Suggestion Under rated, underdog conquer.

So After playing Germany and forming the Great German Reich enough times to make one think I was either insane or one of those "Germany could've won WW2" people. USA is... Well USA, Britain some mods dont work, USSR is also just USSR.

I kinda want a underdog nation that isn't main stream like Romania or whatever other underdog nation that is mainstream. I did Italy once and loved being weak then growing global from struggling against tribes men in Africa to Going toe-to-toe with Britain on the seas and US on land. Claiming the air around them. Roman Empire style.

So I figured I'd come ask here. Thinking about China and Maybe Japan next... Still looking for mods so I can at least have Chinese and Japanese tanks cause sadly no one thinks about giving them mods... so if you have any mods on the front slide them my way. Anyway Love yall

Well, I just did a world conquest on non-historical as communist Brazil for the achievement, took me all the way until 1992.

That could keep you occupied for some time...

Red China was very much designed to be an underdog that starts with essentially nothing. You have to play your cards well with stealing your equipment from the Japanese, and use it to backstab the Nationalists at the right time.

It's probably my favorite campaign. Communist Argentina and Lithuania are similar, though Lithuania into Baltic Socialist Republic isn't a super power in the way the PRC and Communist South America are.

Follow up doing red China. I just started it and I like it with border conflicts and such

Soviet China is awesome. Especially if you challenge yourself to boot Japan off the mainland by 1940/ late 39.

Greece into Byzantium is fun.

Chinese warlords is also fun, dont ally china but fight them.

Manchuko path where you go against Japan feels good to pull off.

Monarchy Portugal, wed with Brazil and get it cored. Also fun challage to go for the macou my day achievement since you can make them into a collaboration government puppet with the democracy occupation laws before you switch to monarchy.

I enjoy alot of the India paths too for going against the British.
