Paradox always turns peninsulas into islands, and islands into peninsulas.

Anyone else get an error when trying to launch the game?

General error
We were unable to parse tgr launcher settings file. Settings.formatVersion should be integer. Settings.formatVersion should be equal to constant. Make sure you have a valid configuration and try again.

Anyone know how to fix it?

Edit: sorry just saw a post on this page talking about it

I really disliked how the game looked when it was announced. Now though, especially now that I see it in game, it's very beautiful. So good work whoever's been working on that the last 18 months or so.

This game has been in development since at least 2018 when my ex worked at Paradox.

Theyve done an amazing job.

The country historically fell apart in '38, so it seems pretty fair that anything but perfect play should blow it up. Definitely seems like an Expert-level country if balanced appropriately.

You need good relations with Britain, good relations with the colony you're trying to confederate, a bigger GDP than that colony, and the Nationalism tech iirc

USCA is hard mode, in vicky 2 the most viable path towards unification was to use AI exploits to beat secessionist armies. no idea what it takes in vicky 3 but probably a lot of luck

I've got low market access to the british market. It's still a nice 97% but the game isn't really explaining why or how to improve this. Do I need a port or is the bottleneck out of my hands in the UK? It just says due to "low shipping lane effectiveness" through the ports of Quebec and Lancaster. Does this mean those 2 ports need upgrades? Game, plz explain.

So quill's video said something about there being a journal entry that lets you annex other Baby Canadas if, IIRC, they like you and you have better GDP. Anyway, look around your journal.

Got a couple years in as Mexico before work, felt good to start reforming and building up resource base, but for some reason its hard to find where my subsistence farms are to properly commercialize them, and the UI as a whole feels kinda janky.

Isn't it just F3 to bring up buildings and then Rural? Or press F3 twice. Then click the farms to see how they're distributed by state.

So far the UI seems excellent for the massive amount of information it's being tasked with displaying. There's a ton to get around but getting around it seems intuitive.

"Tiny Trains"

If you're part of a big market there seems to be very little profit using your valuable workforce on raw materials. Go big with factories and make big money. So much of the economy is just guesswork though, and the tooltips are often very wrong. Almost every building I propose shows a huge loss, but then generate huge stacks of cash.

subsistence farms are what you have when your arable land is not used for an organized farm. if i have 100 arable land and 5 wheat farms and 5 cow farms it is assumed the other 90 unused farms are subsistence farms for my miserable peasants
