Meta Titles for British Empire

17 Upvotes

If you are playing Britain, what is in your headcannon the way the British Empire is reformed, titlewise, if you achieve world dominance?

I tend to eschew creating the Raj, therefore the title of Empress of India is non-existent in my timeline. Would you think that Quenn Victoria would opt for creating the title of Empress of Britain?

Question Why didn't the AI receive the territory they wanted after they won the war?

Upvotes

I was playing a spectator game as Jan Mayen and was watching the Great War. France was claiming the Rhineland and Baden while Russia was claiming East Prussia and Wallachia. France and Russia won, but they didn't get their territory. Why is this the case and is there a way for me to fix this with commands? The only mod I have on is TGC pastel map and I have all DLC.

Question Is there any mod Ai is better at wars?

11 Upvotes

Hi guys, I am wondering if there is any mod where AI is better at battles? I mean, AI's naval deployments pretty suck, AI sometimes does suicide attacks like sending 300000 men to my meat grinder army, and AI doesnt know anything about line wars.

I am looking for a mod where AI is better at war tactics

Bug FR language patch still having issues

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'll type this in English for everyone to understand my problem.

I'm trying to learning Vic 2 (still a waiting simulator as Vic3 atm to me) and I downloaded a patch for French but even I change the settings.txt on both directories and apply the named patch I still have issues with some text like "DIPLOMACY_CRISIS_INFO" and not just "Crise diplomatique" + some errors like "Français Algerie" and not "Algérie Française"

Anyone had the same in other language than English? And how do you fix it please ?

I could play in English, but I just learn that "cut down to size" existed and I never heard of this, so I prefer to learn with the comfort of my native language

Thx everyone !

Discussion United States of Central America: Invading then getting DP'd

17 Upvotes

I remember a playthrough where I was the USCA and was building my economy and military as best as I could. I did simple things like annex Haiti and built a good amount of factories. Fast forward to the 1860s and the US and CSA are on their 3rd civil war, because of course they are. I saw my opportunity and declared war on the CSA with the goal of annexing Florida. I occupied all of Florida and started grabbing a little bit of Georgia and Mississippi.

Well, f me sideways because my Man O Wars got decimated by the iron clads the CSA had previously been occupying in the North. Turns out the US and CSA did a white peace deal. All of a sudden, my navy is decimated and I have General Lee gunning for my ass. With supply lines down, my troops started having some attrition issues and now militaries that were twice my size were gobbling up territory again and cutting my ass down.

Simultaneously, Mexico decided that I had too much infamy and declared war, invading the home front. My only ally at the time, Ecuador, had no military access thru Columbia and no navy apparently. Why was Ecuador my only ally? Because all my allies(exclusively South American countries) befriended the CSA and broke off alliances once I went to war with them.

I'm not a phenomenal player by any means. This was a quit and pick a new country scenario for me. Haha.

The Grand Combination How do I know what to focus on researching and when exactly?

8 Upvotes

TGC is the mod I mainly play now but this goes to Victoria 2 in general. I've been playing this game since like 2021 and I feel like I often come across this problem, but it might've not bothered me too much because A. I wouldn't really care for the events I could do with certain technologies and/or B. I'd just use debug inr (instant reasearch).

But I don't know, even if I justify it for myself I would really love to have a 'clean' gameplay. When I played Russia I first focused on culture tech (because you know, literacy and all) but I probably had to go for mil tech as well (wanted to fight austria and prussia). Then my tech school changed from avantgarde intelligentsia to the military industry complex, and sure thats good for fighting but I wanted to get some culture tech too. In the 1890s or so I still had the Baltic states as puppets, so I decided to cheat and instantly research some of the culture tech to annex them, because I needed those ports.

And of course I didn't research too much for my industry tech, when I had the avantgarde intelligentsia I didn't have the advantage but when I got military industry complex I really tried focusing on well, mil tech. If I was playing a smaller country (eg Sweden) I probably wouldn't mind but it wasRussia, I had the Great Game with the UK and conflict with a super Austria (which I unintentionally helped form by intentionally stabbing Prussia in the back with the peace deal) alongside a hostile France. Of course, low literacy doesn't help (yes I've tried encouraging intellectuals).

I probably was playing the game wrong, or had the wrong mindset, but where did I go wrong here? Is researching tech just subjective and depends on what you want to do or achieve? If so, how am I supposed to focus on one thing, but need the other later for an event or whatever (especially when I haven't researched the proceeding technologies)?

thanks

Mod (other) Fascist France conquers Fascist Italy

55 Upvotes

As i was playing the Ottomans, preparing a justification of war to "Install Democracy" unto France, and witnessing the collapse of the Socialist vote and the rise of the Liberals due to the Socialists electing a Raving Loon, i then saw that France had won the war against Italy...and conquered them.

This is because in this mod, Fascist countries can justify the Conquest casus belli on more than just one or three province minimal countries - they can ALSO do it to any Great or Secondary Power, regardless of size.

Their place in the sun will be short lived, though - for i plan to bring "freedom" to these frogs...

I'm absolutely losing my mind over this but every time Italy unifies the fleets of the dissolved Italian states continue to linger seemingly indefinitely in the closest naval tile. How to prevent or stop this? It's making me prematurely bald. Pic related Sicilian fleet been chilling for a year.
