  1. The Greatest Lie

    I think the number 1 issue here is why would the American public believe Zimmerman to such an extent that "Anti-British sentiment reaches new highs?" My understanding is that the only telegraph line between Europe and the United States was routed through Britain, and that the vast majority of...

  2. DBWI: World today if the USSR fell in late 80's/early 90's?

    20 years ago, the USSR still had more nuclear missiles than any other country. What would happen to all of them? The whole region was poor and unstable enough during the early 90's recession and the nationalist uprisings, but to have a bunch of squabbling breakaway republics led by ardent...

    The emigration rates are off in that regard. POPs are really quick to migrate outside of Europe, and if you're playing as a European country and have only one or two states outside of Europe people will flock there en masse. Also Iceland, apparently, counts as outside Europe for the purposes of...

  4. A 1774 FH story about "the Empire of America" and London in ruins

    I was reading The Rise and Fall of the British Empire by Lawrence James when I came across this passage. This interested me, so I checked google for an online text or at least a title of this story but failed to find anything. For this passage, James cited a book called Voyages to the West by...

  5. Victoria II

    A bit of a peculiarity about POP assimilation: I conquered Korea as Japan in the mid-1850s (unrealistic to begin with, I know :rolleyes:) and 5 years later about 1/4 the population of Korea is culturally Japanese, without me using any "promote immigration" NFs. I'm no expert on the demographics...

  6. Victoria II

    Also, Sweden has cores on Finland, which iirc they didnt have in Vicky 1... but what do you expect from a Swedish company :rolleyes:

  7. Victoria II

    The 19th century debate over ebonics rages on with no clear victor in sight...

  8. Victoria II

    That might be the number of people represented in POPs, and according to Paradox, the actual population of a country is roughly 4 times the number of all POPs put together, since each unit in a POP is one family.

  9. Victoria II

    Had a great game with the demo. Mexico attacked me out of the blue in 1839, trying to claim Louisiana. I hadn't built up my military at all, so it was a bit close, but I managed to hold them back and white peace out. Five years later, after I'd built up my military, I enacted manifest destiny...

  10. Europa Universalis III

    It just needs to be bigger than theirs. In addition, they won't send you insults while you're at war, so if you don't mind being gamey you can declare war on some remote heathen country that has no way of getting to you and never attacking it.

  11. Victoria; An Empire Under the Sun

    On another note, more details about Victoria 2. Apparently, every country is going to have four different flags, one if they're a monarchy, one if they're a republic, one if they're fascist, and one if they're communist. You can see the Paradox forums avatar versions of all these flags here...

  12. Victoria; An Empire Under the Sun

    You can probably continue past the date it crashed if you saved before then. You should ask Paradox's tech support forum about if if it keeps happening (http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=219). They need to have less than (iirc) -100 prestige for you to be able to attack...

  13. Europa Universalis III

    The term is being in a personal union with them. You haven't inherited them yet. Is it because they keep sending you insults? Minor partners in Personal Unions will constantly send insults to the leading partner if the leading partner has a smaller army than them. What you need to do is get a...

  14. Victoria; An Empire Under the Sun

    Yeah, playing as a German minor usually isn't that fun since you have to do some massive exploits to even begin being successful. I'd recommend never letting the computer handle trade. The AI in that regard is awful and just seems to buy and sell massive amounts of stuff at random times. Just...

  15. Victoria; An Empire Under the Sun

    Knowing paradox, I can pretty much guarantee you that Vicky 2 will have a lot of problems at launch. I'd say just get the original for now, it's pretty cheap and I imagine it will be a few months worth of patches before Victoria 2 is remotely playable. If you want to be cautious, though, you...

  16. Victoria; An Empire Under the Sun

    Alaska is an immigration magnet because of the way immigration is calculated. For one thing, the US gets a hard-coded bonus to immigration while European countries get a penalty to immigration and a bonus to emigration. The US, like in real life during that time period, usually turns out to be...

  17. Europa Universalis III

    That happens because you don't have the permissions set so you can edit it. Go to your Paradox Interactive Folder, right click on the EU3 folder, go to the security tab, press the edit button, give your user "full control," press apply, and now you're able to save.

  18. Europa Universalis III

    Of course It isn't perfect, though, and you'll probably have to do some manual fine-tuning of the map. In addition, since Victoria is a much more event-driven game, it'd make the game a lot more fun if you made some historical events for your game.

  19. Victoria; An Empire Under the Sun

    Not necessarily. Playing a country across multiple games' time periods can (if you know how to mod) produce awesome stuff like this, but the games can still be very enjoyable without going through the trouble. HoI2, HoI3, and EU3 are available on Steam and when it comes out, Vicky 2 will be...

  20. Victoria; An Empire Under the Sun

    Looks like the flag of some sort of German-Scandinavian Union.
