Best Countries for Historical World War 25 player 1.5

US: The US has a really high resource production each day. Although, it starts with one of the weakest armies in game. However, you could build up massive armies due to the overpowered production capabilities that it possesses. Also, the Allied Doctrine helps a lot with faster production speeds. Also, US has a really powerful navy at the beginning, which will protect you from most initial threats towards the two coasts at the beginning. The political situation is really stable at the beginning because the only two neighbors Canada and Mexico are unlikely to attack you at the beginning. They're more likely to become allies or friends with you rather than enemies.

USSR: Similar to US it has a massive industrial and resource output. Unlike, the US it actually starts with a decent army of around 50 units or more. However, the tech has to be upgraded before the USSR could really try to defeat countries like Germany or Japan. The one shortcoming is that it is in the range of powerful countries like Germany and Japan.

Germany: It has a decent resource output and a decent industrial capability. However, it has the strongest army and strongest Air Force at the beginning of the game. However, one drawback is that the diplomatic situation is really dangerous for Germany and it can get attacked from multiple sides if one is not careful.

France: It has the second strongest army at the beginning of the game and a strong navy. It has a good resource output and good industrial capabilities. However, the political situation of France can also become disastrous. Most of the times, at least two neighbors will attack you at some point in the game.

Italy: It has a decent army at the beginning, but its Air Force is almost non-exsistant. However, it has a strong navy with many battleships. Also, its industrial capabilities and resource production are pretty strong.

Nationalist China: It starts with a crap military in general. However, with careful development and research it can become one of the strongest nations in game. In most games Japan won't be confident enough to invade you in the beginning. Even if they do you could simply withdraw your troops and ambush Japanese troops until the army is weakened. Also, it has many cities and plenty of resource production which makes it a capable industrial power.

Let me know if I missed anything or if any of my statements are inaccurate.

I just looked back at that thread, I was 232k with Japan on day 6 for comparison.

whowh wrote:

By 232K do you mean plus in a day?

and do you mean all resources or on one resource.

It's just the number they quote in the paper. I believe it's the sum of the gross output of all resources other than money and manpower. I normally gauge it more by the "+ per hour" on each resource because that's the number I see.

+1500 is achievable on day 6 with the US in metal, oil, rares. You can build food/goods from there.

Also I have a question for you, do you advise upgrading resource production non-core cities or non-core provinces first?
I guess my answer is cities because I think only cities have doubles. You should do non-core doubles first before you do non-core provinces. You should do all your core local industry first though.

Until you meet a madman like me who choses Canada, attacks you at day one with a Mot Infantry and artillery spam and you are totally conquered at day 4 :tumbleweed: :wallbash

You shouldn't build industry in non core territory, as they produce only at 25% but your industry still costs 100% of the resources you will rarely get a return of investment. Just develop your industry in your cores in both urban and rural provinces.

I'm inclined to agree with this position. I still wouldn't say never. If you finish your home industry and it looks like there's still some game to play, you might consider building industry in non-core doubles. Always, always, always, finish core industry first before even considering building in a non-core province.

USSR: Starts with mainly infantry branch and is therefore vunerable to an attack of Germany who runs high on tanks. The country is huge and almost undefendable. If Russia is at war with a larger nation like Germany or often underestimated Japan then you can be sure that all those small Asian countries will start eating you away slowly. The many Asian countries that all fear Russia combined with both the chance of ending up in war with multiple European and Asian countries at the same time makes it quite challenging.
You know, once i defended as USSR against UK, Italy, India, Japan, Germany, Persia.

Cant be defended, huh?

Make it a challenge. I started as Afghanistan and finished in the Top 5 for total Provinces. I joined a Coal and we finished in 1st place.

No offence, but-especially since you were in coa- i think defending as USSR against Japan, UK, India, Persia, Germany, Italy, and didnt mention AI Finland, ALONE AND losing only TWO urbans is a much greater feat than what you did
