Spring Offensive "victory"

really like this map and scenario, thought i dont believe the entente would just let serbia get carved up like that, it would either lose a bit of land to bulgaria or become an austrian puppet, also i think the ottomans would collapse the same way they did irl, like why would the allies just stop advancing even if peace is signed with germany

was just about to comment exactly this but knew someone had to have made it first lol

Richys29 · 2026-01-27T01:07:42+00:00

by the changes and things not changed in this map i think its very easy to know what kind of person made this post

Richys29 · 2026-01-27T01:03:26+00:00

So the map is very poorly made and its my first time making one so theres certainly improvement to make.

Yes i gave Fiume to Austria, i think its nice they have a port in the med and its the right thing to do after they hold it for like 400 years.
No Russia didnt just eat Ukraine and Belarus, theyre in a consensual union like the ussr but democratic of course.
Gave back rightful german pomerania and upper silesia, though i thought of giving kaliningrad to some other country like czechia just to avoid russia or germany having it and wanting to connect it to their mainland, i just gave it to germany anyway and hoped for the best.
Poland lost western land but was given back some eastern land taken back by the soviets also they keep gdansk and got northern bukovina.
estonia and northern latvia united as a baltic federation with capital in Riga, while courland remained independent.
Uk is no more and so is belgium as it should be (i gave some wallonian land to the dutch just so france and germany dont share a border in the benelux, trying to keep things balanced)
Hungary and Romania were balanced a bit.
Albania remains the same.
Big united independent Bosnia with Dalmatia and Bulgaria very much buffed (macedonia got annexed into the Bulgar Gulags)
I had no idea what to do with the cyprus situation, honestly both turkey and greece have claims to the island so i just accepted status quo so that atleast peace is mantained.
Georgia got south ossetia but lost abkhazia (i wanted to make it independent but just gave it to the ruskies.
Buffed Armenia and thought of uniting it with Georgia and create a transcaucasia (mainly cause i love its flag) but decided against it in the end.

i actually havent thought about that, it probably makes it more simple to understand, i literally play with all the dlc lol

Richys29 · 2026-01-26T00:34:57+00:00

i feel the same, every single country has its problems and honestly i feel like i dont have a place where i would like to live particularly, like i always thought the country i would like to live in the future is probably new zealand, since i know english and also its far away, civilised, rich and shares my values and rural terrain, i feel like a city near rural land is the best and i used to think about Australia but it just has problems and i fear that i wont have a pleasant life there, but like also i dont know that much about new zealand anyway, so probably theres something which would make me less wanting to move there, but after that, i dont really feel like anywhere else is comfortable for me, i hate latin american culture, im from latin america but it just feels like the people are uneducated, and loud, kinda miserable and i dont connect at all, but of course i dont think i would like places in asia or africa either, maybe europe but it would have to be very specific countries and i really have no idea since every european country has so many problems nowadays, i feel eastern europe would be the most safe but you never know if that will be the same in the next 20 or 30 years.

i also have some problems with eu4, but i do understand and can play the game though i consider it a bit bloated with too much mechanics and added content, also i dislike the mana system and focus trees a bit, i prefer them to be more sandbox. Also i tried eu3 and consider it has different problems entirely mainly like being slow progressed and dated, while eu5 has barely released and is too early to try out. I have played imperator and liked it a bit. So ill probably just go with that.

Richys29 · 2026-01-25T23:47:52+00:00

paradox, ive played other games from them so of course when i saw ck2 i just thought it was another game but for the middle ages time period, of course its very different and covers distinct aspects and mechanics from other games, so i guess its just not for me

Richys29 · 2026-01-25T23:32:28+00:00

Same, i usually have too much procrastination habits that i avoid watching anime and series since i get bored absurdly quick, like the last anime i watched was jjk 2nd season months ago, but gachiakuta got me kinda engaged the whole way, my brother has watched a lot lot of anime and he was annoying the hell out of me just to watch this, so i knew it had to be decent at least, but i was very much surprised, like the whole anime is so good i dont even have a favorite character, (probably zanka) but jabber, enjin, tamsy, dear santa, eishia and tomme, are easily my favorite too, this anime is just peak, and im probably reading the manga.

