Moving swiftley on, what is the best game you have had on Victoria? My personal favorite was the USA on the Grand Campaign.

im at the point where most good games are different ones...
like unifying germany using hannover with none of the helpful events (ie by the sword... once prussia is taken i feel justified in editing the save file to germany)
the best games are normally playing the little guy against the big guys... but then you can also have some really quick ones, like playing tibet... so little happens that you can play most of it at very fast (i got to about 16th place in about 1880 before i aquired a border with russia and had to quit)

Ok then. Here's another one, I've been reading a lot of posts and people keep mentioning Bad Boy points, how do I see how many I've got when I'm playing the game? 
Ohh, in the wider gaming community does that count as a cheat, 'cos I don't want to use cheats. Use to use them in EU2 but they just took away the fun and made it to easy, I would feel guilty and dishonourable(mabay I'm going a bit too far) if I uesd cheats.

Personally I don't consider looking up your badboy value as a cheat, because you could actually calculate it yourself if you kept tab of all the badboy increasing & decreasing actions you took during a game. Looking it up in the console just saves me the hassle.
Ahh good point. So, what does having a high badboy rating actually mean, does it increase the chance of another nation declaring war on you and stuff like that, and is there a way of reducing your badboy points?
Bruk said:
Any badboy score over approx 20 gives a chance that a nation (usually a Great Power, and very often the UK) will DoW you in a badboy war. They will have to share a land border with you to do so (but then they may bring in allies who don't). The higher your badboy, the more likely it is (over approx 35 badboy points it is very likely). However, they will also take into account the difference between your military score and theirs before making this decision. Having a significantly higher mil score than anybody else is the one thing that will save you from badboy wars when you have a high badboy score.
Even if you don't end up in badboy wars, having a high badboy (again, over approx 20) will make it harder for you to make trade deals (ie for tech, claims or land). Again, the higher the badboy score, the harder (more expensive) it will be.
There are only 2 ways to reduce badboy:
1. Wait. It will reduce automatically by 0.5 BB points per year.
2. Release satellites. This will drop your badboy score by 1 BB point per province released to the new satellite/s.
3. Any provinces given to the AI in a lost war will result in a reduction of 1 BB per province. So you could give them former Nejd provinces and avoid continuing a pointless BB war.

Really? I wasn't aware of that. It's not mentioned at VickyWiki either.
Unfortunately I can vouch for it. Although other players have pointed it out previously.

Thanks everyone, but I've got another question, is there a way of looking at the badboy points of other countries?
check the save game or load up as another country. To do that change your multiplayer name and then you can load up as whoever you want
Ok, thanks. I've got another question but not abuot badboy points. I've been playing a very good game as Japan on the "Grand Campaign" and recently conquered Korea but, as normally happens the revolt risk in my newly aquired provences slowly started to rise and revolts ocoured frequently but unusually and rather bizzarly POPs that had a millitancy of 0 were revolting, how can this happen?
Oh, and another thing this time to do with politics. In the population section of the control panel 95% of my population were Conservative (in ideaology) and the main dominant and secondary isseus were polices that the conservative party had but for the past 15 years the liberal party have been winning over 60% of the vote, why is this happening when qutie clearly my people favour the Conservative party and its policies.

I think u should be slapped.
jk For 10 years or so all conqured provinces have a high RR (with or w/o high mil). nothing u can do except take it like a man.
Bruk said:
Yep, the revolt risk is due to nationalism. It will gradually rise for 10 years and then suddenlt dissappear for good.
Bruk said:
I'm guessing your voting rights aren't Universal Suffrage. The graph will always show the political stats for your whole population, but if, for example your voting rights are Wealth (which would be my guess), your poor class (who are usually solidly conservative) won't get to vote.
Also, with the State & Governmant tech, if you chose Populism instead of Establishment your POPs will vote according to their issues (eg free trade, lim citizenship, jingoism) rather than their ideology (eg conservatism).

I've got universal sufferage, sorry i should have mentioned that, and also the State and Governmet tech hasn't been discovered yet although I'm trying to get it to sort the whole thing out 'cos I hate the Liberals free trade policy and the lazzais faire thing.
