Krakow got harder again so i formed the commonwealth again in victoria 3

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-13

[00:00:00]Yo, today I'm playing as Crackow. They have gotten a lot harder with 1.13 because of mostly one change, which is you can no longer sign treaties with a country unless you have a border with them or are in the same power block or have a coast. But Krakco doesn't have any of those things, which means that a lot of the old strategies that relied upon, for example, getting the UK or Ottomans to support your independence are no longer possible. So, we're going to need to probably actually build up a good army or rely on some big secession from Austria. So, it's looking to be a lot harder than before. So, for technologies, I'm going to start out with water tube boiler or actually railways, water tube boiler nationalism.

[00:00:46]We want to get nationalism eventually so we can use our journal or where is it?

[00:00:50]There's some sort of journal. Why is it not in potential? Did they remove it?

[00:00:54]Maybe they removed it or maybe we have not met some requirement to be to see it. Anyway, we'll start enacting cultural exclusion. We're going to try to go for no migration control soon after as well because we want to get migrants into Kkow. I will put some decrees down. We want to try to maximize our ability to use the state.

[00:01:16]And then I guess what we want to look at is like what are we buying the most of from Austria and build that. So right now it's like paper I guess. So I can build like a paper mill. But that's not really very productive. So I guess I'll build like a logging camp and then um I guess just another one. That seems like the most productive thing to build first. Interesting that I got a South German cultural community. Was that insanely lucky or do they start with this? Wait, I need to check this. No, surely they start with it. Okay, I checked and we do indeed start with it.

[00:01:49]That's going to be really useful. That will mean once we get on to cultural exclusion and new migration controls, we should be able to get some South German migrants from Austria as long as our migration attraction is good, which yeah, it is very good compared to the South German states in Austria. So, I should be able to get very good amount of migration. I guess I'm going to start improving relations with Austria, but also demanding things from them to try to keep my liberty desire up. So, you really don't want to have a awful liberty desire. Now, it looks like by far the trade center is the most productive thing to build up. So, I guess I'll build up more trade center levels. I really need to delete a university. We cannot afford the university. of course want to have the university because it helps keep the intelligencia strong which is important for passing cultural exclusion because they are the only interest group helping us pass it right now. So we get this event a south German voice and yeah that gives us a sovereignist which means we are absolutely rushing human rights.

[00:02:52]It's going to take a while, but like you cannot just give me a sovereignist and expect me to not rush human rights. I know it's quite unlikely this character is going to stay for 15 years, but if we could do that, that would be so nice.

[00:03:07]Just got cultural exclusion. All right, now I need to try to bring in the industrialists, which is just barely legitimate.

[00:03:14]And yeah, the goal is to pass new migration controls here. I'll do some negotiations, I guess, to try and see what we can get.

[00:03:23]That looks good. Trying to pass new migration controls. We just need to hope that we don't go too illegitimate, I guess. Uh, I guess I need to delete the other university now.

[00:03:33]It doesn't serve too much purpose. Uh, oh, I have subventions. Let me remove my subventions for die. Actually, I can't remove them. That's a Austrian thing.

[00:03:44]Okay, that's that's a little bit weird.

[00:03:46]But yeah, what we have to do, I guess, is delete the university. It's not that important now that we've already passed our thing. We can always build it back up if we need to use the sovereignist.

[00:03:55]I'm getting some migrants, but I'm not sure. Do we I guess do we have like 60 acceptance? Um, we have 50 acceptance from heritage trait group and 10 from no shared language traits. So, actually, I guess we are getting Austrian immigrants right now. So maybe no migration controls isn't super important, but it's always nice to get no migration controls. So I'm definitely going to keep passing it.

[00:04:18]Oh yeah, I should also start improving relations with Prussia and maybe Hungary because we want to get Prussia to support our independence eventually once they break their defensive pact with Austria and Hungary. We also want to support us if possible.

[00:04:33]I'm upgrading my PMS. I didn't realize that they were just set to the wrong ones at the start. So fix some of those.

[00:04:40]Yeah, that jumped my GDP up a bunch.

[00:04:43]Could rig the election in favor of the free trade party here. I don't think it's really necessary. I'm just going to get the electoral confidence, I guess.

[00:04:51]Okay, I passed no migration controls.

[00:04:54]Um, I guess proportional taxation is going to be next on the agenda.

[00:04:59]Getting the industrial sun on side should make this pretty easy to pass.

[00:05:03]I'm getting a crack supremacist movement. It should go away as our law enactment recent thing goes down because right now both these laws are pretty recent. Interesting that it waited until after we passed the laws for it to start going up. But yeah, it's back out of being a revolution again. And hopefully it'll go back below 50% eventually so I stop having to deal with obstinence, which is slightly bad.

[00:05:28]To try to get my liberty to stop being quite so low, I'm going to build up one irregular infantry just so that I go from having this minus 0.25 25 from having no army to a minus.1 from having an army that's like infinity times weaker. Austria is having with the Ottomans is putting them into a good amount of debt. Like to see that. I mean, I imagine it's going to go on for a little bit longer. And that's going to be pretty good for me getting Austria in a few million of debt so they're maybe a little bit less that can mobilize completely for their secessions when springtime of the people's starts going on. I'm getting close to the GDP requirement to request investment rights in Austria.

[00:06:07]Very close.

[00:06:10]Oh, did my tooling workshop finally fully employed? H. Yeah. Uh, what if I swap out the resource industry for manufacturing? Can that get me Oh, 602K.

[00:06:20]We're so close.

[00:06:25]66K. I just need like a little bit of random fluctuation to maybe do it. There we go. Okay, request investment rights.

[00:06:36]That should be good. It'll give me a little bit of minus liberties there, but it should let me start making some more profitable things. Maybe I should just cancel the steel mill.

[00:06:47]Um, I think the predicted productivity for it is really low. So, yeah, let's actually just like stop building things in our country and instead start building things in Austria.

[00:06:55]Specifically, probably wood. I think wood is going to be the most productive thing to build a lot of.

[00:07:02]Um, just sort by like highest productivity.

[00:07:05]Uh, so Bohemia looks like it's going to be best. You always want to build them in Austria, I think, not in Hungary because I don't think those will count towards reducing our economic dependence. Uh, oh, interesting. The industrial support this. Okay, we got a protectionist. That's good. I'm going to go back to uh interventionism so that I get a little bit more of the government profits or I get like government building profits as government dividends as well as reinvestment and they aren't forced to get privatized because obviously we don't want Austria to be buying back our buildings or anything. This should be pretty good. I guess I'll try to pass this pretty quickly.

[00:07:43]Um do I want to pass freedom of conscience? Probably not.

[00:07:48]At the end of that war, Austria is now sitting at like 2.2 million debt. Looks like they are going back down pretty quickly though. Imagine that means that they're not really doing any construction or anything though if they're burning that much debt a week.

[00:08:01]Yeah, I don't really see them doing any construction, which is pretty nice.

[00:08:06]I'm going to put an iron frame on my tools. Uh that is going to make them slightly bit more profitable. Yeah, cuz Austria does not have very good steel.

[00:08:15]Getting close to passing interventionism. So, I'm going to build up my first construction sector because I believe with interventionism giving me government dividends, I should be able to afford it.

[00:08:25]Uh, we're going to go into a little bit of a deficit at the start here, but I do have 183,000 gold reserves, so it should be pretty fine.

[00:08:32]Why am I not going to deficit? I guess uh we guess we have 75% investment pool allocation, so it kind of makes sense.

[00:08:39]Yeah, we're doing good. Can afford to have one construction sector now. Maybe the private Q will purchase some buildings in Austria as well. With our little tiny bit of ownership, we are pretty substantially decreasing our economic dependence. Once it gets below one is when we really start doing get some liberty desire from that though.

