I already know that, in all likelihood, the answer is no, but is there any possibility of making animated event pictures work in Vicky 2?
Since no existing mods use them I presume the answer is no, but I've been curious about it for a while.
Input, output, throughput which is better?
Recently I've reinstalled Victoria 2 and decided to download the GFM mod (I used the github version) selected the submods I wanted and started the game. The game boots up fine and I select the nation I want to play and hit the play/start button. But then during the loading screen it just closes/crashes randomly at first I thought it might of been an issue with my laptop (which is what I had installed the game on first) so I went to install the game and GFM on my main computer same exact thing happens. Now before this I had tried to install Victoria 2 and the GFM mod and it had loaded the game fine and I could get past the loading screen after selecting a nation but it would crash a day or less after ingame. Is there any reason why this would be happening? I don't think I installed the mod wrong as I just put it where mods normally go but it's been rather annoying having it randomly crash without knowing what the issue is.
I'm a new player, and I like playing as the USA, only problem is when manifest destiny comes, I can't beat Mexico. I've tried mobilizing, but they still demolish my army, What can I do to win?
(also I often play on either HFMP/HPM if that can help)
The year is 2036, and I've managed to get Victoria II running on my quantum computer through 17 different emulators. As I navigate through the ancient UI that makes Windows 95 look futuristic, I decide to play as Belgium.
I start building factories, carefully checking my literacy rate and craftsmen promotion. However, my capitalists decide that what my nation really needs is 47 luxury furniture factories despite there being no wood production on the entire continent.
I check my trade screen, trying to figure out why I can't buy any coal despite being rank 1 in coal production. The answer? My pops have decided they need exactly 99999999 units of coal to make a single top hat.
My army of 30,000 men somehow gets stackwiped by 3 irregulars in the middle of Belgium because they decided to cross a river during a blizzard while having no general. Meanwhile, Prussia has somehow managed to field 999 brigades despite having a population of 12 people.
I try to colonize Africa, but discover that the UK has already created a perfect checkerboard pattern across the entire continent. As I try to justify a war goal, the infamy system decides that taking one province is worth exactly 999.99 infamy.
Checking my population screen, I notice all my craftsmen have spontaneously decided to become clergy, while my clergy are all becoming soldiers, creating some sort of bizarre pop perpetual motion machine. Meanwhile, my liberals are demanding reforms while simultaneously voting against every single reform.
As I watch my economy collapse because the world market decided that grain should cost 999999 pounds per unit, I realize the true victoria was the twos we seconded along the way.
I just installed a new copy of GFM (from GitHub) and the navigation bars + pop up windows are unbearably small. Is there a way to make them bigger?
consejos para jugar con el imperio otomano en vanila por favor
Is there a cheat code??
I have already published another post that touched on the subject but focused more on Spain, but I would like to know the explanation of why, if France began the forced assimilation of other languages long before Spain and with stronger violence and repression, it still maintains its accepted cultures?
I can understand Walon, but Breton? Occitan? And I don't believe the excuse that Spanish centralism was different from French, because France was much, much less representative in the revolutionary era, the first leaders of the revolution being so stupid that they abolished all regional governments and installed a centralist system so excessive that they didn't even have enough bureaucrats. And things didn't improve after the Orleans dynasty, if anything they got worse, even more so if we add the economic and social crisis of France at that time.
I think a more coherent form of this would be a provincial modifier similar to Amazonas in Brazil, where as technologies in education are developed, for example, the level of regional assimilation increases, as does militancy, until around 1880 the decision can be made to eliminate the cores and assimilate completely.
So I'm playing the Carlist route for Spain in the 1830 start. It's 1850 and I've mostly completed the reconquista with the exception of Mexico, who have lost the Mexican American War and had to cede the North of the country, I'm just curious if I'm going to have any decisions or options to expand North after taking Mexico or if I've missed my chance and just have to tolerate the current borders.
I'm looking for mods with which I can create nations, like the Roman Empire with Italy, the Holy Roman Empire, the Japanese Empire or the Golden Circle.
Does anyone know of a mod like this? If possible, with expanded events and decisions?
Brand new player here: I don't understand why HPM reduced the amount of coal and iron provinces in the world. It feels like all this does is handicap the global economy to an unfair degree?
In vanilla whenever I'd have an iron or coal shortage I could at least fix it by conquering a coal/iron province in Africa or Asia. Now not only does HPM remove these provinces, but it also reduces coal/iron provinces in Europe?
What is the reasoning behind this "rebalance", and is there a mod identical to HPM but with the Vanilla iron/coal provinces?
So when I play Age of Enlightenment single player, it keeps crashing during the loading screen usually when it gets initialized. I've tried uninstalling both Vic2 and Age of Enlightenment SP and it just crashes right as the map gets initialized but doesn't crash on the loading screen
I was looking at my slaves demographics and for some reason, amongst the slave population, some polish, Persians and north Italians, Maghrebi, Kurdish and such are slaves.
Mod: ultimate ultimatum 0.8
Which mod do you recommend ?
Hey, so I’m kind of new and I’m in a great war with France and they’re kicking my arse. However I’ve been holding the line somehow waiting for the British to come… I was getting a little bit confused because none of their troops had to come so I decided to tag switch to them and have a look and I’ve realise that they literally have Five stacks of hundred troops in fucking Ireland…
Now they have transport ships to do Naval invasions… So why the fuck are they doing nothing and is there a way to make them useful?… Like a mod or sonethibg?
I am fairly new to the game and just tried playing an Italian nation for the first time, the Papal States. Starting about 6 years into the game I keep getting constant uprisings by Garibaldi's Redshirts coming for my rectum with armies exceeding 20 brigades. They spawn every few months and I cannot get a rest. Needless to say they completely obliterated me, even after I save-scummed and was able to defeat the first few uprisings.
Is this normal? I can't seem to find anyone else complaining about this online. I would gladly take any advise.
I started a game with the Ottomans in 1830, I won all the revolts, including the first war with the Egyptians, but as a result the second war has not been activated until now, it is 1850 and I was unable to annex Egypt, I wanted to know if there is any way to do it even after winning the first Egyptian-Ottoman war.
It's bit of a funny title since there's only guides on beating PRC as ROC, but in CWE there was probably an update to help ROC. When I play as PRC, I have tech advantage, but that's about it. I win all battles and wipe stack after stack, but the Nationalists are not only able to spam many more, but can call USA to dismantle me. Meawhile the Soviets are weirdly cold to me. It would be not so bad, I could sit and ambush each stack, but there's so many of them that they siege my territory with ease. It becomes burdensome really really quick.
