Dude, i respect your skills and i don't know if i could do better, but trying to ally France like this could never work, i have two strategies i used for playing Belgium, Wich is in the same position as Luxembourg imo, sorry if you actually already tried one of these off camera My best bets would be either letting the french sphere you, get high relations with Prussia or Austria, get out of their sphere by decision, and if Prussia/Austria allies you, fight France/Prussia for land The second one is allowing crisis' from the start, and then when a massive crisis for Bulgaria happens, you get land from Prussia if they're weak enough, i know neither of these is a safe strategy, but it could work better

Luxemburg is entirely playable because North German is it's primary culture rather than French. This means it is eligible for forming the German cultural union (Germany) and can receive all events relating to the German cultural union including A Crown from the Gutter. So all you have to do as Luxumburg to become a viable nation is prestige spam your way into GP status, research Nationalism and Imperialism, and wait for German Pan-Nationalists to siege down a German minor. This will let you form Germany and from there you can conquer all of Prussia, Austria, and France to form Super Mega Germany.

Why not attack Belgium in GFM? Britain probably won't even land troops and if they would the French can take them. So maybe expand through the low countries and if necessary flip sides to Prussia to take French land or keep France/ally Austria to expand in Germany. Good video, appreciate the content!

Belgium in GFM was never really an option because at least at the beginning of the game the French AI would not join a war against the British. Also, after France sphered me nobody else was interested so I couldn’t ally anything else. If you refer to my Krakow video you will see that I changed Allie’s several times but that is because the nation is meant to be playable in vanilla so the nations always sphere you in a winnable way

@@SGT why don't you try to improve relations with Prussia until they put you in their sphere of influence? This is a feature, whenever you have maximum relations with great powers they will put you in their sphere, at least try. and also to put the maximum negative relations with France. France always puts Luxembourg in their sphere of influence, but with negative relations with France and maximum positive relations with Prussia the Prussians are capable of succeeding.

Okay so there are a couple of things. Firstly, the AI in this game generally is not completely random, rather it follows patterns at the start and then later can do random things to better suit it based on Geopolitical changes. In both GFM and vanilla, I found no way to get the Prussians to sphere me. It just did not happen because the starting pattern is France spheres Luxembourg. Theoretically Prussia might sphere me at some point but that has never happened. I think that if Prussia has you in the sphere you can get annexed into large Germany but not NGF. Thanks for the comment

Like STG has said, if you get sphered by Prussia later on in the game you get turned brought into Germany. There's also the problems that fighting late game Germany poses. I think allying France early and trying your luck at declaring on Prussia early was the best strategy. If you let the Prussians build up too much they basically become unstoppable in most play throughs.

In vanilla the best strategy for any small country is to get a small army through any means possible and then annex korea and 1/2 states from guangxi because chinas soldiers will all be dead. You should be able to get like 40 brigades with this that you can use in europe by exiling your korean troops in manchuria or by humiliating some random county. As luxemburg you should take java as they have about 20 brigades. I allied the Prussians when i did it. And for krakow you should follow xarxos’s tutorial, which involves puppeting two Scillies and using an african war to get their troupes.
@SGT
2 жыл бұрын
Okay so I play in GFM mostly. GFM removed the ability to annex/ puppet things that you don’t border, so none of those exploits work. Therefore the Xarxos strategy does not work. I think that exploiting is fine but it is not really the kind of content I want to upload on my channel, I want to play in a somewhat realistic and possible way.