[00:08:58]We've got too good of relations. I need to actually start damaging relations with Austria. I think maybe I shouldn't want to think.

[00:09:09]What do we want to do? Yeah. Okay. I have too good of relations. I wanted to like ask them for increased autonomy, but we're never going to be able to gain liar with this much relations. I need to damage them at least a little bit for now. Wonder how we even Oh, but Oh, we have friendly. We're not going to get back to friendly very easily. I think I got that from like the Catholic event where you get plus 30 relations. H, it's a little bit of a No, no, we're not. We're not actually going to damage relations. I'm going to keep him at 80 so I can try to like increase autonomy with the the demand or the request. I mean, is that a I think that's a good idea.

[00:09:47]Yeah, we just need to hope we can get someone like Prussia or Hungary to support our independence as well as getting our economic dependence down and then we should be pretty good.

[00:09:56]So, really got to try to get some support independences going. I believe zero economic dependence will give plus.33 liberty desire and that's going to be our biggest source of it.

[00:10:09]Oh, Hungary is rebelling. That is quite interesting.

[00:10:15]Unfortunate that uh I'm not involved on the Hungary side, but I guess I don't know that I would want to be because this war looks pretty losing for Hungary.

[00:10:24]Um, so in terms of laws, I think I want to go like colonial exploitation next for when we get a coast eventually.

[00:10:31]We'll want to probably do some colonies.

[00:10:33]It'll be good to do that. Oh, here we are in the springtime of the peoples.

[00:10:37]Let's see. How's Austria's radicalism looking? Okay. Liberal movement is firing into a civil war, except it doesn't have enough support actually. So maybe radical movement will. Oh, it doesn't have enough support either. H, interesting.

[00:10:53]Polish national movement is looking like it's not going to fight into civil war unless Prussia does it first because I don't think I can support the secession. Yeah, I don't have the ability to support separatism because I'm like a subject and I don't have nationalism and I have too good of relations. Oh, actually it's firing because of other political movements giving the plus 25% or whatever. Okay, but it's only getting West Galissia, so that's probably not going to beble to succeed.

[00:11:23]Unless like the Yeah, there's no big revolution here. So, probably most of these are going to fail. We got nationalism. We still don't have the journal entry that you used to get, which is interesting. Oh, the sovereignist uh has disappeared. Okay, I'll go onto some actually reasonable texts.

[00:11:42]Wonder if they're still in our national cast.

[00:11:45]Yeah, they're not. Okay.

[00:11:47]Kind of unfortunate, but it's kind of to be expected.

[00:11:51]I'm taking out the lanners from government to help reduce this pro overlord lobby that's decreasing our libertar. Obviously things that affect our liar aren't really that important at the moment.

[00:12:04]Uh oh. Krakowian revolution.

[00:12:07]H. What do I want to do here?

[00:12:11]I could just not. No, we want to do this. Oh, but we don't want to weaken the industrialist and intelligencia.

[00:12:18]No, I'm just going to send in the army.

[00:12:20]I'm going to go off for free trade onto protectionism because all the interest groups like it and uh it says it's going to give me money. I don't know if it's actually going to give me money or if it's just going to give the tariff money to Austria. I think it probably will just give the tariff money to Austria.

[00:12:34]I can get plus 20 relations with uh Austria, which is kind of nice. That'll put me at 100 relations, which mean that I can request something and have them deny it for that plus 10 libertire without that taking me out of friendly.

[00:12:48]So far, economic dependence is down to just 0.5, which is pretty nice. Yeah, you need really little ownership in your overlord to start reducing economic dependence. Kind of nice. It's also kind of weird, though. I feel like you should need a little bit more. Like maybe double. I think I can afford another construction sector, so build up another one. That will mean we'll have 10 construction for both us and the private queue. So, a nice thing about this Polish uprising is we no longer have market access. actually had to reload for that because I think there's some bug where market access is like not updating unless you reload. But now we're going to start gaining some liberarire for a while while this Polish uprising is getting crushed which is going to be really nice. We're going to get so much lizarire. Maybe we'll get up to like 50. It really depends on how long this revolution stays for.

[00:13:40]But any liazar we get will be good. That mean we'll have to wait less time once we actually start gaining positive desire normally again. Oh, Austria's like kind of losing to the Polish uprising here. That's not really what I expected to happen kind of, but it is what's happening. So, actually, I don't know if they're going to lose long term, though. They might beat up Hungary and then end up beating it. I don't know.

[00:14:02]But it's not that important. We are losing some money right now as well because of course we don't have like any market access and stuff, but it's fine.

[00:14:11]Oh, wait. What's happening? Oh, they gave me my own market, right? That makes sense.

[00:14:18]Oh, but now my my economic dependence is zero, but it's just not quite good enough to get my labor to start increasing.

[00:14:25]I need someone to support my independence. But of course, until the Holy Alliance is over, can't really do that.

[00:14:34]How is my relations with Russia? They're amicable.

[00:14:38]Um, yeah, they don't really want to support my independence very much right now.

[00:14:43]Hopefully, we'll beble to fix that, but it's going to be tough. Things are really going to be dependent on how this Polish uprising goes. It kind of looks like the Polish uprising is going to win, which kind of really changes my strategy.

[00:14:54]Yeah, I think the Polish uprising is pretty likely to win or like get a white piece.

[00:15:00]Oh, but maybe not. Oh, no. I won. Huh.

[00:15:05]Okay, this is weird. Galissia Lotoia also exists.

[00:15:10]What? Oh, Hungary got its independence.

[00:15:14]Okay, Hungary getting its independence, I guess, caused all these other things.

[00:15:17]Wait, how did Hungary get its independence? I thought it was winning.

[00:15:20]Okay, I inspected the save and I'm like pretty confident I understand what happened. Austria annexed Hungary, but there was a revolt going on in Affold. A Hungarian revolt was going on in all when Austria annexed Hungary. When you annex a country, it does not annex its revolts. So that country stayed alive.

[00:15:41]Then that country got renamed to Hungary instead of a Hungarian revolt. Then that counted as Hungary having broken free from Austrian control in Austria's matter of Hungary journal entry, which means that Hungary gets all their states back. And Galissia Lomaria got released and Croatia. Oh, also I guess Venison Lombardi I think is causing the same thing. Yeah, that's what happened. Very interesting. Oh, that gives me independence.

[00:16:12]Huh. Okay. Well, this is really not what I expected. I almost want to reload for worse RNG, but I'm going to take the hand I was dealt. Um, I'm pretty sure I'm just going to start annexing the other Hungares. Actually, I need the other Poland. Actually, I need 50 relations to annex them, though. Yeah, we're about to annex them pretty easily here, which is going to be pretty nice.

[00:16:35]This is so weird. Really not how I expected this game to go. Actually, there is no point to improve relations with Galissia Lomearia because they um what's it called? They have a Ukrainian leader, which means we cannot annex them with the event.

[00:16:54]Now, it's time to sign a big treaty with Prussia. We're going to go for military access.

[00:17:00]Uh we're going to give them investment rights and then a bunch of company monopolies.

[00:17:05]Um technically we're kind of scamming them because we're giving them double of the same company monopoly, but don't worry about the scam. Um yeah, the important thing is we need military access and ideally transit rights.

[00:17:18]Um and I guess it's going to be a little bit easier if we just go for something to give this like minus 8 acceptance or no, let's not do that. Let's just do this.

[00:17:28]Good. Okay, we get this treaty through.

[00:17:32]Now we can declare a war against, for example, Anhalt, which has no battalions. And you get insane treaty acceptance on Prussia. If you give them these little split states, so that's sort of part of the plan here to try to give them some of these split states and then sell them for huge profits. I should be able to upgrade, right?

