I am relatively new to Victoria 2. I had mainly played as Great Powers until today, when I decided I would like to westernize Japan and carry something different out with a country in Asia. I managed to save quite a lot of money while westernizing, and once the thing was over, I started building factories taking in consideration the rgos, a decent professional army, forts, fleets, etc.

The thing is that even when I was a secondary power I couldn't get to see my constructions finished. They would constantly get delayed and delayed, but once I hit 1868 (more or less) literally ALL of them got done in a span of 1 year or something, apparently out of nowhere. And then I just became a Great Power.

Does this have something to do with spheres of influence, major wars, not having enough market techs, the ranking or some mechanic I don't know about?

I understand that portforwarding is the overall best option, but as far as alternatives, I find it annoying that the only possible other routes for hosting is vic 2 games are private VPNs like Hamachi or Radmin.

I haven't used ngrok a lot, and I believe it can only open ports on TCP, does that mean it won't be possible for games to be hosted using it?

Has anyone tried using ngrok before, or used another service for hosting?

For example, is it good to attack in a forest? Which is the numerical advantage needed to attack on a mountain? Every type of terrain army stack?

What is the BEST build in singleplayer? Gold mining wars? Conquering china? How I can get past the infamy limit without fear?

Ok, so the USA has a small army during the early game, and also will usually be busy attacking Mexico, so if you are play as Spain or Britain, is a good idea to attack them before they get too powerful or is it an excellent way to commit suicide as soon the game starts?

Is there any gold and money making province like this? I have negative tariffs thanks to this

Has anyone seen or played any good mods that cover the time period around the napoleonic wars?

I got a new laptop and now gfm stutters and crashes almost instantly into a game. Flags and names won't show either. Black flags and no names.

It's a newer laptop with 16gb of ram, a nvididia, and i7.

Anyway to fix this? Please?

Does anyone know why the decision to form Byzantium isn’t showing for Greece? I have GFM and the Fantasy Nations submod on, I tried enabling Easter Eggs. I checked, the Mods seems to be working as I can form Gran Patria as Mexico so no problems there. For Greece all I see is Renovate Athens and the Megali Idea. Do I need to do Megali first and then it becomes an option? Thank you

Love the mod but I think I've played every nation I'm interested in already.

So I am trying to make a personal mod and to do this I have Two Sicily's as a vassal of France that pays Britain and France annualy, however the event fires every 2 days 2nd jan 4th jan etc, etc does anyone know how to fix this?

Notepad file below

I’m having a game with the Netherlands, I conquered Belgium, invaded almost all indochina and colonized Africa from Cameroon to Zambia. If i lower opinion of Germany, France or Uk they kill me. I need to get into 100 tariffs and poor taxes to survive while i’m just sitting there… What do I do? Do I try to get at war with France/Germany when they start lo sing a war?

I'm a newbie and I'm playing montenegro (with GFM), I conquered serb provinces which are an accepted culture and also my cores. There are around 6000 soldiers there, but they don't count towards my brigade limit. The recruitment mapmode tells me that in all provinces but the capital one there are "no soldier pops that can be recruited". What does that mean?

Once I get intellectuals to 4% in all regions, I just wait until I get the tech which enables me to gain research points by conquering. Well you can't transport your army anywhere because you can't build a fleet, which in turn you can't build until you get ports. To build ports you need the tech for it, which requires around 10k points. So are you just supposed to wait, doing nothing, until you get enough points? At 4% intellectuals and some event I was getting I think 3.6 a day. Please tell me I'm not missing something obvious.

I've got a GFM save on December 11, 1902. Whenever I proceed to December 28th, the game crashes. I've reloaded from different saves to the same result. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the mod, I've cleared caches, no difference except on one occasion it crashed on the 27th. Is there anything I can do to fix this as I'd prefer not to just abandon the save.

Hello , I would ask if anyone wants to join my vic2 server and play in an upcoming campaign this weekend on Saturday at 12-4pm EST and 6-10pm CET

https://discord.gg/RxJqWXtcRu

Isfa is a casual vic 2 community , that is based around having fun yet still allowing for interesting diplo , we welcome new players with open arms since a lot of us despite being vic2 veterans were new players or singleplayer only players

We play with a modified version of HPM to be more balanced for MP

I'm thinking about giving Rhineland to Austria and Poland to Prussia just by using changeowner cheat and play as isolationist UK to see what happens, and I want to use GFM with fantasy formable submod.

Are there any events/decisions that could break the game if I do this?

Sorry for the errors in this english is my first language

I don't know what is wrong with my game but for some reason the number of immigrants to America never surpass more than 600 and USA only gets 300. I have tried everything, I deleted the game completely and the mods but the number remains the same, it does not increase, it seems surreal to me that in vanilla and other mods America in total does not add up to 1000 immigrants, there are only 300 at most from all over the world and therefore there is no way to increase the population, even with all the reforms it never increases. Is there any way to fix this?

So I downloaded a mod, this certain mod is related to "taking care of minorities" if you know what I'm trying to say.

So I went to this mod's files and started changing all those modifiers, so it wouldn't completely cripple me in-game, and I also don't forget to save, but when I join the game It's like I didn't change a thing.

What do I do to fix this? Don't hate on me, please 🙏🙏. We're all a family here!
