Could I not sphere them, though? You can, but if you want that land then you'd have to take it after you've formed Germany. I can and will that Schleswieg, in the Prussian sphere of influence, will become a part of the NGF. No CBs required. |

Guess what, though.
France decided to screw me over and declare war to liberate Alsace. Literally right after I formed NGF.
Now, on top of that Russia demanded West Preusen. They're winning with 22 war score and the Papal States is wrecking Britain with a 66 in Canterbury while my force of 59 lost to a force of 40. This game frickin hates me.
I peaked out. No way I can't fight all that with only England and Sweden. Screw my life...

If you want an easier game, play USA! Tell me how that goes. Just word of advice: Do NOT do the Ostend Manifesto where you gain cores on Cuba. |

I played deep into the night, and things have taken a better turn, albeit quite strangely.
So there's a crisis for Poland to be free and have all it's cores, right? Me, Austria, Britain, and the Ottomans side with them, France and Russia supporting, well, Russia. Russia and France lost, but I did not get Alsace in the peace deal. I did, however, take West Preussen back from Poland, and afterwards sphered them. Now I got my core back without the hassle of Russia and I have a buffer country. Now, I'm not sure what to do about this next thing.
I was prepping for the second War with France, and I was gonna get Austria to ally me again so I could get Alsace-Lorraine back. Britain decided to Ally Austria instead, though.
Do I just wait it out and see if they unally, or do I just risk a war against France and a fairly distant Russia?

Id ally someone else then, maybe Spain or some Italian country which is a great power. |

I'm trying to take Piedmont and Switzerland out of France's sphere so one of them can fight each other. |

They may seem all big and scary, but their unwillingness to make reforms almost always results in rebels spawning everywhere and breaking the country, resulting in major loss of prestige, and if the rebels are nationalist, then large parts of their empire can just secede. |

So playing as America... What happens if Britain intervenes in your war with Mexico and adds the war goal "Status Quo?" General William T. Sherman |

So playing as America... What happens if Britain intervenes in your war with Mexico and adds the war goal "Status Quo?" General William T. Sherman Status quo, the worst war goal... Status Quo can only be added if a Great Power intervenes in a conflict against you if they have a friendly opinion of the country you've added war goals against or if it was added by default when a scripted conflict begins. That Great Power which intervened automatically becomes the war leader. In order to enforce Status Quo, you need 1 or more warscore. What Id do is that if there are more than ~40,000 Brits in Canada, keep continuing the war. If theres more than that, just accept Status Quo. You'll only lose prestige, nothing else. Then once your truce with Mexico is up, influence Mexico in order to decrease British opinion of Mexico to hostile so they can't intervene. Then take all your territory. Also, if a nation has added Status Quo, they can't add any more war goals. |

Might as well, in Vic2 the UK is extremely stubborn, if you can kill off or at least win against them, you can turn the tide of the war. Von Bismarck jr, |