[00:17:53]because I have my like trade center should be working again.

[00:17:58]I guess I need to like subsidize and then max cement merchant marines to try to get some trade going. I just import merchant marines should be pretty decent. Don't want to have to deal with this radical revolution. So I will just start passing census suffrage to get that to go away.

[00:18:19]Um, yeah, war with Anthhalt should be pretty easy because they have no battalions.

[00:18:24]So, I should just be able to do a land invasion and get an halt and then we can see how insane the acceptance truly is.

[00:18:33]L invasion. Yep. Okay.

[00:18:36]Get over there super easily. And I guess we have to wait a little bit for preparing invasion. And then we'll just take over NHL. And a lot of these other countries have at least a couple of battalions, so it'll be a little bit tougher to get those ones. But we got our first state in Anhalt there. So if we look here, we can trade that to Prussia for 250 acceptance, which is a pretty good amount.

[00:19:02]Um, for example, if we wanted to buy Oberion, that would be 1242. I think realistically what we want is an alliance and a lot of money transfer, like 8,000 or something.

[00:19:13]So for that I might want to conquer like two extra states.

[00:19:18]I guess I need to get my relations up to 50 with Prussia again.

[00:19:22]But uh Shamberg Lipe should be another thing I can conquer while I still have like no states remaining eventually. I mean while I have no army obviously I should try to build up at least a little bit of an army in order to help out with these wars. I got the Christ of Nations journal. I don't know why I just got it now. That's strange.

[00:19:45]Um, yeah, this costs a decent amount of money and it gives me 75% support separatism strength. I don't think we want to do that. I don't think support separatism strength would be very useful right now. I don't think we can trigger the Polish national movement in Russia or something, right? Yeah, we only have like plus 10 activism. So, we can maybe get it up to like 65 or something, but not enough.

[00:20:08]Instead, we'll probably just have to do like a liberate war against Russia.

[00:20:12]Um, oh, Brunswick joined this play.

[00:20:15]Brunswick is a little bit strong. They have eight battalions.

[00:20:19]So, we'll just ignore them.

[00:20:23]Now, I can fight. I can do my land invasion on Shamburgg Lipe. That'll give me another bunch of exceptions. It's really just based on the number of states we have and not the quality of the states. That's what Prussia seems to care about. Also, ideally, they should be states that Prussia has a split state in, but I think anything that Prussia borders is good, too.

[00:20:42]Um, after water tube boiler, I think just go like mechanized workshops, I should turn on the water tube boiler PMs for sure. That'll help out.

[00:20:57]Look like we kind of need like another iron mine or something. That would be good. Wall deck is next on the chopping block. Brunswick is trying to take my capital, so I guess I'll go back to try to stop them from taking it too quickly before the war gets capitulated.

[00:21:12]Um, it's not great to have to take the battle losses, but it's better than them just occupying Crackkow for a second, I think, cuz that would like kill our trade centers and stuff. They might actually they're going to still occupy it, but only for like a week, so that shouldn't be a big deal. Or maybe they won't. Uh, yeah, it looks like they won't. Okay, good. Now we white piece and we can see Prussia will give us 250 value of uh Krakowian Westfallia.

[00:21:44]So that's pretty nice.

[00:21:48]And next go for Wald deck.

[00:21:52]Actually Waldak has like a kind of strong army. So, I'm going to cancel my invasion and just station my troops in Shamberg Lipe for now because their one battalion is a skirmish infantry and I don't really have the ability to beat that. Wait, what? I was just trying to upgrade. I was going to Okay, I guess the upgrade button is different now. It instantly upgrades, but it demobilizes the unit or something. I think that's what it means. Okay, that's not what I'm used to, but I guess that's how the new system works. Wait for vampire to go up.

[00:22:22]Also, there's a chance they try to invade me, in which case I can just invade them. I'm going to queue up a third unit as one mobile artillery, so that way I should be able to beat Wall deck. I'll also uh increase taxes because I want to fix things. I guess I need to stop subsidizing the trade center as well. It'll naturally Oh, wow.

[00:22:45]The trade revenue is so negative.

[00:22:48]I guess I need to try to get rid of all my tariffs.

[00:22:52]Yeah, I'll try to get rid of my tariffs to convince the trade center to make some better trades hopefully. Okay, it's time. I'm going to go for the invasion now before the German national gets too mad. I think we can maybe uh like stop the German national movement by starting and stopping wars, but I'm not exactly sure.

[00:23:12]Wait, they have two battalions. What? It does not seem like they have two battalions.

[00:23:18]Do they do they actually have two different armies? This is their first battalion.

[00:23:24]This is also their first battalion.

[00:23:26]Okay. So, I'm pretty sure that this is actually just a bug and these are two of the exact same army that's getting double counted in that UI. Yeah, it is.

[00:23:34]Okay. It's time to treaty with Prussia. Getting an alliance and 64 or 6,400 a week. The alliance should help us conquer more things if we want to try to give them to Prussia for more money. But for now, the alliance is also just going to be important for potentially fighting Russia or whatever.

[00:23:58]Okay, there we go. We complete the path to liberalism. And we also get our treaty with Prussia signed for 25 years.

[00:24:09]So that's pretty much for as long as we are going to need it for. Maybe I only should have signed that for 15 years. In fact, I don't know. Probably we we can probably just fight Russia for 25 years.

[00:24:21]I think I'm pretty fine with that.

[00:24:23]Uh I don't know. We're going to need a lot of acceptance to try to buy like both Posen and West Pson if we want to try to form Poland and Lithuania without fighting Prussia. I guess we'll see how possible that really is.

[00:24:36]Let's say I guess we can't liberate Poland until we actually annex this Poland.

[00:24:41]H I guess like plus 500 is so little government expenses. I might as well do this and try to ferment some unrest in Russia. I don't think it's going to do too much of importance, but maybe we can get that Polish national like over 50% activism, which would be pretty nice.

[00:24:58]Guess I'm going to start supporting separatism to get it over 50. It's at 62 now. I guess I should declare some rivalries. I'm going to rival like everyone in the southern Balkans and I guess some random like small Italian countries to get a bunch of influence I'm going to use to improve relations with couple of countries that I think could be important. I'm going to conquer Schwarzburg slowly trying to improve my relations with uh Poland. Once we get them to 20, we can take on their debt and then annex them because we need to get to 50 relations to annex.

[00:25:31]Apparently, I somehow didn't lose Krakow in Westfallia, which is strange. I'm very confident that that wasn't Yeah, that was part of the agreement. Well, that doesn't really make any sense.

[00:25:42]Uh, in my testing, I like did some tests where I tried to see how many states it would take for me to buy over and when I actually like send the treaty, it didn't give me overions. So, that was a little bit weird. And I'm wondering if these things are somehow connected and state transfers are a little bit bugged in 1.12 or 1.13.

[00:26:03]I think they could be potentially very interesting.

[00:26:08]I'm renegotiating my old treaty with Prussia to take in a joint power block.

[00:26:13]I'll also do mutual trade privileges actually don't mean anything in this.

[00:26:17]So, um I guess I can just give them stuff from me and then ask for a little bit of money. Not very much, of course, cuz we don't have like a ton of acceptance, but we can ask for 1,200 or so. No. Oh, wait. No, cuz this is a renegotiation.

[00:26:34]They don't want to do that, but we can get like 600, which I think is probably worth doing. Oh, Prussia also just invites me into the Zulverine. I don't actually know if I would have joined the Zulrin without that because I think maybe the renegotiation would have waited for it to complete because otherwise I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been able to accept that offer they gave me and it would have like been pretty annoying. I guess that's lucky.

