Post Your vanilla Victoria II Empire

[Ameise]

The German Empire in 1899, and its posessions.

The Great War has alos just started with France invading Germany. This screenshot was taken before calling up my allies (though I have few).

Badboy is acceptable.

[Fiend]

Behold.. THE TEXASIAN EMPIRE!

[zefert1]

who's the black splotch in the middle?

[Fiend]

I was going to colonize that spot before taking the screenshot but then I CBA'd.

[zefert1]

So the USA/Mexico/United Kingdom didn't colonize it earlier on, that's strange.

[Fiend]

I know, I was waiting for them to colonize it but they refused!

[WittyName]

Russia normally colonises Oregon and continues from there on.

Babylon 1889!



Civilizing as Iraq is a pain, since it doesn't have enough Mashriqui pops. Had to "cheat" and add Misri (Egyptian Arabic) as accepted culture.

HA! It's not Babylon if it doesn't have all of Mesopotamia!

Also, this reminds me to mod the name of the Israeli communist party to "The People's Front of Judaea."
... or is it "The Judean People's Front?"

The Popular Front of Judea.
They've gotten more members lately

First game since the patch. Probably going to make some small mod tweaks and try a smaller South American country.

My eyes!

It's like the cartographer was from the 80s, at a retro disco party, on Opium (or other Luxury Good)

Not the biggest empire many will have seen, but this was a fun game:



Had a brilliantly badly-executed war with the USCA (who I'd already taken two states from) that resulted in Mexico jumping in on their side and pushing me back to the Panama canal, eliminating virtually all my army in the process.

Fortunately, the once-annoying fact that Britain owned the canal zone saved my bacon, as although I didn't have access across it, neither did Mexico or the USCA. The small but modern navy I'd built up was more than enough to hold off the frigates they kept spamming until I could build up enough strength to retake what I'd lost, reduce the USCA to a single state and humiliate Mexico, catapulting me to Great Power status. That lasted about a year, until China westernised and I dropped out. Fortunately my industry score shot me back up to a 5th place finish in 1936.

The UK's score on the other hand was nothing short of preposterous. I finished the game with 9 cruisers and 8 dreadnoughts - having loaded up as the UK I found that they had over 100 dreadnoughts, but were paying interest on their loans at around £2000 a day!

Gran Colombia and the Americas


Europe, Africa and Asia

How come you took Pyongyang instead of the northern part? Where all the iron and coal is o.o

[Fiend]

It's The Doctor!

[Al. I. Cuza]

Austria doesn't seem as weak as everybody claimed it to be...

I probably should have, but until you mentioned it I hadn't even noticed it.

I simply saw the two iron provinces that Pyongyang has and grabbed them. That said, I'm glad I didn't end up sharing a border with scary westernised China.

Still getting used to this whole international bully-boy thing that comes with making GP status.
