Whats a good nation to start with in vicky 2, is it better to start with a small nation so as not to get overwhelmed or a large one so you have more options?

My first real game was France. It's strong and hard to fail at, but still let's you learn the game while playing it.

HoD looks like an instant buy for me. But I'm wondering, does it do anything to help the economy? Namely fixing it so capitalists don't overvalue small arms factories that shut down the moment they finish it :argh:

I'm literally retarded and I figured those games out. I have faith in you.

I played France first, and it taught me pretty much everything while being too big to fail.

I got Darkest Hour yesterday, and have been having a good time thus far. I can't help noticing some really goofy stuff, though. For instance, USA declared war on Italy, and thus all the Axis without joining the Allies. And then Yugoslavia joined the Axis, left the Axis, declared war on the USA, and then on the Netherlands. The gently caress? In any case it gives me a good chance to invade them as Hungary.


Oh and Italy joined the war early and Germany invaded Denmark/Norway before the low countries, but those are reasonable enough.

This happened in real life.

Hey, you're right. I should have known that from playing Silent Hunter 3 so much but instead my mind went off HoI3 where I never remember it happening that way.

So what the gently caress.




Playing with the beta patch and NNM with hotfix A (I think)


edit: I just noticed that I had that bug in my Greece playthrough too, and only in the capitals in both cases

Yeah, Vicky 2 is my favorite Paradox game. I really hope they keep that series going.

Hello my friends! I'm going to start playing V2 after a long time off and I kind of forgot what to do when it comes to pops. I remember that you go for a certain amount of clergy dudes to get literacy up. After that, what else should a new game focus on? What do aristocrats even do? Should I let capitalists pop up on their own or focus them?

I'd be down for a genocide decision as long as every single nation gets it. It's just a generic "Wipe out the [POPNAME] comprising < 50% of the nation" decision that every nation gets no matter what.


Hell yeah I want a exterminate the jews button as the United States. Maybe it could hurt your interest rates but improve morale??

I hope the Paradox devs are taking note of these fantastic ideas.

It was nice of them to launch a jihad to reform Austria-Hungry.

I'm looking forward to everything Paradox is making. I'm a slave to the Swedes and I love it!