[00:26:54]It's also weird that they sent it at that exact time. But yeah, whatever. Now we're in the Zulverine. That's going to be really good for being in a big market. We'll have to worry about weird good prices anymore. Yeah, going to be so nice to not have to worry about good prices being super strange anymore. I need to remove the trade privileges because they are making me fail to follow the treaty. Okay, they declined that. I guess I will take out a little bit of the money transfer and then offer that to them. There we go. I'm going to sign a treaty with Poland because I'm trying to get up to 50 relations with them. I know that that's kind of a lot of debt, but because of our money transfer, I should have handled that much debt pretty easily. Yeah, just hit 50 relations with Poland. I've been delaying declaring a war until I get Poland annexed.

[00:27:44]Um, don't want to do either of those laws the industrials are supporting.

[00:27:49]Okay. The Krakowian Polish Union. Nice.

[00:27:55]Yes, definitely together for Poland.

[00:27:58]Now we actually have a full state, which is pretty nice.

[00:28:03]Guess it's time to annex uh Galissia Lotoia now. Try and let's not actually add that wgle yet so that Russia doesn't join or whatever. We'll wait till the last second to add any WGLE any extra Wargles. But um yeah, Russia's kind of close to joining.

[00:28:23]What was I thinking? Oh yeah, we just want to take this country over. It would be nice little piece of expansion. Uh I should not have this much construction going right now. Day before the war is going to start, adding in conquer Ukavina. I'm gonna enlistment efforts and start doing some conscripts.

[00:28:45]First battle for East Galysia. We are winning. Very nice. Interesting that their capital is Bukavina. Unfortunate, I guess. The North German Federation just formed, which is um kind of bad, I think. But also, it's kind of good because I guess it means Germany's going to be stronger.

[00:29:03]But it means we don't have as many opportunities to sell them states.

[00:29:08]Yeah, it's going to be a little tougher now to sell them states because they already own most of the states.

[00:29:15]They occupied all of Mary. I guess since Persia is in the war for some reason, the war doesn't get instantated. I don't know why Persia joined this war, but they did join it. So, yeah. Anyways, now we are a little bit bigger. I guess I can form into Galissia Lotoia.

[00:29:37]Um 5% Polish pops.

[00:29:42]I become radical. I think I'm fine with that in exchange for getting Ukrainian as a primary culture. So, I meant to record some things, but it doesn't really matter. Basically, I established this company and um a truce with Mulavia is up. I don't really know why we had to choose from Mulavia, but we did. And now it's up. We're going to conquer Mulavia with the help of the North German Federation. So, for that, we're going to swap over to a little bit of a different government. Like this, maybe.

[00:30:09]Yep, that looks good.

[00:30:11]Now, we're going to fight Mulavia. We're going to try to use some Russian help to do this. Not Russian help, North German help.

[00:30:22]Um yeah, we're going to call them in against Russia. That is the plan.

[00:30:29]We will call them as a ally.

[00:30:34]And then I will uh liberate Poland and conquer Litva. So I get a little bit of a coastline, which will be pretty nice.

[00:30:47]Just have a mini little coastline.

[00:30:51]Looks like they added a wargo against Northern Fed, which is going to be really useful.

[00:30:57]Okay, front advantage is looking pretty solid for us at the start of this war.

[00:31:01]Uh, should I go rapid advance? No, actually front advantage is kind of low.

[00:31:05]We'll just let Prussia and Russia fight it out using our troops. That seems pretty good.

[00:31:13]to build up another government administration or I should actually be building these in East Galysia because that's the state that needs more taxation capacity or oh actually I should just swap up to filing cabinets.

[00:31:25]That's going to be the way.

[00:31:27]Why is my deficit so bad? I don't really know. H goods for military upkeep is kind of expensive. I mean I could just like let Prussia fight the war completely, but I don't know that I trust them to win without my help. So, I guess I'm going to stay mobilized.

[00:31:44]Try to get full occupation of Lithuania.

[00:31:46]Now, we just need one of the Polish states and then we'll be enforcing against Russia. Once we enforce against Russia, of course, Mulavia will be very, very easy.

[00:31:57]Looks like we need like one more battle in Warsaw to occupy it. So, that's very good. This war should be pretty easy W.

[00:32:05]We got off to a pretty lucky start in this run. And I mean it wasn't like that lucky necessarily, but the fact we were able to like do that stuff with Prussia to like get the alliance and stuff really uh skyrocketed our stuff.

[00:32:19]I think even without the like free independence, we you know, we would have been able to conquer all this in one if we didn't get free independence. So that would have been kind of nice. So I'm not sure like how much the free independence really helped me, but uh it's of course overall has gone pretty well.

[00:32:37]Um, yeah. I mean, I'm pretty happy with this performance in 1854.

[00:32:42]It's h very good.

[00:32:45]Very, very good to be getting Poland and annex in just a moment. Russia just capitulated out. Nice. Now, Muldovia proposes a white piece. Of course, I'm not going to give them a white piece.

[00:32:56]They could. It would give me some infamy savings, but I think I want to have their state.

[00:33:03]Yeah. Okay. Okay, we get Mulavia and Lithuania and I should get a Yep, we get an event to annex Poland.

[00:33:11]So, that is pretty nice.

[00:33:14]Hopefully, the other integrating reg Yeah, the other regional administration integration is about to go away. So, that'll be good.

[00:33:22]You don't We don't even have these states incorporated. So, yeah, it's pretty bad that I'm running this much of a bureaucracy deficit right now. I guess that's a little bit better now.

[00:33:31]It's still not great. H still is only 500 pounds like this, but I don't know that I want to do it. The only person I really want to foster Polish radicals in, right, is Prussia. At this point, I don't think Russia will really have any anymore.

[00:33:46]I guess I can now form Poland, which is going to be pretty nice. Give me a bunch of claims. No claims over here, but we have claims on all of our border with uh Prussia, which is pretty nice.

[00:34:02]I do need some sort of war in order to I need like some sort of reason to invade Prussia though because we have our alliance treaty.

[00:34:11]I'm going to start trying to incorporate Warsaw and then I'll slowly try and work on getting the bureaucracy to incorporate the rest. I guess it's going to be a little tough.

[00:34:23]might not even be worth incorporating necessarily because my GDP per capita is not super high, especially in like areas except for West Galissia. So, I don't know how worth it is to incorporate everything else, but I'm going to try to incorporate everything else, I think.

[00:34:43]What law should I go for?

[00:34:46]Right of assembly.

[00:34:48]Yeah, I just want a powerful or I want like a happy trade unions. I think that's going to be nice to have. Could I get Britain some investment rights in me? I think that would be good. I just, you know, want to have some buildings.

[00:34:58]Having Britain investing in me seems like a pretty good thing. I have very little point of keeping those states remaining in Germany. So, I'm just going to give it to Prussia in exchange for a little bit of money. Except Okay, it only gave one of them.

[00:35:10]So, I guess there's some there are some really weird opportunities to like scam the AI here. I'm just going to give them the other state so that I don't like abuse that too much. I already got like double use out of Westfallia on accident. But yeah, that seems pretty good enough.

[00:35:26]Guess I'll do uh chem bleaching or no, I should maybe start going like pan nationalism because I think I will start forming Poland Lithuania soon. So, we want to get expanding the Commonwealth going. Oh, the German Empire formed.

[00:35:39]Interesting.

[00:35:42]Um yeah, we're going to eventually want to fight them, but yeah, they're a little bit stronger now. This is one of the things German Empire doesn't have to take all S lrain to form anymore because Oberle no longer is a split state with uh Marin and I know it was like that before in like before 1.10 and 1.9 but the reason you couldn't form Germany then is cuz Oberleian was actually a part of just regular SIA. Now there's an extra state.

