Grand Strategy/Paradox

no it's 1% crats of accepted culture

which can be done with ~10% of primary culture in the place, if you encourage bureaucrats until you have way more than needed

still I never clicked in make free state, so i have no idea how it got there. capitalists made a factory in there, too, which is failing due to a lack of craftsmen.

Italians don't trust Africans to do their dirty work, so have to get there themselves?

Anyway here it is.



Those 40% Irish are all just immigrants, as I have no other territories beside what you can see on the screen! Also the immigration wave has not ended. Soon I am sure those guys will just say: "Fuck it, we'll never get free under the UK. Let's better claim Finland to ourselves and call it Ireland"

[ElMartu]

LOL i was going through each chart and i was like, "yep, all good", then I saw the culture... shit, I guess you've made an utopia of sorts, to have so many different cultures as an European nation.

Also is that Scandinavia?

[Kirgiz]

yes. Look thats finland, below is Reval (Tallinn) and there's Novgorod...

[Jubin]

Also is that Scandinavia?

Yup, that's Scandinavia, formed by Sweden.
Heres the list of the nationalities you can find in my country in alphabetical order: British, Finnish, Greek, Irish, North Italian,  Polish, Russian, South German, Spanish and Swedish. That is all, for now. Total of 3.8 million people, when I started at 1836 I had 800k.

[ElMartu]

I meant Scandinavia as an unified state , my bad for not specifying

[Jubin]

Reached 1886 so a little update gonna put new nationalities in bold inside the quote!

Yup, that's Scandinavia, formed by Sweden.
Heres the list of the nationalities you can find in my country in alphabetical order: British,Bulgarian, Czech, Estonian Finnish,French, Greek,Hungarian, Irish,Lithuanian,North German, North Italian,  Polish,Romanian, Russian,Serb, South German,South Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian That is all, for now. Total of 3.8 million people, when I started at 1836 I had 800k.

Now, my Population has grown to 13.5 million. So around 10mil in 20 years, so around 500k/year. I also now have bigger population than Scandinavia!



Also when checking most of the people from North Germany are clerks, liberal and Jewish - on another note, Germany formed.

[ElMartu]

That's f**ked up, bro.

man this is the prettiest europe ever

ignore snake Italian Africa at the bottom

[Jubin]

You helped out Serbia? I do agree though, it is beautiful Europe, seems kind of calm on a map.

[ElMartu]

Yes, yes I did.

It may be calm for now but in a couple years after some truces wear out it will be madness again.

[Jubin]

Still on my Finnish game



Quick update. In 1890 got new liberal party, which had pro military, so that's good. Started building my army and waiting for my moment to attack Russia to get out of my satellite status. I got my moment in 1913 when Russia started a war against Germany and Austria. Quickly mobilization my troops to the border and then attacked. Like it always is Russia then made truce with Austrians and Germans and concentrated on me. But it was already too late for him as I had already occupied too great of his territory and his war exhaustion was too great. So I offered him a white peace and he accepted.

After the war I quickly built up the relationship with Russia again, just so he wouldn't attack me after the truce would end. Mission accomplished as I got him to sign a defensive alliance. From other side Scandinavia also wanted an alliance which I agreed on, knowing that I would eventually have to fight the Germans.
In 1921 Russia started another war against Germans and I saw an opportunity in it to expand my own territory in the expense of the Germans and so I did!
By now I have 80 mil people in my country and my rank is 5th with German, UK, Italy and Russia before me.

[ElMartu]

I guess that's total population, not adult male - 80 millon would be so fucked up, I don't even reach 23 as Italy in 1900

[Jubin]

I guess that's total population, not adult male - 80 millon would be so f**ked up, I don't even reach 23 as Italy in 1900

Actually that would be adult males. The difference, beside the game, is that I have still massive amount of immigrants coming in, while I guess your Italy does not.

Edit: And here's the final score of the Finnish game.

DUDE

DUDE I OWN HALF OF AFRICA

how

that is SO f**ked up man, according to the engame stats you have almost 3.5 millon habitants per province

Well most populated provinces - Tornio - 10.6 mil, Oulu -  9.8 mil, Kajaani - 10.1 mil, Kuopio - 10 mil, Mikkeli - 8.2 mil, Kotka - 9.8 mil. Other provinces stay around 1 to 2 million usually depending on how late of the game I got my hands on them and how great of a immigration magnets are they (For some reason immigrants loved Sweden)

Some more end game thoughts. Playing Ricky it seems Immigration is the way to go. Just too bad that it's hard to do in Victoria 2, due to capitalists being imbeciles in Victoria 2. Also being satellite sucks, especially when being satellite to Russia, as you have to wait a long time to get the chance to ever be free and in my case I was not able to do any colonization.

Well onto a new game.
