Germany vs France

It happens always (in my 8-9 games) after German unification. Every 5 years
they attacks France and always win. At the end of GC France in Europe is
usually reduced to Paris and 3-4 provinces (Russia is in 90% my games
untouched). Is there any way to correct this (more power to France or
guarantees for France from GBR?)

P.S. Thanks for a great work with VIP.

A few Problems

In the GC campaign the Netherlands can't colonize Asia at the first years, but becouse England can do it before it, Borneo its colonized first, becouse Borneo isn't in Ocenania, its in Asia.

I bet Either Borneo, Java, and others with the same problem should be declared as Oceania, im wrong?

I also notices Romania never declare its independence.

I writed a post, couse this is a problem in both VIP and Standard campaigns

We could have a Bismarck event - he spent a great deal of time and effort trying to make a lasting peace with France after the war. Give them a relations bonus and perhaps pay some reparations?

The Dutch in Indonesia is a problem with how the states were set up. I think OHGamer has a correction for this in the next release. Check the Oceania thread for more info on that.

As for Romania, I think it was a porblem with the event chain. Fixes should be in for next release, but I'll check up on that to be sure.

borneo is in Asia as it should be. problem is that HOL has a later lifting of the colonization ban in Asia than RUS, and RUS has very little to colonize in Asia to complete its historical borders, so it gets the jump on the Dutch.

a couple fixes planned :

HOL have same start date as RUS for colonizing Asia
RUS have to colonize more of Asia - some of the interior regions of Siberia were only explored in the mid-19th C so could legitimately be made "colonizable" and since they are not on the coast no other power would be able to get into Siberia either. Keeps RUS busy while HOL colonizes Indonesia (which is also needing to be trimmed back - should only control Java, S Sumatra and a few smaller Eastern islands, with some claims buildings mixed in to represent older Dutch East India Co holdings.)

it's stored in Victoria\db\country.csv, easily changeable to whatever you like.

Yeah I know, but the Vip file and the vanilla files both textually list it as Light_Blue, but with vanilla you don't see it the same as you do with VIP, it's a more visible or noticeable color or something.

iirc the uniform modification was made a while ago in the graphics forum - have a look there for it.

Correction

I tried the latest patch and this is working better with both issues, 0.3b VIP on last victoria patches.

Ahh also i found a small bug, if you play wallachia, moldavia absorbs you, even when wallachia have the event chain, the Moldavia are triggered first.

if you play Wallachia and become romania some of the events become bugged at the very same year of independence. (to play Wallachia -> Romania i modified events in Moldavia and Wallachia, but this wasnt the bug i was having, was something else related with russia and ottoman wars)

Industrialization, Comercialization and POP issues and Questions

I played some small countries like Swiss, Romania, Argentina, Belgium, and so on, and tried to make em industrial top Countries without TAKING over all coutries like other people do in their games (i did that before and belgium rox for it)

Problems i found is few population in my national borders to become a Industry Giant, even when i tried all like all social reforms in low or more (some at good), i had lots of factory slots free for inmigrants, etc.

In one of my Argentina games hannover had a workforce of more than 180 pops, it was the 3rd industrial nation, how did they manage to do so?

Is there a way to attract more pops to your country without doing pop stealing like i desperately did in some games (take over territories but not whole provinces, so you dont get the factories and all the pops relocate due lack of work, then sell territories back to the owner )

On the other hand i saw a dozen of changes in the latest VIP and Victoria patches and now nations are really industry aggresive, i have no problem witht that, just one, resources, its impossible to import resources like Iron, Coal and Sulphur, why? becouse colonizing nations also use all their resources and the market is blowed up away.

Other thing is prices, i think some of the base prices aren't as they should.
For Example, canned food cost a lot and sells really cheap (mostly becouse of lack of iron in the world i guess)

All this makes resources like stell more profitable than final products like cars (is that possible??), i guess some base prices of final products should be raised, maybe this will help a bit.

I think final products like telephones, cars, aircraft and so on, should be needs for peps maybe, or something that would boost their demand.

Well im just reporting this, maybe some people came up with some solutions or discussions about this issues..

Thanks

Added

Russia becomes top industrial power at some point of the game, and remains within the first 5 along with USA, france, england and prussia (is that right?)

Belgium AI industry rank really messed up becouse of the lack of peps, mostly becouse in the latest patches the calculations of industry power changed a lot as well.

1853 Ctd

I am playing as British India, I have killed off the minor nations that made my nation look like trash. I have positioned my three armies at the border with Russia (because the last time the CTD occoured, it was when I was in war with Burma and England DoW on Russia). Then, it happens. This time sooner than the last. I dont know what the problem is, I hope you do.

Ok thanks

I can't really answer your questions myself, probably Generalissimo or another modder can, but...shouldn't this go in the main discussion thread? That way, feedback is centralized and easier to handle.

 

[unmerged(13520)]

Providing the history file and/or a savegame where this CTD can be reproduced would help to track the problem down (if it hasn't been identified already).

PS: Shouldn't this go in the main discussion thread?

 

[unmerged(13520)]

Thanks for reporting that problem, but I think that all this should go in the main discussion thread, to keep things organized (hey, don't look at me like that...someone has to say it...).

the last lines of the history.txt file will help... also, a compressed saved game too...
