or something? The sooner you get the manifest destiny invention the better.

Manifest Destiny invention?Shouldn't you be researching Nationalism and Imperialism now or something? The sooner you get the manifest destiny invention the better.
I'll be doing more culture techs soon, though, don't worry.
It's probably less useful to you since you've abandoned Texas and all your colonial provinces to the Americans anyway, but basically once that invention fires you can take the glorious refute manifest destiny decision.
(Not to mention that it also gives you an extra NF and lets you fire the Open Door decision which gives you +25% immigrant attraction.
)
yeah it's pretty ridiculous the confederate can't field even one regiment ...
good work cleaning it up!

How do you do that decision? I may have messed it up since I made Texas independent and gave most of the southwest to California (I especially messed up with California they're a GP now)
You need to own all of your existing cores to even see it IIRC, so releasing California is probably what stuffed things up for you. (Does releasing states remove your cores on those states? I'm pretty sure that signing the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo removes all Mexican cores on US territory.)
I don't think it does because whenever I'm playing a minor power and feel like messing around with the Great Powers by releasing whatever I can, some countries still have their parent nation's cores (New England, Alsace, Naples, Cherokee) and some don't (Scotland, Ireland, Poland, most Eastern European countries)
Yes, I feel like somebody went overboard with War Exhaustion at some point, here. Infamy gives you War Exhaustion, every single occupied or blockaded home province gives you War Exhaustion, and there's no way to get rid of it, except via event late game. Honestly, I think it's in there to act as a cap to how long you can be at war, but it's ridiculous if it takes you a while to follow through on a Conquest CB. Absolutely ridiculous.
What does this decision do? (And yes, Guadalupe Hidalgo eliminates all Mexican Cores on American Land)
Removes all American cores and gives them -50 prestige, gives you all cores.
which I gotta say is a little underwhelming for continuously beating one of the strongest countries in the game.

Worth, though, considering how much land that is. What frustrates me is that the Americans get their cores for free, while Mexico has to fight tooth and nail for them.
i remember that event, it is great, it also gives you cores on colorado and oklahoma
If somebody had told me of that decision, this AAR would have gone very differently.
I think we're beginning to uncover some of those questionable gameplay decisions now...
Hey, I beat the Americans anyway, didn't I?I think we're beginning to uncover some of those questionable gameplay decisions now...
Concert of Europe mod also adds more events for Mexico, you get a free casus belli to get cuba from spain, you inherit all of Central America and keep it if you don't become a dictatorship/absolute monarchy, and plenty more
I must say, I have tried Concert of Europe, and it is insanely fun, while also being incredible difficult at the very beginning.
For me to lose at this point, there'd have to be at least another 100,000 American guys marching around, IMHO.Well as far as we humble readers know, you're still at war with them at the moment.
Sounds like my kind of mod, but isn't it still a WIP?
Oh? Is it done, then?
The Concert of Europe submod is both a WIP and done. By that I mean that they are constantly adding new features, lots of great ideas. But at the same time every new version is rather complete and playable.
Awesome, I'll have to try it out.
Also, I don't believe that I've welcomed you to the AAR yet. Welcome!
