It looks amazing and definitely amusing too, but did any of you notice how much he kept on spending on education and crime fighting? ;)

OK, I'll rephrase, not strange in the "weird" sense, but strange in the sense that movies usually use .mov or.avi or something while .exe's found on private webs can contain all sorts of viruses and trojans and password sniffers and other yucky things.

But then again, I work with computer security (among other things), so I have to be a sceptic by nature :D ;)

Yeah I've been thinking that for a while now, I thought it was how people were going to vote. But after seeing the election results in the Mexican AAR it looks like that it is just the populations Ideology, and that there might only be two options for that pie graph conservative or socialist.

Ok, two questions, regarding the things we see in the vid. I used the screenshot-program HyperSnap DX to continually make screenshots with an interval of one second. This way, I can analyze the video to full extent, so if the fellow forumites don't know what the heck I'm talking about, because they didn't see it, I can upload these screenshots. Now the issues:

1. In the video, we see the factories in Svealand. The explosives factory lacks resources, that's why it is shut down. It's productivity was 2/5, which propably means, that 2 POPs work there, while 5 could work there maximum. After closing the factory, these 2 pops vanish. In the same moment, the productivity of the local ammunition factory increases by one. The computer propably transferred the newly unemployed pops automatically. But, where has the second pop gone? My guess is, that it was automatically assigned to an RGO, which leads to a special question: If RGOs (and the pops working there) are province-based and factories (along with their workers) are state-based, how does the transferring of pops between the two work? Are the pops in the factory screen the same as in all the provinces, or is it a total independent realm? I mean, if I take pops from the RGO in Stockholm to let them work in a factory, they 'leave' the province of Stockholm and thereby become homeless, don't they? If I kick them out of the factory, could they go to a RGO in another province, or will every pop have an encoded residence, forcing this pop to return to Stockholm, where he originally came from? (tough one)

2. We also see how trading works. The trade orders for fabric are changed, so it does not buy them, if the price drops below 2, but sells them if the price rises above 10 (which is the case in this particular scenario). The computer automatically sells nearly the whole stock of fabric, around 400 units. Yet, it seemed to have no influence on the market. The price of fabric stayed the same. And the column "market", which I presume is the amount of goods currently traded on the world market, didn't change either. Is 400 units of fabric so few, that it has absolutely now consequences, or doesn't Victoria feature such fluid market behaviour (at least not at that point shown in the video)

Maybe a few people understand what I mean and answer, even if you don't know, speculate ;)

They don't vanish, they both go to the POP screen down the bottom of the factory list. One is Auto assigned to the Ammo factory and one is still in the unassigned POP pool when patric closes that screen.

2. We also see how trading works. The trade orders for fabric are changed, so it does not buy them, if the price drops below 2, but sells them if the price rises above 10 (which is the case in this particular scenario).

I think that patric sets Fabric to sell if he has more than 10 units, and because he's producing 2 fabric a day (see earlier in the vid) it displays 12 after that transaction. I guess you might be right about the world market. What we might be seeing there is that it supports negative values but doesn't display them?:wacko: But I was expecting to see them appear in the WM also.

The other thing I noticed about that sale of goods was that the price was 21 pounds per unit and he sold 480ish units so he should of got about 10K but instead only got about 5k in his cash reserves. I don't know if that’s because goods are sold cheaper than they are brought or if it's because he sold so many units that the price decreased for that transaction.

Sorry for the rampant speculation:(:D

I was happily playing HoI and thinking I'd simply wait patiently until Victoria arrived, however after watching your video Patric, I am now foaming at the mouth with rabid desire to paint the globe with Imperial pink. :D

Patric, you are God incarnate. Please please please make another movie. I'd like one with a war please and also showing the political map going over every continent please.

Thanks in advance, only if you make the video.

Nice video, too bad I cant realy use it that much, as soon as something interesting happens the video moves on to something else...grrrr.

The first person who posts a pausable video (either a new one or somehow converting the old exe into some nice format like .mov or .avi) will get to spend the night with my hot sister!

(OK, I admit that I dont actually have a sister, but this maybe gives you an idea of my desperation).
