My dream has come true! Paradox hinting to something in the works for Victoria 2 again. Please pretty please by a big expansion!

Anyone have a few tips for eu3 multiplayer? About to get into my first multiplayer game tomorrow and I want to at least try not to be the first one knocked out.

Show no mercy and never do anything you won't gain either money or provinces from. People will be dicks to you, push you around, they will invade your land because you're probably terrible at waging pvp wars (everyone is before they get the practice) and you will feel betrayed by at least one allie before the session is over.

Enjoy!(It's actually a lot of fun)

Fourth clue about the new Victoria project: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151662019154816&set=a.10151655543149816.610612.284210044815&type=3&l=5fd335e15d&theater

Still don't have a clue what it's about. I have faith it's going to be super cool either way.

Edit: Actually i literally have a clue right here. Let me rephrase that, i have no idea what the expansion/whatever will be about.

I don't think the rebel controlled provinces are a coincidence either. So maybe a better system for revolts and revolutions. Either way, fix the AI a little and I'll pay whatever it takes for it.

I tried it after 500 hours of vanilla AHD. Some of the production chains can be hard to get into at first seeing as the game wasn't really built for that many wares so it looks messy but after you get a hang of everything it's a lot of fun.

I just alt f4'd Vicky 2 because its loving infuriating. Playing as Sweden, its 1870 and I'm invading the Zulus so that I can colonize Africa from that base which would be a cool idea if The loving British didn't immediately declare war on me after I do anything whatsoever. Had to revert the save after Britain and Russia spontaneously attacked me for the crime of creating cassus belli against Tunis. I'd love to have my glorious socialist Swedes ruling Africa, but it seems like the game really only gives 3 or 4 nations a chance to do so since they start with islands etc off the coast of Africa.

If a great power has friendly reputation with the country you attack, they can intervene in the war. So take countries you know aren't being influenced by any other great powers, get to great power status yourself then decrease other great powers relationships with that country, making it impossible for them to get the intervene option.

If that isn't the case, then you probably went over 25 infamy, which gives every nation on earth a free "contain" CB on you.

Edit: Hint, Sokoto, Oman, Ethiopia.

I liked everything about the stream yesterday. The Eu4 map looks and feels amazing and the Victoria 2 crisis system will make for a lot of cool conflicts that will increase the replay value even more.

I also now just realized that Eu4 won't come out for another 5 months :(

Oh man the new beta HoD patch fixed so many things! First of all, GB can invade France now with the use of a new crossing to Dunkirk. Makes GB way less of a paperweight in main-land Europe. AI's actually use NF focus soldier now, Russia had 280 brigades in 1880 in my latest save. Makes for a more challenging and exciting game. Can't wait for the final patch release with probably even more tweaks.

I'm really liking the newt HoD beta patch Darkrenown/Wiz! I was wondering about something though, and i want to clarify that i know gently caress all about programming AI's.

Would it not work to make it so that if the AI has available ports and a strong economy that they should always 100% of the time start building up enough transport ships to be able to at least transport a good amount of It's army across the world if it needs to? If certain factors like X amount of money and ports are there, the AI BY GOD MUST/WILL build a bunch of transports. So frustrating to watch for example 80k French troops stationed in north Africa standing there unable to get home while French provinces are being capped in Europe.

Edit: Fixed!

I read somewhere that out of sync issues had been completely fixed in Eu4, was that correct? If so, does that mean that people with not as good internet connections can host MP games now? In eu3 if anyone under 1mb upload speed hosted it would increase the OOS rate by a lot.

Your first step should be to buy the expansions. The information overload is hard to deal with sure, but just stick with it. Put the game on speed 3 and just do random stuff. Eventually you will be intrigued when you suddenly see a big world war starting over something small like some countries supporting Greece in getting some cores back from the Ottomans or you find out one of your factories actually run at a surplus and you want to figure out how.
