Possible to play as Ireland?

[Paddy]

Will there be any possible way to play as Ireland in this game such as being able to rebel against Britain and go my own way or do I have to play as the UK Empire?

[Puggles]

Potentially start as UK and then release them

You may be able to release Ireland as the UK, then save it, restart the save and switch to playing the now independent nation. You could do this on other paradox games.

Oh really I never knew this though the only Paradox games I have played since EU2 are Stellaris and CK3. Is releasing a country easy?

Believe there is an option. In HOI4 you could release a country and there is an option to play as them.

If that doesn't work you could likely play as france or someone, go to war with UK with goal to release ireland, use a code to force them to surrender immediately so ireland becomes independent. Then reload the save selecting Ireland as your playable country

It certainly seems so based on developer posts, my intention start UK, then immediately release Ireland, Scotland and Wales - then switch to Scotland and see if working together the Celts can remain independent in this timeline.

Developer also seemed to hint in one post you can release England from UK (I don't think they named it, just said UK had an "surprising nation to release".... which would be interesting, having England sitting next to a world-spanning Celtic Empire.

Ok. I never knew once you release a country and save that they essentially become added on the map as a country to play as in a new game. Should be interesting

Hmm then i might go Austria and release Bohemia.

If it's like every other paradox game then yes. There will be an option to release a nation and then you just press play as released

Were you bullied by an Irishman? That's an awful lot of resentment there.... against a people and country that are among the most successful in the world today 😉.

In Victoria 2 when you want to release all the nations of Russian Empire you end up releasing like 10-15 Regions its crazy xD Poland, Finnland, Belarus, Ukraine and a ton of smaller caucasus and Asian regions.

[ANDS!]

When you release a puppet in V3, you are given the option to choose which of the two states (puppet and puppeteer) to continue playing as. You should also be able to choose, at any time, which nation to play as. It's your game, the world is quite literally yours to do with as you will.

By Descent. 10% of people in England have Irish descent. Does that make them Irish? Most people in Britain and Ireland have ancestory that stretches across these two Islands. I myself have Norman ancestory. At the end of the day if we go back far enough we all come from Africa anyway.

Scotland culturally however is a Gaelic nation largely. It is culturally unique to England while also being British. Similar to Wales.

Remember the gaels of Ireland were also called Scots. This is where Scotland got it's name, the people between these lands were essentially the same. Lowland Scots came mainly from Northumbria
