Victoria 2 Tripoli Guide (Vanilla, No Cheats, No Glitches*)

Adapted from the popular video game franchise, Victoria 2 follows rookie strategist Whims Num (Tripoli Player) and his assistant Algeria (Algiers) as he attacks his enemies in a state of warfare. With limited troops and save-scumming as his only weapon, can Whims turn the game around when all the odds are stacked against him?
*I accidentally used a glitch in the video, but it is entirely possible to complete without glitches (as was done on my completed save). As Tripoli, you WILL start with NO generals, the glitch I used (on accident) gives you free generals (it seems). I am still in the process of testing the glitch, but everything shown in the video is still possible without the use of glitches.

Hello people!
As an observant reddit user pointed out, Tripoli does NOT start with any generals! I accidentally used a glitch when creating this video, that gives the nation extra leadership points (the stuff used to make generals). However, I did not use the glitch in my main run, so everything in this video is still possible (Including winning the first battle). I will list anything below that changes as a result of this.
1. Set your national focus to promote officers. You want to get a good general as fast as possible, and officers provide leadership points. (Remember to save-scum for a good general).

Damn this is crazy! Nice walkthrough.

The actual cap of a leader's military skill is 6 afaik. I haven't seen anyone with 5 or above to be employed by the player in all of my playthroughs though.

[@whimsnum]

I've personally seen a +6 for defense (only on the ai) and a + 5 attack (for in the run I did for this), but they are very rare. I think this is because there are like 15 different traits for both background and personality, which means it's a 0.4% chance to get a perfect attack/defense guy. (math may not be correct, wiki is down as of now)

@@nateghast6456 -Month late, but the joke was that Tripoli is unable to form Arabia. Most mods add that function in, so it's a common misunderstanding about Tripoli.- (this is very wrong, shame on me for not checking)

@@whimsnum Then how come when I open the game and look at Tripoli's decisions, the only one I see is to form Arabia?
edit: discrepancy resolved

@@nateghast6456 No, you're right. I just checked and you can. Don't know why I misremembered that, but nice catch!
