Recently learned how to play Victoria 3. I'll sort of summarise my second game.
Started as Kalat. Quickly took over Baluchistan. The Sikh Empire lost Punjab to the East India company and only had Kashmir and pushtun land. Took over the pushtun land from them and eventually took over the whole of Afghanistan.
Decided to branch out and become an empire got Chile as a vassal state and eventually took over parugaue and Argentina as well.
Back home the was a port city in my territory controlled by Oman. I figured it's a small port city what's the worst that can happen if I try to take it over.
First of the Russians decided now is their time to make a move and decided to back Oman in their war. I asked the British Empire for help and they agreed. So now I had started a world war 1 in 1860s because I wanted a small port city. My army was fighting wars in Africa to help the British and then the price of opium went up because the military needed it and the peasants I had started revolting due to a lack of opium. I had basically lost control because the Americans allied with the Brazilians started a war to free Argentina.
It's at that point I decided to start a new game
