AHD: What did I miss?
I consider myself a decent Victoria II player.
In Vanilla I industrialized the Ottoman Empire and brought Japan and the USCA into the ranks of a great power and could handel economic problems quite good.
I played two games with AHD now (one with Austria and one with USCA) and in both cases around the 1860s with round about 100-150 factories, my budget falls in a bottomless pit of red numbers my debts are sky rocking high.
My tariffs are at 0 and most of the factories doing fine, but i usally do not focus that much on the commerce technologies.
So, my guess is, that I do not understand the changes in the economic part, which come with AHD.
Do you have any tips how I can avoid this problem?
I just fell like the noob I was years back, when I played Vicky I

A House devided "endless game" possible?
Hey Guys,
first, my english is not very good...I am sorry.
I am a huge "fan" of the american civil war and the wild west.
So, victoria 2 was'nt interesting for me..but now, with "a house devided" it is.
If I got it right, I will be able to select the civil war as a "starting point". Is that correct?
But after that I can just play 4 years???!?!
Or will I be able to play as long, as I want...?
I mean, will I be able to play the civil war for f.e. 20 years (if it will last that long)?
Thank you very much
Doc

Yes, you can start from the outbreak of the civil war and you can play until 1936
Is there any easy way to edit the names of parties in AHD? What about the name of one's country?
Poke around with the localisation files. Your country will be "TAG" and your parties "TAG_liberal", etc.
You get prestige and soldiers.
They have no needs and work less efficiently
I'm not experienced enough to answer the other 2.
3) Myself, I tend to just make factories to keep my POPs employed, and I start where my nation has the critical resources, which also hopefully hyas a significant population. In early game, that tends to be COAL and IRON and LUMBER. So it's really weighted based on the nation and POP.
4) Clergy first, as education helps with research. However, it drives up CON as well. Be aware of that.
You get lots of clergy, tax them so they can't afford luxuries, and don't reform the press at all. Also you avoid going over 10 infamy. Take reforms from time to time to knock it back down, but keeping it down takes high clergy and enough taxes to stop luxury purchases.
Ah, so in the case of nations like Deseret and California republic I'm suposto wait for mexico to fall out of power and the Us to decide to attack it and then decide it wants California and nevadah utah and the civil war to finish, before I get to start the game Iw ant to play? Yeah, thats alot simpler then fixing the issue.
Since this wasn't answered (as far as I know), I thought I'd bump it with an example:
In this picture, I've just started (haven't touched a single button other than clicking on the flag), yet I start out with -12 Mil score.
Look in the tech support subforum. Maybe it is a known problem. Otherwise ask there.
Ok I have the retail DVD version of Victoria II. Which versions of A House Divided will run on it? I guess steam wont?
Is there a way to NOT call on your allies when someone declares war on you? Took Madagascar with Norway (I'm learning so I'm just trying out things) and Ottomans declared war on me to free them. Lost every single one of my allies as noone wanted to assist me.
As far as I know, you can only choose not to call on your allies when you are the nation declaring war.
On that note, why do nations even ally you if they never have plans on assisting you in an offensive, or defensive war?
I know its because they want you to protect them. I ADORE it when a nation allies you, you get attack, they break the alliance, month later, war still going on, do you want to ally?
There is no issue to fix. You have to come to terms with the fact that the game is not designed specifically for you. It has a historically-accurate setup, there is no reason at all that it should have yankee POPs in 1836 just because you wish to play a 100 year game with an ahistorical country from a date when it couldn't have existed in the sense you want to play it.
