I'll start as the Netherlands. Yay for my home country! (and those Belgians better beware :p)

@Crazystars: note that this isn't a mod. It's a sequel.

I'll probably give all of the majors a shot, with the possible exception of Russia and Britain.

Also, I'd like to try to industrialize with China. :cool:

Austria had always a strange appeal to me too.

Well its Austria or Sardinia-Piedmont for me.

As my tradition has become with every Paradox release, I always play one big failure game with Norway :rofl: Good way to learn basics with a small nation. but then im gonna move on a huge step... to China, so big! :eek:

I hope China will be in playable state, even though a country in trouble in the period, it might be a challenge? Maybe I can win the Opium Wars. In the previous game there was no alternative event with China winning that so you had to spam-beg UK for peace and perhaps in the end they let you alone.

Vicky being the only EU game I can actually play Brazil and make it something out of it, I'd say Brazil...followed by some strong minor like Belgium, Netherlands or Sardinia.

I was never a fan of the major powers in Vicky mainly because the micromanagement just got totally out of hand. Playing UK felt like a shore not a game. Don't get me wrong, I'm a micromanager at heart, but Vicky really did teach me about my limits.

That said who knows how V2 will turn out, maybe majors will be fun to play and I'll be playing a lot with major powers.

Haha. Yes, the micromanagement could be tedious some times, but i like it if its not too cumbersome. When playing China for example with all those POPs takes forever to turn them into clerks and craftsmen. I could sit for hours just converting a billion POPs, and then I remember I wished for an automated function! So many people! The empire needs a regional governor whom to assign these menial tasks!

So i hope for Vicky2 there could be an option of converting POPs quicker. Basically turn POPs of type X into POPs of type Y, with N number of iterations. When you have 30 POPs in Nangchang that is without work, and a size 30 canned food factory, it will come in handy.

It should also be possible to do this with unit building, so you tell the game how many of unit Z you want (like in old Vicky) and it will queue them up and build them as money and resources become available. It was also a bit cumbersome in the old game i remember when you had to stock up materials before you could order the building. The game could then indicate what wares are needed and you could then trade for them, or automate.

France of course :) ! I just love to race for exploring and colonizing Afrika fells like a game of go. Btw I also hope a exploration part will be included (for large parts of Afrika which were discovered in 1936...) but this is another topic and I will look for a corresponding thread. Is there one ?
I also like the south american countries so why not Argentina or Brasil.

Afghanistan was a good pick, with lots of national cultures', neighbours being of that culture and good diverse resources around. Plus, it was uncivilized
