The Grand Combination My VIC2 progress as Greater German Reich (5)

86 Upvotes

In continuation of my previous progress as Germany

https://www.reddit.com/r/victoria2/comments/1w0vsqs/my_vic2_progress_as_greater_german_reich_4/

-I went to a quick and easy war with Italy, to take my claims in Adriatic coasts, Venezia(German speaking provinces) and Tirol, make them fascists, dismantle their empire from their colonies (half went to France the others to Britain, because i had no interest on them plus -4 infamy) and I gave also to my ally Croatia their beloved Dalmatian coasts

I included the culture map (pic2) because many people in the previous posts were asking

The political reforms are the same as in the previous update.

I am preparing myself for a big war to dismantle France and then England, to free up/de-colonize Africa (i have no desires there)

I have no strong allies right now rather than my satellites and my spheres. At least though, i controll under my sphere of influence, Romania, Baku and Iran for the oilfields and build there petreleum factories.

My army right now is full of tanks(2,3 and even 4 in each army), airplanes, 5 siege stacks of 33k each (with engineers, airplanes, cavalry) for quick carpet-siege purposes

Any suggestions, welcomed :)

Question How do you play an interesting Bulgaria game? (You already get all your cores when released)

10 Upvotes

For comparison, you can start playing as small Serbia for Yugoslavia, small Greece, Wallachia/Moldavia for Romania, Krakow for Poland or to play as Hungary you can wait until 1848 as Austria then chose to play as Hungary in the revolution event. But all of these countries are challenging to play, you are surrounded by big boys and you have to think and strategize how to win multiple wars, plus big nations might avoid allying you early game.

Now you can release and play as Bulgaria in 1836 but then you start with all of your cores which is boring. You don't have to fight your Balkan neighbors, because they don't exist yet or are very small. So what could be an interesting setup to play as Bulgaria?

Question Victoria Universalis

11 Upvotes

Anyone playing the Victoria Universalis mod? I downloaded the latest version from Moddb, but I noticed strange things: the AI ​​cannot add countries to its sphere of influence, the two Sicilies has a unification CB on everyone in Italy. Is this intentional? Does anyone knows if the mod Will receive updates?

Discussion does anyone else pass social reforms and ignore political reforms?

32 Upvotes

Whenever I play Victoria 2, I usually pass the social reforms (especially national healthcare and public school system) but I never pass any political reforms no matter how much my POPs want them (unless I get the opportunity to roll back the political reforms I started with)

I want to play with no voting, no public meetings, no press rights, no trade unions and no political parties.

Is this a viable strategy?

The thing is, I love this game, but I've never learned how to play it properly—I always try to rush ahead and end up forgetting a lot of the mechanics. Any tips?

Divergences of Darkness How does dismantlement work in DoD fanfork

14 Upvotes

So i was in a great war as the Tatar empire,my GP allies were the danubian federation and bohemia-moravia.I was up against the PLC(who also got a conquest cb on me in like 1870 for some reason that was weird),Scandinavia and Burgundy.Now i put a dismantle cb on Burgundy and Scandinavia,Danube put one on the PLC.The war went pretty well(5 million casualties on both sides)and we fully occupied burgundy and plc.But when i peace out with all three dismantles and all that,i get close to nothing.But i saw it only triggers the events after enemy if at peace(burgundy was fighting another country),but i still get barely one event.But Danube gets a lot of colonies and the nations do get dismantled to a degree,but its random. I realoaded a couple of times and its random,i remember gfm worked way differently with dismantles.

Also do you have any suggestions on countries that collapse and must claw their way back to the top,not just in DoD but other mods

GFM Greece Tips

Post image
86 Upvotes

I am currently playing as Greece in GFM. Through careful choices I’ve expanded to gain Crete (declaring on the Eygptians during their second war with the Turks), a little bit of Thessaly (declaring on a scripted Albanian revolt), and Samos (via enosis)

However recently the Turks declared on me for said gains and I almost lost them all. My army is wrecked, the economy is shit, and I can’t find a great power ally for the life of me.

Any tips or events that happen that will help me? It’s 1852 rn.
