I wanted to try out a game as Greece to finally take the Crisis system for a spin, but every time I hit 70 or so tension, I suddenly plummet to < 10 tension. Am I missing something? Are the Ottomans getting an event to wipe tension or something? No other crisis are starting, I just go from 70 to 10 with no messages as to why. It's happened 2 or 3 times now. NNM and AoP.

If you go to the province view, there's a tiny icon that looks like a burning piece of paper. You can mouse over that to see what's affecting the tensions in the state.

Decided to reinstall EU3 today, does anyone know if the Colony Name Change Mod (http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?507760-Colony-Ingame-Name-Change-Mod) is compatible with MiscMods expanded?

Playing as the Ottomans earlier today, also with NNM and AoP, I got an event that lowered flashpoint tension in Greece by 50 and raised Con and Mil, several times. I think it's intended to prevent crises from happening in the same place again and again, but it seems to trigger when no crises have happened there to begin with.

Ok, playing france, it's 1914 and I just won the 2nd great war a few years ago. I want to grab some chunk of africa to make my borders more pretty and I hit "justify war" and it comes up blank. Nothing. Absolutely no options. I'm on NNM but I've never seen this happen before. It's like this for every single country, I can't wage war on anyone. *edit* Oops figured it out, I've got some "NO MORE WAR" modifier on my country for a year as my people are apparently some how sick of constant total war.

Frankly I'd rather have constant crises in the same place over and over again rather than have crises be impossible. Any idea where the event is? I'd imagine the event should be pretty find but do you know if it's a NNM event or a vanilla one?

Thanks, this sounds like good advice. So, try to avoid building to much an army before I get 1937+ tech except for subs. I'll build the IC,AA,radar and subs in the mean time to give my IC something to do. Any more advice is always welcome.

I haven't seen the event, but there's a chance it may be meant to prevent crises from happening right off the bat. NNM has some events for the Balkans to the European GPs, where they decide whether they want a strong Ottoman Empire or to reorganise the Balkans. Maybe these events will stop firing once that goes through.

I'd build 1936-model infantry and 1935-model motorised infantry instead of AA and RADAR. That said, I've always conquered Britain in 1940 when I play Germany, so I don't have to defend against a strategic bomber onslaught.

I really have to say, Victoria 2 is becoming one of my all-time favorite games. Almost every nation feels unique to the others, it feels like I'm playing dozens of different games instead of the same one. It's very refreshing to go from slugging it out in Europe as an established power to building a South American nation from the ground up. I have a few questions about a couple of strategies I have been trying out. 1. What's the best way for a small nation to get inputs for its factories if it wants to industrialize and doesn't have anything useful in its provinces? Getting sphered by a great power would grant me access to their domestic market, correct? Will I be unable to compete with that power's own industry? How do I convince a nation to sphere me? 2. In my USA games, I've noticed I already receive a large amount of immigrants, but I would really like to take it to the next level and encourage as many pops as I can to come over. Now I know I can do things like pass social and political reforms as well as decisions like the homestead act, but is there anything I can do that makes more of them want to leave their home countries? Should I try and encourage Europe into pointless wars? Would simply invading and occupying parts of a nation until their industry starts failing and rebels start rising be worth the cost of the war?

For two, get high relations with France and wait until they give you the loving absurd Liberty Lights up the World bonus from the Statue of Liberty. It straight up gives several hundred percent boosts to Immigration and Assimilation and it's loving insane.

You need 50 relations, it has to be 1850, and France has to have Cheap Steel. Additionally, the USA has to be a democracy, and France must be a Democracy or HMS. It's actually a decision France can take. The modifier it gives you is +200% Immigrant Attraction and +500% Assimilation, plus some prestige. It's just loving bonkers.

Does anybody recommend playing as a Japanese substate in HoD with NNM?I tried playing as a couple (Imperial Japan and Choushu IIRC) but because substates can't negotiate they have a very boring time up until the Boshin War in the 1860s-ish. Is my only really good option to play as the Tokugawa Shogunate? On an unrelated note, is there any way I can influence where future crises will pop up?

Ohhh god I have so much unemployment, most all my states have like 20-50% or worse unemployment! All my factories are doing well and subsidized and I keep expanding them but pops just keep becoming unemployed workers. I thought pops would only promote if there's a job available? I try to run my games with super-optimized economies and 0 unemployment. On the flip side I'm finally getting people moving to my god drat colonies.

Goddamn, playing as France after uncivs and sweeden is so goddamn satisfying - its official, I'm really enjoying Viccy 2. I started a true great war before great war tech, and it was awesome. There was a crisis over spain releasing an independent basque state, and I took up the state's POV. Spain rejected all approaches, and once they'd attracted the NGF and Austro-Hungary I knew it was going to be a huge war. I attracted Russia, but she was comparatively weak, especially as the Russians would bear the full brunt of Austria. As soon as the war began it became clear that it was going to take a while. I had mobilized too late, and a fairly huge Spanish army poured over the border, whereas the NGF started to take my border forts. 3 or so years later it was over. Long story short list of events: Russia was hosed from the outset, and began massively pulling down our warscore, eventually being forced into a seperate peace in which she lost two states. At one point just under half of France was under foreign control, but Paris was never under threat. Once I had cleared France I destroyed Spain, allowing the spawning of rebels and the eventual formation of Carlist spain. The Carlists chose the monarch of the NGF to lead them, which could not stand, so I re-invaded and ended up annexing Catalonia and humiliating them. Italy formed while the war was being fought, which made me decide to support them and enlist them in the effort. With their help I pushed into the NGF, but got bogged down as the German army had begun to filter back in after Russia dropped out. Luckily, Belgium and Bavaria decided to get in on the fun, leading to a suprisingly easy pathway to Berlin. So much fun to be able to conduct a war without constantly being outnumbered or outteched!

Playing as Prussia-Northern German Federation, by 1875 or so I'm continually losing a significant part of my army to prussian nationalists rising up, which is putting a crimp on my German empire forming. It's definetly annoying to have to constantly rebuild my army as well. Am I doing something wrong here or is this a common problem?

The Bourbons that ruled Spain on and off since the 1500s had connections to the Duke of Burgundy, or something like that. When Burgundy ceased to exist as a political entity, the Spanish branch decided to use it as a naval ensign.

The Statue of Liberty being some kind of population changing device sounds like something out of a dystopian novel. Though considering how most of my games of Victoria II end up, that sounds pretty accurate. Do the French even get anything from firing the event? It sounds like something that is pretty likely to bite them in the rear end, especially if America decides that the French would look better if the country were occupied.

As if the immigration bonus for being on the American continent wasn't bad enough, you're just handing over a bonus like that to what's already the most powerful nation in the game anyway!
