Delete the OTHER map cache as well. There's 2 of them, one in your regular folder and one in documents.

The one in the regular folder (in Steam for me) did the trick. So try this.

Vicky just went on sale on steam for 9.99e complete (:siren:NOT:siren: including HoD). Good deal :)

Quick question: is there a better way of seeing what RGO a province has? It doesn't show if you zoom up a bit and the icons are tiny, so it takes a lot of squinting :(

Edit: :downs:

Woops, BAD typo.

I had to check because that would be a frankly ridiculous discount for the third day of sales.

How do I get enough bureacrats of my culture to a colony? Just tax the poo poo out of medium pops, NF immigration, then NF bureacrats once the indigenous bureacrats left?

So what is the trick to turn a colonial state into a state? As Italy, I have Morocco as protectorate, I got the colonial event (100% migration bonus and more), NF on immigration, yet I cannot get more than 1-2 italians to migrate there in the span of the event (which lasts 20-30 years). I cannot create jobs there as no factories can be built on colonial state, and all the RGO are filled. What am I missing? I reloaded and tried to encourage capitalists, but even at 600-700 no projects pop up.

So uh, winning great wars against the UK, Netherlands and Austria is ... interesting :)



Indemnities last for 3 years right?

So, Victoria 2, some concepts I still cannot understand:

Assimilation: does it ever happen? Every single placeI conquered (Morocco, Switzerland, Dalmatia, Borneo, New Guinea) - all of the resident pops say "will not assimilate" or some such. From what I understand, you cannot assimilate pops that are cored in that state, but that makes assimilation something that basically never will happen.

Religious conversion: see above. Bonus question: what does it do?

Is there a message setting for a popup when another country dissolves alliance with you? I was 3rd allied to Germany 1st, and was bullying Austria (on fifth) who's allied with the UK - and when I managed to declare war UK joined in (as well as Russia for some reason) while Germany stood by and had apparently dissolved alliance some months back. Assholes.









Thanks guys!

Are there any other ways to gently caress around with an enemy nation, other than wars and removing their spheres? There's this overpowered Germany that eventualy declares on me, and no matter how many brigades I kill, they get 2 more. Insane, they mobilized to 400 and after a solid half hour of them losing every battle they were at 620 and kept climbing. Actually, what the gently caress was up with that?

Seems like UK will finally be an actual GP and not a paper one. Drives me nuts when I'm in a great war on UK's side and they send like, 10 brigades out of 400 while keeping Ireland and Wales safe.

So what do you NF in the very late game, when you have enough bureaucrats, craftsmen, literacy is over 90%, and don't need a shift in political parties (glorious communist turkey is here to stay). Soldiers and officers?

How do you win the Tex-Mex war as Mexico at the start? Great Britain is always on the brink of accepting an alliance but never do, and I can't seem to be lucky enough to get them to DoW the US while I'm killing Texas. Any trick?

canepazzo
May 29, 2006






This worked perfectly, thanks both :) Only thing is I forgot to colonize during the war so the US got both the colonies, but I'll get them throughout the game.

I'm boring but I'm hoping for a sequel, Vicky 3 or CK3. Tho with the very recent expansions that seems quite unlikely.

They're gonna be showcasing the converter:

Paradox Interactive
Today we announced that if you pre-order Europa Universalis IV, you will get a save converter which will read the details of a saved game from a Crusader Kings II and convert that into a game that can be played in Europa Universalis IV.
To showcase this we're hosting a live steam tonight at 11 am PDT (6 pm GMT/7 pm BST/ 8 pm CEST) at: http://twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive

Interesting bit at the end of the new Developer Diary, about the CK2 converter:

Also as many have asked about Sunset Invasion. Yes we have done some extra for Sunset Invasion, You will have two enormous empires in the west competing for world dominance and viewing Europe as primitive savages.

Did I disable an option or does the Tutorial not have the battle recaps at the end (with casualties, survivors, prestige, war score etc.)? Haven't played a regular game yet so haven't see if it's there.

I cannot wait for it to come out. Warlock 1 was a really good wargame, imo. It scratched a certain itch.

It should already be out, if you pre-order you get instant access to all except the editor.

Anyone got a good Vicky 2 mod to recommend? Extended timeline/overhaul or anything really, being that Ultimate seems a buggy mess and probably discontinued.

Googling I came up with /gsg, which seemed interesting until I installed it; noticed they replaced Clergy with "Intellectuals" and the sound of a thousand fedoras engulfed my brain.

What CB do i need in Vic2 to conquer a satellite directly, or do I first need to unsphere? Can I DoW the controller first and add as war goal? It's not a colony afaik, so place in the sun shouldn't work.

What's a fun Brazil-like country in Victoria 2?

With at least 1-2 of the below:

Secondary or lower, but not unciv
possibly non-European
Fair size, 3-4 states at start
Some obvious expansion directions (best would be core recovery, or a bigger formable nation)
NNM is an acceptable mod

Basically I want something like an ex-colony or civilized that I can build up to be a Major and industrialized powerhouse; I do that with Brazil all the time so need a change of scenery.

Mexico? One of the Northwest african countries? Egypt?
