The Bold Kobold posted:C A Our goal in all of this is to build up international support for restoring our rightful territories: this vote is pretty clearcut in that Morocco is almost assuredly never going to vote for us, so boosting relations with Russia and Hungary is a clear win. The previous vote actually hurt us a bit as, while only Hanover was angered, they have two votes to France and Bavaria's one, and break ties on top of that. B may have been better as it also leaves France weak and western Europe divided into small states. Assuming a victory for A, that leaves Russia, Hungary, France, and Bavaria with highly positive relations and Hanover and Morocco with negative. The next vote, focused on the Near East, we just need to make sure we get at least one of the powers friendly towards us, giving us a slight majority (because, without Hanover, we won't win ties). Then of course we need to hope no one screws us over when it's our turn.

Really the key failure of the EU4 seemed to be to not commit to any one approach: we did a little colonizing, enough to build a money-sink in the new world without the infrastructure to really profit. We did a little converting, enough that thematically we couldn't emulate Azeri Tolerance(tm) without ever quite establishing homogeneity in Iberia. We did a little conquest, but never quite reached the point where we could maintain it against a strong opposition. And then we lost all three, as our colonies revolted, our armies were beaten, and all those oppressed minorities rose up. Andalus's key failure in Victoria 2 seems to have been diplomatic: we've made bad choices strategically at the Congress of Cadiz, both in terms of our demands and in terms of who we supported, that gave us the worst possible outcome. And then our alliances with France and the Bavarians seem to have gotten us little benefit, though we have yet to see how the war works. We kind of do need to rotate between the different parties just because of how Hashim is handling techs, and we seem to have done it in an okay order.

Crazycryodude posted:Oh wow I just looked at the actual numbers and Aristocrats have full 100% weighting towards both socialism and communism, while capitalists are only -10% towards Socialism and -20% towards Communism. Seems like they should be weighted way heavier against it. The middle class all also have full weight towards leftism, which if they can vote is probably where the bulk of the red is coming from. A lot of the underlying variables in V2 are not particularly thought out.

MaxieSatan posted:Now, now, let's be positive about this. Now we have a reactionary tit on his deathbed, with his (hopefully) more liberally-minded son taking over all meaningful aspects of Sultanhood and Kingship. This is actually a common pattern with hereditary authoritarians: they present themselves as a reformer to blunt liberal attempts to disrupt their succession, until they consolidate power. Assad, in 2005, had a big campaign going that presented him as a liberalizer.

Yeah, honestly, as an Imperialist I am content. We have the largest colonial empire in our history, ruling over an area larger than Western Europe in Africa and a population larger than Western Europe in Bengal. With Ibriz, an Andalusian-speaking Gharbian great power, we've ticked off all the boxes. Plus we have pretty borders in our homeland. It's time to consolidate and bring all that wealth home to Iberia.
