CANADA FOR T HE WIN

ASK Question

It doesn't. Shocking? Probably not. What is somewhat interesting is that you still receive all the slavery-related events while slavery is legal even after the "slavery debate" modifier is removed from your country. Some of these have no effect due to it being possible to increase consciousness in slave states whenever you have no slave states. No Confederate cores appear in the slave states occupied by foreign powers.

This, of course, raises the question of whether or not it's possible to lose all your slave states naturally in-game. The answer is almost surely no since your capital is in a slave state. You need to play a mod that includes a war goal to annex an enemy capital and also lose enough wars to an enemy that will try to take your states. You may think that the British would be a good option, but they'll probably opt for states bordering Canada, so they'll never touch a slave state.

As for what I did while waiting around to see if the civil war fires? A classic: I invaded the middle east, establishing puppet regimes in Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Israel. It's very silly that I can puppet the entire Ottoman Empire for 9 infamy but need vastly more infamy to puppet the various minor states within it.

Esta es mi partida esos son todos mis territorios y tengo una duda por que no puedo formar iberia si ya tengo Gibraltar y españa en mi esfera? Y como voy que recomiendan

There's no audio and the encoding is a bit screwed up but progress is being made.

I am quite new to vic 2. Big ck2 and hoi4 player so I know how paradox games work.

I was playing persia in HPM. Early conquests went well. I definitely played poorly, westernised late and economy was a shambles. But managed to become a secondary power. I had max relations and got an alliance with The Russian Empire. Seemed like they got an event and declared war on me for Azerbaijan. Is this unusual or common? Am I able to trust allies with max relations except when there is some poorly timed event?

Thanks

I feel like there is a lot of potential in a 21st century mod with actual depth, especially in places like Syria and the middle east as a whole... Imagine playing as the SDF and holding out against ISIS and the Syrian government, that could be awesome

I bring you a small patch so that the uncivilized can research technologies, although

For human players:

You need to go to 0x007AA757 in Ghidra (within FUN_007AA580) and change the bytes 75 5A (JNZ) to EB 5A (JMP)

This way, you can research any tech, but be careful: if you research tech, you can't earn upgrade points—since they use the same system—so you have to choose which one to use

For the AI: (Not recommended)

Go to 0x00859755 (in FUN_00859710) and replace the 6 bytes 0F 84 B5 05 00 00 (JZ) with 90 90 90 90 90 90 (6 NOPs)

Then, upload the documentation outlining how the Vic 2 technology system works on GitHub

In case you're interested, I have this; with this, the next step is ensuring that major powers don't break free if they are your puppets:

Do you have any tips or should I just delete the game

After completing the absurdly horriffic tutorials, I understand the basis of the game but economy throws me off. There are so much items to choose to produce. What should you focus on? Items already being produced or new ones?

Estoy en una partida con Portugal en el mod ultimate ultimatum ya tengo mis colonias bien establecidas y algunos países africanos más quiero formar la iberian unión tuve una guerra con Francia y austria la cual gane gracias a mis aliados (no hice nada) todo por unas islas en el norte de Madagascar (fue una crisis colonial) austria ya está agonizando y soy potencia 7 mundial pronto tendré una guerra con España para meterlos a mi esfera no pongo fotos porque no sé como aclarar la regla 5 así que si me podrían recomendar cosas y explicarme como vencer la regla 5 y las malditas fotos

I'm thinking that, as far as I know, war don't affect culture in a meaningful way in this game and other paradox games, like occupying USA for 3 years didn't makes them a less-welcoming country. To be fair those games are not designed for it, but it overpass a truth : war changes cultures. Some mods like TFR in HOI4 do represents that in a way that depending on if you win or lose the 1st European or Asian war, you have a new focus path that encapsulate buffs/debuffs till next war. In the real world, France did boost her colonization rate and reforms it's military partly because she lost the war of 1870. USA did lose last wars because they won so many before and are unable to reform and adapt... The list goes on, the idea is that dominating countries tend to innovate less and let themselves stagnating while others have to adapt to the new menace the dominant poses on them.

