My time spent in Victoria’s AAR section has been limited in comments but its one of my favorite areas of the forums. Mostly because the game appeals to me most and the VIP mod is my favorite of all the mods in the forum (although Kaiserreich is a close second.)
As a way to show this appreciation for the mod and the work done around here, I thought I’d commit to a Victoria Russian AAR. Now you may say, “That’s a simple thing” but I assure you, there are a few things I’m adding rule-wise to make it more interesting. Also I'm not a great Victoria player.
The first rules are always self-explanatory but I'll write them anyway: No reloads or cheating. Now, onto the added difficulty. While the mod suggests to play on the normal difficulty level, I’m going to play on “Hard” This will be the first time I’ve ever played on Hard with Vicky so I’ll see how it goes. To be added, I can never become a Democracy nor can I enact reforms or social services of any kind. If a Democracy occurs through Revolution or otherwise, then the AAR will end.
Rule Summary:
No cheating/reload
No Democracy (although other single party governments will be allowed)
Can’t enact social service or reforms
End as #1 in the world
Have the greatest navy in the world
I’m playing on “Above Average” speed so I may miss an event or two.
If you want to suggest other rules/limitations then feel free.
I imagine I’ll be able to do alright with Russia but I’m not a great Vicki player. So if you have any tips I may try, feel free to offer them. Just beware that I usually play pretty quickly and you may not see your tips used until a number of updates later or not in the AAR at all. However I plan to move my productivity from EU3 to both the CK and Vicki forums soon.
Oh, and this is a gameplay AAR.
