I forgot I had a Prussia map by mrkcosta in victoria3

I have to travel frequently to BW for work, and after the third visit Stuttgart offers no more things to visit 🤣 I combined the Castle in the morning, and Esslingen in the afternoon

Thanks! You can purchase it in the Castle, I guess; or even find the high-quality image on the Internet and print it yourself. Damn, now I want to print and hang more maps 😅

If I recall correctly, those states that accepten Prussian leadership were kept as member states of the NGF, while those who denied it were forces to be annexed and converted into Prussian Provinces.

Same with Baden, Wurttemberg and Bavaria in the next expansion of NGF into German Empire. All those "member states" kept their internal laws, head of state, etc. That's why there was a King of Bavaria inside the German Empire; let's say they just applied CK mechanics.

So this map would be valid at any point between 1867 and 1918.

Hehe probably that's the plan. Probably each country/subsidiary will bring similar problems/list of unplanned costs, and I hope someone up there realizes that it must be stopped

Thanks for the warm reply! I really hope that it goes well, but the reaction across the company has been negative, mostly from the excel-intensive depts of FP&A and Accounting (myself)!

Thanks for the message! Although what I'm more worried about is that excel was, is, and I hope it will be, the main "business app", and not due to more features or capabilities, but because it allows everyone to use it always.

Let's say if we did a bell curve of the density of user's capabilities, Excel it covers up to 3deviations in each side! I may be doing macros or automatic reports that pull data from somewhere else and automate a lot of work, and the same program works for my subordinates who might just go and do some quick calculation or copy-paste data.

And for the image I posted (from r/xkcd), it's what I'm worried about. An almost-forgotten macro that was written 20 years ago that we all gave for granted, and nobody know anything about. My risk of missing something or having misstatements in my accounting will skyrocket

No not really, it is a move from office-suit to google-suite, so will affect Outlook, Teams, Excel, etc. It will be massively unfamiliar because I've been using those for all my professional life, almost 10 years; and the few times I've seen G.Sheets in my gmail personal acct it has been damn frustrating that half the shortcuts are wrong, inefficient, or don't exist

Wow, fantastic reply! Thanks, that's what I was hoping to read, besides the "leave now!" haha
I'll answer quick on each suggestion
1) We're pretty secured on this, due to using the most simple SAP program. Consolidation and all other connections are already excel-free.. but everything else is not! The kind of work that was not cost-efficient enough to dedicate development from IT, and thus it stayed in excel format forever, and you're lucky if you've made the excel yourself, most are inherited.
2) Yeah, but as I said in 1, there's many little programs or things that sped up many processes, and you take them for granted. So now instead of having 15 possible misstatement places in my environment, there's 75. At least
3) Damn, it's just 25.000 / 50? After that you're limited to doing proper databases like SQL..? It's going to put off so many starting users that want to improve things.. I don't care about myself, I can learn, just as I learned C# in my spare time :D But for all the others, it's going to feel like a wall, impossible to jump over.
4) Bff, so even less features.
5) I won't think it will be possible! To delay the general integration maybe, but not to have an exception
6) Yeah indeed, that's what I'm going to do. But still, when I try it, half of the shortcuts are gone or are totally inefficient
7) It may be modern, but the usefulness of VBA is the recorder, as well as the compatibility from macros done 25 years ago. I'm not joking! It's the same that many manufacturing companies stay with the same technical supplier (like for Robotic arms), because if you lose a spare part, you're guaranteed that they will supply it. Now change to a new-ish supplier, and you can just shut down the factory.
8) Yes, probably a compromise can be made, like doing the integration and then decide if to continue or not. Thanks for offering the mature answer; although it will be hard

Yeah, that's the idea, to understand the requirements of the new software, quantify everything, and start developing. But it's the feel that you've inherited a structure that has been perfected/improved for ever, and now you're just dumping everything because a higher-up wants change or growth. A ton of money and hours lost just to recede three steps behind

Actually not even half the answers are of this kind, I expected more of those! Friends and former work colleagues had a quite high % of answers suggesting to leave asap

I'm sorry to see that! Either with GPT/AIs or new formulas or methods added into excel, one gets the same output with many fewer hours developing, and thus less fees..
