for example, I found myself thinking "I see tension is building up in ottoman-held southern serbia. should I support them if it comes to a crisis? Ottos could use some losses of territory and prestige. But I also have Serbian cores, if the rest of the serbs were unified, Serbia would surely put national focus on stearing up shit with me"

as I said there are plenty to tweak with the system but stuff like the above is much more late 19th century Austria than anything else the game has been able to provide

So, is this game worth 6 bucks or am I better off buying a 6-pack?

Half-Price Books.

it would worth it, sure, but you need both expansions for it to really work.

Is the second expansion playable now?

they much-much improved the silly dominion-release thing, and that was the only obvious ugliness for me. It's still Vicky2, so I find myself playing CK2 instead, but it is a much improved Vicky 2.

So....this game any good? Scale of 1-10 where 1=HOI3 and 10=EU3 complete

7.  I'm having a lot of fun playing a few games as China and Japan, and am about to go back and try Prussia.

Quick question, Victoria II is on -75% at Steam, so is the vanilla on it's own worth playing or do I need all of the expansion too ?

As per the default policy when buying Paradox games : Buy with all expansions.

Thanks for that, but I didn't wait too long and purchased the vanilla, I'll have a play now and if I'm touched by it, I'll buy the rest at the weekend.   :)

I bought Vanilla a couple months ago....been a bit underwhelmed by it. Whole lot of staring at the screen unable to do very much waiting for something to happen. Does it get better with XPs?

This has probably been commented on before, but first time i've seen it since i've been playing Victoria II again and came across this in one of the newspaper articles:
