You should've probably betrayed your ally already. Don't worry about staying within the state limit too much, once you have the first one or two bonii to Administrative Efficiency just conquer conquer conquer.

Red Bones posted:Is forming Bharat one of the exceptions to the whole "you've achieved all your goals before the end of the 1600s" thing in EU4, or am I just being slow? I started as a Nepalese princedom and by the 1690s I only own the big top half of India, I've still got to betray my ally who owns all of Deccan and eat them. I kept on running into the state limit and just focused on assembling some big marches instead of doing more conquering, was this the wrong choice? Please, keep in mind that people saying their games are over by 1600 usually have hundreds of hours in the game and are very good at it, and probably minmax like hell. And/or just get bored. I do have more than a thousand but I still suck, and I can certify that most of my games are nowhere near done by 1600, more like 1700-1750 or so, depending on what I'm trying to achieve. Sometimes I'm still racing against the clock in 1800...

A Buttery Pastry posted:Yep. Turns out maintaining a mod was way more effort than I could spare, when a single patch can make it stop working altogether and you've not even gotten a single hint of what change caused it to stop working. This is why you should only mod dead games. This is from a few pages back but it's something that frustrates me a lot with the regular updates (which are good don't get me wrong). I get it's harder to keep things compatible every update and sometimes things change enough even with unlimited time you couldn't stop things breaking but it does suck a lot seeing how many mods just become dead because the manpower's not there to update them fast enough or they're trying but hitting unfindable bugs.

Someone on reddit just wrote up this analysis of how Victoria 2's markets actually work: https://www.reddit.com/r/paradoxplaza/comments/cdudtq/a_complete_understanding_of_victoria_2s_markets/ If I'm understanding this correctly, doing foreign investments within your sphere of influence will supercharge your economy because for every factory or railroad you build in a sphereling, more of their exports will be duplicated into the common market for you to buy

Baconomics posted:Someone on reddit just wrote up this analysis of how Victoria 2's markets actually work: It's written out very weirdly, but I think it's actually the opposite. Foreign investments reduce the amount, so you can use foreign investments into countries in an opponent's sphere and starve the sphere master. Edit: Actually, I think I have that wrong. It sounds like a sphered country uses as much of their own production as it can for its own needs. The remainder is lost. Then, between 50% and 100% is duplicated to the sphere lord and other countries in the sphere, based on foreign investment. So if you invest in your sphere, that bonus goes up, but if other countries outside the sphere invest, the bonus goes down. Dr. Arbitrary fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Jul 17, 2019 |

Something that never got mentioned here is the way the Tech and Innovation system works, I really liked that interaction, it's way more fun than EU4 tech levels. And yeah Innovativeness in EU4 can be ignored, it does pretty much nothing and was just a bullet point to have an extra expansion feature. Like a lot of the DLC features it's just tacked on and poorly integrates with the rest of the game. So far I'd have to say HoI4 actually has the best DLC quality. Of course Victoria 3 will have a better DLC system and will be the best game ever made.

In one of my first games in Vicky 2 i played as Brazil just to get the hang of stuff. Since I was gunning for joining the scramble, I tried to boost my industrial score by investing in factories in Bavaria. Turns out this backfired by turning Bavaria into an industrial powerhouse who ended up taking my place.

One economic problem is that a large end game war can cripple demand, because the soldier pops die. You can also ruin the economy by saving up a massive amount of cash and then spend it all on factories and railroads, massively increasing demand so nobody can afford any concrete anymore. The game has so many fun ways to cripple yourself and everybody else.

Paradox has been working on making the most accurate economical simulation possible for Vicky 3 for ages. At one point a junior programmer approached Johan. *swedishly* "herr Johan, you know how we've tasked ourselves with only releasing the most realistic system possible before we release the game?" *swedishly* "yes, thank you for the exposition knut!" "well, we've discovered a way to portray economical interactions at a 1/1 level..." we've been playing vicky 3 since the day we were born. all of us
