As Egypt, go from puppet to a free nation using the autonomy system.


How does one play as Egypt in ironman mode when it's controlled by the UK?

You play as the british due to them having Annexed Egypt. Then you Release them as a puppet while doing that click on the option to play as them when released.

Not sure what im doing wrong... cant seem to make this work. I played as the UK then went into the countries menu > rmanage occupied territory > release nation (on egypt) > release. But I couldnt see an option to take them over.

Any chance of a screen shot for us dumb folks ? :D

@Eliteslayer: I don't have a screenshot at hand, but these instructions might help: Start a game as United Kingdom → click on the flag in the upper left corner (or press Q instead) → click on "Manage occupied territories" → click on "Release nation" to the right of the Kingdom of Egypt → make sure to check "Play as" (whether or not you release it as a puppet is up to you) → click on 'Release'

Just like Lukas.

Start a game as UK (ironman mode), go to your country flag (top left), on the bottom you'll see "Manage Occupied territories." Kingdom of Egypt - Release Nation. You'll see play as and be released as a puppet. Make sure to be released as a puppet.

So far it's 1945 and I'm barely half way from dominion to free. Takes awhile, can't change idealogy since if you start a revolt you'll become independant.

@buffi: Please look at what I wrote above. If that doesn't help, try to explain what you mean (liderates?!).

Ok if anyone has the problem I mentioned above its because we forgot to buy or install the dlc! (derp!) Once i made sure it was installed it all worked fine.

I tried this but it said that UK cant release countries and it has to decolonize but when I do that focus it never asks if I want to play as Egypt what am I doing wrong?
