i took texas as a beachhead to invade the U.S. to force recognition as a great power, which I’ll do as soon as I get my munitions plants up and running :^]
and the very first thing I did was build a university there to educate the savages
This actually turned out badly for me because i took too long getting my munitions plants running + military switched over from line infantry so the Americans attacked me first and it turns out sending my entire army to Texas puts me at like -3000 convoys
