Back in the day I loved Victoria, and especially Victoria: Revolutions. Indeed in the later I had one of my all time favourite Paradox game experiences with Portugal. Alas, Victoria II's release and development cycle co-incided with my Paradox lull, and although over the years I have acquired the game and all the DLC I have never truly played it. Indeed, until about a month ago my Steam time in the game was 20 minutes.
However, I want to change that. I also want to write another AAR. I though this was a perfect opportunity (perhaps a perfect opportunity for disaster, but you never know). I have now racked up about 5 hours in game, playing a few years in both Sweden and Brazil just really clicking around learning where (some of) the stuff is. And also to choose which country to play for this AAR.
I have chosen Sweden, because I want to concentrate more on mucking around on the economic side and it seems this would be easier from the start with Sweden. Also Sweden looks to be in a more interesting geopolitical position.
My update schedule is likely to be only 1 or 2 per week. My first game session is likely to be this weekend. Any and all advice is welcomed, but I retain the right to ignore it, mis-interpret it, or perhaps even follow it (though possibly by accident ). My aims for this game are simple enough.
1) Have fun
2) Learn a bit about Victoria II
3) Write an AAR
The game has all DLC and no mods.
I have no set objectives in game, other than I won't be overly ambitious because of the whole "l don't really know what I am doing" angle.
And with that I throw myself on the mercy of the community. Be gentle
