1:35 If you didn’t see that video, basically as soon as the blackshirts marched in London the country IMMEDIATELY erupted into a civil war in which several other major powers decided to intervene, forcing ISP to reconquer lost dominions that then randomly broke free a second and third time and invade half the world at the same time

You can't be everywher

[@ZOMBIEX05]

Why are you everywhere

the reason they break away is because the game thinks you never had a civil war, so it thinks they never broke of, when you invade and puppet them, game just makes them break away after a fixed time (i think) like they are supposed to after flipping ideology. To mitigate this, when you do the focus bring dominions back into the fold you will get decisions to cause civil wars in your puppets, then you press a decision to put them in your faction and puppet them and ONLY THEN finish their civil war with your troops, it basically breaks when you ignore those decisions, so dont invite them to your faction manually because that also breaks something, probably the federation focus, i think. TLDR see decisions after focus "bring dominions back into the fold"

[@tigremc]

If you manage to avoid the civil war, you can station troops in each dominion and do move to secure the dominions, which will give you decisions to make them fascist as well and prevent their independence.

[@indi353]

Fun fact: If you declare war on all the minions while you are in a civil war then after you win you can annex them all in peace deal and basically skip through the one empire part of the focus tree and get cores on all of your minions except India in 1936

[@benlevi12]

For future Britain games if you do the civil war declare on the dominions while at war(the game gives you war goals because they are allies of your enemy) and then annex them right after. Doing this you can get imperial federation in early 1937 without requiring any pp Also this allows world tension to spike and makes war goals quicker

[@supernovatv9514]

forming the imperial federation is actually way easier when all the dominions are annexed all of the development focuses and the one for the imperial conference just get bypassed and you can just go straight for the imperial federation

[@subparconscript9454]

I remember doing this one. Last country left in the world was radical neutral Paraguay. Their neutrality earned them a carpet nuking.

[@hatimzeineddine8723]

one empire doesn't actually need a world conquest, you just need every nation in your faction, for anyone wanting to avoid some of this pain

[@guybrushthreepwood362]

It is possible to avoid the civil war completely and still have you colonies and If you are careful about managing your dominions you can fairly easily core all the dominions and the day before that event fires give canada the US to core all of that too. Doing that cuts down the headaches and time of doing this by years, I think you still need to fuss about with reducing autonomy in Malaysia and I was never able to get India to join but that is also possible

I always find it amusing that no one actually bothers to read the requirements for the achievement properly because for one empire all you need is for every existing nation to be in your faction so they can be your puppets or even just a free ally, it saves so much time justifiing on random nations you can just ally like Venezuela, Peru, El Salvodore etc in this video.

Weird that everyone is going civil war in this when there is an easy way to get the UK to flip and keep all the generals and admirals and government officials and it requires just using the reconcillation speech/anti-Hitler speech and improve working conditions which will fly you up the stability enough that you can avoid the war even taking London with a peaceful and normal march, it takes about 2 months which is enough to prepare to flip the colonies with your units and work down the focus tree in other areas.

[@MilitaryBuff]

Well tried the usual Mosley route for this achievement. It was my first time in that focus and was too lax on marches because I wanted to speed things up. Got into a civil war was winning and would have done had I not made the stupid decision to do a march in London as when it fell I went under my surrender limit. Civil war started way too quickly. Currently trying the Communist focus path as alternative instead at least there are no civil wars as long as you are quick enough to decolonise even though your power is significantly reduced as a result. Should be able to get the One Empire and Crush the Dream achievement by sticking the whole world in comintern with the Soviets as backup. Planning on taking some more land to make up the empire lose started with Ireland. Maybe using the communist dicus is mot the nedt for one empire but I could do crush the dream with it as well.

Whenever I go fascist britain I never allow the dominions to break. I’m a bit of a perfectionist so if it happens i restart. The key to ensuring you have enough men is simple: request their forces. At game start you can literally take control of all of the dominions divisions, and they count as your manpower for the purposes of enacting martial law in each country. Now a but of pregaming is required, as the system they use for it makes it really hard to properly prepare for it w/o intimate knowledge of it. For simplicity’s sake, here’s what you do. On game start you want to convert your whole standing army to a template that maintains at least 10k manpower (technically it’s 9.6, but don’t beat yourself up trying to find that number, plus 10k gives you a bit of a net) equipment percentage doesn’t matter, just manpower. About a quarter of your starting army needs to go to eastern canada, and the Canadian regiments obviously stay in canada (spread them along the southern border on the west, that’s where they need to be.) then bring the whole rest of the army to south africa, along woth the saf regiments themselves. You definitely don’t need all of the divisions there, but it’s just to be safe so you don’t accidentally understaff saf. Meanwhile, take aus/nz/malayas forces to occupy burma, and east bengal, and spread out the rajs forces as well. Now, once you’ve actually flipped fascist and took the focus for securing the dominions, you wanna put canada and saf under martial law immediately. And for the reason we have all our forces massed in saf, because saf starts with a decent amount of fascist support due to ossbrandwagen, you can generally flip them almost immediately, freeing up all of your divisions there to go to india, which is now only a short boat trip away for the majority of your forces. Quickly fill in the gaps for indias garrison (it’s a real chore to set up and i wish it was easier to check state names while setting up orders, but what can you do?) and put them under marshal law. Then start moving any extra divisions (don’t worry, there will be some extra) over to australia. At this point, canada will usually be in a position to flip, and upon doing so, i like to bring the canadian forces to new zealand and australia. And just like that, you’re set! Now it’s just a matter of waiting for fascist support to tick up! And this is generally a faster and less chaotic way to achieve this over civil war and fighting the dominions. If you were proactive in setting up collabs, you could even treat yourself to like a 38 usa war.
