What's this timeline about?
Hello, and welcome to my first Victoria AAR. Since I've recently purchased both games in the series (as well as the majority of the DLC) I've decided to go ahead and post up my first run through of the second game in narrative AAR form as a sort of experiment to see how good I am at the game, having played and enjoyed Victoria Revolutions several years ago. After sorting around the web for a few tutorials and downloading the highly recommended Popular Demand Mod (Divide by ZERO edition), I got to thinking "what country am I going to play as", and after a brief search around the map I've decided to go ahead and play as one of my favourite African nations in the world; Liberia. Small, relatively out of the way, and with vast rooms for improvement, Liberia has managed to exist to the end of most AARs I've read recently and as a result it seems be a fine 'starter nation'.
Set Up
Since I'm pretty new to the game, I've decided to dive into it on medium difficulty, and include no other mods rather than the aforementioned PDM (I have, however, downloaded two save game analysis programs that will allow me to keep an eye on all the vital economic and military statistics around the world). Every few days (please don't expect much consistency from me), I'll run through a year in the game and after recording most major events that occur around the world in narrative form (along with any changes to statistics like population and economic growth), I will come on here and give an update, and hopefully after 100 solid updates, I'll be able to actually finish a game in the Victoria series all the way to the end.
Anything else?
Not really; I'm just hoping all readers enjoy the experience of seeing me blunder my way through the game without Liberia crashing and burning into the ground. In any case, I will give the first update for 1836 sometime later today; so I hope you all stick around and take some time to respond.
