I'm going to miss building navy doomstacks out of nowhere.
Even with maintenance penalties I'm sure the AI is still going to build a million dreadnoughts
How do you guys conduct your armies, anyway? I find my late-game soldier population is nowhere near enough to fight another major power and even if I go out and recruit every single brigade amongst the scattered soldier pops I'm going to find a lot of unreinforceable brigades as soon as I fight and still be massively outnumbered when ANYONE mobilizes.
So, I begin my invasion of Scotland in Europa Universalis 3, but they are allied with Burgundy, you see this wouldn't be a problem for me, but they seem have the ability to shit out a fuck-ton of troops within a few months, and they can have armies with more than 24,000 troops. How the bloody hell am I meant to counter this?

They also get a large army (Highlander event) when you're at war with them before 1500.
After seeing a PCGamer article about Crusader Kings 2, I decided to download the demo.
I imprisoned my children then assassinated them and then killed my brother.
This game is awesome.

I keep killing children who are retarded, or crazy, or just not very good at leading troops because the constant succession rebellions are driving me crazy.

first time playing victoria 2

Hungary united the Three Kingdoms comprising eastern Europe. Ruthenia, Poland, and Hungary. They have an alliance with Croatia and the HRE, and are led by this beast of piety.

First time I've ever seen Hungary do so good.
[editline]23rd February 2013[/editline]
Within another 20 years.

hun strong
Hun weak. Hungary broke apart and all of eastern Europe is one big mess, besides a far northern Rus.

The did succeed in spreading Catholicism into the far into the east, completely breaking most of Cumania and converting most of those states into Catholics, but the funniest this for me was this.

You're a bit too far east, there is no pagans to be found here, atleast for another fifty years.
Besides Hungary and Eastern Europe, this was fairly interesting. The Reconquista was pushed mainly by Genoa and her large array of piety, and gold.

I decided to play Vic2 and chosen Switzerland as my first nation. Economy was constantly in minus. I experimented with other strong western nations,same thing. I then accidently chose Sikkim,and bam i have a stable economy.
Anyway,how do you play Sikkim?
[QUOTE=IPK;39698397]Anyway,how do you play Sikkim?[/QUOTE]
Great job, you just selected the one province nation in the Himalayas that everyone loves to fuck in the ass. Your best bet is to let yourself get sphere'd the UK, and extend control over Nepal and Bhutan.
I know it's kind of early to ask but... which country would you recommend to play MotE as first?
My only problem is how the hell do i get prestige without warring someone
[QUOTE=IPK;39698841]My only problem is how the hell do i get prestige without warring someone[/QUOTE]From technology, you can get alot from the medicine techs in industry and obviously the prestige ones in cultural. If you're looking to bumrush GP status, this is your only way.

culture techs will give you prestige. you can actually get to one of the top 10 spots for prestige if you rush the culture techs.

I wish Hearts of Iron was as versatile as EU or Vicky, the era is fun but it's a bit annoying always getting raped by the Soviet Union as soon as you are at war with the Allies

Why the disagrees with this post? This is the only "Heavy" Vicky 2 mod I can find that integrates NNM, is constantly updated, and expands the economy.
