"If you couldn't handle Hearts of Iron, you definitely won't be able to handle this."
This worries me. I hope Vicky2 will be more like EU3 than HOI3... micromanagement hell is one of the reasons I can't get into the HOI series.

We had people from the forums visiting us for MP that had never played Vicky before.. they had no problems learning it and playing.

And I hate micro myself.

How you manipulate them, really... I mean I had trouble with my standing army for a bit because the soldier pop count in some territories kept dropping so low that the territory could no longer support the brigade it raised. That's fine, I just couldn't figure out how to make it stop lol

National focus I got, but I mainly used that on colonising. Few times I did try using it to increase soldier pop count it didn't seem to be working too well.

What else... I don't know really. I had lots of revolts, but they were easy to stamp out, and apart from choosing the most appeasing option during events and making sure taxes were low, I just didn't know what else to do really.

Well one thing that is important is to pay your soliders well or they will seriously think about getting another job.
