EU3 to Vic 2

[unmerged(86922)]

Will they do this, I have a united Italy, its 1766, and my game wont last for ever. Can I transport it to Vic 2 when it comes out?

It seems doubtful that Paradox will supply a converter. But the modding community appear to have the save structure sussed, so I'm sure it won't be too long before someone creates their own.

Although Paradox has only said they'll provide a converter for Victoria2 to HoI3, since EU3 uses the same engine I'm sure that enterprising modders will create an EU3-to-Victoria2 converter after the game is released.

What I would love is a converter that lets you convert only your sphere of influence to the next game, the rest of the world is just as it would be at the start of that grand campaign. Yes, there would be oddities like having the USA pop up in parts of North America that your British empire couldn't colonize as Permanent Terra Incognito, but those oddities would be less jarring then the continuation of the tangents from the previous game.

This isn't as critical in the Clausewitz engine as is was in the old Vicky. Back then games converted from EU2 pretty much had brain dead AI, since it wasn't able to adjust to the fact that the world was very different. In Clausewitz this wont be an issue since the AI is far better at adapting to its situation.

Modders make it. Anyway, if Vicky2 comes out in Q2 2010, meaning something like may-august, i'd rather just convert to original Vicky, and maybe later convert the same savegame to Vicky2.

Isnt there a new expansion being planned for EU3? Assuming Paradox has the basics for Victoria 2 down, it shouldnt be too hard to include a converter

The new EU3 expansion isn't extending the time line, so the two games don't match up. I think our best bet is to hope for a future expansion for Victoria 2 that pushes the timeline back to the end of EU3 and includes a converter. Otherwise, I don't see it happening.

I am pretty sure they will do it as it is a popular request.

I think they are striving to make the games more compatible with each other and getting them on the same engine and using compatible maps.

It will be a glorious day when it finally happens anyway.

I would love to be able to have this option.

Yeah, its like the Clausewitz engine was made for mega-campaigns.
