That is why i am here. To prevent that and take them over.
I never failed to do this in the first part, so why should it be otherwise now.
I am in /jp/, everyone who plays Victoria 2 plays as Japan and takes over Korea and China.

I played a game as China in Vicky 1, I civilized around 1870.

By 1930, my armies were completing the conquest of the Iberian peninsula and South Africa. If I had a bit more time I would have taken America, too.

I usually don't like to have a secondary culture as the most widespread culture of mt empire, so I just satellite China.

I like organized pie-charts. God bless America for it's assimilation rate.

That's kind of true in real life too, the amount of hatred China has for Japan. Wouldn't really want to be in Japan when China becomes the new top world super-power.

By third world you mean uncivilized? There are some with potential to reach world power status. The obvious ones are Japan and China but it's also possible with Korea, Orange(civilized but as backwards and sparse as the boers are, it might as well be considered uncivilized), Persia, Indonesia(playing with save files), and a few others. Basically, it's a matter of population, location, initial RGOs and size.

Also hard mode but not impossible: Mexico (goddamn yankees), other minor german states, Switzerland, Denmark and Greece

Gonna play it either way. Hopefully they overhauled the diplomacy with the gunboat thing. Being fucking powerful and be unable of forcing deals without outright declaring war always frustrated me.

I don't know about the demo but, even in VIP, a mod that is a lot harder than vanilla, it is pretty much impossible to lose as the US(and I am not only talking about wars against Mexico).

Just stack your units and attack them as they come into Texas. By the time the demo ended for me I had won the civil war and taken half of Mexico's territory in the US.

I would love to buy it, but I don't want to get a physical copy because with any luck it'll come with some nasty DRM that will screw over more the buyers than the pirates.
How come it's not available on Steam yet? All the rest of Paradox games are already there.

>> No.5922013

>>5921990
Paradox games have no copy protection, part of the reason why they're so awesome. Also the fact that they listen to and actively engage the community. Just buy it off gamersgate or something (no drm whatsoever), it'll be a while before it appears on steam.

>The decision to create Victoria II was influenced by voting on the Paradox Interactive forums and debate within the company. The CEO of Paradox Interactive, Fredrik Wester, publicly announced his belief that the game would never see a profit while other members of the company such as Johan Andersson were confident it would be profitable. To this end Wester promised that if the game did indeed make a profit he would shave his head and post the pictures onto the forum.[4] This belief stemmed from the first game's lackluster sales numbers. It was revealed in a German interview with Frederik that 70,000 copies would need to be sold in order for Victoria II to be profitable.

Someone gonna get their heads shaved!
