Right, I’m just gonna go off myself now. Five years, that’s depressing.
Don't do that. Victoria III will be out sooner rather than later. Well, either that or Rome II.
Victoria II
- Thread starter Tellus
- Start date

you should definatley get Viky 2 its one of the best games out there and judging by the path paradox took with EU4 and with the recent CK2 DLCs, Viky 3 won't be nearly as good.
Also i patched my .exe so that it can run in multicore and the game still lags a bit by the end, so while its old, its not so old that it needs an upgrade.
i would love for a patch to fix factory limits, and other minor issues, like geting rid of the dice weighed migration, and a reworked economic engine, but all in all the game runs really well with HOD + NNM+ RGO fix file from the pop mod.
BTW Nice Persia you got there Ben.

PDM: Victoria!
Indian Troops have just burned the Summer Palace in Beijing, freeing Kashigara under an Indian-Chinese Governor. Also, Kurdistan freed itself then was sphered by the NGF by some stupid reason. Now I am planning an attack into Egyptian Iraq and Kurdistan from Indian Persia and Indian Arabia. If all goes weill I also can snatch Southern Egypt and some of French Africa.

@Mr. pollos:
I managed to fix most of my lag issues by turning off advanced water and map transparency, but there's still a bit of lag when there's a lot of stuff going on. How did you patch your .exe to do that? Is it something that can be relatively easily done/explained, or is it a complicated process? I'd be interested in giving it a try if it's not too complicated.
@ThatOneGuy:
Where are you hosting your images? I can't ever seem to see any image you post.

I haven't posted any images (accept for that one some posts ago). I will however post a lot when my game is over.
Oh, I just assumed that your most recent game update had some screenshots I couldn't see.
Sounds like a pretty interesting game, in any case. How are the rankings so far?

Second in Prestige, fifth in Industry and I fluctuate between first and second in military.
@Rand:
I've been meaning to do that as well one of these days. How ridiculous were your score and borders by the end of it?

It was one of the official patches that did that, I don’t know if it was 1.3, HOD, or HOD’s hotfix. But I remember reading t on one of the change logs, my performance did improve after that then again I downloaded HOD after changing computers so…
Also Viky has memory limitations, you can use more ram by using this app

@ThatOneGuy:
That's seriously huge. Easily dwarfs the Mughal Empire, that's for sure.
@Mr. pollos:
Ah, I thought it might have been one of the official ones, but since I only started playing Victoria II after installing all the DLC, I wasn't sure.
Thanks for the link; I'll give it a try.

I know, I have played more into it and Kurdistan has joined the Greater Indian Co-Prosperity Sphere, time to feed.
Depending on available manpower and supply limits, I like to go with one of the below:
5 inf/3 art/1 cav*/1 eng (30k)
10 inf/6 art/2 cav*/2 eng (60k)
Usually utterly destroys anything the AI throws at you, even when outnumbered, and sieges provinces in 15 days tops.
*Preferably a Hussar

I like to go with 6 infantry, 1 Engineer, 2 artillery, and 2 cavalry for 33,000 troops.

Basically, I ate France's colonial empire and gobbled up large chunks of Russia. Score wasn't too ridiculous though, I was 1/1/1 with an industrial score almost 2x the nearest competitor, but that's about it. My military score wasn't incredibly high because I never built any capital ships. Or any ships at all, to be honest. I took colonies by beating them out of France and Britain.
The war score value of one or more provinces just increased significantly in the middle of a war, resulting in the total sum surpassing 100%.
I had only added war goals equaling 96%, but suddenly it increased to 103% resulting in a loss of prestige from not being able to fulfill all of them. Does anyone have any idea why this happened?
