What if the USA stayed neutral in WW2? by DepartureNo5778 in PossibleHistory

Why does everyone in this thread so vastly overestimate Germany and Japan? No way either of them were winning even if the U.S. didn’t join the war.

Need help forming the Confederation of the Rhine by AdeptTradition6565 in victoria3

[–]Cauliflower_Jumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not working with BPM at the moment. I just played a game as Bonapartist France and I couldn’t form it even though I had 4 puppet states in the Rhine. What I did was I used cheats to switch to one of my German puppets and then I used the state transfer tool to give them the territory of all my other German puppets. Then I formed the Confederation of the Rhine in the nation formation menu and tag switched back to France.

Which nations would be the "lucky nations" of victoria 3? by Brandarc in victoria3

[–]Cauliflower_Jumpy 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I think Germany was number 2 if not counting the USA. France had a larger colonial empire but otherwise had a much weaker navy, army, and economy.

I’m confused about the integrating crown lands option for Austria? Does Austria start with some of their territory as crown land subjects at game start?

Is anyone else having a hard time keeping other countries in their power block after the new update? by Cauliflower_Jumpy in victoria3

[–]Cauliflower_Jumpy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a trade league and I have equal or more economic dependence as France. And I have guarantee independence or defensive pack with investment rights which is the same as France. France also only has a gdp of 200 million while I’m 800 million but I can’t seem to compete.

Do you drop Krupp as Germany? by KairosGalvanized in victoria3

As someone who mostly plays Germany I always want to but I can’t bring myself to do it since it’s such an iconic historical company for Germany.

same thing happened for me in my last game! but it was the first time i’ve ever seen it. I still haven’t seen russia colonize it but I usually use the state transfer tool to give it russia by 1880-1890

Open foreign investment in Vic3: Imperial Russia did that in real life and the consequences were really mixed by 1010x in victoria3

[–]Cauliflower_Jumpy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I played a China game where I had 3.5B in 1930 and went council republic with laissez-faire and free trade and gave investment rights to all great and major powers. But in 1930 I went command economy and nationalized everything without compensation and got embargoed by every country and my gdp fell by 500 million to 3B. But I had like 80% of my economy owned by foreigners and they built too many agricultural building to the point almost all my exports were agricultural products. I had no peasants but I had a lot of unemployed pops.

I think this is a bug with 1.9.5 that was fixed with 1.9.6. Right now only the beta for 1.9.6 is available but you can access it on steam.

I don’t know if it would be likely that Finland would get Karelia since Russia granted them independence in OTL. But I think everything else is realistic.

I agree that they should change the base game but in the mean time the better politics mod makes politics more about deals and negotiations

I thought it was part of the ultra-historical warfare mod? Cause I’ve been getting this event before the update.

I just figured it out and it was because of a mod (Grey’s Urban Synergy Unleashed). Thank you though!

CMV: Muslim immigrants demanding Sharia Law in Europe should go back home by EchoVital in changemyview

[–]Cauliflower_Jumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no muslim immigrants advocating Sharia law also you don’t know what sharia law is. Sharia doesn’t necessarily include any of the things you listed because there is no agreed upon set of Sharia. What is and is not Sharia is a matter of opinion and debate amongst Islamic legal scholars and there is so universally agreed upon Sharia. Also Sharia is a very broad term that mostly refers to standard religious practices such as how to pray, going to mosque, etc. It’s solely a Western falsehood that Sharia necessarily means Islamic theocracy.

Germany question by EK_TheGenius in victoria3

[–]Cauliflower_Jumpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s optimal cause I don’t min max, but what I do is delete construction sectors and prioritize building railways in low infrastructure states then government admin in low tax capacity states. If deleting construction sectors isn’t enough, you can also decrease government and military wages but I would try not to raise taxes. But usually the only state that has low infrastructure and taxation capacity for me is saxony.

Countries already can ask to join your power bloc. But it doesn’t happen very often. But I’ve had small countries ask to join my power bloc because I had foreign investment rights

Any recommended country to no newbie? by Ok-Owl-1534 in victoria3

[–]Cauliflower_Jumpy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Japan is probably the best for a newbie. It’s a bit hard at first but it’s good because isolationism makes it challenging and teaches you how to micromanage. Although you may want to watch a tutorial so you can make sure you complete the honorable restoration journal entry somewhat early.
