Hi.
I did earlier a Japan 1933 AAR where I managed to take out USA, but I was not playing optimally, and I did not puppet states like China and India, which I think is critical for a world conquest to get enough units. Japan in it self also have lots of manpower, and are probably one of few countries where a total world conquest is realistic together with at also Germany/Sovietunion, because my goal to also take and conquer Germany. I am not good at the nuke game, and I want to have a full on conventional war between Japan and Germany in mid 1940 if possible (at earliest). My main enemy countries to take down first will be USA/Canada, and also Soviet Union when they fall. I have played the game a few times just to test some strategies in the early-mid game, and it looks like Germany usually beats Soviet Union in operation Barbarossa, and I think me invading USA probably helps out Germany with less US planes from UK. My hope is that Germany struggles in Barbarossa, but eventually beats Soviet Union in like 1943, this will give me more time to build up my own force to have a two-front war in both USA and against Soviet Union. I will declare war against Soviet Union it will when they start breaking, or if Soviet Union is pushing into Eastern Europe, because I can't let Soviet Union beat Germany, then I would get a worse enemy than Germany.
To come to the point that I can attack USA in Pearl Harbor (late 1941/early 1942), and also have forces on Soviet borders in already late 1941 if Germany has the luckiest war. My goal is also to take all Soviet oil in the Kaukasus, and to do this I will invade Persia and Turkey to really be close to Kaukasus and grab it in front of the Germans. I will also secure Suez Canal, and from Middle-East all the way to Australia/New Zealand, included ofcourse China, British Raj, and all the smaller countries around that I have time to grab. My goal is to have a first slow war with China from January 1937, and win the war in time for Danzig event, when Germany and Allies enters war, and I can then use the war to attack Allies in Asia, doing lots of amphibious landings to both reach islands, but also to make the invasions faster by taking the victory points. I will probably before Soviet Union not invade into Africa (but only hold Suez and a few provinces), to not overstrech too much and have troops ready for war with Soviet Union. Then goal is to conquer USA somewhere at latest 1944, but hopefully like late 1943, I have not yet invaded USA that many times in game, but I am quite confident, and I will try to land a smaller force on East Coast as fast as possible after landing on the West Coast. If I then beat both USA and Soviet Union then I can so take on Germany, but I will try to plan for the war with Germany in mind also when it comes to doing my builds.
Rules I have is mostly to not use auto-upgrade to other units at all, because it is kind of broken that you can upgrade units into more costly units for free, and it is broken (it is still active in game, because I think the AI uses it). Also not loading, except in the start of the game (pre 1937), this just because forgetting sometimes to do an action like change what I am using my industry on (and speed on extremely fast because not so much to do). I already know all the events that give less dissent in the early years, so I will exploit this to my benefit.
I have already played a few years with a quite decent amount of screenshots, I will update this first post more (I will add links etc). But I start the AAR in next post, I just wanted to get it up and going.
