Extremely tiny change, but they made it so when you reform the pagan religions they get a name. Germanic because Astaru, Baltic becomes Romuva, etc. Also the Great Holy Wars can start uhh pretty much any time after 900. In one of my games Norse got reformed in like 820 by the AI and GHWs activated in 910 even though Crusades hadn't triggered yet.

You're still able to reform Baltic in like 10 years which is cool IMO. I just wish using your priest to convert foreign courts had like, a snowball's chance in hell of working. So maybe once and a while someone who wasn't given territory and independence by me would follow it.

Or you weren't dug in (takes a bit before the bonus builds iirc).

Combat in Vicky 2 is really weird and it's been a bit since I played vanilla so I don't remember the numbers exactly but basically kind of like EU4 with more units? and more functions from units i guess. Main things: Combat width shrinks rather than increases over time need enough recon units (cav / airplanes) to hit 100% recon artillery, like always, fire from the back row engineers also fire from the back row and, with tech parity, hit with the strength of regular infantry from there. Their main use is increasing occupation speed and negating dig in / fort bonuses though guards and one of the cavs i forget the name of are super infantry that do way more damage to enemies but have weaker defenses. regular cav do flanking like in eu4 late game stuff is weird like planes are both recon and artillery style support. tanks are super infantry but with a small siege value. neither are gonna be that common even in late game due to industry shortages probably bigger units require recon / engineers in higher ratios

This is mostly correct, I think. It's been a while. I think recon negates dig-in bonus and speed up occupation speed while engineers/tanks negates fort bonuses. And if you can manage it tanks/arty/planes late game army composition melts everything else. Units also have discipline value EU style and experience, which is increased by combat and psychology tech. Military hospitals reduces POP losses when your soldiers die.

So what should I be doing in general, as say, Mexico or Brazil or whoever. It seems like everyone who plays Brazil immediately unites all of SA with Justify War and whatnot, but since I suck rear end at combat what can I do to raise my economy and POPs

That LP helped me figure out the basics of economy and focuses and stuff, but lol he got crushed in that war against Columbia. My similar war of opportunity was about 30 years later than his because Mexico had a real big army and was scary but I researched a ton of army techs and roflstomped Columbia/Mexico when I fought them. Also there was no random USA called in. I almost got the Liberals to be part of my parliament coalition but the socialists appeared and started hoovering up votes from the liberals. I haven't been able to pass any reforms and the constant reactionaries rising up because of me not banning slavery is getting annoying. At least my army is massive and powerful.

I always thought it would be better if like, in case Catharism displaces Catholicism somehow, now the Coptic Pope or the Ecumenical Patriarch is the one who can call crusades, depending on which is stronger. Someone needs to defend Christendom.
