After seeing various political screenshots now from the various parts of the world and different time periods, I would have to guess there is way more country tags in Victoria than in EU2.

That's a work for a maths guy and I am .

See this screen ? There are totals on the last line, for each column. First column is the rank, hence there's a total of the ranks (which is rather dumb), ie 8,256 = 1 + 2 + 3 +... + n, n being the total number of active tags when the screen was taken.

" Maths " say : 8,256 = n(n+1)/2, that's 128 for n. 128 active tags in the beginning of the 1836 GC.

Thanks.
Though it was less important once I saw you had posted
a complete translation

Still it meant I learned something again today

 

[SykoNurse]

direct translation would be "colourpoor" Farbe = colour; arm = poor.

They don't. That's Egypt.

Wow, good job being able to catch all that. Plenty of choices for the aspiring third world enlightened despot.

thanks for translating the review, syko

Frig my twig. That's great.

Thanks for the translation SykoNurse, (it saved me from trying to go through it in my rusty German).

Why was the guy always declaring how complex HoI and Victoria are ? That doesn't really make any sense, Victoria might very well be complex but HoI wasn't complex at all. So far all the Paradox games have been really intuitive from the start. I'd recommed them to anyone interested in historical strategy games.

And I'm not a 'hardcore' player at all...the only games I play are EU2 and occasionally HoI.

Cheers, H.

It's a matter of comparison I guess. HoI is complex if you compare it to e.g. "Quake III"

I'm trying to get to grips with 'Uncommon Valour' - makes EU look like Minesweeper.

he-he, here go the grandiose schemes of our polish friends of recreating poland in the victorian era using the republic of krakow as a springboard

 

[slugo]

thanks for the translation syko

Thanks Nurse for the translation!

The review made me even hungrier for the game...didn´t think that was possible.

However, I don´t like how the guy scares of the "casual gamer". It´s like a movie reviewer would say to his audience: "Hey...this game is too complex for you. Buy a ticket for the next Jackie Chan movie instead." Absurd. It´s like he is scared that his review will make someone buy the game and then be pissed at him because they find it too complex.

And, I also can´t understand why he complains about the graphics....they look great!

Hmmm... The Netherlands still seem to posess Luxemburg and a few other Provinces, interesting.
