List of Vicky terms

[unmerged(81390)]

I thought we needed to have alist of the terms we use here in the Vicky forum, some are used in the whole Paradox forum, others all over the internet and some are obvious although you've never heard it before.
My hope is that this will help n00bs in the future, so that I'll actually be rememberd for something!

Let's get started!

RP=Research points
MP=Manpower OR Machine parts OR Multiplayer
BB=Badboy score, represents balance of power. You earn some for attacking other countries, decreases over time or by releasing satelites or losing wars.
RR=Railroad OR revolt risk.

Capis=Capitalists
Aristos=Aristocrats

CON=Consciousness
MIL=Militancy

OE=Ottoman Empire
USCA=United States of Central America

Cav=Cavalry
Inf=Infantry
Art=Artillery

ConMon=Constitutional Monarchy
LF=Laissez Faire
SC=State Capitalism
FT=Free Trade

Vicky=Victoria:An Empire Under the Sun, sometimes the whole game including the expansion pack
Ricky=Victoria:Revolutions the expansion pack adding lots of features

V.I.P.=A great mod, now only for Revolutions
SR=Southern Revolutions mod

Mod=Modification, usermade and free for download! OR Moderator!
Patch=Made by Paradox to improve the game and remove bugs, free
Expansion pack=Made by Paradox to improve the game and remove bugs costs cash, but adds more and bigger features to the game (like extended timeline, capitalists who actually do things etc. etc.)

SP=Single Player
MP=Multiplayer OR Machine parts OR Manpower

Please help me add more!

RP = Research points
MP = Manpower (or Machine parts)

MP could also be referring to Multiplayer.

BB = Battleships
BC = Battlecrusiers
MON = Monitors OR Monarchy


ENG = Engineer Division

SAT = Satellite
DOM = Dominion (or Dominican Republic, if you are being really really precise).

I'm done. Good idea!

 

[unmerged(81390)]

Actually, I've never heard SAT, DOM or ENG...

BB, BC and MON, are used in the game (same for ENG?) but I've never seen them on the forums...

 

[Orm]

LF = Laissez Faire
SC = State Capitalism
FT = Free Trade
Those are the abbreviations I can remember having seen for party policies.

RR for railroad or revolt risk.

SR=Southern Revolutions mod?

May I suggest the starter of this thread add all subsequent additions to the original post every few weeks... makes it simpler for everyone else, as opposed to reading through the full thread.

I've added suggestions everytime someone posted some!

You haven't added my suggestions. What, am I on your ignore list or something?

 

[unmerged(81390)]

I've added RR, but is those other really used by others then you?

LF is pretty common. The others I have seen, but are not so common.
Anyway, if I use them, doesn't that mean they deserve to be on the list?

 

[unmerged(81390)]

Then people wopuld start using them!

But allright, LF goes on the list...

Free Trade and State Capitalism naturally come up more seldom than Laissez Faire. There are no other Vicky/Ricky-terms that I know of that would conflict with those abbreviations so why not add them? I've seen them used. Are you just going to add terms that you've seen?

BTW, you still haven't added RR that I can see.

 

[unmerged(81390)]

I surrender...

 

[Orm]

Win!
