Crumpets! Marmalade!...wait...


So, suggestions on what country I should start with?
Anyone really.
Britain for easy mod.
Germany for unification
France... wait don't play France...
Sweden/Denmark to make Scandinavia 
Japan to conquer Mexico
Brazil and conquer all of South America

Also, I'm really trying to get into HoI III at last. Still think that I like HoI II and Darkest Hour more, but it certainly has improved since I played it last time. Currently playing as USSR, and the date is January 1940. Steamrolled Finland with ease, and now I'm just mainly preparing for the German attack of 1941.

Also, my internal politics have been extremely succesfull, with very few spies in the Soviet soil, and the support for the Communist Party is over 50%, and it's organisation is 85%, which are both A LOT higher than other parties'.

My IC also seems good, and I'm pumping out a massive amount of troops, and I do kind of believe I will be ready for the German invasion when it comes. Or at least I hope so :P

That seemed like a good idea for me too, and it was working well untill UK decided "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to kick Brazil's ass?"

You can play as the dutch, very good economy when you get trough the start, and almost unlimited troops from your Asian colonies.
I have around a 100 Brigades standing by but both my economy and amount of people who want to by a soldier can support around 400 now.

And you're right between Prussia, France and the UK for some extra fun!

As long as UK leaves you alone, you should be fine in most cases. I could make a long list of games of VicII that were ruined for me because of UK. :D

Everyone can, if you play it right.  Or edit save games to lower your infamy.  You can also do what I do and just get a huge ass gently-carressing army that it out numbers England 4:1.

That seemed like a good idea for me too, and it was working well untill UK decided "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to kick Brazil's ass?"
gently-carress England.

How on Earth do you get things done then? Unless you focus on Asian conquests...well even then. :P

You just focus on asian conquest at
 the start, and stay low with your infamy.

Also, it's very important that you take belgium at the start. Otherwise it will take quite some time before you get a industry going.

Update on the Scandinavian Empire. I've got Castille by the balls.

Also, Grif, I only managed to take half of Holland before Austria got in the way.

Oh, and it seems Norway has resurrected somehow.

WOOT! After years...years!...my Empire: Total War works again...which proves that God is awesome.

So playing as Britain currently...the Thirteen Colonies are warring with the Iroquois, the Dutch are keeping the French busy for me and, sorry Tobbs, the Danes are somehow handing the Swedes their ass on the seas.

There, now I've conquered pretty much all of the Netherlands. Happy, Grif? Well it took a world war to do it.

Keep calm and move along.

Excellent work Tobbs. Sacrifices are needed on your part to get what I want, and you performed well. :P

In other news Tobbs, you should be proud. Sweden somehow managed to declare war on pretty much the entire known world, in my game. :P

I'm not sure entirely...I think it had something to do with attacking everyone in Europe...and having those European nations' allies join in...

In any event! Now that Sweden is at war with everyone, I intend to build up my navy, and if the Swedes even think about raiding my trade or attacking I'm going to wipe their navy off the face of the Earth...for starters.  ^-^

Yeah, yeah, navies are for pussies anyway. Whenever I play that game as Sweden I just overwhelm the world in a wave of blue uniforms :sorcerer:

Current conquests with Sweden in that game is all of Spain, all of France, all of Great Britain, all of Germany except Prussia, all of Italy, all of Russia, all of the Baltics including Poland-Lithuania, all of Persia, Florida, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, half of North Africa and half of India. The year is 1779.

Keep calm and move along.

Pffft, please Tobbs. If you and I went head-to-head in that game, I'd starve Sweden of income by mauling your trade. You wouldn't have the money to make your huge mass of Swedish cannon fodder. :P

Then I'd conquer you and give your nation as a gift to the Danes.  :sorcerer:

Well, you're probably right about that. I wouldn't get anywhere if I played online. In fact, a large part of my strategy in that game is relying on AI stupidity :P

Like setting up a wall of muskets that the enemy keep running into, and then bombard them with mortars when they run away.

Keep calm and move along.

Ahhh, you employ the "mega-stacking" technique. :P

Try playing on harder difficulties, it makes the AI marginally smarter and more challenging. Besides, I'm sure playing games like EUIII and Vic 2 would prepare you somewhat for online matches.  :sorcerer:

You wouldn't say that if you knew how much I cheat in EUIII. If I hadn't, Sweden would have gone bankrupt in the early stages.

Seriously, I had no idea how to get that country out of the minus. So...hax :sorcerer:

Challenge? I don't give a excrement about challenge, I just like to conquer The rest of the game is perfectly fine, I just don't want to bother with taking care of the economy. Economy is the most boring thing I've ever had to take care of, and I suck at it.