[00:36:10]Okay, it's time for another war with Russia.

[00:36:14]I thought about becoming a major power, but I actually don't want to be a major power for this war is what I have decided.

[00:36:21]So, I'm going to start out with the war goal of liberate Ukraine and then we're going to call in Germany for become subject because otherwise we are not going to invade Germany for a while because of our 14-year remain on the binding period of that treaty. We need to become a protectorate of Germany.

[00:36:47]Then I'm going to liberate Bellarus as well. Then I'm going to conquer Vnius and I'm going to transfer the Baltic governorates and that is going to be my war with Russia.

[00:37:02]I guess I will primary liberate Bellarus and then I'll put some troops on the front. And yeah, things are looking pretty solid right now. I mean, the front advantage is not like great for me, but I'll get some troops going here.

[00:37:16]I don't know how much Germany's going to mobilize for this war. Looks like Russia did add a war goal against them, but not too many. Um, all enlistment efforts like this. All this is incorporated actually. Yeah, I think these are decent states to have enlistment efforts on though. So, I'll just go like that and then like that. I don't think those states will fully conscript, so I should be fine. I have a little bit extra. go general training and then defense as well. We should be able to win this war. I think it's going to be a little bit tough, but they have a war goal against Germany, so it's not like we're going to capitulate out or anything. Early battles are actually not going too great for me. Arguably, I should just let them try to like occupy one of my states.

[00:38:05]I think I kind of want to try that. I'm just kind of hoping that they'll try to like take something like Lithuania and then if they can get Lithuania, they'll get a direct border and with the direct border they'll be I mean I think Germany's going to be much more likely to actually allocate troops to the front. I guess what I can do is demand humiliation from Switzerland and then call in Germany. Oh wait, actually I can't call them in very easily. Oh, Sway War regime change in Switzerland. Yeah, the idea is this shouldn't get Germany to mobilize and then I can go on the front now and be happy because then once this war is over, Germany's troops should just go onto the front.

[00:38:44]I'm going to get a support independence from Austria and uh kind of anyone I can like I want one from France, but apparently we don't share a good enough interest here. I don't know like how they only have a level two interest in like central Europe or the Balkans, but I guess they do, which is quite unfortunate.

[00:39:08]Uh I guess I can like look at their diplomacy, but yeah, they only have level three interest in a few places.

[00:39:14]They're just like 300 involvement away from getting it in central Europe, unfortunately.

[00:39:20]though I have to propose peace deals in this war every single month or else uh Germany and Russia will sign a peace deal. Uh it's weird with the first war you declare after you become a subject of someone they can negotiate the peace deal without you but you can sign send peace deals which means they can't send another peace deal if you sent a peace deal. It's pretty weird just having to absolutely spam peace deals or else Russia will propose a bad peace deal but it's what I got to do.

[00:39:50]Um, it doesn't always happen on like the first of the month, so I kind of like have to spam this when it's nearby or else play on like really slow speeds.

[00:39:59]Just got Ukraine occupied. So now Russia's going to be pretty close to accepting this. Yeah, they're not quite going to accept this in time, I think.

[00:40:06]But like next proposal they should accept at some point.

[00:40:12]Just going to keep spamming this. Yeah, the next proposal they will accept.

[00:40:16]There we go.

[00:40:18]We get our peace deal through. Very nice. Now I'm going to start damaging relations with Bellarus and Ukraine because I am going to want to annex them or conquer significant portions of their country.

[00:40:31]I have 32 months until my obligation to Germany runs out. So that's pretty much the time until we want to declare our war.

[00:40:42]France is so close to having enough involvement to support my independence.

[00:40:46]kind of sad that they just don't quite have the amount we need.

[00:40:51]Denmark. Can I get Denmark to support my independence? No.

[00:40:56]I need higher involvement in Northern Europe or something. Maybe I don't know what would be best.

[00:41:05]I'm going to invade uh Hungary for protectorate because they are bankrupt again, I believe. Yeah, they're bankrupt and in default. So, they're going to be a pretty cheap protectorate.

[00:41:17]Um, which is going to be pretty nice to get Hungary as a protectorate.

[00:41:22]Yeah. I mean, Hungary is pretty big.

[00:41:25]It's like almost as big of as our population, and it's a lot of infamy to be able to spend on a pretty efficient way to spend it. So, I'm pretty happy with that. Oh, wow. Uh, the UK joined the play.

[00:41:41]Okay.

[00:41:43]Well, that's maybe Oh, but we have to give Germany the United Baltic provinces to get them to join or a state.

[00:41:58]I h I think I should give them the United Baltic provinces because then we can get UK on our side for those for the war probably.

[00:42:11]Um, yeah, I'm pretty sure. Interesting. We can get Italy on our side for return Luca. I don't want to have any Wles against them, though. So, I'll just give BR I'll just give Germany, United Baltic Provinces. I know it's kind of unfortunate that we're like double pay infamy for that. But this way we get um UK to hate Germany hopefully, at least for now. Yeah, it looks like they might not end up hitting each other long term because right now attitude score is less than minus a thousand, but we'll see. I should really just demobilize. My immobilization is not really going to help this war and I I just be better off helping out my own construction a little bit more. Hey, we got Hungary as a subject. Pretty nice.

[00:42:55]Apparently, this war is going to continue though because Germany went for liberate Nova Scotia and Italy went for Return Luca. How is the relations between UK and Germany doing? I mean, they're doing worse than like last time I showed it. It's going to be really good if they can go to like poor relations, but that looks pretty unlikely. I'm going to try to damage relations with Germany because uh we need to declare independence from them.

[00:43:24]So, yeah, now relations are at 40, which is a little bit lower. Still kind of gaining a lot of relations though. I guess I can uh withdraw from the streety. That should help reduce relations growth a little bit. Yeah, there we go. Now we're losing two a week or two a day, I mean, or 2%. That's going to be good. How long is left on our obligation at this point? Only seven weeks.

[00:43:50]Oh, the truce. The war's up. Okay, so I guess I kind of need to find a way to get my relations down quickly if possible. I mean, we have infamy, so it doesn't really matter that we end or that we try to do things quickly, right?

[00:44:05]I don't have a good overlapping interest with Britain. That's unfortunate that Britain doesn't have good interest anywhere. France's involvement in central Europe is ticking up. They've got a navy somewhere that's reaching a billion places seemingly only getting 384 out of 5,000 or whatever. But it's going to be enough to where going to get over 2500 involvement which should mean I can get France as a supporter of my independence unless they like stop that after the Civil War is over or something. Hopefully they don't. Dang, they moved their navy out. That's That's so sad.

[00:44:47]Yeah, I wish I could get France more involvement in central Europe, but I don't think that I have a very good way to do that.

[00:44:59]Yeah, I don't don't think there's a good way to just give France more involvement in central Europe, unfortunately.

[00:45:07]only like either France signed a treaty with Austria or Germany could just get some Austrian territory that could maybe fix things. It's kind of the only thing I can think of.

[00:45:21]I kind of need to sign a treaty with Russia, I think, because I think Russia is going to be kind of the only major country that's going to be able to support my independence.

[00:45:32]I don't think I want to expel diplomats.

[00:45:34]I'm just I'm going to start supporting separatism, I guess, because I need to try to reduce my relations with Germany faster.

[00:45:40]Um, I want to pick up Lil Pop, Lowi, Rowenstein. Oh, I need five steel mills here to get Lil Pop. Maybe I should uh start working on that. Yeah, I'm going to start trying to build up some shipyards because I think it's kind of maybe the only way we can get some support independences going because France has been just moving their navy into central Europe sometimes, but they just never do it long enough to get up to 2,500 involvement.

