Victoria 3 – American Territory Achievement Guide

How to Get American Territory Achievement

I just did the American Territory achievement, with an ungodly amounts of save scumming and 1yr save intervals.

To become independent, you need four things. Then, it’s all about your skills in conquering.

  1. Don’t let anyone take over Texas until the US has a civil war.
  2. When the US is close to a civil war, start your war for independence. Use a small army, like 1 infantry and 1 cavalry unit. This lets you move fast. You might need to restart the game and check the US politics screen to get this right.
  3. If the civil war helps you, the US won’t be able to send many soldiers to fight you. They might be too busy or too spread out. If you’re lucky, you could even take some nearby states.
  4. After you’re independent, take Texas so you have a port. Make friends with Great Britain or France so they can protect you.

Try to get independent before 1870. This gives you time to take over places with gold and good resources.

You have to win independence before the US civil war ends. If you don’t, the US will take you back quickly.

Use the big countries to defend you when the US tries to fight you. Take states from the US during these wars. Improve your relations with the big countries and help them in their colonial wars.

To stop the US from getting states from Mexico, fight Mexico at the same time. Try to take Mexico’s capital fast to win before the US does.

Since you’ll have to conquer most states, get leaders who are careful or like to read. This helps keep your bad reputation low. Don’t become a protectorate or stay in a customs union. These limit how powerful you can become.

Take over the states you freed so the US can’t get them back. Try to take coastal areas and states next to the US. This makes it harder for the US to reach you and weakens their navy.

Remember, you don’t need to own all the states to win the game.
