Charlz Guybon posted:I mean, the main player base is in Europe and North America right? Inexperienced players from there are probably going to pick great European powers or the USA. The classic Victoria piece of advice is always "Start in Brazil" because Brazil in Vicky is basically in the perfect position for the player to start slow and build up into being a power of relevance.

Also, accruing wealth in Victoria 2 was a trap and a joke. You only need to make enough money to keep your country running, anything more is only useful insofar as you have stuff to spend it on.

Yeah, when the job is lovely, it's just a lovely job. But when the job is lovely and also it leads to a poo poo load of your coworkers dying. That really breaks down soldiering into more than just a lovely job into an existential nightmare.

Gort posted:(I never played 1 but people talk about manually splitting and promoting pops and that sounds like some bullshit) It's actually very loving funny, because the solid trick is to have a big clump of population, split into five pieces the two largest pieces being clerks and the three smaller ones being craftsmen, and thus make your factories powerful. Also pop's did auto-split, but you had very manual control of your pops in a very funny degree. edit: Also, in terms of V2 starts, Brazil is the golden one. It's the Untied States (with associated problems and advantages) but (population-wise) smaller and with an Emperor to keep things chill. You get the benefits of monarchy as a control lever for your politics, but you are also safe from european wars, receiving immigration buffs for not being in Europe, and have a bunch of states pre-fail surrounding you to beat up if you so choose. karmicknight fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Jun 10, 2021 |

also, yeah, since they seem to be modelling the leaders of the countries in-game, having them appear in some sort of capacity like in original Vicky (buy dynamic and changing with the change in leadership) seems like it would be possible a kind of cool.

The dark secret that rebels do not get technology bonuses and thus are extremely weak to gas attack, is always a thing I remember when I have to play a country I haven't been running from the start and thus have to deal with militancy.
