The state of the world as we returned to the game! The world will eventually change forever thanks to me intervening everywhere but first i have to slowly build up!

As soon as i started, Egypt granted us permit to excavate their lands, may we will get lucky and find something amazing in the future?

The Russians offered us Alaska and of course we took it, I was relieved that i got the offer because in previous games, I've seen the Russians selling Alaska to the Japanese!

This is my current Sphere of Influence in America, the plan is too take the whole continent under my influence before going to wars with Europe.

v2_4.jpg

The Venezuelans tried to rebel against my control, so i had to send a small attachment of 60.000 men to take control of the situation, a little overkill if you ask me, but it worked!

v2_7.jpg

While I was fighting in Venezuela, the Ecuatorians decided to rebel too, so i put them down too! The Monroe Doctrine will soon be at a 100%!


v2_8.jpg

A part of Canada was released by the British as a dominion! After they get their complete freedom I will try to get the rest of the East coast for myself.

I knew the Canadians where hiding something behind their sudden freedom! They are hosting socialist and communist in their country! right on my borders! This will not stand!

The reconstruction is over and i choose to help everyone in the south reintegrate into society while keeping their culture and help the freed slaves integrate into society country wide, this will be a boom for my manpower and taxation :^)! but don't worry, they'll be getting tons of representation!

Chicago's on fire!!!


image.png

Am i doing American taxation right? Tax the poor and the middle class to death and don't tax the rich at all right?

image.png

The construction of the Panama canal will start without hiccups!

I found this to be really interesting! While most of Alaska started to be colonized by Yankees, the province of Kodiak is almost 70% Dixie, with close to no Yankees on the region at all! this is the first time i see the Dixies moving like this to a colony!

The Event to annex Hawaii popped up!


v2_19.jpg

The day for the Berlin Conference is coming and I decided to annex a piece of the Kongo to get a headstart in the colonization of the region! I want to get as many African colonies as possible!

v2_21.jpg

I allied the Belgians in case they get a claim on the Kongo, that way we won't be immediately at war and if they don't get it, at least i can use them as a port for my troops into Europe, that i will surely need!

v2_22.jpg

We expanded our territory in Mauritania and deeper into the Saharan desert, the French are not going to be happy about this!

image.png

Took 7 years but the Panama canal is finally done!

v2_25.jpg

v2_24.jpg

The race for Africa has started since the Berlin conference just happened, i didn't get the event because i don't have my capital in Europe but I'm also able to colonize, but i will leave it like this for today!


The map by the end of the session! I told you it would change a lot!

I am reading and commenting the same time..

  • good, you will maybe get Egypt as sphere of influence:)
  • Alaska? who needs Alaska? Dirty oil and fish!
  • Why do backwater countries like Venezuela and Equatoria so hard fight against your welcoming, warming and embracing arms? I do not understand
  • Canadians are suspicious! Never trust them!
  • Don't see anything wrong with your taxation model! it works!
  • Panama Canal will increase the prosperity of all American Nations!
  • Thank you Global warming for Dixies up in Alaska?:)
    -Belgian Coup! That is nice, a landing bridge in Europe and in Africa. Both for colonisation :)
  • Struggle for north Africa against the ottomans? Reminds me of my spain EUIV play:) But southern part of Africa is fre for grabs!

Nice work there!

After my shameful lost against the British last time, this was indeed better!

I'm pretty sure global warming did not exist back then!

The Ottomans are not even a top 16 nation right now, they are pretty much dead already thanks to a few wars they had with the Austro Hungarians and the Russians to take Bosnia and release Romania and Bulgaria respectively!

The French got the Suez canal, so they'll probably annex Egypt before I can start influencing them.

Algier and Egypt it is for you..
And an Invasion of France over Belgium...hmm, where did I hear that one before?
:)
But with Canada, you will be in trouble with the British again.

I am exited to see, how that plays out :)

I've been slowly but surely building up my army and navy, I'm not ready to face the British yet, but in a few years I will and I will annex England as the 51st state even if it kills me!

A man can only truly call himself a man, when he has goals in his life.

And I thought my Japan colonizing Africa games was bizarro, good stuff.

Been a while (And even then, only played a proper game as Japan) since I've played V2, with HoI3 being my preferred paint the map simulator haha) , so you may know better than me whats what.

That said, will need some strong NAVAL allies if you wish to destroy British hegemony.

Almost thinking of doing an AAR myself now haha

Go for it! We need more GSG on Steem! All these kids with their Fortnite and PUBG are taking over!
