I don't know. Last time I played it I was Afghanistan and was trying to conquer the middle east and since it was the furthest I got in V2 I didn't realize at some point the USA would send approximately 2 million soldiers to the shores of Arabia, like 20 boats on every sea tile from there to florida. Another fun one was playing as Texas.

I learned Victoria 1 by playing as Japan, which are good since you can kick Korea's rear end and China's if you got big nards, or try to kick the Dutch and Spanish out of SEA, and they get a historical guaranteed modernization event, at least they did in 1. I never really tried in Victoria 2 though so it might be different,

In the Ireland game I played by 1453 the ERE had taken over all of france, all of the balkans, all of italy, most of northern africa, much of the Near East, and a lot of eastern europe, half of Iberia and wanted Andalusia from me/my dynasty. They were absolutely impossible to deal with the first time I tried a converted save from like 1440 so I loaded it up and spent all of my gold and time just killing one emperor after an other trying to break it up a little bit but they were still a giant problem especially since most of the territory had become culturally greek already if it wasn't cosmopolitaine.

DICKHEAD posted:I used the Victoria 2 Save Game Analyzer once and I had like 5 million people die on both sides in a war against China. 1 million from casualties in a single battle alone iirc. Baron Bonghits always brings up how epic it is to be China and murder Britain's entire workforce in a huge war with your disposable billion man army and collapse there hold on the world.

I don't have the temperament to play as the culture types and stuff that expect you to do war all the time which like I said I wish I could play as Crimea in EU4 but it's a conflict. I guess I just need to let loose. I had trouble playing as the Muslims as well, for that reason, even though I thought it would be epic to start as the Muzzy palermo count and take over italy eventually.

Is it a game where once you've won the battle as both sides there's not really much else to do. I guess for 10 bucks that ain't too bad but I don't think it'd be prudent to break my 420 game count for that kind of experience.

I always neglect naval poo poo when I really shouldn't probably, I just don't got the temperament to deal with moving boats around the water strategically. It would of probably saved my Pueblo game if I had though.

Larry Parrish posted:i tried an iroqouis game just to see if they made it less loving homo with conquest of paradise If I learned anything from my pueblo game I would suggest making a navy that can maybe destroy those guy's boats if you can because it seems like chances are they'll have at least decent armies and decent navies and you'll maybe have one or the other and navies are kinda easier to deal with.

France deliberately just sat on a province they didn't even want to max out my war exhaustion, so I hate them, both in game and in real life.

Quite often the first thing I would do if I am stuck with a female heir who succeeds but is married patrilineally is divorce him because the pope hating me isn't as annoying as other dynasties or my vassals hating me. Also, role playing purposes.

Which is sort of cool since of all things I would never have imagined in this game, Scotland becoming "Alba" when it's run by Irish kings is fairly win.
