I Simulated the USA in a World War Simulator... 

drew would be the type of person to fail the most important goal but do everything else correctly

Montana and Utah sure had a complex relationship in this session

If you're wondering how the game decides which country has like a better army or something like that, it's based on Combat Efficiency ( a number from 1-6 that the game randomly decides ). Whoever has the higher Combat Efficiency number tends to win. Also if you run out of Gold, you will almost automatically lose.

Montana deserved that victory. His history to winning the game was glorious

Louisiana the whole time was sitting there literally doing nothing. They were also the last state to engage in conflict.

A tip: Turn on Progressive CE for more realistic fighting, and turn on remove exclaves for better borders

As a Georgian, must say it was nice having an empire and basically controlling the entirety of the east coast while it lasted

California and Nevada teaming up on Arizona is so typical 😂

Super fun, I like seeing the underdog states do well. It would be really interesting if there was a population mechanic that effected money supply and troop numbers. Maybe a morale mechanic too.

Drew: I’m not sure if it’s all about landmass Rhode Island: Finally!

As a Michigander, I'm happy we made it that far.

3:41 as a Wisconsinite I can confirm we have a type of cheese we made that gives us super powers for when Ohio & Florida try to take over the world

i love how michigan just stood there for half the game

If you wanna know why montana’s capital was in oregon, they united with oregon right before they broke ties with utah, so technically montana oregon and north decota won

Man that was so fun cant wait for another round of these!

Bruh, seeing Georgia take out Florida brought tears to my eyes. Then we got second. After so many instances of my state being annexed. It is a breath of fresh air to se it succeed ✨️ 😌

If this game took terrain into consideration, the Rocky Mountain states and those in the Appalachians would be much harder to take over.

As a Mormon, I’m very happy to hear that the Mormon empire has been formed

9:58 - 10:17 the most epic comeback for Delaware.

I actually loved the results of this. Would love to finally see a Oregon victory as a Oregonian in these scenarios, but hey, I can't argue with a Montana takeover, to be honest!

Michigan until 11:12: STAYIN ALIVE

Man I’m a bit dissapointed that in the early access they took away the army view

Michigan continues to outlive Ohio. We taking the W

Ive been running some streams on this game with simulating 1000 years and then restarting. Whoever has the most land after 1000 years get a point It’s actually really fun to watch. It just sucks that East coast states never have a chance

Money seems really important in this as Texas Utah And Georgia in the top 3 just fought wars of attrition and ran out of money and then instantly got steamrolled

If you click on a country and look in between the icons that show the amount of gold and the revolt chance you'll see a number ranging between 1 to 5. That number shows how well they'll do militarily. That's why for example Wisconsin did so well fighting against two states, you can see that their number was higher than the other two states. This number changes at random. For example, a large country might be winning a war, but its number will drop to 1 while the other countries' number changes to 6. Then the bigger country will get pushed back. If both countries have the same number, from what I've found the larger country will do better. Also, for example, if a country fights another alliance, if they have, say 5 military score, they'll win against the countries that have a lower military score, but not the ones that have a higher number than them. When a country runs out of gold it won't be able to fight back regardless of its military score, if a country kills another country it also takes that nation's gold. Also, countries might choose to fight a death war, which means they won't stop fighting each other until one of them dies, though I don't know if one of their countries is in an alliance if they will fight every country until one takes over or just the single country. Lastly, there are options to turn on and off things like exclaves, though that might mess up some of the countries in the pre-made scenarios since they'll lose it if it's not connected to them after a war. (Ex: Kaliningrad in the modern-day scenario, or Danzig in the ww2 scenario) I wrote this because I was bored and wanted to help explain what I knew about the game that others might not know, and if I'm wrong about any of these or missed anything important feel free to correct me or explain them.

As an Oregonian, I was sad to see Oregon go, but at least we survived as the capital of Montana

I would have thought Michigan and Ohio would have went to war immediately 😆

North Carolina did something! They survived until the halfway mark! Usually in these games they die immediately

As a Montanan i am proud to say that Montana deserved that victory, and it brought tears to my eyes to see a unified us under the big sky nation.

