Now the US are almost yours, even if it will take a few more decades. And then... conquest of the British Isles, right :D ?
 
What do you think the ETA is on forming the US?
Hmm, I think I'm gonna shoot for around 1700. I don't really know for sure, though.
AWWWW YEAHHHHH :D Next stop,washington DC .
All aboard!
now the big Q is: will you just limit yourself to Americas or will you go for the total WC?
Total WC is completely out fo the question, considering that I don't even own the US and it's the 1600's. I might try and expand into Europe. I don't know yet.
To do a WC will be difficult because its 1640 and he doesn't have Europe, Africa, and Asia. I think he could control the Americas though and be a big and powerful empire.
Yeah, I think that's pretty realistic.
This looks great. Subbed
Awesome!
Who owns Vancouver Island ?
That would be Minnesota.
I think that's Minnesota who owns Vancouver Island.
Good eyes, didn't think anyone would be able to realize that.
Now the US are almost yours, even if it will take a few more decades. And then... conquest of the British Isles, right :D ?
Haha, that's not that bad of an idea, actually.
I like that idea.

Great work looks like create the US in a few updates.
Yep, hopefully we'll some real progress!
 
How to Be Completely Mediocre at Playing Your Own Mod Part 13

Aloha, everyone! It's time for another update. We're closing in on the end, and we should finish strong!
Let's begin. First, I enact the Gold Standard, giving me +.04 inflation reduction.
Then, I take a new, Cabinet. This will greatly increase the speed in which I can form the US, since it gives me -1 infamy a year.

Next, the Incas rebel from Aragon, and I attack.
nOx04.jpg


Easy pickings, if I've ever seen any. They are annexed, and I gain a new CoT.
I also cancel my mission, but my new one is to build up my fleet.
4q6tq.jpg


I get lucky and receive an event giving me -3 infamy while I'm just waiting around.
I take that opportunity to diploannex Georgia and Minnesota.
TDNUR.jpg


Then, I declare war on Deseret. This was actually mostly done so I could stop the rebels on Vancouver Island from succeeding.
cNiIJ.jpg


I take 6 of their provinces, leaving them with about 10 remaining.

After that, I complete my mission, and get a new one to vassalize Indiana.
I attack.
GNzIK.jpg


Indiana and their ally Kentucky are both vassalized.
My new mission is to convert Illinois.
I attack.
DCenu.jpg


Illinois is converted and vassalized.
I then spend the next several months doing menial missions while I wait for another decent opportunity for an attack.

One shows up when I get the mission to vassalize Oklahoma.
Also, check out my color on the technology map mode. Top of the world in everything!
ka1VE.jpg


I attack Oklahoma and happen to get a cool event giving me -2 infamy.
tOSEO.jpg


Oklahoma is easily vassalized.
Ulyrs.jpg


Then, I take a slider move towards defensive.
K9SGb.jpg


I also get a new king. Too bad he sucks...
5gzqe.jpg


I get the mission to vassalize North Carolina at one point, so I attack 'em.
Maryland joins in too.
WMCpv.jpg


During the war I get a slightly better king.
COor6.jpg


I vassalize North Carolina, and get some new meaningless missions.
gbaMd.jpg


I take 4 provinces off of Maryland, and get a mission to vassalize Dakota.
I attack them. They are the last OPM not my vassal in America.
g6Eif.jpg


I get a decent king, administration-wise, during this war.
I'll take it. War exhaustion is really taking it's toll, in the meantime.
BKHpi.jpg


And finally, I vassalize Dakota.
NxLkM.jpg


The only nations left in the US are me, my vassals, Maryland, and Deseret.
There can be only one.
 
if you go that way - please don't forget Puerto Rico, Guantanamo and a countless number of islands across the Pacific + free Liberia ;P
 
Before I reply, I would just like to say that this is my 1000th post. Hooray.
Anyways, on to the feedback.
Oh your so close. I think it will be part 15 that you have all the provinces for USA.
Just about, but maybe you should read this update.
Eagle!!!!!!!
'Murica!
Thanks!
Hawaii and Alaska are not needed to from the USA? That should be :)
A king in America???
No, they are not needed, since I figure it would be no fun colonizing them or taking them from a nation you have no casus belli on would not be very cool.
if you go that way - please don't forget Puerto Rico, Guantanamo and a countless number of islands across the Pacific + free Liberia ;P
Hmm, I think you may be on to something here. I like it!
 
How to Be Completely Mediocre at Playing Your Own Mod Part 14

Alright guys, time for a totally not special or in any way important update.
Let's begin.
First off, I get a new ruler, who is decent in the one field that I really need, administration.
o1tdS.jpg


Then, I annex 3 of vassals, Indiana, North Carolina, and Illinois.
Bbj1l.jpg


Then, it is time for another war with Deseret, who are becoming steadily weaker and weaker, thanks to my conquests.
v0ZE3.jpg


I also get a new national idea, and I take Smithian Economics, giving me some bonus production efficiency.
aDL2N.jpg


Deseret actually manages to destroy one of my armies, but I get peace and take 3 provinces off of them.
ZCJhd.jpg


I take a slider move towards land, since naval really only helps with colonization, which I don't need much help with anymore.
MPKIX.jpg


Then, my ruler dies and I get a new, excellent one in his stead.
I'll take it.
LpAnG.jpg


I then declare war on Maryland. Hopefully I can finish them off in two wars.
DK9iB.jpg


Of course, I suppose one for works just fine.
Maryland is annexed.
6P2zA.jpg


Now that I own Maryland's old lands, I can create the Northern Union! Of course, it's not that much help now, but I'll take what I can get.
I also cancel my mission and get a new one to annex Oklahoma.
ZUKQ0.jpg


I diploannex Kentucky soon afterwards. Only 2 vassals and Deseret are left.
OD3J2.jpg


Now, it is time for war with Deseret.
This time, I think that I'll try and isolate their capital from their Canadian lands.
nCyzi.jpg


And, I manage to do exactly that. The only American land they have is their capital in Sacramento.
3PKjx.jpg


I also get a new line of infantry, basically making me superior to every nation on the Earth.
7rDZW.jpg


After doing nothing for 5 years, I attack Deseret again. This time, I will take their capital.
ZWeR5.jpg


During the war, I get a completely stupendous ruler. Wow, what a man!
PHZnD.jpg


Anyways, I take Sacramento, as well as 4 of Deseret's Canadian provinces.
Only 2 vassals left in America.
eJPSr.jpg


I make a slider move towards land again while waiting for time to pass by.
WQwlT.jpg


And then, I annex my 2 remaining vassals.
I now own all of the USA.
6Hx56.jpg


And now, the moment you've all been waiting for.











I present to you,












TheUnitedStatesofAmerica!

Asy65.jpg


And so, I have succeeded in my main goal for this AAR. Who knows what is in store for me in the last 130 years.

Until next time.
 
Well done :)

But... shouldn't it be possible to form the union states if you've vasselised rather than annexed every province?
 
And now it's time to enforce the Monroe Doctrine by force, just as Teddy Roosevelt always dreamed.

What's the Northern Union's flag? I can't really tell from what's visible.
 
GO UNITED STATES OF NORTH AMERICA!!!!!!!!!! :D

Don't will be fun if you change your government to monarchy? :p
