A Pleasant Empire ( A Hawaiian AAR)

[Antiboyscout]

1931 - 1935 Nearly the end now

Communist Russian Polar Bears? Obviously

I research Heavy Armament.

You're a bit far from home. This was always an odd thing about rebels. Any kind could popup anywhere in your empire. Even if they couldn't do anything and would be stuck.

Time to start reducing Militancy. Nothing does that better than booze.

It only took me a month because I needed to fund the army and build some Org.

I research Modern Divisional Structure.

I did violently crush a rebellion there.

It actually took me a while to figure out what colonial possessions the Ottomans had. Nothing worth provoking the UK.

Better to raise Consciousness than Militancy.

This did not trigger a Great War.

A little over a month later and it's over.

It took you 90 years to get off your asses and start looking for artifacts. Not even surprised. It took you 80 years to start looking at the native plants.

I research Naval Integration.

Stop it Socialists. I'm going into red with all the social spending I'm doing.

I think I see a problem with your plan Japan.

More Tensions in Zanzibar.

The communists are coming back with vengeance. Can't let the Fascist have all the attention apparently.

I research Oil-driven Ships.

While no Polynesians want to move to Nauru, it appears that everyone else does. The native Pop appears to be outnumbered by even the Jews on the Island. I don't think a National resistance will work.

Don't you start now.

Now you calm down? Well fine, just stay that way.

These choices seem backwards. Why would Minorities get agitated if I denounce the campaign, and why would Fascists get agitated if I support it?

I research Mass Politics.

It's just New Zealand. Who cares.

How's that war going Japan? Hmm, not really surprising.

I'll save the last year for later where I'll post all the final game statistics.

That Japan-Tibet war makes me laugh

If you plan on doing another Vicky 2 AAR, may I suggest Haiti? Would be fun to see more of these niche countries. Don't be afraid to experiment with mods, HFM has some flavour for Haiti, for example

1935 - 1936 One more Year

The USA was very expansionist this game.

Italy is the clear loser in this timeline.

Several interesting African States were created.

Market-Determined Exchange Rates is an interesting Tech. The invention Hyperinflation is terrible. The benefit of researching this is not worth the risk of Hyperinflation.

I research Clean Coal

I research Cheap Iron

I research Cheap Steel

I've seen the hyperinflation that this causes so no.

You guys are still in charge.

I research Advanced Metallurgy. It does not complete in time before the end.

Time for some stats.

By the end I was slowly slipping down the international rankings.

I have the most Ships in the world. They are old Ironclads mostly but still.

I passed all the Political reforms

I passed all the Social reforms.

The closest I came to the top in this was #of Capitalists.

This was never resolved.

This was an interesting experience. I'm not sure if I'll ever do it again. I mostly did it because I could find no one else playing Hawaii despite all its potential. Oh well, at least I'm better than Mexico.

An interesting game to follow. I know it was frustrating now and then, but well done for seeing it through.
