Photos would be nice, an AAR better. But I'm glad to hear from this that a mix of people with different levels of experience with the game can get into it quickly and have fun. It's good that God hasn't forgotten this interface... :)

Did King offer you (the guests) two pills at the start of the day?

"You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and you
believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you stay in
Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." :rolleyes:

EDIT: Really, I got this image into my head and started laughing out loud. :D

I don't know what I'm more excited for: The release of Victoria 2 or Austen getting banned and not having to read his "historical" complaint in every thread. Kidding! Sorta.

Thanks!

The game it's actually a simulator, its sumulates perfectly the efects of political an economical desicions of a country ruler, remember the butterfly effect and you will have the explanation of brazil being a GP in the 40's.

Just think about how something stupid like a flart can change history, if Mary Lincoln had flarted in the middle of the play at the moment of the shot, Abe could have being throwing up in the bathroom, so no murder and a completely diferent course of events :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

At first hearing how bad Mexico AI was doing, I got worried about the AI. But thinking about it, nothing's really wrong with a nation's economy going awry. I'm not sure, but I think Mexico was never that well off economically.

In the AI's favor it had managed to win the war against Texas and it was attempting to remedy the situation. Turns out I was better at that, but only by being more willing to slash funding now for future benefits :p

But in short, both mine and Lurkens experiences tell that the learning curve for Victoria II is well on par with the Paradox average :D

Can all players save the multiplayer game? For example, if the player who made the server suddenly
has problems with his connection for some reason, can any other player save the game and host it
next time?

Can I also save that game and continue it in singleplayer if I wanted (for a reason unknown)?

That sounds quite exploitable though, as it allows players to get complete information about what is happening in other nations.
Isn't this how things are done in EU3 now anyway?
