Never in my life in any game have I played as Sweden and had fun but I just did for 5hrs straight. Great game, map is great other than towns that didn’t exist in 18** being there. Great job though dudes, game owns

I stayed up super late because there is always one more thing to build/adjust/change/etc. game seems to have a solid base and I’m quite excited for what the future of it looks like :)

my Scandinavia's 920M

Nice! Is there any other way to form Scandinavia than just taking over Denmark? We had an alliance but they cancelled for whatever reason. They owe me an obligation so I can maybe use that to get them in my market at least? Not sure.

GB is colonizing everything in my game, even the tiny island north of mainland Japan (I forget the name).

I could just suddenly form Scandinavia? By going to the culture screen? Cool I clicked it and got some colonies as well.

Love the economy in this game it’s some poo poo man ahh yeah and I’m going to build skyscrapers maybe because I see Paris has some

Hell yeah got east Borneo to secure oil and doing that pretty much seems like a requirement late since nobody builds oil?

I was losing an insane amount of money and turns out I had subsidized my urban center which was costing me 93k a week … so I’m no longer subsidizing it. Crazy.

Stockholm is the engine capital of the universe!

How do they get Finland in to the fold if they’re still a part of Russia? I don’t see anything about releasing Finland in the diplomatic interactions I can do with Russia

What's the deal with those colonial claims events? You take infamy or cede claims/territory to another colonial power. Are these the result of some diplomatic play, or is it just RNG?

I have a bit of togo, britian has the other half and I got so sick of this happening every 90 days I finally was gently caress it, you can have a claim on it but they never took it (via war I guess) and I still keep getting that claim event. Since like 1880 or something.

Have they fixed the combat division number bug yet? War is the most frustrating thing in the world.

Ahh I had the greatest army in the world, 200+ divisions all well equipped so I started a war with Russia and lost because it was constantly 3 divisions vs 113 (???)

Also Columbia is rough man. How am I supposed to become the king of South America when I’m constantly riding my credit limit building one plantation every few years ahhh.

1.1 changes look good. I’m having a great time with Gran Columbia but I have a general at a HQ with no troops and some troops with no general at another HQ.. can I really not assign the general those troops? I’m about to take over Chile.

Is playing as Persia any fun? So far had two super fun runs as Sweden/Scandinavia and Gran Columbia (I highly recommend you do a Gran Columbia run! The 40s, 50s, and some of the 60s are rough though)

I haven't played this I guess since release really but was watching some videos the other day and got the itch to play again.

My goal is Gran Columbia - I took Ecuador right off the start and am thinking about attacking northern Peru because getting Lima is always pretty sweet but I started with like, no economy at all or very little at least.

I read up on all the 1.5/1.6 changes so I think I have a grasp on local markets and stuff but am wondering how to industrialize such a poor nation anymore - build construction sites and do the local loop of iron/wood I keep seeing videos and slowly build up?

Can I just take Venezuela right now or do they have to be a lower type of power than myself? What's a good way to reduce them to insignificant if that's not an option?

I like the newer army stuff, it's a step in right direction and the next DLC looks pretty sweet (foreign investment will get me to play this a LOT!). I hope they pull it off because I had a lot of fun with this when it came out ... then turned out every play through was basically the same.
