Totally worth it. I honestly don’t care much for our allies with the exception of Benin. Russia is absolutely horrifying though.

I like the Gallic Empire idea. It suits Frangleterre, and it makes me think of a French Mussolini type figure, harking back to Gaul's traditional Roman roots sort of thing. Fascists love history and empires. If we're nearing the end of this LP, I hope we get an epilogue. I really liked the Hohenzollern one which was set in, or near modern day.

Can't wait for that Shared Burdens run once we move to Stellaris. Alternatively we can turn Fanatic Purifier and murder all the Space Moroccans. Crazycryodude fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Jan 2, 2019 |

For real though, I don't really play Stellaris, so I decided a long time ago that this LP was gonna end in Vic2 or HOI. I feel like 5 games is more than enough for one LP anyways.

So Russia is just gonna shoot itself into space and become a Stagnant Ascendancy come Stellaris, right? Makes sense given their current trajectory.

It's past 1919, all the level 6 Army techs are unlocked. Russia has high literacy and probably researches really quickly. If they have a tech edge there, that'll do a lot of the work.

Russia was defending, which right there is already a MASSIVE and almost unbeatable advantage this late in the game, and then on top of that they probably had a tech edge.

Only if you bring insufficient recon value, like our army did. If your army has 100% recon then enemy's dug in bonus is cut to -1 or -2 at most, instead of the -6 or so that it likely was. Correct army composition is hugely important in the late game and one of the reasons why pure mobilized all infantry armies suck so hard.

You'd think that simple realpolitik would dictate that the rest of the European Great Powers wouldn't want a Russia that spans from the Pacific to Germany.

Not to mention the fact that Germany held of them and the Dual Monarchy for 5 years before finally caving in. We needed time to rest and rebuild our forces, and with the peace treaty, we've got that. Unless something big happens and another world war breaks out in vicky, then I'll probably focus on rebuilding our army and navy for the rest of the game. hashashash fucked around with this message at 11:49 on Jan 2, 2019 |

Vicky 2 doesn't have any proper coalition mechanics like EU4 does, the only thing disincentivising countries from allying with Russia is their BB score. Also: I can't imagine that Vienna stays independent for long.

I know, there's a lot that Vicky 2 doesn't have proper mechanics for. Still doesn't make it less strange from an in-universe perspective.
