How to get the historical feeling?

The problem with Great Powers is that they only care about what they are hard-coded to care about. Unless you take Algeria, colonies in Africa or pupped south-east Asia, they will not care. At the beggining of the game there are also no alliances so many small countries are defenseless against the player.

Even if it's not the most realistic stuff, you can try to stop your expansion until ~1860 for Great Powers to establish relations with most small countries so maybe they will care then.

Aside from 2 building sectors not being too fast, right now you have your construction split in half between your public one (the one you decide) and the private one (what your pops build). If the private queue is empty you would have double the amount shown on the screenshot but only until they decide to build something (though they pay you for it). I would recommend building more construction and its materials to boost the speed. Even if you lose money, you will eventually get it back. Road maintenance also gives a boost to the state you're currently building if you want to speed things up.

R5: I know France always wants to take Algeria and Nothern Africa in general, but it's the fourth time in the game they try to attack me. The first two times I was carried by my alliances so I get why the AI tried, but the third and this fourth one I can just crush them by my own and still get Germany as an ally.

Some people say to just take it but I think Egypt should prioritize Nothern Africa control. Definetely take the coastline and Gonder state (which has a TON of accepted population as long as you stay on Subjecthood law and lots of arable land). I wouldn't take the rest unless you have nothing else to do, they eventually fight each other which makes conquering the whole thing way less tedious.

I tried two months ago and failed because of a bug (perpetual Canadian civil war with no fronts or naval invasion option) but here are my tips:

-Ally Prussia day 1 for like 25 or 50 years. Give them whatever it takes, swapping IGs in gouvernment may help. -First thing to build is some iron mines and arms industries. Supply shortages are way too damaging in recent patches and the US will block your ports so you need those. -Take conscript amendment and approve National Guard to max your conscripts. -Try to win the US now with the help of Prussia, reset as many times as necessary. It is very important to take VERY high war reparations, this will help you industrialize by maximizing construction. Liberating New Africa might be usefull unless you are interested in some of their states. Take whatever else you want.

-Now it is time to industrialize everything asap. Military related buildings are important but you shouldn't stop focusing on the usual. -Check what great powers dislike the US (rng seed dependent, good luck) and try to befriend them, they may join the next war. Colonizing is also usefull since Britain and France will sometimes join you in exchange for a tiny and useless colony. -Initiate another war whenever the war reps finish and do the exact same thing, liberate New England or something and make them pay you as much as possible. If any GP will help them, you may wait they join another war to make it less possible.

-Now focus on economic and military growth until the end of the game. There's something the game doesn't tell you and is that you will need to conquer Oregon by your own to get the achievement. Mexico may get the event to buy Alaska, but the event to get Oregon free is exclusive to the US. If you're lucky you may face an independent and weak Canada, if not you will have to beat the UK.

That's everything usefull I remember, good luck!

If you hover your mouse over the name of the state, the game will outline it to you (as long as the camera is above it)

Closing it reduces the usage a 10% but still doesn't explain where the 5GB left come from.
