Victoria 2 17560 After Action Reports (AAR)
* Muslim soldiers refuse to fight without alcohol. What they do with it is a mystery, as they are forbidden to drink it. We think that they want it because everyone else gets some and don't want to be left out.
* Muslim craftsmen, capitalists and artisans have no issues making massive amounts of liquor.
 
Before the creation of modern infantry, armies merely needed clothes to keep operating. A lack of weapons or ammunition would not stop an army, but if a man lost his shirt, he would refuse to fight.

Well.... not all Muslims are strict Muslims. some do drink, just as some Jews eat pork. some Christians even have sex before marriage ;)

However, as an Irishman I find the concept of needing drink to fight quite sensible.
 
* Scientists only really work hard in democratic governments. Obviously, Switzerland will be the first nation to Mars while China will remain an agricultural backwards nation until 2032.
* Cement is more valuable than oil.
* Countries with national healthcare systems multiplies like rabbits.
* Monarchs in constitutional monarchies can at any time declare that the Communist Party should rule the country. For some reason Communist Parties cannot abolish the monarchy, probably because the politburo cannot stop laughing.
* Bureaucrats fight crime.
* A remarkable number of priests are atheists.

Well, bad whisky can be used to clean wounds... :p

And as a person with a healthy amount of Irish friends, if I´m in a pub fight I would say like in Pokemon "Irishman, I chose you!"
 
*That even though your voters ideologies are 53% Conservative, 43% socialist, 3% liberal, and 1% other they manage to elect a Liberal Party in a universal vote system that is based on the voters ideologies. Damn those French-Fries! ARGH!

The fact that a real economist is pointing out how flawed the economy in Victoria 2 is is pretty sad.

Anyways.

*That no matter how rich your capitalists are, they will always lose their money in one way or the other.

*That Railroads are the world's single most valuable type of building.

*That you don't have to pay attention to your nation's economy because it is either saved or screwed no matter what you do.

Well technically he's wrong. It could be said that the Chinese subsidize their goods through currency manipulation and their are now the 2nd largest economy in the world...so props to Vicky 2 on getting the economy right.
 
* Once a Great Power achieved dominance over a nation, they were stuck with it. European nations never declared war on nations that they had achieved concessions from.

* If a European nation fought an exhausted, depleted Great Power, it would accept a white peace rather than getting the concessions it wanted. This is why Italy never managed to take territory from Austria.

* Europeans send their dumbest people to explore Africa. That's why they continually manage to fail to be able to follow a giant river to find the source.

This is coded into the event. It's impossible to find the source of the Nile on the first try.
 
Communist, Facist and Jacobin rebel will while trying to overthrow the government form together and fight the army together.

When Denmark formed Scandinavia all the parties got Swedish names :O

USCA is a very stable and unified country.

Ukranians in the USSR love to migrate and form communities in newly conquered Persia.

To be fair, if I lived in the Ukraine under the USSR, Persia might look like a better option.

Well, perhaps. I could understand a percentage of them violating that taboo, but it does seem silly to me just how alcohol fueled the entire Muslim world is portrayed as in this game.
 
-If Prussia is invading Denmark, then its colonies will have to go to a land-locked germany states.
-Ethiopia can destroy Egypt.
-The Population of Oregon, Southern Idaho, and Washington was almost a million before colonialisim, but dropped to 1 thousand in a few short hours after being controled by America, Britain, or RUsia.
