Castille. Start off with a claim on a Muslim, strong enough to take nearby lands. Relatively safe from major powers.

Recently got V2, backed that up, and got AHD. Is there a good LP on how to learn what the hell I'm doing?

I'm in the same boat. Is there a goon instructional LP of Victoria 2 like there is for CK2 and EU3? The game is so daunting and the let's plays I've seen on youtube confused me even more.

You guys are literally the worst sales people! :v:


I might give it a shot if it goes on sale/is in a pack then. Kinda want to have the full historical set (CK2, EU3, Vic 2) and once I get into the rhythm of them they're good fun.

The Victoria Collection is currently :10bux: at Steam. Has everything but the latest expansion.

If you can play EU3 comfortably, Victoria 2 shouldn't be a problem.

This Japanese AAR linked earlier in the thread has been a god send. The OP explains just about everything in the game and most of it is still relevant for the latest expansion. Had a fun time westernizing around 1856 or so and then dogpiled because I had 34 infamy from conquering. Whoops.

Was pretty easy to westernize. Get the reforms where you get more research points from conquering then go island hopping.

The Amazon thread no idea if it's a steam key or not.

HoD should be steam. AHD isn't unless you buy a certain pack

I bought Vicky + all addons.

I'm Mexico, and USA keeps beating me up every 5 years. Is there anything I can do to stop this? Or is this inevitable unless you are really good at this game?

Try to get an alliance with the United Kingdom. It's pretty much the only way to survive. In a Mexico game I had, the UK and I soundly defeated the USA during the original Texas-Mexico war. Every five years since I would do the "cut down in size" CB just to get a boost in revenue.

Aww, how much will it cost? I doubt I'll survive long enough in CK2 to continue anyway. :v:

You can convert any save from CK2, don't have to reach the end date. In their video displaying the converter, they did the norse starting year.

It's a DLC part of Crusader Kings 2 that you access in-game, specifically in the menu.

What's the best way to learn V2? I've been interested in getting into it for a while due to the period but it's always look very complex from the outside to me.

Kersch's LP is a good tutorial though its for the latest expansion which I recommend having.
