Grand Strategy/Paradox

[Void]

A dilemma here guys, hear me out.
I have a desktop PC and a laptop all going through a single wireless router(Desktop uses ethernet cable while laptop uses wireless). Can I play Victoria II with my mates using these settings and if yes, how? If your answer is "no", what do I need to change?
Thanks in advance.

tbh Tunngle is the best option, by far

you have to open ports and stuff like that to connect thru direct IP, and it's a bit complicated, even more so than other games

Tried Tunngle but still, we can't see each other in rooms even after forwarding the ports.

You should be able to play with those settings like any normal LAN game without any extra programs. Just make sure same version, firewall not blocking and any other usual suspects. If that doesn't work, just get some long cable for the laptop. Although that shouldn't be necessary.

if you forwarded ports, you could just try using direct IP for connecting i mean, look up the ports you need for EU3, they are 6xxx, I forgot them now

Before 1868: "Which side to pick, Prussia or France, Prussia or France"

Year 1868 - Germany forms, starts to industralize like crazy, brings it's troops near my border.

"Ahhhhh, Ummmm. I think I'll take Prussia's side" Relationship with Prussia: -200.

1882 - Prussia declares war. "oh, well at least France guaranteed my independance and sides with me, this might not be all over.

1883


"Aaah, shiiit"

[ElMartu]

From the little I understand from that picture, at least you managed to push the Dutch back quite a bit before being buttfucked by the german rape train

Well that's easy enough to do, also got Liberia out of the USA hands, thanks to the British.

Between Three Powers!
Poland

"Ahoy fellows! Good news! Czar  Nicholas I sent us a good word. He wrote that, thanks to our great service in the Russian Empire he has decided to give us a greater autonomity. This calls for some vodka!" " Hail to the new King! Hip-hip hurrraaaa!"

"So my Highness what is store for the great realm of Poland" "Well, my good sir if this is between us I'll tell you. I have decided to unite together all the Poles. Unite them together once again under one banner." "But that, my highness means we must go against the Russians" "Well, if we must, then we shall."

"Tell me, Minister of economy, what's the status of the country. What is still rightfully ours?" "My King, we have some of our farmers harvesting grain, other resources consist of fruits and cattle also one province has sheep." "That's not much, but it has to do for now."

"Where's our Home Secretary?" "Over here, your highness!" "What's the situation of my nation!" " Total amount of our population reaches to 659 000, my king, over 90 percent of them are farmers." "What about nationality wise?" " Almost 91 percent are polish and the 9 percent are Russians who are loyal to your crown." "Good."
"Minister of Defence, do we have any available troops?" "No, my liege, all the soldiers were true to Czar and serve him."

1836 - 1856

1848
"My King! My King! Kra....Krak.." "Calm down now Minister, what news to you bear to me about foreign lands today that are so urgent!" "There are uprisings in Krakow and northern parts of Austria. They might defect to our Kingdom, if the Austrians won't bring them down in time, as those are rightfully your territories." "We have to wait and see."

1850
"My King! You have to hurry, they are here!" "Who is?" "The rebel scum" "They don't like the way you run the country." "No trouble, I'll defeat them by myself!" Loud noise is heard and the palace door opens, single shot and the body falls to the ground! " POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

1851
"My fellow citizens! Listen to me now! It's been exactly one year since the King has been dead. No longer will the Polish people let one single man decide, what is right for the whole realm. From now on we are DEMOCRACY!"

1852-1856

"Mr President. The French have leaned on Russia!" "On which issue, my good sir?" "Poland, Mr President!" "Care to explain sir?" "Mr President....We are now Independent nation!" "That's great news! What are you waiting for, go and let the papers know. The people must know about this"

"My fellow politicians, I have gathered you around here today, to recap the last 20 years of our great nations. So how are we doing?" "Mr President, well our situation has been improved. We are now sovereign state with no one to answer to. Our population has grew over 200 000 people, we are getting close to one million. Also our people can read and write more these days, although it's still less than half. Also our economy has grew a bit, our income is always greater than or expenditure"
"So, any downsides?"" Well, if you already asked Mr President. There are some major concerns. We don't have any capitalists sir, yet our people are liberal. We need more capitalists!" "That shouldn't be a problem, just get some money from our countries fund and educate some people to become capitalists" "But there's not enough money, sir." "I know, why won't we sell our technology to other countries, then use that money!" "Well sir, there's one problem with that. We aren't seen as trustworthy country in the world and they don't want to negotiate with us." "Anything else?" "Yes, we still don't have any divisions in our army and some people are getting restless" "Well I guess we have our work cut out for us. No time wasting. Meeting over."

Democracy? Game over man, game over

And what happened with Belgium? Germany was too rough on you?

[Jubin]

Democracy? Game over man, game over

Yeah, abandoned Belgium. Got wedged between two too Great powers. Also Democracy doesn't mean game over in Ricky( Victoria: revolutions) Democracy is a great crowd pleaser as is Liberals with their Laissez-Faire policy. Although I have also abandoned Poland for the reason I had never before encountered in my country - emigration.



I have now moved onto Finland. Playing that have inspired me to write an event into my Victoria. I want to write an event that would make any nationality that is more than 15% of my population an accepted culture if your government has "Limited Citizenship" or "Full Citizenship"

[ElMartu]

Democracies in small countries are a huge problem - with a LF policy, and no capitalists, you will never get an industry rolling, I always find they need a little start with State Capitalism before handing them over to the AI to manage properly.

Also, if you make that event, make it so it's only applicable for Free States, else you're going to end up with accepted cultures of Africa, especially if you're a small nation like Netherlands or Belgium.

Well getting capitalists is easy and then they get it started, costs around 8k gold what you can get from selling your tech. Nah, not gonna put that restriction to only from free states. Although I still have to think it over how to exactly do that, because in that way yeah getting colonies to become statehood will become too easy and then industralization will be game ruining.

[ElMartu]

yeah it reminds me how for some very odd reason I have a free state in the middle of today's Sudan, which about 15% italian pop... I have no idea how they got there, and how the state stopped being a colony by itself.

[Jubin]

Victoria 2? There you have your 1% bureaucrats and it can be made into a state. My game - the colonies primary culture must be accepted one.