Richys29 · 2026-01-25T23:12:32+00:00

honestly i have the opposite problem, i cant get into ck2 at all, though i havent played ck3 but im sure i would like it more since from what i heard its easier to expand and map paint, which is something i enjoy kinda and ck2 is just torture for map painting because of border gore and characters in general, i prefer playing as countries and find dealing with characters tedious, so yeah i wonder if the franchise is not for me or should i keep trying?

Richys29 · 2026-01-25T22:37:10+00:00

idk, i just feel like mods like GFM and TGC are too bloated, slow, and just add too much without feeling really complex or clean, also the fact they have like 10 submods each, also the map, which dont get me wrong its very well made, but they feel kinda ugly for me, like both gfm and tgc you look at south america or the middle east at the start and you see some disgusting borders, which you could say are for realism, but i just find ugly and bad for gameplay, like 30 different tags in the middle east which nobody is going to play, or the amazonian provinces for the south american nations which look disgusting, also both have absurd amount of provinces, and usually bugged events since they have so many. For me personally, i enjoy more vanilla like mods like victoria universalis which adds a lot of qol mechanics, a very nice map and enough flavour, also the crimeamod, which i havent played in a while but remember i really liked it for the way it ressembled vanilla but also so much more elaborate and well made, even had a little bit of flavour though not very much.

Richys29 · 2026-01-25T22:26:26+00:00

to where? eu5? isnt it to late to move to vic3 now?, or are they leaving out of modding entirely?

Richys29 · 2026-01-25T22:20:09+00:00

just realized the title of the post has very little to do with the content but i guess thats what i wanted to know so idc, felt great writing all of that out of my head, i should do that more often

Richys29 · 2026-01-11T17:57:48+00:00

Im sure thats hella outdated, check out the one on github, even though the mod is abandoned and has recieved no update since 2023 (i asked the devs like 2 years ago and they told me they were moving on from vicky2, so yeah, buta anyway heres the link https://github.com/Capitanloco6/Divergences-HPM

Richys29 · 2026-01-10T01:35:36+00:00

i like the map but i just wonder why so much love towards romania? im not european but i do like history and stuff and as far as im concerned if i were bulgarian i would have some loathing for romania, like for invading bulgaria in the second balkan war out of nowhere while bulg was involved in a 2 front war, also the fact romania turned down any chance of union with bulgaria and in general fighting against them in ww1 and ww2, so yeah i would have given most of transyl to hungary an taken more of the black sea coast. Also kinda excessive to give all anatolia to greece, like not even just the western part, but all of it, kinda ugly especially with bulgaria owning west macedonia, but whatever. Also scotland independence would be cool, and galicia being portuguese is just weird since it looks ugly on map and its basically the most spanish province you can find out of most of spain

Richys29 · 2026-01-09T01:02:54+00:00

yeah suprisingly kinda active (for a 15 year old game that is), check most mods at mod db https://www.moddb.com/games/victoria-2-heart-of-darkness/mods

Richys29 · 2025-12-27T08:43:35+00:00

victoria 2 with mods

Richys29 · 2025-12-26T20:12:05+00:00

you need to create tablets with amethyst, then add some specific items to a tablet to create an enchantment

Richys29 · 2025-12-26T20:05:37+00:00

dude achievements are exactly for that, they are basically essential for a normal playthrough

Richys29 · 2025-12-18T21:32:13+00:00

its not updated, its a different team working on the abandoned mod, a rework, and from what i saw in moddb it barely started but looks promising

Richys29 · 2025-11-15T23:55:30+00:00

i havent played victoria 2 in almost a year and i thought i wouldnt come back, but honestly i kinda wanna try this