[00:46:06]So, I think I need to try to get my own fleet and get involvement in Western Europe.

[00:46:13]Uh, I think it's the way. We still got like seven years until our infamy goes down to zero. So, pretty good amount of time to build up a fleet. I mean, it's not like enough time necessarily for a huge fleet, but we can get something going hopefully enough for the like 2,000 involvement size fleet we need.

[00:46:33]Um, yeah, I think a 2,000 involvement, please. Not a very big fleet. Actually, I can try to station my army in the Rhineland. That might give me a pretty good amount of involvement here. It's not doing anything right now.

[00:46:49]What if I mobilize? Does that make it do something? No.

[00:46:58]Interesting. It's not doing anything.

[00:47:02]Kind of thought that would. I don't know how the rules about getting involvement from armies work.

[00:47:08]Okay, I guess it's not going to give me any involvement.

[00:47:13]Well, we got our fleet stuff. I'm going to put none on supply or I'll put low on supply ships and then I'll just try to build up as many ship with the lines as possible.

[00:47:24]So, France is getting invaded by Germany. This is a good opportunity to invade Germany. Uh let's quickly swap over to a government like this one and then that'll make Russia more willing to accept a treaty. Very good.

[00:47:39]Now, we're going to declare independence.

[00:47:43]And I've uh turned on some PMs like balloon reconnaissance and extra supplies. We're going to try to beat up Prussia here. I'll also establish my second company as Lil Pop Rowi Loenstein.

[00:47:57]I guess I'll join France in their war as well so that they don't like accept a peace deal from Germany or at least they're less likely to. Now it's time to add our wargles and go for West Prussia, Oberleian, East Sisia, and Posen.

[00:48:14]Then I will also transfer the United Baltic provinces and make that a primary war goal. It's going to be my goals against Germany.

[00:48:24]Um, looks like France is losing against Germany, but we are uh in a decent advantage on Aron, which is kind of good.

[00:48:34]Like a 30 advantage right now. That's pretty solid. I guess I'll do rapid advance and strategic objective towards Brandenburgg. Yeah, I'll just strategic objective Brandenburgg. Maybe we should do like Saxony or something more specific.

[00:48:50]Okay. Uh this first battle we're losing quite a bad casualty ratio. Unfortunate.

[00:48:56]Okay, this battle in uh Upper Sisia or Yeah, I think that's upper SIA is going pretty well. This battle in Saxony is also going pretty well.

[00:49:06]Um once we get these troops from Russia, that'll be nice.

[00:49:10]Really be nice if the UK would allocate more troops to help France because we really don't want France to leave or to lose.

[00:49:19]Hopefully they won't.

[00:49:22]They really don't want to capitulate, that's for sure. Minus 500 capitulation is I think is the highest I've seen from anything.

[00:49:30]Well, our current is like super good right now. 70 advantage is uh really really good. Although these battles are not like acting like a 70 advantage, I feel like I mean I guess we we did just get neater sle.

[00:49:45]Well, this is unfortunate. France is looking like they're about to capitulate out of the war. Yeah, France just white pieced. Okay, but we already have occupation in Brandenburgg, so it's not over. I guess technically France didn't capitulate. They just white pieced, but you know that's basically capitulation.

[00:50:03]Um, it's really not, but I mean it sort of is in a way.

[00:50:10]Oh, that's our final battle for Brandenburgg. Okay, so we win. At least we get Brandenburgg. Now we just need to hold until Germany capitulates. Hopefully before Russia does. Yes, Germany is definitely capitulating before Russia. Okay, Germany is willing to accept this peace deal. Very nice.

[00:50:30]We win. And now we are a major power and we're independent from Germany. Well, we've still got quite a bit of infamy, and I'm going to make that go up even more by trying to conquer the states we need. Uh, yeah, the remaining states we need. It's going to cost a decent amount of infamy, but I'm going to do it. Going to conquer Rodna and Volinia. Looks like they're both going to be in the same war probably. Although, maybe Bellarush will just back down.

[00:51:03]Um, but like Ukraine looks likely to join this play. And if they do, take Bellarus. Uh, yep. Okay. Ukraine joins the play. So, we're mobilizing conscripts and going all out to try and get um, Crodna and Bohemia.

[00:51:22]After I get those states, I can form Poland Lithuania, which will give me claims on like Minsk and Keev. So, I can chill for a while. War looks like it's going to be pretty easy. Yeah, we got like a 40 advantage. I mean, it costs a lot of money to mobilize as many conscripts, but it's pretty fine, I think. Um, Hungarian positivist revolt is a little bit scary, but as long as I just win this war quickly enough, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

[00:51:51]Yeah. Okay, that war's started, but it should be fine. I should stop trying to construct into new fleet. Let's just make sure everything's merged up into one fleet. Okay. Need to do this manually for some reason.

[00:52:05]Just do that quickly. Merge it all up.

[00:52:09]And then I guess I'll just send this over to like Western Europe. Bellarus is about to hit capitulation desire. Giving me Rodna. Volia is going to take a little bit longer because yeah, it took a little bit longer to occupy it. And Ukraine's a bit bigger, so it's harder to get to like a large number of casualties or occupation on them. But pretty soon they will be giving me Bohemia as well. I should probably try to deal with this Hungarian revolt pretty soon.

[00:52:40]Yeah, definitely going to need to go deal with that. Okay, we can get our peace deal done as well. So that's good.

[00:52:46]In form Poland, Lithuania now the new Commonwealth. We get a bunch of claims which is going to be pretty nice. Guess I should take off my enlistment efforts decrees now and put them onto something more important like um what's it called? Monopolizing things.

[00:53:07]Yeah, that seems good. I guess I can play some rivalries now. I will rival um should I revival Russia? I don't think yet because I think yeah, Russia's consiliatory with me right now. So, I don't want to rival them. I will stop improving relations, though. And then I'll rival Italy and the Netherlands cuz I need some influence. I want to get that max infamy decay modifier cuz wait, is infamy decay modifier bugged?

[00:53:34]Um, you have to like reload to make it appear. Okay, I think it might be bugged because yeah, it's not showing. I guess the question is just like is it actually applying or is it just invisible? like is it invisible or is it actually broken? And um it's looking like it's broken because I think I would have gotten a point 2 decrease by now if it wasn't broken.

[00:54:00]Yeah, definitely. Okay, that's an interesting bug. I wonder how that could have bugged. I just checked on a new save and apparently infamy decay is normally working with the influence, but it's just not in this case. I don't know what I did wrong. I'm going to delete some of my construction sectors outside of my main states. And then I'm going to swap up to I'm going to start swapping up to steel frame because it's a lot more efficient per input in terms of the outputs you get of construction.

[00:54:33]Yeah, I have the colonial affairs institutions. So I guess I'm going to send my navy down here cuz I did just research quinine and then I should be able to start a colony down here in South Cameroon. Completion criteria for Christ of Nations is a little bit strange here. All Polish Lithuanian states are owned by yourself and are in Poland.

[00:54:56]I don't know how we haven't completed this cuz I thought we got this journal entry. I only had like one state here.

[00:55:01]So, I should have just insta completed this. I tested and if I give away all of the states that are outside of Poland, I actually complete this journal entry.

[00:55:09]But the require the the event bonus is not worth releasing all of that as subjects. I'm going to start my colony down here in South Cameroon.

[00:55:19]Uh it shouldn't be isolated, right? It should get unisolated, right? Is there no ports in any of my states? No, there is.

[00:55:27]Um it's strange how long it's been isolated for. H weird.

[00:55:34]Wonder what's the problem. I don't know.

[00:55:38]I forgot market access was bugged. I just had to reload the save. And I believe that fixed it. No, it did not. Okay. I just realized we're still in the German market, by the way, which is kind of surprising that Germany has not kicked me out of the Zulvverine yet. In fact, it's very surprising that Germany has not kicked me out of the Zulverine yet.

