It seems that all hexbear can agree on is that hoi4 is busted and stellaris is temporarily busted. I suppose I'll need to find time to learn viccy.
Can you fuck with the English in it right proper? I think have an ancestral grudge because my number one starting goal in all these games it to evict the English from England as Ireland.
HoI4 has always been the one I struggled to get into. I've loved Stellaris (big ups to Gigastructures mod), but not tried the recent busted-ness.
You absolutely can fuck the English in it right proper, but it isn't easy. They start as the #1 most powerful country, largely due to owning the East India Company/British Raj, and they own all the British Isles outright.
Liberating India isn't too hard if you pally up to them. But after that you kinda need a strong-ass navy (with pretty strong armies), and ideally a couple big European allies to conquer the mainland.
No major restrictions on your choice of war goals in Vicky, so you can evict them with impunity. Probably takes a fair few wars though. I've seen various European countries be evicted from Europe and are stuck as a single island province.
Bonus points if you get good at doing trade wars and using soft power. If you can liberate more colonies to deny them raw resources, and outcompete them in high-value goods, it is possible to fuck over their economy repeatedly. Sometimes they'll eventually succumb to a trade union-led revolution.
