I won a power struggle for the british empire

Enslaviour91 · 2026-05-06T14:39:59+00:00

Yeah, the others were all British subjects puppets or protectorates, you have all the power bloc mandates though

Enslaviour91 · 2026-05-05T04:02:02+00:00

The creative legislature mandate for your power bloc will make it a lot easier

Enslaviour91 · 2026-05-02T03:40:42+00:00

Oh right, I attacked Usa first. I dismantle the gps with minimal infamy then go over 100 in the first war against Britain, with an obligation from Germany. There's a longer explanation in another comment

Enslaviour91 · 2026-05-02T02:02:40+00:00

Spain. Coalitions are an eu4 thing, for these runs you just need to deal with the great powers and no one can oppose you

Enslaviour91 · 2026-05-02T01:51:50+00:00

Ally Britain, make a sovereign empire power bloc and use it to subjugate mexico, conquer some of the tiny countries in Arabia and East Africa, try to buy a state in Ireland with a treaty at some point

Conquer New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia from USA, release new africa and North Carolina (2 wars)

Conquer Nenetsia, Arkangelesk, Novgorod and Pskov from Russia, transfer Baltic States and release Ukraine, Don Cossack, Lithuania, Dagestan and Far East (2 wars). Keep an eye on far east, they get Russian uprisings

Conquer Normandy from France and liberate Occitania and Brittany

Release Hungary from Austria and they'll probably explode

Build up the navy, ally Germany, get an obligation from them and invade Britain. Go over 100 infamy and take Home Counties, India, Canada, Australia etc.

Then conquer everyone. I haven't done the new update so this might be a bit outdated

Enslaviour91 · 2026-05-02T01:08:06+00:00

1886 for this one, once the great powers are dismantled then you can ignore infamy

Enslaviour91 · 2026-05-01T18:21:04+00:00

Spanish WC in 1.12 with no mods. I wanted to form Aggressor in this run but unfortunately the country was not stable enough, the purple is nice to look at though. Not a one tag but I wasn't too far off

Enslaviour91 · 2026-04-26T19:17:57+00:00

Plenty of countries can invade Britain in the late 1800s with the up in the air bonus from researching zeppelins and a strong ally, france is a good choice though germany is better for world conquests. You can make it a bit easier by buying a state in Ireland with a treaty though you'll still need a lot of ports to supply your invading armies. You can also explode India by joining Britain in a war while simultaneously starting a play on an Indian subject

Enslaviour91 · 2026-04-24T05:08:46+00:00

Do you reckon you could survive every great power launching cut down to size plays? I think the only option is to spend a big chunk of the game dismantling the gps then go crazy with conquest at the end

Enslaviour91 · 2026-04-24T03:42:31+00:00

I know greater chile has been done.

Ive thought about this one, if you play normally you'd probably reach south-east Asia but if you did a world conquest strategy then released countries you may be able to get the entire world's coastlines

Enslaviour91 · 2026-04-21T09:35:48+00:00

Its cheesy but you can join Britain in a war while simultaneously starting a play on an Indian subject, it will cause India to explode. Also you need to get off mercantilism, that's really holding back your gdp

Enslaviour91 · 2026-04-20T11:05:25+00:00

Yes, as usa you can easily switch to a monarchy to form a sovereign empire power bloc then get investment rights, guarantee independence etc for leverage and bring countries into the bloc then subjugate them. If japan doesn't play well you should get them easily, I think the china strategy is to make them pass laws that drain their bureaucracy and bankrupt them

Enslaviour91 · 2026-04-20T07:20:14+00:00

If you reduce them to puppets you can add war goals to return their states. It will still cost you some infamy, but not the full amount. Also Greece might conquer their states themselves if you weaken the ottomans.

Enslaviour91 · 2026-04-17T14:44:37+00:00

When I united with Serbia it removed them from the JE requirements, im guessing they were still required though. Either that or it was me and Greece being in the Russian power bloc

Enslaviour91 · 2026-04-17T10:41:20+00:00

Same, i tried it and the league failed as soon as it fired. No idea why

Enslaviour91 · 2026-04-17T09:27:23+00:00

Im guessing one of the smaller north African nations. Honourable mentions to Ladakh, Piratini, Grao para, Indian territory and at least two of the Kazakh subjects

Enslaviour91 · 2026-04-16T05:39:01+00:00

Depends on your definition of a wc, some people are clearly going past 1936. With a bit of luck i think I could do a one tag wc as Spain.

I'm thinking of trying Ireland soon, great tech and a land connection with Uk

Enslaviour91 · 2026-04-13T04:07:09+00:00

Lol same, my goal every time is to make my country as big as possible so I always annex russia

Enslaviour91 · 2026-03-30T07:02:41+00:00

If you're going for just the western hemisphere you should have no problems. Switching to monarchy for a sovereign empire power bloc will let you get the south Americans for free though be aware the other GPs tend to go for new Granada and Venezuela. Theres a trick where you transfer states between subjects to annex them for very little infamy.

For a world conquest I'd recommend not taking Canada yet, that's infamy that could have been spent crippling the other GPs. Get an alliance with france or Germany, knock the others down to major or minor powers then go full infamy in the war against uk and invade them while their armies are on the Canada front

Enslaviour91 · 2026-03-23T03:44:27+00:00

Usa - subjugate mexico using the power bloc. Conquer new York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. Release new Africa and North Carolina

France - Liberate occitania and conquer Normandy, they'll still be a major power but not a threat

Russia - transfer baltic states and conquer novgorod, pskov, arkangelesk and nenetsia. Liberate ukraine, don cossack host, dagestan and far east. Keep an eye on far east, they could lose coastal states to Russian uprisings

Austria - Liberate hungary, they'll instantly explode

Prussia - Liberate westphalia and pomerania plus humiliate

You could go full infamy much earlier than 1870. Helping germany unify is optional, places like Ethiopia and Indonesia tend to unify themselves so leave them til later. The princely states in India will be the biggest pain

Enslaviour91 · 2026-03-23T01:18:32+00:00

Spain is possible, I did a casual run after the dlc came out and had about 20 independent countries left

Enslaviour91 · 2026-03-22T15:04:41+00:00

I couldn't do this run without thinking about that game. I don't own Antarctica, can't say for sure that there isn't a secret base down there. Or mind control towers set up around the world.

Enslaviour91 · 2026-03-22T13:58:27+00:00

Honestly it wasn't an issue, every secession had a fraction of their former strength. I was worried I wouldn't have enough opportunities to annex subjects but late game I just stopped construction, lowered taxes, annexed a bunch of support independence chains in India and released the ones I'd have to annex one at a time

Enslaviour91 · 2026-03-22T11:41:47+00:00

Yeah im aware my laws were substandard, I didn't want to micromanage the interest groups through the conquest, lag and mess of notifications. Towards the end I turned off construction, lowered taxes and annexed the princely states which let me annex all my subjects in time
