Update on the Wisconsin Empire.


Took West Virgina, Delaware, and New Jersey.

Good, now relinquish Ontario, and you'll be well on your way to victory!
I'm back people...

Well as of yesterday I have added Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Nova Scotia, and Connecticut to my empire.

Don't worry Nova Scotia surrender the moment I landed troops on their shores.

Well Quebec has the largest miltary of what is left of the Canadians with around 200,000 so that might last a little longer against my military of 1.04 million.

Am I the only one who thinks the map looks absolutely hideous with just those coloured lines so show the borders of your empire?

Keep calm and move along.

I add the lines in GIMP because otherwise its hard to tell what I control.

If only there was a world screenshot like Victoria or EU III.

Aren't there any different map modes like in those games, though, so you can actually get a sense that you're expanding a country and not a line?

Keep calm and move along.

There is a culture one that does look better but there is a problem with it.  The culture stays the same no matter who conquers the land.  So if I would conquer England it would show england's culture, not mine.

That's the worst political map I've seen in a game of its sort. It looks like CK's terrain map.

Keep calm and move along.

Well its not bad, when you zoom out it goes into a terrain map.

I'll take an additional that is zoomed in next substantial update.  Which will probably be in a few hours.

I have it, but I don't know how the hell to play it (and I goddamn hate how the map looks). Otherwise you would be seeing me playing as - you guessed it - Sweden, and I would right now be busy conquering all of Britain :P

You are just mad that I'm coming to save Canada with my 0.1% inflation and 1.6% unemployment.  :|

But British Columbia will probably be last...

You know, the only reason I always try to conquer Britain in these games is because I know it'll get a reaction out of you :P

Also look at the money I have 1,750,256,000,000.  And that's a surplus, my debt is gone.  :P

How?
How you ask.
Well I cut social spending like welfare in half from around $2,980,000 to $1,499,000.  Researched technology that allowed me to increase my quality ratings for other spending programs like infrastructure, law enforcement, and medical.

Then I increased some taxes like sales taxes and unemployment.  And lowered taxes on middle class, high class, and small businesses which allows them to spend more on products which I get some of that back with sales tax.

I do the smart thing.  Don't spend money I don't have so I don't go into debt.

Precisely!

Why else do you think Quebec is just sitting there not conquered?  :P
