      Spain is a great sandbox if you want your game to be fun for longer, they're just weaker and a bit more backwards. They have Cuba and Philippines as subjects giving them places to land fleets and free regional interests. They're also really strong militarily, they just need to build like 50 flotillas and then they can re-establish their colonial empires in the Americas as a fun little thing they can do. Sadly they don't really have any flavour in the game, at game start date, they had a long civil war (the Carlist wars) fighting between liberals and conservative factions and there was a brief attempt at republicanism in the late 1800s. They're a medium frequently played country and European so I feel like the chances of them getting a flavour pack some day is high

    To use the subjugate interaction the target needs to be of rank unrecognized major power or lower. So even if you manage to pull France into the bloc. You can't subjugate them. Something like the ottomans if they fail the reforms are a nice target though!

    Ah, the Thunderdome patch. It definitely makes the France to Turtle Island strategy a lot more difficult. I attempted it once, and the US expelled my diplomats just before I could get the relations to annex them, and they tried to attack me. I only survived with British assistance, and was able to annex them that way. Seems like the only way to make it work is to join GPs in their war efforts, so they have a positive attitude towards you.

  • @genew3452
    @genew3452 2 месяца назад

    Historically the British were not so concerned with trying to gain political domination over independent countries in the first half of the Victorian era, but rather using its financial power to gain influence via economic means alone (backed up by British military power if needed in case those financial interests were threatened). It's only when other European powers moved to create exclusive control of their economic interest areas and shut the British out that the British moved to more direct rule in places like sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Would be interesting to see if just playing Britain using the power block to gain financial control without actually making nations protectorates is a viable strategy.
