EU2-Victoria Converter

[CCR_of_the_Code]

A) Will it have one? I honestly hope it does, that could be pretty cool- 1066-1920 with one engine.
B) For conversions, what is going to happen? Say for instance in my latest game as Byzantium I converted Basrah in about 1816.
Shouldnt it be something like 60% Orthodox, 40% Shiite because it is so recently converted, as opposed to Antalya, which was converted in about 1490?

Regarding a hypothetic converter, I don't remember but I don't think there is any data in the save file that can be used to determine percentages if GV will use that system (which is doubtful). What *can* be done is calculating nationalism, since there is a nationalism date tag which I think never disappears in the save file for determining the limited nationalism in EU2.

That being said, I haven't heard any official regarding a converter for Victoria, so don't get your hopes up... (Even though it would be awesome )

Well I do remember Johan saying that a converter would be no problem to put together (between CK and EU2) so it isn't impossible to imagine...

But that being said I do believe that this is one of the reasons why an 1835, not 1820, start date was chosen - no conversion...

re

Not that hard to make a scenario yourself though if they give out an editor. it would be hard to make a converter as you are going from an older game to a newer one. Ck is older to newer Game Chronologically if you know what i mean...

 

[IEX Totalview]

Well, as much as I love Paradox, their editors have never been terribly useable anyway.

Not that I mind, but you'd likely have to use text files.

 

[unmerged(15764)]

a combination of the two i think would work the best. Hopefully with Victoria we get an editor that works =D

Since Victoria will have no PTI I would think there would be some sort of converting provinces that don't exist in EU2.

 

[CCR_of_the_Code]

PTI?
Anyway, not just that, but culture changes.
Say for instance the Greacification process in Anatolia seen in the EEP, or the non Turkification of Thrace option in GC.

 

[unmerged(8523)]

is this even possible?

from ck to eu one isn't going to have a country not playabe in eu; however if one survives as trebizond, let's say, there's no way a converter could handle that going from eu to victoria...

Areas you can never explore in EU2.

A flag, a group of CBies, not even any events.
All Johan has to do is the basics, the community could fill it in.

While I understand that many players would love to play contunuosly from 1419 to 1920, I myself don´t find it very attracting. That's because I seldom finish an EU II game, and if I do, I'm already in world dominating position (and I suspect that that's the situation for most players). So it certainly wouldn't be very exciting to start Vic as an ÜberLorraine with zilloin provinces and just use Vic as a tool to mop up the rest of the world.

So, no EUII-Vic conversion for me.

Exactly. I'd say, let them waste the resources on something more useful.

THe problem is that with the universal empire the player has constructed in 1819 I don't see the 19th Century happening at all.

The world will remain in an early modern age of aristocracy, serfdom and narrowmindedness.

Hey, my empires are all open-minded, innovative, and encouraging of free trade! Of course, I never conquer more than half of the world.

I did Castile as openminded, innovative and with free trade. Well....I >ended< up that way by the of my world conquest. I admit I had to hurry at the end to conquer China<the last nation left to annex>. They kept colonizing places out in the middle of nowhere. I kept taking all that time between opportunities to get China putting down all the rebellions. It was very messy...but I did manage it in the end. Got it all about six months before the end of the timeline.

did the world map change radically btw. 1820~1835? not really, so i think we could inherit the map from eu2-1820 into a victoria 1835 map.

if paradox links all these titles, they would have a great set of products to offer and compiment each other. think about it CK->EU2->VIC->HOI(?)

wow! play a nation from 1066 until 1948. talk about a business model!

 

[unmerged(2567)]

It oughtn't be too hard to do it by hand, anyway. I've no doubt that, given a bit of time, even if those brilliant Swedes don't do it to begin with that some of this EU group will undertake programming a converter.

 

[USAF_777]

Even without a converter I'll be doing 1066-1948. The editors do work, so all it takes is looking at the city population and relative location of provinces between games. And I really wouldn't get my hopes up about a converter to go all the way to 1948, because of the differences between HOI and EU.
