Why are you all tempting me to pick up Vicky 2 again... especially since I know I’ll just end up doing another “modernize the Ottomans” playthrough.

After playing through a game of Vicky 2 what I'd really like in V3 is for ideology to play a larger role than simply deciding policies. I want to feel the threat of a communist or fascist league of countries and they should generally try to invade or at least hinder liberal countries.

Soylent Pudding posted:One of my more fun games was as the United Socialist States of America and intervening in every great war on behalf of which ever side had socialist governments. I think many players do stuff like that and it’d be great if the AI did as well. At least on a basic level where they become more sympathetic towards countries with similar ideologies.

All those menus  although it’s a bit unrealistic that every law is independent I like how it opens up for fun RP alternatives.

So, do I understand it correctly that there is no international market? I am guessing though countries can trade with each other somehow.

I really like that they seem to avoid hard coding certain historical outcomes and instead try to create a simulation where these process occur naturally as a result of various political, economic and social factors.

Fronts were one of my favorite things in HoI3 and I am happy to see them in Vicky as well well. I just hope that the AI is good enough (but not too good) to handle them autonomously.

One hour-ish to go. Question is if I have the patience to do the tutorials to get the basics or if it’s just better to dive right in.

Not sure the AI’s calculations of relative (potential) strength are correct. As Austria, Prussia started an escalation to attack me and take three of my provinces. But I could easily sway France and Britain to take my side and came away with Silesia and the German leadership.

If I join in the diplomatic play started by an AI nation, how do I get them to add war goals that benefit me as a payment for swaying me?

Nothingtoseehere posted:They may offer so freely (it's a envelope at the top) but there doesn't seem to be any way to demand such from the AI for joining. I've had prussia offer me Venice if I help them beat up Austria (tempting, but no Austria is scary) so it can happen. Okay, too bad. Feels like it should be doable.

Prussia seems super aggressive in trying to annex smaller German states. I’ve had three wars with them as Austria within the first 20 years, but it’s been a real good tutorial in how to fight. It took me a while to realize that I needed to change PM for my barracks to update my troops and actually have a chance to withstand the Prussian onslaught.

Hopefully this is obvious to everyone but I recently realized that you can simply right-click on your commanders in the outline to get them to defend or advance a front.

bees everywhere posted:I'm really enjoying this so far, wish I could pause life and play it more so that's a good sign. I'm on my 2nd ironman attempt as Austria and it's going decently so far despite some setbacks. I’m playing as Austria as well and found that you have to keep hammering Prussia to keep them down. I’ve jumped into almost every diplomatic play to defend the smaller states (mostly so I can gobble them up later) and I think I’m about to totally eclipse Prussia. My army is both bigger and better teched and several of the diplomatic plays have ended with Prussia having to release stuff. Very fun nation to play, can really recommend it.

Dayton Sports Bar posted:Austria’s definitely a fun one. Lots of economic and diplomatic stuff to do, and a ton of potential locked away behind regressive laws and IGs. I’m also only a couple of decades in, around mid-1860s, but my strategy is kind of the same. I’ve built insane amounts of logging camps, iron and coal mines, rye farms, etc. I think I still need to build more because I am lacking in national production of clothes and liquor. But besides that I’m currently expanding my internal arms industry so I don’t have to rely on imports during war, and branching out into more advanced techs such as engines. My biggest problem right now are all the radicals that I don’t know how to deal with.

Well I united Germany as Austria, so a Grossdeutschland. I have millions of radicals, half of the country is unincorporated, and the rest of Europe hates me but still worth it. Not sure I want to keep playing or if it is better to start over with a new country. Feel like I’ve learned a lot about production chains and what to prioritize that I didn’t know when starting the game and that I would like to get right from the beginning.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:That was something that I was wondering because it seems weird that you can't peacefully integrate friendly territories you're allied with and are senior in a customs union but you purposefully have to get them low enough to diplomatic play? Under the culture tab on the left side of the screen you can find a specific section for uniting Germany. Then there are different ways to achieve it but I simply became big enough to scare the rest of the German states to surrender in the Unite Germany diplomatic play.

I’d really like a way to restrict exports to a certain level. It’s stupid that my market is running a 2k deficit on coal because the UK is importing like 4k from me and I can’t do anything about it except increase tariffs somewhat.

Stuff definitely seems to kick off more. Loaded up my 1896 Belgium game and within 5 years the UK, France and Austria all had proletarian uprisings. Austria also had some national uprisings. Might be a coincidence but probably not.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:If you have export routes jacking up the price of goods in your country and you're the one who initiated the route, then feel free to cancel the route. If you are not the one who initiated it, then click the "protect domestic supply" button in the trade window for that good. This will disincentivize other countries from buying your goods by making them more expensive to outsiders. This is something you generally want to do with input goods like cloth or natural resources. I’m hoping they’ll implement a “cancel export” button. Make it give you worse relations and even some infamy if needed, but it’s silly that my internal market is running a 2k deficit on clothes while exporting 4k to France or the UK.

Trying for the Algiers achievement but it’s rough. You start out with two provinces that are lacking some basic goods like wood. To the west you have a strong Morocco and to the east you have Tunisia which is an ottoman subject. My strategy so far has been to become a protectorate for Spain and let them help me fight, while starting to colonize southwards. Thankfully Tunisia joined a native uprising against me and for some reason Austria decided to help me out, so I could annex all of Tunisia in one sweep.

Think my run for the Algeria achievement (become a great power and own Algiers) is doomed. It’s 1900 and although I own large parts of North Africa and have the 20th largest economy I just don’t see me expanding fast enough to hit great power by 1936. I am boxed in by France’s and Great Britain’s colonies and France has a huge army which I have to beat to retake Algiers. The only hope is if I can start a diplomatic play and and get the other great powers who are afraid of France to take my side. Fun achievement but quite hard.

fuf posted:I was weirdly under the impression that military wages on the budget screen don't actually affect barracks wages, but I'm probably totally wrong about that. I'll test it out later. Or do as I’ve done in my Algeria game and go option 4) install decent IGs in the government regardless of the legitimacy hit and prepare to crush the landowners’ revolt.
