Viky 2 is very, very different from EU3. Enjoying EU3 doesn't mean much of anything about whether or not you would enjoy V2.

If you want to get an idea of what V2 is about, browse through the AARs.

My first impression of AHD is "Weird, I just bought the game and it dont show on Gamersgate. And what's the small (2) next to Victoria 2?".

My 5 yo daughter was showing me pictures of cats on my cellphone and distracted me in that critical moment i pressed "Buy" and made me buy a second copy of Victoria 2 instead of the addon! ARRRRRR!
What am I going to do with my Sunday, waiting for Gamersgate tech support to fix my error!

I think I'll re-install an unpatched copy of Victoria 1 and do a world conquest as Krakow.

To be completely honest, I think any more scenarios would be a waste of time. No matter how good they are new features are better.

They're good selling points for expansions though, so I bet we'll see another new scenario (1914?) with the next expansion. If it means better sales and therefore more dev time for bughunting and new features, fine by me.

I think now that scenarios are able to be modded, they shouldn't add anymore in, if modders can do it. I would rather have features, especially army and navy improvements.

First impression, the French translation really sucks :/

Ah I see, thanks. Is there no screen that shows you all of your CB's on all countries however?

Nope, but you can use the diplomatic map mode for that, yellow countries are the ones you got CBs on, hovering over them gives you a tool-tip with the details.

Beware of countries you have other kind of diplomatic relationship with: like an ally, sphereling or military access, I think it doesn't always show the yellow color, the other colors seem to have precedence, the tooltip still works though.

you cant declare war on a puppet or substate, and you cant free a substate, so you need that special CB to take puppet provinces

That's my point you can do the same with a concession CB... go ahead and try you can get Chinese substate's provinces with the concession CB, initially I thought the acquire substate was to annex the whole substate with all its states.

I don't know how the war leader is decided, but its really out of whack right now.. I was playing with Tuscany and was in war against an alliance of France, Papal States and Sardinia Piedmont.

For some reason they were led by SP, not France.. it was pretty early on so there was no way it should've been this way
