I swear - it was lifted in 1840 somehow. Thats why I'm reporting it. Now its only me and Netherlands colonising there, if not for me - the whole Oceania will be Dutch !Generalisimo said:

Which isn't too historical anyway
Playing as France I get dragged into defending Egypt (colonial war) vs the OE around 1837/38? After more than 10 years at war and plenty of victories war score never moved from 0%!! is this WAD?
OE would not make any kind of peace with me, so I withdrew my troops and left Egypt to their own fate to see if the war would finally end....it did.

What does everyone make of research in 0.3? As France I have just finished researching my third tech and its January 1854. So thats 18 years to research 3 techs at a requirement of 13 pts each. .
Maybe my economy is to blame. I gain just 0.26 pts per month at 36% education. This costs me £128 per day, 100% education would cost £350 per day. I can't afford this. France makes just £6 per day at 35% tax, 100% tarif, zero army/navy maintenance and 50% crime.
Do other players find research seriously retarded in your own games at all under 0.3? I have not yet played as any other nation.

Yeah, I've never had it as bad as that but even at 100% you are pushed to research much, even with a nation like the UK. That said, I'm still pretty bad at converting pop's, and I mostly leave them as they are, so I guess you could promote a tonne of pop's to clerks and that would help.
Prussia gets it easy though, with 2 events that give them 28 points you can usually get a good tech lead and catch the UK earlier.

I've conquered some provinces but they don't produce anything. in fact, their production efficiency is a big fat 0%. playing as belgium, conquered some south-east asian provinces and korea..
Not sure if it would cause the production efficiency to display as 0, but you need to have convoys to get the goods transported home.Damion said:
You can access/check the status of your convoys from the state overview (left of the crown at the top of the left menu).

Damion said:
Do you have a steamer or clipper factory? If no, have you bought any from the WM? If no, then you probably don't have a convoy. Check the nation screen - click the 'map' box to the left of the crown - and look at the box at the bottom of the column to see how many ships you need in your convoys.
EDIT: bleh. Didn't see there was another page where rafiki already answered you.
How many tags (free/total) are available?
It seems odd that it would be a low level if the countries are a hardcoded array - unless considerations for system resources consumed by the game are a concern? Can we beg/offer sacrifices to Johan for more tags?
Vicky is running sweetly on my clapped-out Celeron333 with 128Mb Pc100 RAM may I add... I did do the terrain map mod but it ran well before that...

You have the TAGs that are used by Victoria (GER, ARG, ITA, BEL, HOL, etc) and 20 free tags (from U00 to U19)... we have recycle many tags from Victoria and we are using many UXX tags... so there isn't many available now.Comrade Alex said:
I know this has been said before, but i'd just like to say its 1880 and the only nation i've found to have iron steamers is Venezuala.. ;-)

ENG start with a steamer factory in 1836, I've saw a lot of monitor, IC and steamers around.
But we arre reviewing this....

In my game as Argentina (5 years or so before) I wiped out the English navy becuase it was all Commerce Raiders, Man-O-War's and Frigates.
Some observations from a US game to the late 1840s, using 1.03b/VIP 0.3/Unofficial DR Patch.
1. This is the most fun I've ever had in Victoria.
2. The US Liberty Party is fantastic!
I industrialized a bit and made some event choices that (unbeknownst to me) turned a considerable fraction of my liberals into anarcho-liberals. I was surprised and a bit worried to see an American population that was 6.6% Anarcho-Liberal ... then I clicked on the party screen, saw the brand new Liberty Party's issues, and realized that I'd been handed an enormous windfall. Protectionism? Full citizenship? They're the Lincoln Republicans sixteen years ahead of schedule! I immediately called an early election. Faced with a choice between the conservative Whigs, the conservative Democrats, the reactionary Know-Nothings, and the anarcho-liberal Liberty Party, the liberal majority in the United States backed the extremists in droves. The money and the Europeans just came rolling in!
3. Unfortunately, this tremendous success was wiped out by Mexico's offer to sell Alta California. The price of the sale should probably be included in this event, because I bought it and ended up getting hit with a five hundred thousand pound debt. The interest charges were more than double the maximum possible revenue of the United States at the time. Instant bankruptcy.
I didn't have a recent save.
Please, for the sake of the American public, put Alta California's cost in the event text! And it seems a little silly to me to offer the event in the first place, since I cannot possibly see a way for the US player to accumulate that much money before the event fires. The US is an industrial powerhouse - but not THAT much of an industrial powerhouse.
4. Canada was wracked by revolts throughout the game, and the British did a very poor job of controlling them. Sault Ste. Marie, Ottawa, London and Ontario were all held by Rebel Scum for long periods of time. Victoria revolted and formed Columbia as an independent nation, which was then conquered and annexed by the British East India Company.
This seems a little broken.

This is probably a really dumb question, but... does VIP have World War 1 in it?
I've never seen it ever, but then I've never seen a historical Germany, so not surprising I guess.
...
Yup, I see it does have it after ripping into the event file, so ignore.

Not ATM. The problem with WW1 is that everything would have to right from 1836-1914. And like that's EVER gonna happen.
This is not say that it couldn't happen. But with the myriad possibilities, it's just very, very unlikely. Now, as an adjunct to this, there aren't many events dealing with things post-1870 really. So the shifts in alliances in Europe aren't currently represented (like the Three Emperors Alliance), and the colony race is still in its infancy. So, most of the important lead up stuff isn't in yet.
Dont know if this has been reported earlier, but all the new larger US states split to original vanilla vicky sizes if anyone else than USA has them.
It is a known issue...Rokka said:
That change is only implemented in the USA.inc file and not in the province.csv file (like it should be to be permanent) to be able to go back to the old setup easilly if we had many complains...
But we haven't seen even 1 complain, so i suposse that in the next version you will see that in the province.csv file.
