quote:Cons: "Haha, gently caress you" events. I tried to play as Mexico, but it was always an exercise of futility, especially in NNM. For the exact reason I would like to see it succeed, possibly also knocking the US off the Great Power list. The only country that played worse than Mexico without tapping into uncivs was definitely Greece. Not because of laughable literacy, pitiful military and RGOs plentiful only in fruits, goats and fish, but also because their mid-game conservative party is Lessez-Faire instead of Interventionist. The switch happens suddenly, there is no way to prevent it and is barely detectable - you only see that something happens when everything is bankrupting around you. quote:Some of V2's literacy rates are a bit eyebrow-raising, like Afghanistan's 18.3% literacy at start, which is shockingly high for its region. Balance, mostly. It doesn't always make sense, but it keeps Consciousness and Reform Demand down for nations that historically were conservative. Otherwise we would see Austria-Hungary or Russia become constitutional monarchies in no time, which already tends to happen by the end of 19th century.

TheMcD posted:Not necessarily, it's just that the new crisis system ends up loving Greece over fairly often (UK backs Greece over Thessalia, war breaks out, Ottomans poo poo all over Greece while the Brits keep calm and carry on). The AI is still pretty wonky at times. There is one thing worse than being caught into a war over Thessalia while playing Greece. You could actually receive Thessalia, because a Great Power backing up OE happened to be a pussy. You may as well already give it up at the beginning of the first war, not worth being attacked over it every five years.

SickZip posted:Do Bavaria. Vicky2 is best when your playing in the European Thunderdome as a second rate power. Most countries else where have a bad tendancy toward the boring and easy as you have really limited options when you start out and no serious opposition once you get going. Bavaria has lots of possibilities and lots of really powerful enemies in every direction. German minors are a BAD idea. I'm pretty sure NGF just outright annexes you if you're in their SOI when they form the German Empire. That, ot you can refuse and be jumped on by the German Empire almost instantly. TheMcD posted:Gotta be Iraq. You can form loving Babylon, how is that not the best thing ever? You can form the Byzantine Empire as Greece, but it requires actually playing as Greece. Not worth it.

B2. Bavaria seems like an oddly appropriate place to go Maximum Hitler.

Josef bugman posted:Oh sush, we aren't going to have that... probably. Just see RL France which switched through every form of government imaginable (except Proletarian Dictatorship). It went from absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy, revolutionary republic, an empire, an absolute monarchy under Bourbons, a constitutional monarchy under Louis-Phillippe, a republic, an empire under Napoleon III, then a republic again. It stayed like this pretty long until WWII, when it briefly experimented with being a puppet fascist dictatorship.

Patter Song posted:This changes as literacy raises, Consciousness raises (meaning that the social classes will abandon a general acquiescence to a Conservative status quo and start actively taking measures to benefit their class interest...the Capitalists start embracing Liberalism/Anarcho-Liberalism, the Officers Reactionary politics, the Craftsmen Socialism/Communism, etc.), and social/political reform demand reaches a boiling point. Finally, at some point you are going to get the Revolution And Counterrevolution technology, which, among other things, gives rebels a 75% boost to the rate at which they organize their little revolts, which produces Victoria II's famed late game where you're fighting off a new quarter-million man insurgency every two months. Furthermore, as new ideologies unlock, their rebel factions aren't far behind. Actually, no. High Consciousness will make Aristocrats and Officers liberal as everyone else.

BBJoey posted:You missed one type of rebel: Militant Socialists. Halfway between Jacobins and Red Guards, they'll implement a democratic government with a socialist party in charge. They are from NNM/PDM.

Patter Song posted:Next update will be followed by the epilogue and that will end the SGF chapter of our story. At that point, I want to show off an eccentric mod, and my inclinations were to run a few decades (not a whole campaign) in Secret Denmark mod, which many of you are familiar with by now. Tried to search for this mod and managed to find only some mentions on various forums. Where can I download it?
