So Vicky 2 was on sale on steam for 6.78 or w/e.

So if you guys realllllllly want to play Victoria 2 next I guess I'll tag along.

Though really that's dependent on what expansions everyone is using.

I really don't feel like spending $29.98 on two expansions, for a $6.78 base game.

~~~~~~

Anyone interested in starting up an actual new EU IV game? I am surprised because one expansion I will be buying is WoN, and I want to try it out!

well we all want to play WON but we want to wait a little in case of bugs etc. BUT if we can't get enough people into vic 2, (with both expansions) then most likely we will jus do eu4.

But seriously, don't spend the money on the expansions. I have the the entire game in a rar file already online so I wonder if I sent it to you if you would get everything as well, i gave it to Lotos once and it worked.

I would say if you buy victoria 2, just get the first one that is on sale. The one i have uploaded has the expansions that is needed so my guess is if you extract it onto your original victoria 2 file it will included all the other files needed…..I think.

it seems this will most likely not happen, so it seems we will probably just move on to eu4 WON.

Everyones income tanked. The only people in reasonably good shape are me, Gren and mark. Tornado is losing 500 ducats a month, Naveed about 150, Shin around 100. For some reason my FL went up to about 400 b/c of patch. Also we would need to remake mod so Austria has its bonus, etc.

jeeezuz.....

I read all those patch notes and I don't see anything in them that explains the income loss.

So could somene explain what I misread or missed?

Also ~ Wtf is the forced march nerf?

RAGING ~ Your FL went up because they changed the military buildings to provide force limit boons. (I am pretty sure)

Also ~ I didn't notice a lot of the discipline nerfs in the patch notes, but I feel like at some point I read about them.

Maybe they didn't make it into the final cut.

Great patch for MP I guess. Horrible patch for SP

Should we load up the save in a little mini MP game when we can gather 3-6 guys?

Sounds like a lot of people are having a hard time loading up and playing save games....

It would be hard to continue with the new patch... i think the most fair thing we can do is declare a draw.... everyone will be happy right? :P

- Annexing or Integrating another nation now costs 15 dip power per month, and takes 1 month per basetax.

It's a good patch.

also from what I am reading, every gets beat down after taking 2 or more INDEPENDENT nations. So i wonder why the world hates them…lol for example. Venice vassalize milan and annex romagna and then got raped. Makes sense, they just slowed down the whole CONQUER WORLD BEFORE 1600s mentality.

Im pissed off that you cant take 1 province without getting 20k stacks rising there once or twice a year for 10-15 years

The income loss is because everyone of you has built stock exchanges for income which now makes only production money.You now need government buildings for tax income.And the main income loss is because most of you are above your force limits by a huge number.
The patch is great.The rebels are shit and need fixing

I honestly don't get why people on the forums do the "Oh stop it, you're not supposed to paint the world one color. I for one love my snobby little ten province empire nation. I love seeing how powerful I can get my little 10 province Tuscany or Asian minor"

Who can legitimately say they enjoy sitting infront of EU IV doing nothing? There is no internal country mechanics, the game is 100% about expansion.

OH BUT THE NEW TRADE MECHANICS you say.

Uhhh what is trade even for? its for money, to fuel expansion.

Its like what the fuck, the game is all about expanding the most you can. If I wanted to play some minor, or major, for that matter and sit around every 40 years waiting for AE to burn off, playing whack-a-mole with completely unrealistic rebel stacks, or just to "play the status qou" what is the point?

~~~~

And its obvious this is bullshit. If the majority of the players loved "smoking weed and watching the game play out in observer mode" then the forums wouldn't be literally on fire right now.

Dumb bullshit Paradox, what the fuck were you thinking.

Try again luke, nationalism lasts for 30 years now.....*face-palm*

On one hand I get it, yeah in ten years nationalism would likely not be lost by a nations populace; but like people called out anyway....there was arguably no such thing as nationalism back then.

Make the game fun, don't make it tedius and boring.................


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And as far as the world conquests happening before 1600. I have been playing EU IV hardcore for months now, trying desprately to min / max my expansion as quickly as possible and I can't really accomplish all tht much before 1600 anyway.

For the people who want to take it slow, well guess what, that's why the game lasts 400 years. Take your damn time.

But for us that like to min / max our expansion, we had that too in 1.5.

I dunno, I guess I'll have to wait and see when I get home.

From the forum chatter I don't know who I'm going to even play as....

~~~~~

Basically yeah goro, the patch is probably really good. Just needs to fix rebels.

With the exception of the rebel stacks (they've screwed this up before back in EU3) I like the way the new patch looks.

Oh and Mughals makes all it's money through production and trade so we should be fine.

I disagree about the trade and the game being 100% about expansion.
It's a historical simulator.World conquest is just a goal like many others.There is a reason there are buildings in the game.
Buildings allow a small nation to become filthy rich and get massive armies while having few provinces.
Trade serves the same purpose.A good example is GB and Netherlands which almost never have huge land but still make the biggest income.
So basically the game gives you a choice.Make a tall or wide empire.The thing is it is usually easier to make a wide empire.
But anyway i don't like what they are doing with the base tax.Asia is nerfed more now that base tax influences production