[00:55:55]Considering they absolutely hate me.

[00:55:58]They hate me so much. But they have not kicked me out of the zverine. My colony is growing now. Interesting. I don't know why it wasn't growing at first, but it is growing now. We get the red scare because Austria flipped communist.

[00:56:10]That's interesting that Austria just flipped communist. They got a big communist movement. I guess they just decided to go counter republic to make it happy.

[00:56:19]I've been trying to work on like invading Minsk or whatever, but Germany is like uh way too close to joining that play.

[00:56:25]Yeah, I don't think we can survive Germany joining.

[00:56:29]Uh yeah, I don't think we can survive fighting Germany at the same time. I kind of want to fight Prussia, but also I'm scared. And I think it's probably better to just eco up for another while until we're actually getting close to running out of infamy and go for like East Prussia plus humiliation so they can fight Bellarus and Ukraine. Italy seems to have broken off their alliance with Germany. So I think this might be a pretty good opportunity to go for the war.

[00:56:59]Yeah, it's still going to be kind of tough, but with the help of some enlistment efforts, decrees, I think this should be a pretty doable war.

[00:57:10]Something like that. And then I go I think I might have some Yeah, we have some line infantry conscripts I need to get rid of. But I go like half skirmish, half shrapnel as conscripts. And this should be a very strong thing to beat Prussia with hopefully.

[00:57:32]Uh I guess I can't really have that much trap. And then let's do a little bit less like that. That should be good.

[00:57:40]Rays go on the front.

[00:57:43]And then yeah, I guess it's just a matter of fighting this war. It's going to be kind of a tough war.

[00:57:52]Um, we were kind of fine with like a white piece here, but I would prefer to try to actually enforce this. My average stats are a lot better than theirs. Oh, they have really low org cuz a bunch of their armies are getting sent into uh East Prussia. Okay, that's kind of a bit of a problem for them. But, uh, I guess I can take full advantage of that. Yeah, I guess I just want to try to strategic objective Brandenburg so we don't accidentally free their troops.

[00:58:18]Although, even if we do free their troops, it wouldn't be that big of a deal because that would be enforcing the Wargle. Yeah, they should have like super low supply, so we should just kind of win. Except that we don't have like enough troops to fight all the battles at once, which is kind of a bit of a problem.

[00:58:33]Um hopefully we don't get another like huge battle like this one that's just letting me lose block because yeah, that's not great to just be losing block. Okay, it seems fine. Yeah, I think I'm fine. Just don't want to lose PL. That's kind of a bad thing if I were to lose PL.

[00:58:53]The market is kind of terrible without Russia. Oh, I did get kicked out of the block. So, I'm going to have to fix my market after this war.

[00:59:03]But yeah, we should be fine without the huge military costs. It's just the huge military costs that are making everything bad. I think that's the final battle for Brandenburg. Okay, this is going to be a quick war. Yeah, we've already occupied their capital. All right, got to split in half because the front has gotten too big. Um or like the fronts are too separated now. So, it's two fronts.

[00:59:30]I got to deal with both.

[00:59:33]Okay, we're about to sign uh full peace deal with Germany.

[00:59:39]Now I should um fully demobilize one of these armies and then set the other one to stop having any conscripts because they are not worth having right now. I need to fund a little bit of an economy at least and yeah the conscripts are going to make that quite difficult. Oh um h well that's weird. This army is not exactly the most useful thing.

[01:00:13]Yeah, I wish it was not stuck there.

[01:00:17]Change home HQ. No, I can't do that either.

[01:00:21]Okay.

[01:00:23]Can I create a new army here and then tell it to transfer troops to that?

[01:00:29]Yes. Okay. So, that is what we will do.

[01:00:33]Yep. Okay, that works. I guess except that that counts as demobilizing apparently. Okay. Um what can I do?

[01:00:46]I cannot do much.

[01:00:49]Creating a new army real quick just so I can try my best to deal with this. Yeah, I think this is what must be done. Can I just like uh merge you into this? There we go. And then I can delete the conscripts. Perfect. That works.

[01:01:10]Great. Uh I lose all my supply, but I have an army at least. It looks like services is not a good consumption tax anymore, which is interesting that that changed. I wouldn't think that the German market would have affected the value of a services's consumption tax very much, but it does seem to have affected it quite a decent amount.

[01:01:33]Um, I need to try to get back to building buildings because our economy is in a little bit of a strange state right now. I guess trade centers are probably very strong right now.

[01:01:48]Yeah, I'll try to spam up some trade centers in Warsaw, I guess.

[01:01:53]Probably want like 20.

[01:01:57]Why is my GDP like so bad? Wow, leaving the German market is so bad for us. I guess it's pretty bad for Prussia, too.

[01:02:03]Yeah, I'm going to try to do a naval invasion on the Estonian uprising because it needs to stop existing.

[01:02:13]Yeah. Okay. Oh, it's going to take a while for my navy to get back up. Yeah, I kind of thought I was going to do with one of these, but yeah, these actually don't have any people in them. So, that makes sense why it was not able to pick any of those. I'm gonna conquer Minsk.

[01:02:26]That'll be pretty good to complete the expanding the common journal entry. We need to take Minsk, Kev, and one other state that is either a Ukrainian or Bellarussian homeland. Definitely, we want it to be a Ukrainian one because we have claims on Ukraine, but not on Bellarus.

[01:02:44]Okay, now I'm going to add in some more goals against Ukraine. Take Kev and Odessa.

[01:02:52]That'll be the states we need for expanding the Commonwealth.

[01:02:57]Oh, uh, Italy joined the play against me.

[01:03:02]Okay, that's not exactly ideal, but Italy, I don't imagine, has like a huge navy. Yeah, they don't have too much navy, so I don't think they'll send over too many troops here. I guess I just need to get some conscripts going because this war doesn't look like it's going to be super easy. Get a few conscripts going to make sure we win this.

[01:03:24]Um, yeah, 12 advantage is not amazing, but it should be pretty winnable with shrapnel losing the first battle. Okay, just barely though. Just add some more shrapnel.

[01:03:38]Um, Ukraine tries to push me and of course it's not going to go well for them.

[01:03:43]And most of these battles except for that first one in Minsk are going good for me. Got both Bellarus and Ukraine's capital occupied. So yeah, they're going to beating pretty soon. Capitulation desire for Ukraine is pretty close to just hitting. So I guess that's how we're going to win this. And then I'll probably just demobilize against Italy because Italy cannot land me. I think get greater Commonwealth given me Ukrainian and Bellar Russian as primary cultures. Very nice. Now we're pink.

[01:04:16]Uh yeah, I have to incorporate these states cuz we didn't have the primary cultures when we conquered them. So claim did not result in a instant incorporation unfortunately. But for the rest of Ukraine and stuff, it will.

[01:04:29]Actually, I think just the rest of Ukraine is what I have claims on, right?

[01:04:32]I don't think I have claims on anything else. Apparently, I have claims on South Cameroon. I'm gonna pause ship construction because I think it's just kind of a waste of money right now. Uh, I'm just gonna try to focus on some government construction. Maybe ports will be good. No, no, ports are not good. I just need to figure out what I need to construct to fix my economy.

[01:04:54]H sulfur mines maybe. No, maybe just some railways in these states will be good, at least for now. Oh, Italy's trying to do a Len invasion of me right here.

[01:05:07]Um, I guess I need to mobilize against that for now. I don't think I've seen the uh India revolt go to so few countries.

[01:05:16]Like these are all very big countries that got formed here. Uh, super huge Suja, Drur, Marwar. I feel like I never seen Marwar big like this. Actually like any of these three big ones I don't see big.

