it is but he destroyed his country to get it. PLus he's over the inffamy limit so as soon as hes close to rebuilt the truce would expire and they could stomp his ass
Dependes on what you count as winning. By land count, yes. But his Military and Prestige scores have severely tanked, as well has his industry not being nearly high enough for someone of his size. He's 6th rank GP, when a Grossdetuchland should probably be number 1.He's that low because the land he has is basically scorched earth after all the wars .
Getting all of Austria Hungary is always big for anyone playing Germany due to the many pops, resources, and industry. I honestly don't know how he was able to completely conquer them in one war, but I assume it has something to do with the mod since you can only full annex countries that are either uncivilized or have only one state.
Losing the great war is BAD. it means paying a huge chunk of your money to the winners for 5-10 years, losing half your army, losing half of the remaining half (because dismantled) and not being able to raise more armies. Additionally, any colonies he had are gone. So, yeah, he basically became Nazi Germany: a very powerful nation that's only method of influence is the continent.
After the Swiss Neutrality episode where Bo was just giving Golden everything he wanted and game ended Swimmy, he decided to pull a reverse card for this episode. Truly a master script writer.
Damn it Bo! Can't you just let Swimmy get what he deserves like it says in the script? No wonder College didn't show up for game 2: you keep going off book!

I usually rewatch tons of times many of your vids because of some moments o phrases in them are great, but this episode is so painful to watch, the way that bo and Thomas attack college and the rest is just depressing for me, might be because of some sort of similar experience playing mp paradox games or something I don't know
