I dunno why this thread keeps dying...








Really bizarre game in Victoria: Revolutions, with the VIP mod. Along with my French and American allies, I successfully beat the Mexicans into total submission in a series of wars. The utlra-nationalist party declared the American west coast to be core provinces, and I was able to grab California in one of the last wars with Mexico.

Then it got even more bizarre. My alliance with the US ran out just before the civil war broke out, but they asked me to either join as a state(riiiiiiight ) or to ally with them. I did ally, forcing a declaration of war. The game asked if I wanted to ask the French to join. Thinking "Sure, why not? End this sooner". Of course, I was hoping to batter the confederates western border, hopefully seize Louisiana and its precious sulfur resources, and expand my prestige further. However, when the French joined the war, they took primacy in negotiations. And, apparently, they were uninterested in the war for the most part. They achieved a peace treaty with the CSA, resulting in both myself and the USA to achieve peace with them as well! The only price was a couple provinces in Missouri, which went to America. I was heavily annoyed, as I'd occupied Louisana and a good chunk of both Arkansas and Alabama, and got nothing. However... this means the CSA has survived the civil war. Not sure how this'll play out.
