Hi everyone, I'm considering buying Victoria at the moment, but would like to know - in the game, can you release vassals and play them as you can in EUII? Does anyone know?

yes you can release vassals (Cuba, Australia, Finland, Poland, Serbia,Scotland, Ireland and so on)
but you have no prestige and no ressources in your warehouse (it implies that you have to buy everything, that's very expansive, usually you get a lot of debts unless the vassal has already some industries)
but i repeat there should be a mod, to play such countries without having to load your savegame and with it you should begin with some ressources

It's fairly easy to mod a satellite into existance and give it a sensible starting-point wrt resources and money and such.

Yes, a released vassal is all that, but it also seems to be a technological equal to the master, which is a huge bonus. I would say it is ok to play, it lags behind until you build up some stocks and a little bit of economy, but it's not too bad.

EDIT: Especially if you're playing as Java. You'll be the country with the highest tech level in that region.

yeah but that's not so historical I think!
I admit that I really enjoy playing satellites (especillay Urkaine like Generalissimo ;) or Poland Cuba ia a bit too hard :( )

Only if you declare war on them and fight your way to independence. But satellite is Vic is not like EU, you don't pay the master anything. And I don't think there is a prestige penalty either (can anyone confirm this?).

yes there is a prestige penalty and that's really annoying as when you're playsing with a satellite it is hard to get prestige in the beginning

=> it implies no diplomatic negociations if your prestige is below 0