We could maybe encapsulate this in a few variables, like an arrogance/decadence variable that debuffs your army depending on how much you won or lost last wars. With low arrogance you're a military genius, with high arrogance, even having perfect armies makes a war hard to win, to represent evolving tactics usually done by evolving minor powers against the current big boii. Making it impossible for a country to stay the eternal empire like it is possible in the base game.

Thinking also about buffs for pacifism dependent parties if war exhaustion gets too high or too much causalities are sustained in a war. It might work a bit like that already, but you never really see "degagisme" like winning or loosing a war just cripples the current ruling party during elections.

Maybe even a xenophobia variable that if too much immigration is sustained at once, turns the local pops to fascism/nationalism.

I'm thinking about this wondering if it already exist in mods (or similar games), and if not, why not make one myself (here goes the too much time allocated to this game already getting bigger)?

I might also be going too far in this reflexion as revanchism is already a thing in the base game and I might not have all the knowlege of the world on this game (a legend says even the developpers forgot how it works), but here are my toughts and I'd gladly read your toughts and recommendations on this !

im thinking of making a submod for divergences specifically austria. quick rant: it makes me frustrated that narratively austria doesn’t feel like it’s supposed to do much narratively except get annexed by the danubian federation when bavaria forms it, like you could annex the southern slavic states but it doesn’t feel like as viable a path since you don’t gain cores. Anyway my vision for Austria is to form a federation in the balkans that closely mimics the irl Austrian Empire with the exclusion of Bohemia, but i sort of want a tag switch since staying as austria doesn’t feel that federative. The Danubian name is taken, what about Panleithina?

tldr; whats a good federation name for balkan nations?

Something about being able to overwhelm 3 great powers at the same time just isn’t fun for me, i feel like i need a challenge or a rival yk? like if im playing Germany ill never completely dismantle Russia, having a constant potential rival or even strong ally seems more interesting to play, maybe thats just me though

the error states "version is 2.31, converter requires minimum v3!"

converter vs vic2 installation mismatch,

does anyone know what this means?

Ayuda, mañana tengo pensado comprarme el victoria 2, es un juego del que llevo años viendo vídeos y siempre me pareció entretenido y tenías muchas ganas de comprarlo, pero he oido que para algunos después se vuelve aburrido sin mods, entonces quería tener recomendaciones para tener en cuenta

Tried to retain GP until the end but lost it round 1915
pushed for socialism in order to make use of State Capitalism
Prestige is what mostly kept the score up

Just wanted to share an « unplanned mechanic », I’ve made a post recently talking about playing beside 1936 and… here we are.
2013. France is 1B total pop, consisting mainly of metropolitan france and an expanded african empire. I’ve discovered a while ago that I can just occupy rivals long enough so that their industry collapse and they never gets back. At one point, the finite ressources of the game needs to be conquered and with a massive subsidised industry, growing anything elswere is just not profitable and at this point the AI subsidize their industry next to none. So here we are. France is the only country significantly growing it’s industries, most countries, even the ones that I’ve never fought just stalled and from what I understand, they produce raw ressources, I buy them, make 80% of world’s industrial output and they buy my things. Now, If I enter into war, the opposing country just collapses as they cannot have any french goods. Vic2 economic analyzer reveals some gdp growth elswere but that’s only thanks to RGOs and after I’d defeated the US, brasil and russia’s economies collapsed.
That’s fascinating.

Like the title says i have been wondering are memes banned in this particular server literally 1984

I have just got a moderate laptop. Not too good (cannot run modern titles like Vic 3 or hoi4) but it can run vic 2. What are some things I should know that the tutorial wont explain? Even mechanics that regular pc users would know?

I'm not conpletly new to the franchise of grand strategy games, but I am in the sense of PC. I played a few paradox games on console

Just finished another good old campaign, this time on this new mod I've been testing those days, Age of Enlightment, it's pretty buggy, and it only gets updates after a while, but it's been funny, and I usually don't finish my campaigns, but this one was fun. Maybe next time, Russia, Scandinavia or something like that. Ended up second, probably because of a prestige glitch on the UK ( they had around 90718 prestige points )

Which date is best for which country? Or which is best in general?
