Haïti playthrough

Being one of the most modest countries in the world, I was pleasantly surprised by my starting army: 2 AT, 2AA, a whopping fleet of 3 destroyers and a submarine, and, best of all... FOUR whole militia! I started researching level 2 immediately, and built some more. My city produces iron and two rurals are doing goods and food, so they should keep those guys fed. It means I won't have much room for anything more sexy soon though, so militia will have to do for my conquests.

Since the Dominicans were marching an army into me when I first signed in, I decided to make them my first conquest. The incoming are being blocked by a mixed militia and AT force in the forest, which he cannot detect until he stumbles into me. Along other road, my troops are marching into his lands and the fleet is used for scouting his positions.

When I got to the first enemy province center, I realized the guy had given me RoW... ah well. Will just make it easier to take his lands.

I think RC's in non-core are simply too expensive. You pay something over 10k of resources to gain 300 daily MP in a non-core city; that's simply too much. So the trick about MP is (a) get lots of land; even if it is undeveloped and non-core it adds up in the end; and (b) make units count for as much as they possibly can pr MP spent. In the early game that means militia because it easy to level them up; later on you pick just like 3-4 core units, research them all the way to as high a level as you can and build them there. My current research is L2 RRG's; that's because they're one of the best units in terms of battlefield efficiency per MP spent. Other key units remain militia (though fewer builds from here on), AC's who will hit L5 soon, and artillery for which I just started blueprint research. Resources aren't a problem at all anymore; after the deluge of AI's on day 3, the price drops were huge (I also managed to sell 50k of iron, the resource of my only core city, @8, and capitals were a main money income as well) and this is what my resource bar looks like now:

So yeah, I have to keep an eye on that low oil income and rares aren't great long-term either, but the only real bottleneck is MP.

1,454 MP per hour is a great ratio. I don't know why you're complaining. Aren't you only in the midgame?

Remember that this is a speed game. In a normal speed game, it would be only 350/h

Holiday is almost over. Brazil will be in a bit of a surprise tomorrow:

In Central America, AI state El Salvador attacked me, who had previously took over most of Nicaragua, which was human-controlled for a few days. He shouldn't have done that:

Who knew the difference between Haiti becoming a global empire or failed state was placing a random Dutchman with high affinity for Polish-Soviet generals, Cowboys and infrastructure at its helm…

Dang you are good! Although a lot of it is luck, not running into a major controlled by a good player.

Brazilian offensive underway. Cities have stacks in them and have to wait for the artillery to catch u[.

Central America gradually getting cleaned up:

Finally, the massed US offensive is starting!

Central America is clear, Brazil still has a few provs, including one with 22 Luxemburgian units in it! )))

Heavy tanks!! L3's!! I especially enjoy killing those)))

Great job.

Good.

Haiti shall be victorious

He left several holes in his line, and my AC's got through and are running rampant in his lands now. A coastal stack was destroyed by my BB's, the others are standing still in N.Mexico. I'm bringing up artillery to take them out. My Brazilian army was rerouted to land on his East coast. Juicy detail, Canada used a Tac wing to bring down one of my AC's, so I'm at war with him now as well.

Casualties since the beginning of this war:

HAITI - 4,310

USA - 18,458

Canada taking back a lot of land I took from the USA, and keeping it for himself... he is sending big armor stacks, and he has taken out two of my AC's from the air. He's sure a lot more dangerous than USA.

I left some advancers rushing overnight, here's the morning briefing:
