Make sure you're trying to build it in a province you have sufficient tech to build railroads in. So no mountain railroads if you only have experimental railroads researched.
I have a question. I KNOW that if you have more freedom in your nation your CBs can be noticed alot quicker then if they are not. I'm playing as Mexico and have not been able to enact a single reform on social or political... that being said it takes less then a day for my justification to be noticed and I gain full infamy for it, every single time... am I missing something?
Yes, I've had near infamy-free acquire states before. Playing as Prussia I got a CB to take a state off Austria's hands for 0.5 infamy. Now, THAT is a deal!
Yeah, that is lucky. My game as france had luck like that, to a bit, Conquests against minors for 10 infamy. I tried to Acquire Guatemala as Mexico 22 INFAMY! SOB
Though it has been repeatedly said, that nothing but luck plays a role in discovery and that it is a fixed 2% per day, i cant help but feeling i cant be that unlucky and it must be something i am doing wrong that i always, always pay more than in vanilla, jingo or not. Yesterday morning, 21.9 infamy for conquest was just a theoretical extreme example of a possibility - yesterday night, it had become reality for me. Troops on borders dont have an effect either, right? Just making sure...
As much as i like the idea in principle, i dont like the implementation to be as luck-dependant as it is.
Say you´d play MP with one other guy and both of you start carving up a third, AI-controlled, nation. If it´s a race (no line of agreed on), the one guy being unlucky with his justifications will get two states, and will be sitting on 22 infamy for it, while the other, lucky guy, may get the rest (whatever number of states, including the capital) and still sit at 0 infamy. The range is far too great to be almost entirely based on luck (jingo still doesnt save you from bad luck) to call it a good balance, imho.

Okay..someone has to at least know if this is even possible, I dunno how this hasn't been answered, perhaps it's the subject matter? It's a game guys you can answer the question, Please my save has been on hold awaiting an answer.
Thank you,
Doesn't that seem odd?
That 20+ percent of my population can desire an allowance of slavery...yet after passing it there is no way to actually implement it?
Hmm, oh well. I'm likely going to reload to an older save....
Taking the US down the path of Communism was fun but ultimately annoying....without capitalists I have to build the countries infastructure on my own....maybe I should try taking the US down the path of an Absolute Monarchy....
Here is another issue I posted in another thread but its better to post it here :ninja:
Issue that comes back as a haunting ghost:
- The AI capitalists choose for example to build fertilizer factory, I sponsor one and it gets built in Edo, filling up with craftsmen. There is no saltpeter, so it must be bought from outside. The factory is running red. Capitalists earning nothing and cant buy any raw materials from abroad.
- I sponsor it and import by state finances saltpeter, and it runs green sometimes but not at all profitable, and it costing my budget alot. Silly thing is capitalist starting only fertilizer projects in other states as well and can never get money to finish it, but they never start any other type of industries, even when I chose national focus on textiles for example.
- This is very dissapointing to see. It was an old problem in the old game, but this is the new expansion AHD so should be more polished in mechanics than a vanilla game i thought, so its dissapointing.
Dont ya agree this is lame?

Is there anyway to see the name of your current leader?
I realize Victoria II isn't focused on characters but I would be just a nice small touch to see the name of a Monarch, or the name of a President etc.

I don't know if this is new with AHD or not, but whenever I enact 'Manifest Destiny' as the US, it peaces me out of war with Mexico. Which is, of course, very annoying. Never noticed it in vanilla.
Any chance those of you whom know so much can update the Vicky Wiki?

A few other still weird/unbalanced/unrealistic things in game: (1836 scenario)
1) beifaren of China now has only 4% literacy (10% before AHD) like manchu, which explains the drop in overall literacy in AHD
2) Hawaii has 80% literacy as a primitive nation...
3) Abu Dhabi at 30% literacy, Afghanistan at 15%...
4) and of course the 40% literacy of Japan since vanilla...
Not sure how Paradox decided the data, but the devs probably won't bother to explain/tell us...
Also, controlled by AI, the substates of China are only interested in building massive worthless troops and promoting bureaucrats (their education spending are always near min, hence low literacy throughout the game and worthless to conquer).

Your head of government is the generic leader of the ruling party.
Ok, what is wrong with the 'invest' option for projects?
I invest the max it needs to open and... suddenly it just needs more cash. I invest max, needs more cash. I got to the point where it was asking for 0.0$ but just refused to open.
