For Victoria II no, I went with the brick wall approach.  But with Crusader Kings I did use the YouTube.
I cheated and still failed :sorcerer:
Lol, nope :3

You didn't really join the race for African colonies did you? Well, doesn't matter because you decapitated Italy and I think you took a state from France.

Looks like the British gained Washington, Oregon and Idaho. You look like you gained the tip of Northern Italy, Austria, Alsasce-Lorraine and Hungary.

Wait...did British Columbia secede!? Typical hippie bastards.

Since we're showing our Vic 2 empires I might as well join in.

After I bought the new dlc, hearts of darkness I decided to start a new play trough.

The country? The Netherlands of course.

First I used to new Crisis system to get the Wallonie back from Belgium and after that I allied with GB and took their last state by force. skip ahead to the year 1889.

Second Great war!


Yeah, I kicked France ass, with most of their armies trapped in their colonies France was quickly overrun by my forces.

In the end they offered me my wargoal of French Guyana and 7 Times Great War capitulation, I quickly accepted and got around 250 Prestige, this also brought their military strength to ZERO.



The year is 1907 now and I'm comfortably sitting between the other great powers, Italy and the Franco-Austrian coalition are still busy fighting the Great war that became a stalemate after I accepted France's offer Russia left the war victorious after taking a state from Italy and demanding a few great war capitulations.



And finally, the world map, as you can see I was busy taking Egypt but they suddenly became civilized during the Second Great War and allied themselves to the USA, I'll figure out a way to get their states but I will take some more time. The North German Federation also finally formed after the Great War (Prussia and France signed a white peace) but the Germans are crippled by rebellion and France is sending every soldier it has into Italy, this leaves me and Russia as the Major Military powers of continental Europe.



 
On a side note, the military power you get from Dreadnoughts is just crazy! I build a attack fleet of 12 Dreadnoughts and I got more than a hundred points from it!

I was landlocked when the colonization hit so I missed out on it.  That is why I'm going to grab what I can from Asia.

England released them as a satellite.

Alright, I now want this game. How steep is the learning curve?

England released them as a satellite.

I suppose that is...acceptable.

Victoria is actually a lot easier to pick up than Hearts of Iron 2, or EUIII, but still, get your climbing gear

I managed to kill off 70% of my country's military as I realized that attrition existed in the game. And this stuff with the professions among your citizens and all that just confuse me. I personally think EUIII is much simpler.

I guess you will try to pick Great Britain on your first try, don't do that, they're the most boring country in this game in my opinion, at least in the beginning.

I'm afraid I must, because the British Empire is awesome. And I really want to reclaim the Thirteen Colonies.

You know, you can start as the British, liberate Canada and than steamroll the USA into their rightful place as a province in the Greater Canadian Empire.

Just take attrition into account. I didn't do that, and it didn't go too well for me because of it.

So I finally managed to ascend the learning curve of Victoria II, as Sweden, of course. So I conquered Denmark and formed Scandinavia in usual order. Then a crisis broke out between Great Britain and the Russian Empire over the independence of Poland. I joined forces with the Brits along with Spain and Austria because I wanted to take Finland from the Russians, and Prussia and France joined the Russians. No peaceful solution was made, and war broke out in 1853, and went quite badly at first. Then everything turned when the whole Prussian army  decided to take a tour through entire Russia and back for no apparent reason, and the Russians suffered a revolution, so I managed to blockade all Prussian ports and invade Finland with full force.

The war ended on my part in 1857 after I defeated the Russians and took all of Finland from them. My economy was excrement by now, but soon I got an enormous boost in mining output due to a random event and suddenly the money started flowing in like never before. Now, in 1858, the war is still going on between Britain and Russia, but I'm richer than ever while Russia was left crippled.

I'll get a map once I gain access to the internet with that computer.