I’m just waiting for NC to win bro. I love their and every single time they have gotten wiped out sooner or later. Keep doing these kinds of videos I love them!!!!❤❤❤

Montana-North Dakota unification was too strong

I love these kinds of videos

Id love to see a version of this with Alaska (at its proper relative location and size) Edit: Its capitals in the southeast panhandle, that would not last long before Washington took it out)

Drew is probably the best youtuber that isnt a old channel

Hawaii and alaska just be chillin

very good video keep up the great work drew

3:37 Wisconsin is actually the location of Plexus and Oshkosh Defense, 2 of the biggest military contractors

Drew: I think places like Delaware will get crushed instantly Delaware: gets to top 5

I live in Utah and I was pretty happy that they made it far since usually Utah is it like popular that money so it just made me happy that they got to the final three

missouri and illinois getting into an alliaince together made so much sense. they are so similar!

As an Oregon, it annoys me that nobody can correctly pin point the location of our capital. In this game, the Oregon capital has been placed in the middle of the pacific mountain range which is no where near its actual location 😂

"georgia is trying to 1v1 the carolinas" drew search up the definition of a 1v1

love these videos and this game

At 6:48 North Carolina owns enclave that quite literally looks like Patrick star lol

I always watch these videos hoping that my home state of Montana will win. Really glad to see it finally happen.

Your vids are amazing

As a north dakotaian, I am proud that we could help Mkntana

I love these videos.

im from massachusetts, and even know ive never seen massachusetts win anything ever, im happy they rebbelled from maine, killed maine, and put up a fight with deleware i was really thinking they had a chance.

I can’t believe Montana had such a big comeback.

"The Mormon Empire", I always route for Utah lol

First recorded instance of somebody I cheered for winning

11:11 you fought well delaware

Montana pretty much snapped after losing land

Hawaii: Why are we here? Alaska: Just to suffer

In this game there is attack success. It is constantly changing for each country. 6 - maximum attack success. If country reaches 1 they can't defend any attacks

I think Montana combined with Oregon, and that's why its capitol was in Portland.

Yay my fav youtuber uploaded again

Montana gets banged, moves to Oregon, and then wins the war

2:42 "How is that happening!?" Me: Iron Brigade, B**CH!

Great video!

LETS GO MONTANA!!!!

im sad to see my homestate already gone at 2:39

Ngl im really happy That drew is playing age of conflicts again

as someone from Wisconsin we sometimes give cows herbs as a treat COW IS ARE ARMY

As a Utahn and a long time viewer, I am so so sad. RIP Mormon empire 0- 12:13 ❤

10:40: Michigan has the borders of the old Northwestern Territory 12:55: Montana marching through Georgia to the Sea 😂

Drew in colony sim if you select a colony and click military, you can make it op

Please play more Oregon trail 🙏

FINALLY MONTANA WON ONE OF THESE WOOHOO

5:48 Texas has a Perfect Square border if u go to the east

Michigan was just sitting there 😂😂

Finally back with a ww video. Do one with the whole world plz.

Ok imma need those country balls in your background lol

Every thing is biger in texsas

4:47 Idaho just told them all “udaho”

can you do this but with canadian provinces?

Haha im from wisconsin and I can confirm we are a military power with our new melted cheese glob cannon tanks and cheese curd blasters!

That was a great Battle royale states

In the beginning of the video I literally picked Montana to win this battle. the ending was really surprising.

i love your vids

My home state Massachusetts revived, took out their overlords and then died to a frickin' tiny state

fun fact: wisconsin for a short time, becomes the 8th largest army in the world, with over 600,000 hunters going up north for hunting season

At 6:47 Utah is going to have a ton of skiing

Wow, this is just like 1984

Split civil war or "I have the best pants" kind of war.

Wisconsin did well. As a Wisconsinite, I am proud.

Ayo My home state of Georgia finally made the top 2 2nd Place GA Not Bad AT ALL

It was really mind blowing how Delaware was able to survive for 1321 years until Georgia took them

I hoped my home state Georgia could have won but the fact we made it to second place is enough

as someone from delaware I can confirm this state is one of the top 5 most powerful militaries in the aftermath of the usa collapse

I do think Wisconsin is top 3 in gun related arrests, so that could factor into this

The updated game looks awesome!

can you make a video of the wrold map but only the island countys try to take ove everything

Drew is so cool bro

6:23 NOO MY HOMESTATE

Go Utah! We’re such a mid tier state that never does well in any of drew’s videos lol

Paused the video to comment: As someone who has lurked through a few of your videos I am so glad to hear you now properly pronouncing Nevada.

Have a good day drew
