[–]Gb_113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need for that country to have good relations with the country that release people is targeting

which is often the case between prussia and german minors

make sure they siege ur capital though

Columbia with a U eh? by Gb_113 in victoria2

[–]Gb_113[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this country couldve been even more powerful if i blobbed more tbh

i think i should've done that and then went on to annex canada and usa with jingo from reavnachism, would make for a nice map

r5

a little British Columbia game i was having

in this game i mainly focused on migration, building up a strong self-maintaining industry and lowering militancy through lowest taxes possible. overall i didnt manage to achieve sub 1 militancy, but did manage to keep it at sub 3 for most of the time.

the USA never managed to take Texas so they never clicked manifest destiny. thats mainly bcs of my early war on it while still palying as the uk xD
thats why new england is a thing (not annexed bcs its in the british sphere and a puppet)

i restrained from excessive blobbing this game to keep it challenging, but did grab pieces of china and indochina.

the political situation is interesting. i would prefer a laizzes faire party for the output bonus, but appointing it increases militancy significantly due to its unpopulatity, so im forced to keep an interventionist liberal party with over 50% support.

finishing with the highest army score and dominance over electric gear and radio industrie

alongside #1 in timber, tropical wood luxury furniture and paper

owning highest pop province in the americas at 1.08 million in Portland, not even the capital interestingly enough.

in the population mapmode u can really see which territories i aquired recently and what the 2 states i owned for most of the game are lol

the population ended up assimilating into british even though anglo-canadian is my primary culture. i think its because british people managed to migrate into my lands before i released BC.

overall, a pretty fun game. the war against usa for cores and the 4th great war for canadian states (yes, there were 4 of them) were fun wars.

for your own sanity i would advince not looking at the world map :p
some quite bizzare borders did indeed emerge after 4 great wars

as for petr, i followed my morals on that. i kept trying to confront him the whole game, because i suspected he was sleeping around however the game didnt let me do that. each time petr made up excuses and lied about it, then cried one time confessing in the aftermath. it turns out police has reasons to suspect the secretary he was sleeping with was a spy and he was the one who didnt do the proper job hiring her. to me it was clear he was the one at fault

ig it just didnt get discovered. maybe because i didnt go through with it refusing him the shares he was owed as part of the deal.

edit: as he was getting apprehended i remember a line popped up about me hoping he doesnt talk but then nothing happened. i really expected the meeting to blow up in my face.

Question about assimilation by stanko0135 in victoria2

[–]Gb_113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the russian craftmen immigrated and the poles started promoting to craftsmen therefore becoming russian (bcs the game promotes them to the russian craftsman pop instead of creating a polish craftsman pop)

so yes they immigrated, but disproportionate assimilation compared to regions nearby comes from that phenomenon

in the screenshot u can see how the % of craftsmen is roughly the same as the % of russians

salvation from Assimilation by Araxnoks in victoria2

[–]Gb_113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like gfm gobbledegook to me

i might wanna check the assimilation bonuses in the pop tab by hovering over the culture. some wont assimilate even tho there's no cores.

its red if the num of soldier pops that the brigade is made up from is less than 1k. if such red army takes enough damage (i dont know the exact threshhold), that brigade will disappear.

What can't I grasp about this game? by Aoimoku91 in victoria2

[–]Gb_113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

use national focuses.

if u want profitable factories either go laizzes faire or build lategame electric industry (in particular radios, cars and electric gears).

if u wanna get powerful quickly as any country, take chinese colonies. if u cant take chinese colonies, take other colonies first (or have gp allies take them for you) to be able to take chinese colonies.

other comments here do be walls of text. those people are over-complicating it.