[01:05:33]The rest of these are pretty normal. I think actually and Bara I don't feel like I see big either. Carnatic, Hindustan and Aad are very normal to be big as well as Bengal of course. I assume this happened a while ago but of course I was so busy just looking at over here that I just didn't look at that. I would be surprised if that India collapsed that recently. Actually I know it's not like forever ago but it could have been quite recently I think.

[01:06:00]Oh, Italy is offering me a white piece.

[01:06:01]Yeah, we definitely take that. I guess I'll make a block since it's so late.

[01:06:05]I'll just make it a trade league.

[01:06:08]Um, yeah, I don't know if this is really worth doing, but I guess I guess 25% trade capacity is actually pretty nice right now. Yeah, I really like having more trade capacity, so that's pretty worth doing. I guess it's actually like 50%, right? Because I get Yeah, 25% from being the block leader of a trade league as well. Also, that's going to help make me make my economy a little bit more normal. I really should try to get rid of tariffs on some things probably like export tariffs on paper.

[01:06:36]Wow, world paper prices are always just so high.

[01:06:40]Yeah. What in the world is this play?

[01:06:44]Germany is going for annex Bellarus.

[01:06:47]The anarchists are wrecking my country.

[01:06:49]We need to stop the anarchists from wrecking our country. So, what we're going to do is pass multiculturalism because I hear the the anarchist quite like that. Uh, I'm going to Yeah, we're going to get the industrialist to help support multiculturalism. And so, that's going to be pretty good. Uh, with the help of that, this should be pretty easy pass. Yeah.

[01:07:09]Um, none of those are really good.

[01:07:15]None of those are good. Okay, this is not an awful multiculturalism odds. Oh, the liberals do not like multiculturalism.

[01:07:24]Okay, I cannot fight that civil war. So, yeah, I guess I'm not actually passing multiculturalism.

[01:07:30]What's something that the anarchist movement likes that everyone else would like? Maybe like right to associate.

[01:07:35]Yeah, that looks pretty popular.

[01:07:37]Don't like this coup. I'm going to try to stop it. Okay, they it did actually fail. Good, good, good. I did not want to have to deal with monarchy or whatever. It's time to take away Russian Bessarabia and Russian Door Bruia. They cannot be having that territory just sitting there. It's uh very very ugly and not allowed anymore. That is now clearly proper Commonwealth territory.

[01:08:07]I don't I don't know how they didn't realize this sooner, but yeah, it's it's got to become part of the Commonwealth.

[01:08:13]I can get Turkey on my side for regime change in Austria. I guess I'll do that then.

[01:08:20]Um, I need to like split this army in half so I can have some go deal with Austria at least a little bit.

[01:08:27]Yeah, may need to use a couple of enlistment efforts. I'll just use one for now.

[01:08:36]Uh, yeah, probably here is where that enlistment effort. No, I need to use more enlistment efforts for sure.

[01:08:44]Yeah. Okay, let's remove our consumption taxes and go very high government wages. Then I can do three.

[01:08:58]And then uh this army needs like most of them. I guess this is really the most important army by far.

[01:09:08]Yeah, just got to try to push into Ingria.

[01:09:12]I can maybe split some off to go down to South Leavonia front. I don't know if I want to do that though.

[01:09:18]This front down here in Basrabia, we're winning like instantly. It's already a 95 advantage.

[01:09:23]So, we're going to get all this pretty quickly. Then I guess I can send this army up to like this front. This army needs to go on defense. Yeah, that front's going to be tough to hold. I just need to hold it though. Looks like Turkey is just kind of free winning against the the Russians because Russia's not allocated anything there.

[01:09:44]All of a sudden, this front's like not easy. They just like put a billion troops here all of a sudden, which is weird.

[01:09:52]I don't know how a billion troops got there all of a sudden.

[01:09:56]Maybe the I need to just go defense on this front and then split like half of it and send this half up to go deal with this front. We need to hold.

[01:10:08]Yeah, I need to hold in a bunch of places. And I guess maybe just let the Ottomans cook. I don't know if the Ottomans are going to be cooking very successfully, though. Looks like the Austria front's actually got good. I should try to push that. I'm trying to push Russian de Brua again because somehow this front is good for us. I guess their troops just have no supply here. Is there like a port in Russian de Bruia? There is, but I guess the port tile. Yeah, the port tile is not there.

[01:10:31]So, I think they can't get supply or something interesting. We're kind of holding off the Russians, but kind of not at the same time. You just get Doa though. We should be enforcing the war. So, that seems like the solution here. Okay, we got De Brua occupied. So, yeah, this is kind of just going to be a matter of time now to win the war. I guess ideally do want to try to get Austria occupied, but it doesn't really matter too much.

[01:11:00]Yeah, if Turkeyy's going to capitulate soon, that'll get rid of Austria's war goal. So, I guess that's not really important. I should just try to deal with the fronts up here. Maybe get more casualties on Russia quicker.

[01:11:12]Okay, peace with Russia achieved. Took over our states. Now, it's time to finish off Ukraine. Return, return, return. And I guess I have like the maneuvers to primary like churnah heave for decent borders even if they back down.

[01:11:37]Really? Russia joins me again or joins against me again.

[01:11:42]Okay, Russia, I guess we're doing this again.

[01:11:46]So Russia's winning in the north, but I'm winning in the Ukraine front, which is really the important front.

[01:11:52]Um, we get a treaty like this with the UK.

[01:11:56]They they sent me a treaty, but I think this Yeah, that would be pretty good for us. Nice.

[01:12:01]I should strategic objective Carke because that is their capital. I'm going to move up one of my armies to this front because we need to hold RIA. It's the only war gole that Russia has directly, which means that once Ukraine leaves the war, it's the war goal we're going to have to try to defend against.

[01:12:18]Ukraine's about to leave the war.

[01:12:21]So, that's going to be pretty nice.

[01:12:23]Yeah, there there's Ukraine out. Now, this is just uh all Commonwealth territory, which is pretty nice.

[01:12:31]Although, they're going to be able to take Crimea pretty easily from me, but other than that, very, very good.

[01:12:38]Russia does not quite want a white piece yet, but they are pretty close to accepting one. Russia offers me a white piece, so I will take it. Um, and then I guess I'll demobilize like all but one stack to deal with this Hungarian revolt. I think I'm going to end off the run here. We got all of our claims used up and we've built up a pretty decent economy. Third GDP in the world, second power. Of course, we have completed the requirements of the not yet lost achievement. So, I am pretty happy with this run. GDP is a little bit low for the year, but it's to be expected. Last time I played Crackkow, there was the investment pool multiplier. Now there's no more investment pool multiplier, which makes these small starts a lot harder to get to high GDPs. I think at least especially for countries that have higher starting tech. I think that the uh investment pool multiplier was more important on high-tech, low starting GDP countries. You could just like invest and do super well. but now much less of the case.

[01:13:46]But yeah, I'm pretty happy with this Commonwealth here.

[01:13:51]I'm really not sure if getting our independence early was actually a good thing because we weren't I mean, I guess because of our shenanigans with Prussia, I think it probably was. But without that, it's uh pretty debatable whether that was a good thing cuz trying to just liberate Galissia Lotoia normally and hoping you get like a Polish ruler on it would have been so nice because they would actually spawn with 50 relations and you wouldn't have a half GI loaria over here with a Ukrainian leader. I think u yeah almost the entire economy is in like Warsaw and West Galysia or not almost the entire economy but like half is in just those two states. These are the two companies I've got. This journal entry is completable by just giving away all your estates except for the ones in Poland, which is quite weird. Anyways, yeah, that's the end of video. So goodbye.
