I remember the day I started reading OHGamer's Power by Production 2.0. ...It was the day I finally began learning how to play Vicky. So I decided to go for a German kinda unification using sort of the same objectives that OHGamer had in his game along with including several more pieces of land, in my first VIP 0.2 game.
This here was something I posted in another thread a year ago when I had recovered the save game (Which I thought had been lost), and finished the war against Britain.
I had these screenies lying around for so long, I decided to post here in a thread for people just to look at and comment. The empire is nothing out of ordinary, but still it was my most successful empire so far. I eventually got somewhat bored and decided to keep expanding my mitteleuropa against Russia and the Ottoman Empire. Britain got successively crushed, first because it attacked me while she had the capability of destroying Germany, and all the later wars were because I took Goa from Portugal and British India kept attacking me while the UK suffered the full fury of the German, Scottish and Mitteleuropean might repeatedly.
I'll notice that I ended up finishing that game, which meant that I finished unifying Africa (Except for Belgian Congo) , defeated Russia in a war which left the country with 0 divisions, and lost the whole Caucasus all the way to Astrakhan (Armenia and Azerbaijan finally expanded from 1 province countries and Georgia was created while Crimea recieved all Muslim provinces and I gave it Circasian as accepted culture), Belarus (Divided between Poland and Ukraine along ethnic lines since Belarus apparently didn't exist as a country), the Russian possessions to the East of Finland in the Scandinavian peninsula (Given to Finland which was by then my satelite), and the frontier provinces with the Baltic Nations (Given to those countries).
During that, I managed to almost deplete my bottomless treasury building a gigantic fleet of modern ships. By the game's end I had 300 ships. The UK, however never managed to recover after its last war, and ended the game with 80 ships. Japan however was pretty advanced and ended the game with little more than 200 ships.
EDIT: BB values at the screenie time were 679.16 and my German (National) Population was: 94 186 000

The Uber-Grossdeutschland
Europe, under the firm hegemony of Germany. Note the difference between Venice (Italian Republic) and Italy (Italian Monarchy). The Baltic Countries were my Dominions (Representing autonomous regions but still part of Germany).
The major German colony.
Self-explanatory. The Greatest nations in the world. Many of those are my satellites, part of my Mittel Europa.
List of country ordered by Export Value. My total income from Exportations practically equals the sum of the amount of both the second and third major exporters. Also from there, in Ships, one can see the gigantic cost this war had on the UK navy. While my past wars, I tried to avoid as best as possible any major confrontation with the Royal Navy, I had in the last decade invested gigantically in building a sizeable navy. The results were that in the beginning of the war, both mine and the British navy had around 180 ships. Now the UK navy has been substancially reduced. Coupled with the reduced territory and industrial base, that means from now on I should easily become the sole naval power of the world (Except of Japan).
The list of countries with biggest production share per trade good. Easy to see who dominates manufactured goods. When I created the great depression, I had even greater hegemony then now.
