Two quick questions.

[Dyranum]

So, these two things have been troubling me for awhile:
When I go to the screen that shows the resources produced by my colonies, it always states: Primary Goods: Blockade.
And, where are the savegames saved to (for editing them, and deleting them)?

I would appreciate it if anybody could provide the answer to these questions.

Edit: should mention that I stil lget the resources produced by the colonies.

I don't know what the blockade thing means, but save games are within the scenarios folder. Old Europa engine games all have a save game folder within there.

 

[Dyranum]

Eh, my savegames aren't located inside the savegames folder (except for 3 (and of these three 2 are in 1836 and the other in 1841) of my over 20 saves).
So, where are they?

Edit: and they are just some configuration thing for microsoft office outlook.
Edit2: I can't even open the files in the savegames folder.

Are you playing with Vista? If you've installed Victoria within C: Program Files it will hide saves within a virtual folder.

Path goes something like: C: -> User -> AppData -> Local -> VirtualStore -> Program Files -> Paradox Interactive. If you're running on Vista I'd suggest to reinstall on different locastion, like C: Games or something.

That's the caption for the list that follows below it. It's only applicable if you have parts of your territory overseas from where your capital is. During war, enemy ships off the coast of such areas will blockade the transport of goods to your capital from those areas, completely or partially.

Wait, so it's the fault of Vista?
Edit: opened the path you provided and um....they are still in the same troublesome format that I can't open, (.eug and .eug.cfg) how do I open these filetypes and why are there copies of each save file (one .eug and one .eug.cfg)?

Er, sorry but could you please restate that, I didn't quite get what you meant.

One is the actual saved game (.eug), the other (.eug.cfg) is much smaller and contains general configuration info.
I'm not sure how Vista works, but if you right-click on the file and select "Open as..." (or similar), you will be able to choose a program to open it with. Choose MS Notepad or whatever it's called now.

In the screen where you saw the text "Primary goods: Blockade", you have a list of your overseas territories. That text ("Primary goods: Blockade") is just the title of the list, it means nothing to your specific game. The list contains info about your colonies, what they produce and if they are blockaded or not. Blockades only occur during war, if the enemy has a fleet off the coast of one of your colonies. The blockade will then show up as a percentage in the list, and will affect the amount of goods you get from that colony.
If you have no overseas colonies, the list will be empty and you will only see the title of the list.

Ah, okay, I think I get it now, thanks!
Though it still feels stupid to have the Primary Good as Blockade, I'm not really producing blockades. :wacko:
