I'll release Hungary, mod her as an independent nation. I hope it it will be hard to stay alive between Russia, Ottoman empire and a still somewhat strong Austria(with cores on me). I'm also planning an AAR for this game.

Georgia seems to be a bigger challenge in VIC but does not seem to exist in Vic2.:confused:
That's correct. Georgia was incorporated to Russian Empire in 1801.

I'll try Russia and become Tzar of All Slavs. I wonder if that event managed into Victoria 2 as a decision. Need to check those in Russian game files.
My second game will be probably Sardinia-Piedmont or USCA.

I was seriously pumped to play the Netherlands first, i mean small but with a large empire and easy enough to understand but my grand plan was to end those naives who think they can revolt from me!!!

Then i played the demo and realised that Belgium is in the British SoI....

Yeah that dream went up in smoke, at least for my FIRST real game.

So now i am either going to do Spain (Medium sized, easy to handle, small overseas empire with room to expand) or perhaps another medium from Europe like Sweden.

You guys decide for me!:D

Tuscany for learning the game, Greece for rebirth of Byzantium(ok, it is cliche) and maybe getting the awesome fascist BYZ flag and then releasing Bohemia as a satellite and play it.

got the same question, i'm not anymore fascist than i'm a commie, but i can't stop loving this scottish fascist avatar :p

There is Nothing wrong with being Fascist, all this entails is strong Nationalism and Militarism, Its those National Socialists you have to worry about........

It might be possible to release Hungary as vassal when starting with Austria. Or just invade Austria as some other nation and force them to release Hungary.
Actually I would not be surprised if you could do it similarly to the way you can choose sides in the ACW, i.e. by event giving you the option to choose to play on as either Austria or Hungary. But time will tell (18 1/2 hours and counting, to be exact).

Personally i prefer patriotism over nationalisim.

Just my preference of course.

Still thinking Spain, altho how hard is it to win the war against the Carlists?

one of my vacation projects is to try and become a great power as the Zulu :D I fear I might have to cheat a little bit at first though.
