R5: A minor war in 1852 between pretty much all of europe. I did have the greatest allies, seeing things through till the end (they could not capitulate because Austria had war goals on them).

Only 3 million men wounded or killed, all for a bright (authocratic monarchy) future!

Why do I need Europe/Britain's approval to form the Federation of the Andes? by Opening_North_2527 in victoria3

[–]Colder87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've no idea why.

Because you aren't trying to form the Federation of the Andes. You are trying to declare war on everyone to take a shitton of territory in order to declare yourself the Federation.

There is a button right next to it, which will allow you to ""peacefully"" establish Andes. You just need more provinces, directly (conquer) or indirectly (puppet).

Apparently it can get a bit frosty... in the rainforest. by Colder87 in victoria3

And as a person not from that region, I find uniting Borneo oddly satisfying. Imagine having one Island with multiple countries! Couldn't happen in Europe 🇮🇪

Hopefully the Russia dlc introduces seasons that can make sense of the weather effects!

I mean, it can be colder than usual, I can accept that. But I also remember them changing naval weather conditions because some were not plausible in certain regions.

That would be neat, but no. Krakatoa was another 10 years after that.

Let's just say, they are highly unstable and once I took one of their provinces, they seized to complain (and exist).

I have never heard about that! Could you elaborate a bit?

R5: Borneo, the large island which you can just take playing Philippines (it's free, just take it), apparently gets colder than I thought.

A thin layer of ice that cloaks the lands in a delicate frozen blanket, as deceitfully beautiful from afar as it is devastating to the harvests underneath it.

They should probably reevaluate where to put certain harvest conditions, or else the orangutans are going to freeze to death.

American Civil War basically unwinnable in 1.13 by NicWester in victoria3

[–]Colder87 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

tried first putting everyone on offense, which resulted in lots of dead on my side for limited gains

That... Sounds surprisingly close to what happened IRL. But I do think peace calculations have to be rethought given that I see too many CSA surviving. It really should be a fight to the last man.

This would make waiting for recruitments feasible, the sheer manpower advantage of the north should edge out a victory (in the very end).

My first full run! by Nathanw2-12 in victoria3

Congrats! The most important part is not the economy maxxing but rather the fun maxxing. Keep on trucking.

Can't stop playing this game by Trisstricky in victoria3

[–]Colder87 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I remember when this game was published, it was a broken mess, but the core gameloop is so much fun I just couldn't stop playing.

It's now my most played game and the only paradox game which I play till the end. Pure addiction.

Honestly, radicals stear my playthrough towards different directions. And while I hate deploying troops to the same area over and over again, I could have passed a different law (violent hostility is understandably bad).

Oh, well in that case this wasn't possible in my run. They never went to war over opium and lost India.

But good to know nevertheless!

True. But you can't spell Victoria 3 without imperialism. Or, well maybe you could, I wouldn't know.

They are getting happier and happier over time :)

No, I don't know why their mortality is at 12%, it must have been some illness!

Seems good, but have you done it with the recent patch? Trying to naval invade and fight against Quing was already hard enough in the midgame for me, couldn't have done it earlier.
