Not much, mostly refining coastlines, adding certain likes and reservoirs, fixing rivers and adding accurate names where possible

I want to say bad things about the mod looking this bad and being this inaccurate but it has quite the amount of flavor so I'm going to refrain and also I'm making this because the other mod that I'm making is taking quite some time

So I just bought a Ryzen 5700x3d from AliExpress and wanted to know if the game does take advantage of the 3d cache

I've been playing Victoria 3 a lot, and although I'm not an expert player, but I think I understood enough to at least enjoy it

Having enjoyed Vic 3, I was keen to play Vic 2, which is said to be just as good or even better.

But I don't know what to expect from the game, is it very different? Is it harder to learn? If anyone can clarify these doubts I would be very grateful.

Hi! i made a map of the states again but for TGC, for different purposes if you find any error let me know!

(( If the quality is bad, go here: https://imgur.com/gallery/tgc-states-map-grand-combination-mod-victoria-2-hHdARva

My Vic 2 have very slow 5th speed and i tried look into task manager. I noticed that my Vic2 use only about 30% of CPU and RAM, 40-50% of GPU. Even with browser open my entire PC use only up to 60% (mostly 55%) of CPU, RAM, GPU.

Is there anything i can do to speed game up?

I am playing as prussia, My friends are playing sweden, uk and france, the only one with high level or even mid level about the game is uk, we had a war bcs i auto triggered the war event when france claims rhineland( i didnt think it would activate if i didnt do anything ) and the war was me, belgium and all the german nations ( not austria bcs i couldnt ally with them bcs i took bohemia) and spain ( spain didnt do nothing i am the only player in my team ) against all the uk colonies and uk, france, sweden denmark, russia and italy ( not unified ) somehow i managed to clear uk and france troops but the russians destroyed my east front and i lost bcs of the british blockades on my economy so i couldnt resupply my troops, rhineland is a country and puppet of france and ostpreuken is part of uk but now almost a year later german pannationalist are going to take hannover, so i will form germany after all that, my question is how can i survive the british blockades? Is there a way to counter it or make industry so it doesnt affect my economy?or i should just save a lot of menos and start round two? Edit: i am playing gfm with submods, 1830 startdate, fluff decisions and more cultures

EDIT: i somehow could form germany from rebellions and annex austria with an event, after that i smashed france for alsace and annex ostpreuken with only war exhaustion in the uk, after that i smashed russia with sweden, but the polish and lithuanian declared war ( from an event that liberates them ) and uk and france attacked me, uk tried a naval invasion and it failed, losing 200k troops and i didnt lose any, in french front the french player attacked me in a mountainous province with a fort lvl 4 and it was a massacre, after that we finish the campaign bcs it was impossible to stop me

Anyone have any idea when it will get updated to 1.15?

so, i have been quite a while playing this game, but i still dont know exactly what happens with the red divisions, do they do less damage? have less hp? or its just because we cant reinforce anymore those troops?

As much as I am a veteran of Paradox games, I never understood Victoria 2 fully.

I've read a few guidebooks, so I take a small power (Colombia, Vallacchia, Serbia...), bring bureaucratic efficiency to 100 percent everywhere, bring the percentage of clerics to 4 percent for research points and literacy, open the first factories where the raw material they use is produced, cure my prestige by researching relevant technologies as early as possible... and here I stop. The factories are never profitable no matter what they produce, the population of workers does not grow, the population of soldiers least of all. In the first war the amount of potential divisions becomes one-tenth of what it was before. I get to 1936 without having accomplished much and with the impression that it was not even possible to do so. Yet, I come here and find people conquering the world with Haiti.

Where on earth am I going wrong?

Firstly what is Civil War edition? It is on sale right now on gog games, and Im minding to buy vicky 2. But I heard somewhere that game won't load if there is no Heart of Darkness edition???

I wonder if someone did something similar? I am concerned about the preservation of rare Ethnos in this this game! Today, after many years of playing, I noticed for the first time that in addition to Ukrainians, a small ethnic group called Rusyns lives in the eastern provinces of the Austrian Empire! I always thought that the game just didn't think it through and calls Ukrainians Rusyns, but I was wrong! the problem is that this nation is not the main one for any country and therefore does not have its own cores wich would protect it from assimilation, at least in its native land! therefore, I went into the game files and set a 10% debuff to the assimilation of this people, the same as that of the Ashkanizi, in order to save this small ethnic group from complete assimilation :)

I'm playing a game in which Egypt defeated the ottomans and declre the arab union/kingdom and is civilized in 1883, I'm used to older versions of GFM in which there were both an event of an Egyptian revolt for the Suez canal and a desision to conquer them but It doesn't seem like It will ever appear, so what happened? and is there a way to save this game? (Images for references)

Idk if it is because of rank or something

Proof that they're an african nation

Basically the title; whenever I launch GFM the map starts flickering and I can only usually play for about a year before the game CTDs. I haven't tested with GFM based mods like ToL, just as a heads up. If you want a visual, it's most similar to what was shown in this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/victoria2/s/eUJ5vh4f96

I've tried a number of things; adjusting my moniter's refresh rate (48 and 60 hz), launching Vicky in DX9 via Steam launch settings, disabling the Steam overlay, running in compatability mode for Windows 7 and 8, GFM's LAA RAM patch, manually setting Vicky's affinity in Task Manager, changing Vicky to high performance through Windows settings, reverting to an older version of GFM off of ModDB before the 1830 start date integration, dropping Fantasy Formables from my mod list (currently GFM, Fluff Decisions, Belle Dark, and More Cultures), cranking up multisampling, cranking down detail, disabling advanced water, reinstalling Vicky, verifying integrity, wiping my GFM folder in Documents, and still no dice. Sometimes I do get runs where there's no screen flickering, but the game still CTDs exactly when I'd expect it to; about a year after starting up the save.

Probably the most frustrating part of this process is the fact that I've seen four or five posts about this same issue and none of them ever got a conclusive answer one way or another. I realize I sound like I'm begging for attention or whining, but I really would like a conclusive "this isn't something you can fix by tweaking settings" at the very least. I've seen one potential explanation being that Vicky is unable to utilize more than one CPU core and that a computer's individual cores may not be strong enough to hold up modded Vicky on its own? I'd be willing to cut my losses and say "oh well, guess I'll make the jump to Alice," but I want to at least know that I've gone through all my options before I do that. Sorry for venting frustration.

I want to make it so that pops stop migrating and/or will tend to migrate out of any province that is overemployed/fully employed and has no capacity left yet still has leftover farmers or labourers. How do i do this?

Title.

I wanna know your opinion on this. I tried the recent Victoria III mod and it was pretty smooth. But it was lacking in flavour. I guess that's the trade off between content and performance huh?
