Hmm there goes twenty pages, and two hours of my life. :D
Perhaps my boss thinks I should be working and not reading VIP AARs.

It's properly best i get back too work now, but thanks for a great AAR OHGamer, i can't wait too get home so i can play myself.

I enjoyed reading this greatly, OHgamer. Hopefully you'll get some time in the future to finish this masterpiece. :)
I don't think he will cause VIP .2 is coming out in the new year sometime and once thats out he may restart it for that version so as to showcase the new version of VIP.

thank you very much for this AAR, especially writing it in elementary level. i just started to play Victoria after three years playing HOI and it helped me so much to understand the game playing. i need to learn more about the politics part then i can go further into details and enjoy much. after all i`m gonna play as Ottomans :) that it is meaningless to play in HOI (as Turkey i mean)

thank you very much again...

More than a year later, and your AAR is still read!

I really loved to read it and it will influence my play-style. Furthermore, I understood a lot of things I hadn't before (which eventually led to disaster).

And you made me buy Revolutions. As another poster said ... I will send you the bill.

Again: Thank you very much.

I'm about to follow your great AAR and I was wondering if your AAR is VIP:R 2.0 compatible?

this ended about a year ago, and most of the information tallies with all versions of VIP

This AAR finally makes me feel that I might have a chance of grasping the game. A small, easy, powerful country with a "How-To" walkthrough I can grasp. I guess I'll give Victoria another try; I always wanted to like the game, but it always confused and frustrated me no matter which country I chose.

So congratulations, you just helped Paradox earn $10. ;)

Learning from an AAR

Played China in basic Vic-Rev and got again wiped out by ENG.
Somany things unclear that I decided to have a go for VIP, and follow the AAR of Ohgamer.
Post nr 3 gives the population-numbers of the states. Where to find these?
If you count the popnumbers of the states you have only a fraction of the given totals. How come?

remember that in game 1 POP = 4 humans

so a 10K farmer POP represents 40,000 actual humans (farmer, wife and 2 children, essentially)

I must say this is a great AAR. I have just read it recently and it has finally taught me how to run a fairly efficient economy in Victoria without having to do an unreasonable amount of micro management. This was always the thing that kept me from playing this game.

Thank you for this AAR and VIP, OHGamer! :)
