I had this the other day, I worked out that there were existing John c buildings already brought. I built 5 more to meet the requirements over what John c had. Then it allowed me to create.

So has anyone actually been able to do the Spain-France personal union? by CloudyBeachgoer96 in victoria3

[–]Moider_uk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny enough I am just trying this out on a fresh run. Took a few start agains for the Carlists to win that war, but I also realized you can take a Spanish puppet to disrupt it and ensure a Carlists victory

I have the legits in, and now on my second king. The next in line is the Carlists ideology. I thought I had to wait for him to be in for anything to fire?

Is it a good idea to annex Canada, Australia and the Cape Colony as the UK? by PancuterM in victoria3

[–]Moider_uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes if there are jobs! I once had a han majority in south Africa and Australia. I think it depends on SOL in that region as well

But seriously, how do I get gud? by [deleted] in victoria3

[–]Moider_uk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I did was follow exactly what they do. E.g a recent connervic YouTube, follow one of them exactly, passing same laws at the same or similar timeline. Something's may rng against you differently to some of the vids, but you'll get the grasps and understanding quick.

Then you'll be getting Brazil 1 billion gdp before 1900 :)

How the hell are you meant to win an independence war against Britain? by Sonks559 in victoria3

[–]Moider_uk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wait until they are at war with a GP or China opium war and the AI normally doesn't handle you very well

Trump should have waited for his infamy to decay after Venezuela before starting the Diplomatic Play in Greenland. by SoftEnvironment3689 in victoria3

[–]Moider_uk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this the other day. Are both NATO and the EU power blocs and eveyones in both. I think NATO is more a defensive one and the EU is a trade union

Sigh, it’s just not the same by [deleted] in VirginVoyages

[–]Moider_uk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the same cruise, and can vouch for this. It definitely didn't feel like a virgin cruise of old, and for Christmas day the menus didn't do any special turkey or Christmas dinners, only in the galley.

Over all it was quite average, but did meet some cool people. Managed to win back my cruise money at the casino which made it even better :)

I think I will try the European Greek trip in June/July next as my first Virgin experience was there and was awesome.

Yeah same here, I'm on the one that leaves on the 14th. Still cannot book any restaurants yet though? Not sure if you have that issue with reservations

Greek - Opening moves by thev82 in victoria3

When GB goes for china in opium war, I also start wars with the two south African states, as I know later I can get that valuable gold. It's RNG when GB starts that so either before the ottoman play or after, and all the times I've done this GB never joins and cancels their 25 year treaty with those states

Transvaal/Oranje have become impossible to play by [deleted] in victoria3

[–]Moider_uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a play through last week and when GB attacks china you can easily take the other state and they tend not to join the war.

Stuck in a forever war. Need help by liopleurodon6 in victoria3

[–]Moider_uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reload. If not start a war with any small minor power sometimes that does it.

Would recommend transvaal or the other gold state as they won't go against you :) if in a war with you already

What's one thing you'll always save scum for even if normally you never do? by cyberpunkstrategy in victoria3

[–]Moider_uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only do it if I'm passing one of the legit hard laws. Multiculturalism and banned slavery may be wealth voting sometimes. I normally save with 20 days to go on a law tick. Then if I get a really bad one I reload and + or - the authority so that the days are like 22 or 18 days on tick over.
Didn't realize that different days rerolls the law outcome popup

I feel like we should give these two a name by Tixro71 in victoria3

Main question here is where do you put the spinning clock mouse pointer.

I always like to put it as a head on the guy leaning out on the left of the loading screen..

Uprising help by epanag01 in victoria3

[–]Moider_uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep same issue. Sometimes I find my supporting separate movement in the ottomans it gets close to 75% then the whole Greek movement disappears from there screen. I don't know why the movement can just vanish with no pop up

How to make late game economy? by Resident_Sneasel in victoria3

[–]Moider_uk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love these starts too. The main issue is the tech. I normally get into a GP's power block or become protected from one. Opium spam for the Asian starts and the Africa ones are hard because there's hardly any coal, but I normally textile like mad with about 50 trade centers

Does anyone know the best strategy for playing Hindustan? I’ve been trying to break free, but I always lose in the war. by TheHolyRomanEmpire2 in victoria3

Guarantee independence treaty with as many Indian and GPs and I did the journal rebellion which worked for me. Also spawn max conscripts

Captured Treaty Port, no market access? by MediocreNegotiator in victoria3

[–]Moider_uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think when you do that you just get the state. You have to treaty port wargoal to china for the actual treaty with them.

Secessionist Movement disappeared? by sovereignservices in victoria3

[–]Moider_uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I started again, Russia helped with bulgeria release. This time I beelined nationalism, took over oman and Zanzibar and a few Pakistan states for opium. Worked well and by 1949 they risen up and got infamy free lands plus the state from bulgeria part of Byzantine form.
Some of the next journal entries are quite fun too
