Emancipation

[Garuda]

I know this has been discussed before but I coudn't find a thread for it or anything in the stickies:Emancipation of the slaves.

I'm playing my first US game. I've recently won the ACW, it ended seven game years ago. The slaves in the south are continously revolting and as I've won the ACW I was kind of patiently waiting for a freedom of the slaves event or such like to happen. But so far..nada!

So what do I do next? btw I may have just made a big mistake, I granted suffrage hoping that the masses would help make the US greater still, unfortunately I never realised that it gave a better chance of the right-wing parties winning; both of which have slavery as their minority policy. Was this a bad move?

As an aside; I had an event fire that saw Sitting Bull raise the natives in revolt. I dropped a cavalry division in the nextdoor state and decided to create a new General to lead the cavalry against the injuns. Guess who was created by the AI! yep, Gen Custer himself . Was this really random?

All help on the slavery issue would be very much appreciated. Ta!

The reconstruction events are a bit bugged. Darkrenown has modded those events, see the Patches and Mods thread and download it.

General Custer is one of the historical generals in the game and should appear at that time, so no its not random.

As far as emancipation goes, download DR's mod as per the above post. You can also manually fire the event so you can keep playing your current game.

Custer is a great general; go find some war where you need mega calvary running around. Custer turns a column of calvary into human rockets (I maybe quoting Memnon here).

The funny thing about the US is that the easiest way to avoid the ACW altogether is to grant universal suffrage, which guarantees that at least the Democrats rule for ever. This actually sucks as they won't let you raise tarrifs to max (since they are representing the farmers who hated tarrifs).

Won't VIP 0.3 include all DR's mods?

Almost all of them. A couple of them were things DR himself didn't care for, and the vote in VIP went against them, so they won't be in. (The ones that allow a choice of military doctrine and corporate doctrine have been left out, iirc, but can be added by players on top of VIP 0.3.)

*cough* *cough*

And those two aren't even DR's mods.....

I think, in sprit, all mods belong to me.

 

[OriginalRafiki]

Hehe, I guess. That's what the rest of us have in return for you spamming every single thread in here with advertisments for you mods, and even manipulating the rest of us to advocate them as well

Given the Scottish national dish of haggis, spam is a delicacy to be savored and enjoyed.

I'm imagining red hair, a flowing chequered skirt and brandishing a half eaten can of irn bru. Am I close?

DR, I've looked at the VIP threads once or twice and get very confused by it all. Would you say the best thing for me would be to wait for VIP 0.3 to be finished and give that a go? This is as long as its simple to install, you need to bear in mind that I'm the original computer-illiterate idiot; reading the simple to install instructions is like reading russian to me o .

Add in blue face- and body-paint, and I'd say you're there.

Way off actually, I think Memnon just doesn't know his stereotypes

I'd say so, yes. The install is pretty easy, you just click on the installer and point it at your victoria folder.

What? Haggis is much better than spam! Mmm, haggis and a big plate o' tatties...
