Strategy[]
Starting off, your first threat is South Africa, so you will have to move quick before they become a player. First, industrialize your country. Make 5 or more electronic factories and buy the resources needed for them. Start by selling the electronics to country with large incomes, such as the
United States or
China. You should go communist so you can sell more
Electronics for a bigger income. Build your army up until you have about 200k-300k infantry, and you should also research the infantry tree as well. Declare war on
South Africa and take their capital, which should be easy to take as it is close to your country and your entrenched and upgraded men will mow through the troops. Once the South African troops run into your entrenched infantry, they should die quickly. Once they die, split your infantry and multiple divisions and start capturing South Africa. Once you do this, you can continue and possibly take over all of Africa.
Formables[]
Lesotho only has one formable, that being the African Union.
Threats[]
Because Lesotho is a weak nation and a landlocked nation. Lesotho can be the shortest surviving nation over the Africa .
- Exclude
South Africa as a main threat.
Nigeria also your main threat, because they can invade you using tanks, or they might invade you to form
African Union. It is believe that
Nigeria has more square cities than
South Africa. However,
Nigeria is far from your country, so it wouldn't be a problem, unless if they have
Nigeria.
South Africa always being played by a players and they can invade you easily using tanks. It is important that they invade you to form the
South African Union.
United Kingdom has a similar reason to
South Africa, they always being played by a players. However, they can't invade you first, because every new server (basically started in 2019), none/less of the nations made the Transport Aircraft. They also need you to form
British Empire.
