Hello, Glad that you won the war, next time please follow the guide word by word to win the war, if you chance things it might change the whole run for you, To know if they got kicked out of the OMEC it will be in the news paper that rumburg has been expel from OMEC. Also purging the military while going on a war with rumburg is completlely wrong and I advice against that. It is basically getting rid of it so you can't win the war so make sure not to do that. Next time please follow the guide word by word to win the war.

I managed to figure it out, without changing conscription I was able to get a win in the war by not purging the general staff and going with the dig down and defend starting strategy, then marching on Thornbourgh with Lespia protecting the flank.
Warlord_Sdocy 20 hours ago 
Weird, I followed the tv interview guide exactly but didn't see anything about OMEC after that, not sure if there's anything else that effects that. Also after trying again without purging the general staff I got some more dialogue that is starting to make me think you have to abolish conscription for this strategy to work. As they mention that it will effect the morale of my reservists and it seems like they keep breaking out of the pincer move in the document that pops up after deciding the strategy.

For the military follow Iossef Lancea's advice to the word, as I mentioned in the guide to win the war, and for the military I haven't tried maintaining their budget.
HowAboutSteak  [author] 21 hours ago 
Sanctions are different than OMEC, sanctions is when your at the AN and expose Rumburg for having nukes, kicking them from OMEC is from the TV interview which I mentioned in the guide, feel free to go back and reload and stick to the guide, good luck :)
Warlord_Sdocy 21 hours ago 
Do you know what factors matter for winning the war? I mostly followed your guide but ended up losing. I think the main differences I had from you with directly military decisions was I maintained the military funding, I focused on modernization and reduced army size, kept conscription, and accepted Arcassian military aid but didn't join ATO. I also never saw any events about Rumberg getting kicked out of OMEC but I did see events of them getting sanctioned, not sure if that's the same thing or if I messed up somewhere there. I also did put Soll on trial and used a decree to purge my general staff which that is probably the decision right now I'm assuming that might have messed me up.

QAldinth Thank you very much for your input!
Aldinth 18 Aug @ 8:15am 
Small notes:
Turn 1: Choosing military as main focus and then defunding it makes no sense. Could go with Edu or Law instead.
Turn 8: No attack on the dam in my playthrough. Either changed or me talking Bluds up on every turn and never saying anything racist (just doing) helped out. Got Mansoun to reach out to me in Turn 9 to sign some amnesties and pro-Bludish reforms and they ended up loving me.
Turn 9: Got medium surplus (+2) instead of small one. Something must've changed or it's RNG, but it made me end the game with +3 budget, so you could technically NOT defund the military and avoid getting shit-talked by them at every turn.
Turn 9: Interview answers diverge after "I hope so. We look up to the international community...". I got 2 other ones about Livia Suno and Petr, then it was back on track with "To some extent, yes. All of our...."

Great guide overall!
