Greetings from Germany, its so amazing that you acutally played that. I was so suprised, when i saw, that this was my disaster. Thank you for taking my disaster safe. This was realy one of my worst games ever. Also i realy didnt used the pp and decisions at the end because i gaved up and was about to deal with the kurdish, what takes like 200 pp. My strategy to get achivments is realy often like luck by nonhistorical and i even got the everything sevres achivment a couple trys after that one. For those who are intrested in how this happend: I realy got lucky and romania, italy, yugoslavia and some other countrys got in a fraction. I manged to take iraq, all of romania and lybia for myself and cored them and some other places like half of belarus To get a high score i made my way through yugoslavia and into italy and most of my army was in south tirol / Mailand when italy capitulated. Then like 5 days after the peacedeal greece declared on me and this is the result. Also france is like in a fraction with japan and brittain got a civil war and they took all of the uk and france.

[@TreeBeard2008]

I am (always) curious - how did you manage get two britains and two bulgarias?

[@chronox694]

@@TreeBeard2008 I think Brittain just switched to late. But Bulgaria realy confuses me. The wierd part is, that i already annex them after puppeting them, because of the core decisions of the ottoman empire. But i think its because of the peace deal. Bulgaria has cores in nothern greece, so there were released there and they also got a core in mazedonia. I think there had to be a bulgaria civil war to have to bulgarias, but its realy confusing, even after looking into the safe again. Like when the spanisch civilwar happens you can release both sides in the peace deal when they are all involved

[@mcsroom8930]

@@chronox694 Bulgaria is the most bugged country in the game, i have had games were i play a mod and get the normal bulgarian focus tree but the decisions and national spits are from the mod so it makes it impossible to play

Well for the beginning, when your army is stuck in enemy territory after a peace deal, just press halt, all units will gain the tiles they are standing on immediately. Then use some divisions to snake back to your land and retreat the rest.

Much as I love a good disaster save, it would be cool to throw in the occasional FAILED disaster save, just so to keep us viewers on our toes in a will-he-won't-he kind of way. When you already know the disaster save is going to be successful, it can be suspenseful - just how WILL he get himself out of this? - but not as much as when you don't know the outcome.

[@alpgiraydag2429]

[@schmoovle7244]

A Fun "Disaster" save I've done personally is to play as a nation, say Germany, then invade another nation, The USSR, then after decimating said nation I make a save right there and will then swap over to the AI nation and attempt to save it and turn the tides against your own nation. its very hard but I find it pretty fun.

[@void7mapping711]

I have a really cool idea for how you could generate your own disaster saves. First, play as any given country (an allied country would probably give the best experience), then right before you are about to defeat your enemies, use console to switch to them and try and beat the AI that was once you.
