record scratch you're probably wondering how I got here
(hexbear.net)
spoiler
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
I like grabbing Virginia or New York, something right next to DC. It makes future wars against them go so fast so I can consume the whole US in a couple decades. I'll take the whole eastern seaboard short of DC and midwest to leave them with the hostile south and undeveloped northwest.
yeah but that requires winning a war against them in the first place tho
